As the Certified Oh Pee of this here chat thread, quit telling other people what to post about. I highly approve of making GBS threads on Sears; them shuttering like 100 stores directly led to an influx of techs while I was working, which put the kibosh on the promotion I had previously been promised and led directly to me going back to school and getting out of that field altogether. Meanwhile, Eddie Galt Lampert bought himself a shiny new like $100M mansion down in Ft Lauderdale. I had been close to a minimal independent income, and it all got yanked away cause rich boy needed another house to not live in and yanked money from the company to do it. Question: Why when I get a puncture is it always like 1 inch from the sidewall? I never get "oh yeah that's an easy fix", it's always "gently caress, I dunno if they'll be willing to patch that, it's pretty close." That and apparently I left both my factory lug wrench and the cross-type one I bought a while back at my mom's place, so now I'm waiting on a buddy to get here with his so I can put the spare on.

Luckily I don't take it personally, and get some sort of twisted enjoyment out of the whole thing most of the time, and on those rare occasions where hey, it really was something stupid I did when testing, I have no problem manning up and taking that responsibility. Strangely none of the Devs seem to hate me, and some of them even go to lunch with me and the BA's on most days. Edit: My favorite Dev response - "It works fine on my local!"

The one time I checked in something broken, I test built from trunk and it failed, and I reverted the change to the previous branch before fixing it locally so no one could pull it. But yeah, never build and walk. We have a little evil clown that our group passes around to whoever breaks the build, they get the clown.

I got my wisdom teeth out at 19. I'm 25% evolved wherein I had just three. Two bottom came out easy, one on top had actually poked through which made it easier to extract. Didn't even have puffy cheeks and healed super easy. My brother on the other hand? 100% evolved. No wisdom teeth at all. What a douche!

Otherwise you wouldn't have some clown party favor floating around for breaking the build. We use Git/Gerrit primarily. You upload your code to Gerrit. You mark that you've tested it, and how. Then a teammate needs to review the change and mark that they agree. Finally a project owner reviews the change and approves it. Then the change gets pulled into our CI system for build, deploy, and test. Once it passes all of that, the change is merged. Only a project owner can directly check in code, and thats only ever used to bypass our CI for code we know will fail some test, but is an urgent fix. Such instances need to have several members of upper management approve it. We might not test as much as we should, but no one has broken a build in the 7 years I've been around.

Thankfully after that they decided to let me restrict ALL of the dev's access. Heh, that wouldn't fly at all in my work. The Dev's only have limited access to production for trouble-shooting client issues, and then only if it gets escalated. The Dev's can only push to the Dev environment, and we don't take builds into QA until they've passed basic automated shake-out tests in the Dev environment. Of course plenty of 'new functionality' defects get through those basic tests into QA, where we find them and log the defects for fixing. Our releases are on a fixed schedule because we are contractually obligated to all of our clients to release 30, 60, and 90 day bulletins with information about the upcoming release so that they can do any coding that they need to do on their side for any changes coming down the pipe in our release. The actual push to release is handled by a completely separate group, so for anything to get to production it has to go to the Dev environment, then get accepted and taken to QA, from there it gets deployed 30 days prior to release to the UAT environment so the clients can test all their code against it. Our internal QA testing including extensive automated regression continues right up until release day. Any release because of defect fixes that has to go to production outside of the fixed release dates requires a big emergency release process that gets everyone's attention (because it requires their approval) all the way up to about the 2nd to last level of company management, therefore we do our best to avoid those, as senior management asks some pretty pointed and uncomfortable questions about how a defect that significant got through our process to production.

I've been using both the internet and computers for almost as long as I've been alive, always thought I'd end up working in a related field and in fact went to school for computer engineering. I won't go into a shitload of detail, but I dropped out before finishing due to a multitude of reasons. In fact, I think it's still somewhat expected of me (despite being 30 and lacking the resources or motivation) to be the next engineer with a degree and an iron ring because dad has a doctorate in EE. I have no student debt, my housing costs amount to about $500/m. Aside from my HS diploma, I hold a forklift operator's license, which means that when print does die, I will likely have years of experience on a forktruck and be able to get a material handling job just about anywhere until they start requiring people with degrees in robotic material handling or something. I digress. Anyways, dropping out wasn't the bad life choice it can turn out to be for most because I took a $30k/y job at a startup in Toronto doing photomask layouts for analog and digital circuits (sepecifically a SERDES that we licensed out). Some companies call that position Layout Engineer, so in some way, I kinda did make it, though my title was Physical Designer (as were all the degreed engineers doing the same job I was). That company eventually got bought by Intel and my bad life choices lead me to eventually using my small share of that to acquire a house (2014) and two derelict trucks (2009 and 2011 iirc, respectively), in a "city" in bumfuck nowhere, ontario. This resulted in me having a small financial crisis and me applying for a call-in-as-needed $12/h factory grunt job for one of the world's largest printing companies in one of the (if not the) largest facilities on this continent. I made $18k in 2015, barely scraped by thanks solely to my lack of mortgage payments, there were several multi-month periods I went without any income at all, I even considered selling the trucks, but my folks helped me out with my property taxes so I wouldn't have to. My personal debt during this time reached about $4000 and it was a constant source of sleepless nights for me. After 3 months of no work (summer 2015), I got a call from my boss asking me if I was interested in becoming part-time on-shift which meant more reliable hours (still call-in but priority over the flex pool I was in due to having an assigned shift). This included a basic benefits packaged, paid for by the company, and a nice little raise that put me at $12.62. Then at the end of the year, I found out I qualified for a nice portion of the company profit share (which was literally 15% of my income for the year), got a stellar employee review, which a raise that put me north of $13, but before that even happened, I was informed I'd be getting promoted to part-time set-crew on a machine (priority over regular part-timers, it's a convoluted system), and ended up at $14.03/h. The nice thing was this also meant almost regular paycheques, at a whopping $900 after-tax, except during the summer, but instead of 3 months of no work, it was more like 1 month of 2 shifts and 1 month of 8 shifts. 2016 income, $28k, will get the majority of my income taxes back, mostly thanks to my absurd property taxes and the Liberal Government I Did Not Vote For. Then our baler operator's heart stopped on his back porch at home, only a few months after he'd been promoted to the position after the sudden death of our previous baler operator. He survived, but whether or not he can return to work is still up in the air. In September, they posted a backup baler operator position, to cover until he returned since our existing backup operator also happens to run one of our somewhat more important machines. I got the job because I happen to have experience operating heavy machinery. Instant increase to $15.74/h, along with pay level increase from 1 to 2 that put me at $16.11/h and has me on a series of set raises until I hit $17.54/h over the next three years. Also, all level 2 and higher positions are fulltime, regardless of whether or not I'm needed as backup or on the machine I'm set-crew for, I am not a slave to call-ins anymore and I get 26 paycheques a year and my math says my before tax income, not including profit share or nightshift/weekend premiums, puts me just north of $35k projected fof 2017. I am now literally being paid more to drive a forklift and run necessary-for-production equipment than I was designing Integrated Circuits and maintaining perl scripts. Current job has essentailly zero supervision, can take breaks whenever I want, have a fridge, a comfy office chair, a desk, no computer, and all the paper scrap and paper dust you could possibly imagine. Started in September of 2014, by September of 2016 I'd gotten 3 promotions and $4.11/h in raises. Every review I've had has been stellar and there's also talk about making me the full baler operator since it is unlikely our current one will be able to do the job with a pacemaker. Unfortunately that comes with no raise, no paylevel change, or anything, because the balers, despite being intrinsic to the operation of the plant, are considered non-essential because we don't generate revenue. I am somewhat worried that they're going to offer it to me, because most baler operators end up being in there forever and I'm worried I'll be stuck there until print finally dies making the $20/h my pay level tops out at. My debt is now about $2500, and going down steadily every payday, should be debt-free before I'm 31. Sure, my income is small, but my housing costs amount to less than a quarter of my new income, so yay! Got a phone number on NYE too, I think, I think, I'm going to call it.

Got a nice spicy pot of beans cooked up, and I have the last of my new years tamales reheating via steam right now. I'm going to bed with a full belly tonight. Finally got my drat car legal again too. Kinda surprised my tow-happy apartments never slapped a tow sticker on it, but they haven't bothered my downstairs neighbor's car either (her registration expired at the end of November). IOwnCalculus posted:Ffffuuuuuuuck. I woke up mid-yank.  Novocaine and xylocaine do absolutely nothing for me either. My dentist screamed at me in front of my mother about me being a coke addict (apparently there's a cross tolerance). I had never done coke before at that point, but when I did eventually get into it, I got into it heavy. It took tons of it for me to even feel anything. slurry_curry posted:Yea, one of the implants I have to get this year is to replace I root canal I got ~4 years ago. The root has since cracked, so it needs to go. lovely part is, they have to pull the tooth, wait for it to heal, put in the implant, wait for it to heal then finally put the finished tooth on. Should be about 8 months start to finish according to my oral surgeon. At least its the tooth behind my k9 so its not super noticeable. I thought I had a crown coming off a few months back. It was a tooth that I'd had a root canal on, and it felt loose. .... the whole loving thing came out (including everything below the gum), crown still firmly attached. Thank gently caress it wasn't something in front, but it freaked me out pretty bad. I don't think there's even a gum left to put an implant in that particular spot now.  I know I'm going to need pretty much all implants eventually, but my teeth were doing the breaking thing, not the "entire loving thing falls out" thing.mariooncrack posted:Not sure if that's embedding correctly.

For reference, the last in-n-out I was at had a sign on the door indicating that they were hiring burger flippers starting at $14 an hour. I'd bet your housing costs are significantly lower than ours are, though That said, I'm also trying to get into chip design. While there are plenty of job opportunities here, there are probably 100 applicants per position, so it's not easy. If you've got that experience, I'd think your lack of degree wouldn't matter. Most of the job postings I've seen have said something like "degree or equivalent experience."

I wish, but nah. Last week was a bunch of nothing, and a trip to LA to take someone to medical rehab there (she rolled her car in that Thanksgiving wreck on the 10 south). Buddy was in that Scottsdale PMT truck that took the officer that was shot in that Walmart, though. Tonight we just took an inmate down to Florence prison, along with the requisite broken hips and 16 year old heroin psych patients.

I made $18k in 2013 as a baker. I cleared $50k this year for vastly less effort. Getting out of the job I loved but was killing me, and into monotonous computer janitor work again has worked out. I'm still pretty deeply in the hole though as all the medical issues I put off thanks to being too poor to do anything about them are catching up.
