Bottom post of the previous page:

i worked at a tim hortons (coffee/pastry place for non canadians) for a bit

I had a week left on my hiring probation (3 month period after hiring where you can be fired without warning or explanation) and was apparently doing really well, one of the older folks working there swore I lied when I said it was my first time and claimed I had to have worked at a tims before

showed up one day and the manager said "remember that probation? yeah sorry we're not keeping you"

a shame tbh I really enjoyed working there, though this was a while ago

You were calling Intigracy 'disturbed' for having road rage, I called you disturbed for being a stalker.

Wanting to kill people road rage yea.
and you always say that, it's your go-to insult for anything I do. Be more clear in your sentences in the future, it will better help you articulate your meaning in the world.
I like working with data. You use the same insults over and over and continue to be the grumpy dude on the forums. Shrug.

a desire to murder people, if kept in check by not being batshit insane, is pretty normal and occurs with relative frequency even in healthy humans
stalking people over internet slapfights isn't and doesn't

I don't stalk people over slapfights. I put their username into a search bar, press search, look at the number assigned to their computer by byond, look at that, that's about it.

That's stalking them because they slighted you.

You just don't think so because you're not a normal person.

Slighted me?
I usually just double check other admins notes and bans, I never have contact nor even know the people usually.
I'm not you inti, that's more of your expertise.

also sorry for ruining your thread shaps, wasn't just all me tho

It's okay niknak, forgiving people is a full time job for me

lol

All of my co-workers and I have been getting really excited about this paper: https://link.springer.com/article/10.10 ... 017-1299-z

Some beautiful madmen in China, while everyone else was busy asking "is it ethical to genetically modify human embryos" responded with a resounding "CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF US GENETICALLY MODIFYING HUMAN EMBRYOS"

They performed the first successful targeted genetic modification to fix a disease-causing mutation in a potentially viable human embryo via CRISPR/Cas9.

Spring break is going great so far, I'm spinning in my chair really fast a lot and getting paid money for it

>calling someone disturbed for doing a good job as an admin

How the fuck is googling an IP to see if it's a proxy or not and linking ckeys together based on the used ip's and ranges, stalking you fucking memes? WHat the fuck do you envision that NikNak was doing? Going into a cafe and through your garbage?

I know you're so retarded you need a sound track to remind you to breathe but could you just for once try to understand something before you run your mouth.

oops I thought it was NTR Hut

randomly doing that to random people just so he can get his jollies off isn't normal regardless of how much you try justifying it

What the fuck is your deal

niknak started with the insults famalam

I said it disturbed that you wanted to hit people with a car

I'm a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) at a retirement facility, I'm one of three male employees in the whole damn building, and of those three I'm the only one on day shift. twelve hour shifts, making me half of all available muscle in the building during hours where you're likely to need muscle.

I have my own personal overhead page, they call me 'Dr. Strong' which was an overhead code for additional muscle for a lift job before I got there, but now it just means me. example: Intercom. "Dr Strong to room 409 please, Dr Strong to room 409, thank you"
Roughly translated in CNA-speak mean I need to get my ass to 409 for either someone who has fallen in a location to cramped for a mechanical lift, or an Alzheimers patient is beating the hell out of someone and I need to come pacify the situation, like some orderly at a psyche hospital, which I'm not trained for, but I happen to be a natural at it.

I love my job, and hate my employers, overmanaged at every turn, and there's always five chiefs for every indian, too many people have so little actual job to do that they spend their time criticizing others for the job they've done while over-loaded and under-supported.

I often use my catchphrase "I wish 'I' had a job where I didn't have to actually do my job" when I've run into a supply issue, such as laundry not having any linen for me to use (Washclothes and bedsheets are the lifeblood of a retirement facility) or central supply failing to supply me with enough hand sanitizer, gloves, or briefs (Diapers, depends, pull-ups etc) to make it through a shift.

But despite the grueling labor of lifting old people from bed to chair to wheelchair to bed and whiping reer-ends twelve hours a day, it's not so bad, it's the first job I've ever had with a roof and walls at the same time, and I've yet to be splashed with molten metal so far. so life is good.

Also, I'm trying to make a master mold for a cast pewter chess set with the black pieces being a force tarnished copper/silver alloy as a side piece of revenue, once I got that done I'll be doing that on the side for aditional cash flow.

Oh yeah you're the guys that sign the release papers when I go to pick em up with a hearse.

Please never forget to cover them with a sheet. Not only does it make extraction easier on us, it prevents purge from reaching the floor and making it a mess to clean.

and thats capitalism baybee

Dunno what kind of jacked up places you're picking people up from, but where I'm at we have 'death care' so everyone is nice and clean, in a new outfit with a brief and rubber sheet to boot to avoid such messy eventualities. and also the cover sheet too. we don't send people out in a mess, You guys got enough to worry about.

I read this thread and feel bad because I live in a tiny town where my options range from retail work to fast food. And not even big retail. Literally petrol station or tescos.

Oh trust me, there's retirement homes that only care about the money. Kinda makes you glad when you pick up someone from those places, at least you know now they're having a proper rest.

You can get good money doing independent body pick ups for funeral homes, if you can handle it. At most you'll need to be able to lift 120 pounds or so, but it pays off well, and it gets your foot in the door if you want to get into the funeral business.

A software developer can work remotely, earn good salary and live cheaply outside of the city.

"Entry level" "Remote Work" "Good Salary (for entry level)" seems like one of those "you can pick any two, but not all three" statements.

Software developers specifically can get away with it because they're in high demand.

Lots of people with comp-sci or similar degrees try to do startups, or game dev, or whatever, and there weren't that many to begin with, so if you know how to program and are willing to do drudge work you can get away with a lot.

My brother studied comp sci and is experiencing the effect right now. I'd have done the same, but I love genetics too much.

Ye ye ye nah nah nah. That's no excuse to feel that you're not achieving anything with life.

Here's a shout: Instead of thinking that you're too high and mighty to work in a "tescos or a pub or a petrol station" how about you go there and you work and then you save money and then after you have some money saved up you move from whatever town you live in to a place with more career options.

There is very little excuse to say that "I don't have any money to move out because the only jobs I can get is a mininum wage (which I may add is like £7.20) job stacking shelves." You think moving towns is difficult and unattainable? Bruh I had to fucking move to a different country and I still managed it. I worked shitty jobs, my last job was literal fucking warehouse grunt work. You ever walked stupid amount of miles in steel toed boots? It's only bad for the first few weeks.

What you're doing is averting and procrastinating about your lack of options. You do have options, it's just those options are going to fucking HURT. There's no easy path in life unless you were born into a billionaire family. I get it, it's easy to complain and whinge, it's much harder to actually get up at 6 in the morning to get dressed in some shitty supermarkets uniform so you can do monotomous work whilst having a fake smile and in a constant fake "Always happy to help!". But that's life, and it's life for a lot of people. You have the ability to work that job for a little while and then move out and find better and more rewarding work. The people that have worked in that tescos or sainsburys for literal decades are not so lucky.

It's the same shit with college grads. Getting a BSc does not guarantee you shit nowadays. Heck, getting a masters doesn't and neither does getting a phD. They're all entry requirements, hard work and dedication gets you the job you want. I'm not under any illusion that as soon as I finish my phD that I'm going to get instantly accepted by a institute to do their research. The shit I'm researching, just like 99.9% of other projects, literally have zero real world application. The only people who are going to read it is my tutor and my auditor. Otherwise it's going to the theses pile in the library never to see the fucking light of day again. I just hope that I manage to get into an interview and actually show them how much I care for the work and how hard I'll work for it. That's what matters. Your education and degrees opens the door to the office, but that's it. It's not a fucking keycard to employment, it's a facilitator.

More studying for the CCNA

.....I think you're reading into his post a little much, m'dude.

What part of it says he's procrastinating? He could be doing the very thing you described, and be unhappy that it's necessary.

It looks to me like you've wanted to spew this rant for a long time and dumped it at the first event to which it was remotely applicable.

Nah I know what he's saying because I too was like that in my early years. I mean this is a problem endemic in a shit ton of places in the UK. The town I used to live in was basically the capital of that shit. It had a very large senior population and very little jobs other than the usual low skill coffee shops, supermarkets or pubs etc. I lived and worked around people like that, and as I've stated, I was one of them. I mean the rant may have been a long time coming but that's just the nature of the beast, especially since I'm speaking from the agency of an immigrant. I've basically had people tell me to my face that they can't afford to move to a different town and they have no money because there's no "good jobs". They say this and afterwards they go back to their house that they don't have to pay a single cent on rent and then waste money on stupid shit and rinse and repeat.

My old town's motto may as well have been:

"Why should I work in these shitty menial jobs when later in life I'm going to go work in a much better place?"

I grew out of it because there was a very, very surreal and quick wake up call that if I don't find a job, literally any job, I would actually not be able to afford food or even a house. Like I'm talking at one point I was eating purely peanut butter sandwiches because overall for around £2 it had like 4000 calories which lasted me a couple of days.

carry a jar of peanut butter in your bag, it's an entire day or mores worth of calories for the adult diet and can be easily transported in case of major quake/tsunami or general loss of societal control.

plus you can always make peanut butter sammies when bread is found

Yeah I still eat the shit out of peanut butter sandwiches. Shit is calorie packed, couple that with wholewheat bread and its like 600 calories every sandwich.

>I eat the shit
>Shit is calorie packed

t. ColonicAcid, the 16th of March, 2017

Slowly losing my god damned mind. Tired and worn out emotionally. I just need a long weekend. With a shift bid coming up i can't afford to call in sick either if i want to get a good shift

The rumours I heard about game dev were enough to make me keep it as a hobby only

yeah but that's a hobby so at least I can leave at any time r-r-right?

Had my first day working at Subway. Didn't even expect to be working today either. Filled out the background check stuff yesterday then got a call from the manager around 11:30 saying everything came back clean and asked if I'd be able to come in at 1 PM. Gonna take advantage of the fact that I don't have to pay rent or buy food and save up my first couple of paychecks for a laptop so I can 2D spessmen again.
