I tried out creditkarma's thing this year and it seemed fairly decent. I normally use H&R Block and didn't really notice much of a practical difference between the two.

I think I'm gonna see the new alien movie in IMAX because I think the experience will be worth it even if the movie is bad.

Looks a hell of a lot better than Prometheus. First trailer was pretty well put together so I'm actually hype for it.

Shame they canned Blomkamp's alien project though. He's fairly one note and I'm sure Scott's movie will be better but I still thought it sounded interesting

Blomkamp's alien would have been all about the xenonorphs just being misunderstood and discriminated against.

Meanwhile, I lost the job offer I had before coming to the US, because the company has stopped sponsoring and extending work visas indefinitely due to the looming bill that's going to wreck companies with more than 10% international employees, HR670 high-skilled fairness act AMERICA FIRST or something.

Along with another executive order pending, immigration officers are essentially expecting the H1-B visa program to die before the end of the year.

Companies I've applied for have almost exclusively cited the same reason, expecting me to not be able to work beyond my 12 months of OPT time on a student visa. Three employers have downright stated that they can't hire international students in the current situation, which - hilariously enough - is discriminatory enough for me to legally sue my way in the door, but I understand where they're coming from, ham-fisted as their denial may be.

I'm legit happy that almost all of my hispanic or chicano work colleagues and fellow students (with the exception of one lazy dude) got pretty good gigs offered, two of which in Texas, no less.

There is, however, a healthy amount of good-natured jokes that I'm on the business end of as an overqualified white dude that isn't getting jobs versus his brown friends.



/edit:

On a sadder note, there are waaaaay too many monumentally dumb white people in this business school that have job offers despite phoning in four years of their parents spending tens of thousands of dollars on their education.

I was thinking about finishing off my bachelors down the business route. I work for a good company now, bosses love my work ethic (not so much the beard). There's a few people here in line to retire/die by the time I finish my degree anyhow. And they're pretty willing to agree to an internship, maybe even paid.

It's that, or finish in something like geography, and probably still work in this warehouse but without a way up to the office. I'm just needing the time in school to polish a few rough edges.
