CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY: "i didn't go to the doctor, i had food poisoning and was making GBS threads and vomiting for a day or two" OR have your SO forge a doctor's note, which is definitely a firing offense BONUS ROUND: using gimp instead of just printing some nonsense for some reason

I used a medical document from our past, unfortunately it is from a different state, so forwarded email explains the labs faxed it to us and I scanned it to pdf. Totally normal thing to happen. The altered file has been scanned and faxed before being printed to capture that authentic artifact degredation. It helps mask the font differences in the dates. Timelines have been made consistent with the present day. Headers and footers preserved. All references to age redacted by sharpy, printout will be waved in front of manager face then returned due to HIPPA concerns. This may be my magnum opus for crafting makework props used for kabuki theater. I still got it baby~ Edit: Got call, interview went great. Let them scrutinize like crazy people, I have already out crazied them with the quality and care placed into this transparent lie.

the railway thing is cuz the first os was made by the mit model train club and a ridiculous number of the old timey concurrency poo poo (that of course gets used all the fuckin time incl in new dev) assumes hard you have at least some model train background. certainly dijkstra did iirc. semaphores are old timey train traffic lights (or ordinary traffic lights in romance languages). they used to have literal locks and keys to deal with gettin trains to not crash into each other, etc

bob dobbs is dead posted:that barely matters I think you are confusing a doctor's note to mean an actual message and letter stating the patient must be on light work for fear of permanent damages signed ~doctor~. Employers have no need for that, what they're asking for is proof of physical presence at a place explaining why the human component was outside their cube. So, I just got a lab draw form to fabricate a visit and that's like barely fraud in this world of Apes and NDAs.

lol at the idea of demanding a doctors note from an employee "give me a doctors note" "no" "well youll be written up" "sounds like discrimination to me" Its not (by itself, most likely), but they'll either escalate (a major fuckup) or they'll STFU (the correct choice)

lmao you can't figure out how to write down the qualities you're looking for. jesus fuckin christ this is sad A: takes constructive feedback well, asks followup questions to better understand conceptual foundation for feedback, improves design based on the spirit (not necessarily letter) of feedback. eg if feedback is in re: increasing testability, candidate's future functions demonstrate testable patterns, not just the single function to which feedback directly was given B: incorportates feedback into iterative design when pointed out C: argues with interviewer about requested changes D/F: questions interviewer's credentials/intelligence

if you can't write down the behaviors that someone you want to work with displays, how they should be able to answer behavioral questions, etc. then maybe you're just trying to launder your bias

CarForumPoster posted:lol at the idea of demanding a doctors note from an employee I know right. It was outside the realm of possibility in my mind they wanted this. Wife came back and showed me the message. Dude foreal wanted a signed doctor's instruction explaining "why you have to stay home the rest of the day" and lmao rofl. bob dobbs is dead posted:do not document your felonies if you do them. especially do not document the fact that they are interstate. No, I'm not going that far. I thought it was just proof of visit. Now that it has been clarified that they want the HOT DOCUMENTS I just told her that it is "Psychotic poo poo to demand, push back". Like how in our medical system is that even possible to produce authentically!?!? We don't even have a doctor assigned to us yet and it's been like 6 months since she got this bullshit job with it's insurance, no wonder everyone else in her cohort quit already.

i annoyed the poo poo out of dweck by continuously noting that all her growth mindset experiments could just as easily be explained by noting that the application of power degrades learning. the toddler gift experiments, the 2012 study, nearly all of it. certainly explains the frequent failure of the interventions cuz they themselves are an expression of power...
