  1. You still have a job right? Sucks to hear, but little sympathy from someone who's going into month 7 of unemployment. Mini job search rant; The upside is I'm getting more interviews, either the talent pool is drying or there are more jobs in my field. The downside is driving all over the state for a 30 minute interviews and trying to do long distance phone interviews for the rest. I got a call yesterday before 9am and had a quick impromptu interview, but I was incredibly groggy since I'm not on a normal schedule. Didn't think to ask him to call back and ended up loosing out on the job. It was only a 2 month temp position, and it was for converting backlogs of 3D SolidWorks to 2D AutoCAD so it's not so bad that I missed the chance.
  2. I've put 25k on my car in 3 years. Living in a small town with a 2 mile commute doesn't add up very quickly, especially when the car doesn't get daily use. When you talk about a car sitting for a while and the engine seals going bad from drying out, that happens over years. A car sitting for two months won't blow its seals when you fire it up.
  3. Sucks man. At least it's only 3mm so it shouldn't take long, right?
  4. After rescheduling on me four times the confirmation came in for my phone interview, which included driving directions, parking instructions, and check in procedures. It's 5 hours 1-way. God damn it.
  5. I guess my 4 months of living at home are not that bad. Congrats on the job.
  6. Welcome back to the club. I graduated almost 3 months ago and still looking for a real job.
  7. I thought only women get excited about new shoes. Unless you're a lumberjack getting a new pair of logging boots, in which the sheer manliness offsets it.
  8. The Sharks may have been watching. Can't let up when there might be potential scouts and teammates around.
  9. I've been through a few cases already this season. And Blue Moon's Honey Moon.
  10. I had one of those classes for my final semester of mechanical engineering. 3/4 of the class failed. I went to see my professor, he let me redo a small portion of the final and it got me 3 points from passing the class. Two hours later he wanted me gone and gave me the D. I've never worked so hard for a D and been so happy to get it. Walked for graduation two days later (last month) and was notified my degree is officially audited and complete last week. Hell yes.
  11. No offense taken. I just don't get it. It's like my brother and me; we talk almost every day via IM despite living several hundred miles apart, but things like his house getting robbed didn't reach me until he told me even though my dad apparently knew 2 days prior from a facebook post. I'd rather be told, it gives me a reason to continue a normal conversation rather than communicate with far away friends via wall posts, snippet comments, twatting back and forth, etc. Congrats on making it through your first year. 3 more fairly similar years to come.
  12. Not to harp on you in particular, but I just don't see the need to IMMEDIATELY share with the world small personal details about ones life. Similar stories about people watching concerts they're attending through their phone so they're sure the video is being taken and uploaded to their Twitter link is just mind boggling to me. We can wait 6 hours, or even until the day after. Next time give your friends undivided attention and I'm sure you will have a much better time.
  13. Once I finally invested in a heat gun I never had a stubborn blade or plug again.
  14. You do it on your tummy with a rock?
  15. Graduated college Saturday, moved into my parents' house today. Hooray.
