Dr. Arbitrary posted:I wonder how long it'll be before movies and sitcoms become incomprehensible to average Americans. This is like how when I was a kid and only saw in Al Bundy his hate for his job, his wife, his kids and his life in general. Now I see a man who can support a family of four and a mortgage as a shoe salesman. As a boy, I was afraid I would end up like him. Now, I wonder if I even have what it takes

dogstile posted:Being a good salesman is pretty well paid work. I've got a friend who sells carpets, gets a 2% commission. What's cost of living like in the UK? Like, single adult, bare minimum, in the US is like $14k to $25k depending on whether you're in Walla Walla, Washington or Washington D.C.

Orcs and Ostriches posted:My biggest regret about living in a small city is that I can't do this. Every time I'm in a real urban area I get overwhelmed by close, cheap and awesome food and it's bliss. Last time I was in Manhattan I found a place called Prosperity Dumpling -- 10 for $2 When I left, I felt like I was leaving them behind. Ten cabbage/pork dumplings for two freaking dollars, my god The dumpling place in my city is like 12 for $7.

Congratulations, that's hilarious and awesome, but yeah, tipping your hand like that? That doesn't sound like a way of doing things where they necessarily stay done.

What are you guys doing, though? I find moderate strength training followed by a cool shower incredibly invigorating. Cardio? Intense training? Nope.

joe944 posted:Head of HR left the company with a rather venomous farewell email, and I feel rather proud of the fact that I was called out directly for making their jobs difficult after they attempted to not pay overtime for on-call hours, even though it was said completely out of context in an attempt to make me look stupid. I'm imaging something like: "...and joe944 just couldn't shut the hell up about us stealing his pay; very unprofessional, joe!"

Any tips for entry-level interviewing? I have no experience. Should I emphasize my ability to be punctual while also sober? I'm just at the stage of sending out resumes to generic Desktop Support and Technical Support positions.

Japanese Dating Sim posted:I don't really know how that term could possibly result in that image, but then again, Internet. I once image searched high rise apartment while striking out search terms until I didn't see anything but apartments on the first few pages. Ran out of results on page 52, which was only a partial page. Google tacked on a page 53 with three naked chicks just for good measure. I honestly wonder if they do that on purpose.

Judge Schnoopy posted:Sounds reasonable to me? Datacenters can see electricity and facility bills in the tens of thousands per month just for cooling. I don't think it's absurd to pay $1000 a year for 5 2U servers if they're covering electricity and cooling, and in fact that sounds like a pretty good deal. At what point is it cheaper to pay hobos to pedal stationary bikes connected to fans? Accretionist fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Dec 11, 2015 |

As an aside, if you're feeling down to the point where it's affecting your life, mention it to your doctor! There's a variety of potential physical causes which can be checked by blood work. I'm fairly biased on this point because cheap vitamin D3 supplements basically changed my life and holy god damned poo poo I wish I had that poo poo sorted sooner.
