I've been put forward for a good job and I'm hoping they'll interview me, but it's a similar job to one I failed the interview for in a different city, so I know what went wrong last time: The reason that they gave was that I have no experience talking to clients, but also there was a brief quiz about SQL that I was completely unprepared for. So for this new interview I'm studying my rear end off trying to remember all the SQL I learned in university and never got a chance to use (as uni was 10 years ago I've totally forgotten most of it). I just hope I do better this time. I'll also make the point that I have spoken to C-level executives before, although only in a tech-support setting, via the VIP callers. Hopefully that'll count for something. How can I get experience talking to clients when no one will give me experience talking to clients after all?

I have 6 years of experience but purely tech support. This will branch out into a more high-paying version, where I'd be doing more complex fixes via email communication. As it is though my university education has been left to rot in the back of my mind due to never having the chance to apply it, so this could change that.

Honestly good customer service and troubleshooting (displayed by your tech support) should count for more than beep boop SQL anyway. You can pick up the drat SQL.

If I do get the interview and they want me to do one of those quizzes again I'll ask if I can do what would really be done in the situation and use my notes on syntax, or whether they want it closed book. IRL you'll never work closed book though so all it's really proving is how good your memory is. If it goes well it would mean a gently caress ton of money. At least compared to my current wage.

Both times it made her so dizzy and lightheaded that she had to stop taking it. Turns out her blood pressure is fine. We bought a $70 home blood pressure thing and proved it. She just has "white coat syndrome" and gets nervous around doctors.

My first HDTV I ever bought in 2007 finally broke. It's 720p and plasma display so it's heavy as gently caress, like 50 pounds. Kind of sucks because I remember paying $1200 for it but now I get to buy a 4k tv. I'll probably get one of those budget Amazon TVs that spy on you with the alexa crap.

My current job is fine. The pay is lower than average, the work is largely manageable and I really like my coworkers. My boss trusts me, leaves me alone to work and gives me as much life-flexability as I need. I've had a lot of terrible stuff happen to me this year and he's been extremely cool about taking off any time I need. BUT There is no real path for me here. The vast majority of people are engineers and scientists and all the better jobs are for them. I'm basically an office manager/IT person that does all the stuff they can't or don't want to do. There is another job that would nearly double my income in less than three years but the place doesn't have a stellar reputation. However, they would let me work from home nearly 100% of the time. Do I leave a place that really supports me but pays me less than I deserve or risk a bad culture for a lot more money? BRB gonna throw up.

Co-workers keep bringing their kids to the office. Some of them are nice, some of them are brats... and all of them are loud. This isn't a day-care!!

The temps at work have had their training cancelled, meaning Wednesdays are no longer understaffed. The reason is hilarious. The guy that does the training has himself been fired (we're in the middle of layoffs).

I tested it, and I constantly have high blood pressure, even out of the doctor's office. I'm actually pretty sure the real reason for it is my chronic pain. Not much I can do when pain means my blood pressure goes up. Maybe different medication will work. I'll need to call her and see what she can do.

I bought some boneless skinless chicken breasts from the store (well, store delivery, it's too hot out to walk to the nearest store) and for some reason the delivery guy (or the guy who sold it to the delivery guy) decided to roll a bunch of them together. I don't care about how it is delivered, really, but even after dethawing the chunk for 20/30 minutes, the inside core of this chicken breast roll is frozen enough that I can't just peel off two to cook. Like, there's a layer of thawed chicken, but it's still stuck/frozen to the underneath layer. I'm half considering just throwing it away and going to the store and buying another bunch that are less... I dunno interconnected. MisterBibs has a new favorite as of 23:15 on Aug 22, 2019 |

That candy wall really is a prime example of "you can only consume so much." Yeah a candy dispenser sounds like a great idea and being able to have whatever candy you want whenever you want is great but like...why? Candy isn't exactly expensive and one person can only eat so much of it anyway. That much sugar in one place is guaran-loving-teed to start attracting bugs and critters so it'll definitely be more trouble than its worth. Not only does being rich not magically make you happy but doing poo poo like that is actually a net negative.

You cannot be in three places at once. Overemployment will *lead* to unemployment by burning you the gently caress out and leaving you barely able to do one job, nevermind 3.

The new scrubs my company provides don't have pockets, most of the remaining old stock are missing drawstrings and made for Urkle like wear. I occasionally have to work up a sweat for up to 3 hours or so doing somewhat rad related construction. But it pays pretty good, is union, steady, and has occasional non mandatory overtime opportunities.

I stubbed my toe yesterday, walking around my apartment in the dark. Normally that wouldn't be so bad, but I've got a bunch of dry skin on my toes, and the stubbing sheared off a layer of that. Not even close to an actual injury or wound, but enough that it hurts.

No fuckin poo poo, hence why I need to drop at least one job. The hard part is deciding which, since they all have different pros/cons. I think I've decided which one I should quit; I'm just a big goony baby and don't want to disappoint anybody (more than I already do  )
