I know it sounds goony as gently caress but having kids in this day and age seems like such a bad idea. We've surpassed 7 billion, global warming is going to gently caress us shortly and if it doesn't kill us, the next generation will get it. I'm resigned to not having kids, but I know for every one of me, there's a Catholic family who puts out 11 kids.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:I applied for a job at a public agency for which I'm perfect. The role of the position is the venn diagram intersection between two niche subdisciplines. I am expertly skilled in both those two niche subdisciplines. That intersection is basically my entire shtick. The position calls for an associates degree and 2 years of experience. I have a masters and 4 years of experience. Sucks man, sometimes you have the perfect resume lined and then something torpedoes your chances and you'll never learn why. Happened to me with a position I interviewed for last summer, you just have to move on.

At least in Texas, adopting a kid is more expensive and takes way longer than having a kid. I get in the context of his argument it makes sense, but of the people we know that foster/have adopted, it's not a process for the weak.

I was told in my review for 2016 that performance-based raises are non-negotiable at my company. Then again I still got 3% this year even though all I ever hear from my boss is how I need to re-do this or that document or do a better job of saving e-mails, so I'll take it until I finally get out of this dead-end role.

I work at a small company so we don’t have a lot of structure around compensation and raises which can make it a lot easier because there’s no “policy” that you’re asking them to forgo.

I’m a little disappointed, between 4 cats and 2 dogs I’ve owned in my life, none of them has ever demonstrated even a passing interest in what’s on tv, and it always seemed so cute and fun.

Yeah my cat doesn't give a poo poo what's on TV over...Jesus it's been over 10 years now. Except once. One team she freaked the gently caress out when I was watching some nature show on hyenas. I'd had shows on them on in the background before and since but for whatever reason they scared the living poo poo out of her this one time, she normally has this really sleek tail but she was growling at the screen and all her hair was standing straight up. Looked like a completely different animal. Probably scared me as much as it did her. 10 minutes later she was fine again and sleeping, and this never happened again.

How can you do a "better job of saving e-mails" like, why bother deleting emails at all? I got a ~3% raise this year, which was presented to me as an exciting reward! I pointed out, gently, that I was modestly pleased that this year my salary would at least be flat after cost of living adjustment, and that kind of took the wind out of my (new) boss's sails.

There was this thing a few months ago: https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2017/9/26/16356524/the-population-question Basically, even talking about overpopulation attracts all the racists, so empowering women and reducing wealth concentration are better ways of tackling the issue.

It's less about never deleting emails and more "we need to refer to this email that we sent to the customer four years ago before you started working here, can you find it in our huge folder of customer correspondence?". Ah the joys of contract manufacturing...

If you think that's bad, for a while there we had a company-wide policy where you were only allotted 300 MB of storage space in Outlook, unless you were a director/VP or higher. Also messages were auto-deleted from your inbox after two years. Also also they heavily discouraged using your own personal network drive or any removable storage media to save e-mails, though everyone I spoke to did so and no one was punished for it to my knowledge. Fortunately they got rid of the storage cap, though I think the two-year retention policy is still in place... My role as-advertised requires a chemistry degree as we're a chemical manufacturer, but based on what I'm asked to do at my job they could save money by finding a secretary/executive assistant who happened to get an A in high school chemistry and hire them to do my job instead.

At least from an IT perspective this is a good policy if you're forced to self-host exchange because the alternative is employees never archiving or deleting emails and you have to deal with massive utterly gigantic PST files dating back to the early 2000s that Outlook will refuse to open plus constantly expanding server disk space. My old job had a 2G limit and people still complained they had to archive once a year
