 I got a call back literally 5 minutes later. Proof that if you play enough first person shooters, you are definitely Ranger-grade material.

I was gonna say that it takes a certain kind of person to excel at factorio, but apparently that's not you OP. I mean the best coder I know has been playing the poo poo out of that game for many months. edit: I've never played it, it looks more like a job than a game to me.

The problem with not having a job is when you've been out of work so long no ones give you a chance. It's not like I don't want a job its that as every day goes by I just get worse and worse at actualizing the skills needed to find and keep a job, but this doesn't get me down because hey, once life turns around. It really turns around.

I think I'm in the middle of re-hauling my power grid on my current save now that I have accumulators and solar power, which is why I've been dreading going back. It very much does feel more like a job than a game.

It really turns around. it's not about skills you nimrod, everyone in the workplace is borderline sober and competent at best. a gap in your employment history shows that you might not put up with the worst shittinesses from your bosses without walking. have you considered lying on your cv e: on second thought it could also mean you've been in prison so make sure you write "i have not been in prison" somewhere on the resume too

Factorio is real good and I am looking forward to the new rail path implements to make it out of beta and into the steam mainline. I also do Railway Oriented Programming so I look forward to stealing your job OP

I'm currently in a place where I need to get my body in order and try to understand my condition. I don't know how long I'll be able to walk much less excercise so I can look presentable in public again, but drat it if I won't try. The last few times I went out there I put in a five hour run and a three hour run. I drat near killed myself the last time but it did show that I most probably do have MS. The heat really exacerbates the condition. Kang Wang fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Aug 17, 2016 |

I have six degrees and haven't had a job in forever. Currently working on my seventh degree. The last time I got a job, it was by saying I liked The Plague because it was about doing your best even when there was no loving point at all and you're going to die and never be given a chance and gently caress this earth. The time before that, I got a job by walking into the building and saying "I would like a job", to which they responded "The last time we gave you a job, you left us on bad terms" and I said "Yeah" and they said "ok, well come back on [date] and we'll give you the paperwork to fill out"

People will notice if you really care and people will thank you in kind.

fwiw i quit my job to look after a kid but my cv is going to be a hoary load of bollocks about starting a business and studying this that and the other it'll only be tangentially true but they'll buy it because hr people are as stupid and bored as everyone else and no one really gives a poo poo as long as you tick the right boxes and don't obviously belong to a non-protected minority

Yeah nah I busted my rear end off and got thanked personally on a weekly basis by management/administration and they actually went out of their way to cut me out of the loop on managerial training that I had signed up for, three times not calling me after I had put my name down on the sheet. The also hosed me around and wouldn't let me use the women's locker room or (at first) leave my coat with the front desk, until I started walking to work through blizzards with just my work clothes and they thought I might die and they might get bad publicity or something. But I mean, that was a terrible company by all accounts, so it's not like my experience was special or anything, at least not in the broad sense.
