I got some really interesting insider information from the Seattle music scene today; someone I know is a musician that plays at bar-type venues in and around Seattle and they said that they had 3 gigs lined up that all got suddenly canceled. The liaison from one of the larger venues told them that the DHS is quietly going around to businesses and giving them the heads up that if cases aren't brought down within 3 months then the state is going to lock down everything like last year. This is leading music venues to cancel anything except priority shows, and they suspect that the recent Watershed Festival at The Gorge Amphitheater that happened at the beginning of August is what spurred the health department to take action. The case counts originating from that festival must be worse than the state government is letting on, and is probably directly responsible for Inslee's decision to bring back the mask mandate state-wide.

My wife works for a law firm, managing their help desk, and they just bought a shitload of laptops and started issuing them to administrative assistants. Pretty good indicator that she won't be in the office much longer. Thank god.

So let me get this straight

people in Florida who are really ill with covid are going to a library

to buy regeneron

which the governor of Florida, DeSantis, owns shares in

and they are collapsing in the queue

and the man in tallahass
said stop mandating masks
and it turned into a maga grift

you see governor ron
owns shares in regeneron
so he sent us to the library to collapse

yeah when the pandemic kicked off in march 2020 we had some all-hands meetings where he didn't know some extremely basic poo poo about how the job worked (managing logistics in a warehouse) and people were surprised he was that incompetent and he actually got openly poo poo on for once. I was laid off like a week later c'est la vie

typo for DSHS my bad. It's the Department of Social and Health Services.

edit: But they also might've meant the Department of Health and just said the wrong thing. I'm not sure, so take it with a grain of salt. Even if it's a rumor it makes me feel better that someone might eventually do something if poo poo gets bad enough.

I got my entre into the computer toucher world by getting a data entry job with Fisher Scientific and using their resources to self-train in Oracle poo poo

Also basically lying non-stop about my capabilities and learning on the fly

If you're not a Top 100 BS CS dork, absolutely learn to dress well and look nice at work and at interviews because that will handle 90% of the work for you. This forum is full of people who poo poo on wearing nice shoes and getting nice clothes but the class barrier is 8/10ths of getting into a good job and if you dress well and seem confident you'll get all sorts of jobs you aren't qualified for.

Yeah I did a few years of the grooming stuff, I could do it again

Then again, I'd rather work on something I'm passionate about

Perhaps touching computers....to analyze data....that shows the benefits of doomscrolling

i basically gently caress off 36 out of 40 hours in a week, do a little bit of work, and I'm lauded as a genius who does a fantastic job keeping poo poo in order and I keep getting promoted over and over despite spending my time playing video games and posting on this forum.

My brother got scalped from his insurance company job to a consultancy maintaining the software his insurance company job uses at 150% of what he was being paid before, for basically doing nothing new or different. he's getting paid over $100K to work in the loving Scranton suburbs where that money makes him a king.

pivoting away from writing code is the best thing. just being able to present yourself as someone who can understand why writing code sucks and the pitfalls with regards to estimating work, regressions, etc. is worth a lot to people

you'll probably make 25-40% less than devs but you do 95% less work which ends up being things you can still take credit for. bing bong so simple

you might also be engaging in the pastime of one guy I used to see at the library all the time, and that's masturbating to yahoo newsgroups about adult diaper lovers while using a special security shield over the monitor so you can only see what he's masturbating to in the public library if you're directly behind him or as it turns out within forty five degrees of eyeline
