In fact the HR lady just called me back 5 minutes ago to do a phone interview with the VP at 4 today. Luck! DC cabling is a pretty decent gig, I'm on the break/fix server repair side of the same industry.

PaintVagrant posted:This post made me genuinely happy. You've obviously made some big mistakes but your earnestness in trying to fix your situation is endearing. The difference between you and a lot of people here is that we aren't nearly as willing to openly admit our fuckups. Thank you. Besides being laid off from the union during the slow seasons I've had a job since the day I turned 16. And that was mopping up blood in the butcher's department of a grocery store. I love working and bust my rear end doing it. I just hosed up big time and I realized it. I want to make my family proud and be the best I can be. Anyone that knows me in person knows that I am very blunt and honest. Whether that means admitting I screwed up bad or calling someone out for being an rear end in a top hat, it is just who I am. It alienates a lot of people but the others always appreciate it. The phone interview just got pushed back to 9AM tomorrow, which is good so it gives me a chance to read up more on the company and some of the stuff the job entails that I am not too familiar with.

Pham Nuwen posted:This is why my favorite Top Gear episodes were the ones where they bought really cheap cars and had fun with them. You can only watch Clarkson doing laps in a supercar so many times, but watching them nurse old cars across the English/American/European/Asian/African/Russian countryside never gets old. The top gear cheap car stuff is pretty much the whole reason I got into cars (see: my username). I was a pretty big nerd/loser growing up and held zero interest in cars despite my dad being a mechanic. My first car became my winter beater after I got the SVX and I was really starting to hate that thing as there was always some loving problem with it and with money being so tight I usually just had to drive around it or find a band aid solution. After complaining about its issue of the week somebody told me to watch one of the cheap car challenges and I had that moment that rock stars always talk about when they watch Spinal Tap and its not funny because that poo poo has actually happened, then it clicked and I realized how awesome that is. I think the plan for that summer was to get some job and blow the money on video games, and it ended up turning into find an older and smaller car than my first car with a stick for my new winter beater. Ended up buying the Scirocco since my dad had terrible luck with VW poo poo when I was a kid and somehow four years later its now my year round car and I can't shut up about old 80s shitboxes now.

Enourmo posted:That sounds like the sweetest part of the deal, nothing worse than sharing a car/paying for a rental because they wouldn't play ball. That's 100% on my mechanic, my insurance only supplies a loaner car if I use one of their appointed mechanics. And if I did that, my car would have been totalled due to higher hourly rates in my local area. There's a reason why I keep using this mechanic. He's drat good, and inexpensive as far as mechanics go. And reasonably honest, which seems to be very rare.

The cheap car challenges are what really got me into cars, too. I grew up with beaters but was never actively choosing them; we were just poor. Top Gear taught me how to seek fun in them. And my bus trip and recovery is cheating on the "AI Mental-ity Meter," as ACVWs have been driven cross-county in way worse states of repair by people much higher than me for decades, so the actual risk, while high for me, averages out to be quite low on the scale.

The difference between you and a lot of people here is that we aren't nearly as willing to openly admit our fuckups. I'm perfectly willing to admit to my huge fuckups, but they were all before SA, so what's really the point now? It's nice seeing people on here try to correct their lives early enough that they won't be like me, and looking at working into my 70's due to stupid decisions in my 20's and 30's that have completely wrecked any possibility of retiring at a reasonable age though. Best of luck to anyone that makes a hard decision in an attempt to make life better.

My fiancee has no less than 200 tabs open at any point. We've had thermonuclear arguments over it, but I've just resigned myself. The worst part is when Windows 10 or the new versions of Chrome do an update and automatically restart without your input and all of the tabs open back up again, because at least 50+ of them are YouTube and at least 2 are Netflix and Amazon Prime video. It's a goddamned nightmare. I regularly run 40+ tabs, but they each rotate out with regularity, and that is over a single computing session. She leaves it on for months.

Look at this guy being wrong ^ I have 8GB of RAM for a reason, it's for firefox/chrome, not for any sort of heavy duty gaming or engineering software. Also, said web browsers reload stuff after coming back to life if they crash. It's a little like keeping all your documents in the recycle bin, but who cares.

kastein posted:Look at this guy being wrong ^ I got used to a couple Firefox-specific addons, so I stick with it. I find that after a few days and 30-ish tabs it takes a dump because of a memory leak, but I don't have to worry about that now, since Intel has hosed up their Skylake support so that the driver crashes a couple times a day.  But I keep a shitload of tabs open, nothing like kastein, though. My wife, though... poo poo. She still uses IE and doesn't use tabs, so she has a fuckton of open INDIVIDUAL WINDOWS.
