My headcannon is more like, Director stops by and wants to know why Heather is looking at mustard bottles again, she has been warned about this, you see. She suddenly jumps and says “Oh, it uh, I was just working and then this happened.” Well that’s not fair is it? It’s not like she was intentionally looking at mustard again

And that’s the thing about IT, we save people’s jobs. Even freaks. Blame us, Heather, our shoulders are broad.

That would be the um, joke

No NDA on earth prohibits giving a vague idea of what the duties and industry were. You may not be able to say the specific projects you worked on, or maybe even the name of the employer under extreme circumstances, but that would be like MI5 level rare, and those folks aren’t out applying for the jobs you are.

The real trick is having an LLC so you can just point to that and say you were consulting or self-employed during that time. Or have a friend with one.

My SO and I have $130k between us and if we get the IBR figured out, it might bring our total payment down to about $1200/mo which is not something we can afford. I’ve been laid off since Christmas and just started a job, so we’re $20k in the hole and haven’t been able to pay anything. Now I see my credit is taking hits. That hurts but again, no money. Oh well what’s 7 years.

These people watched Disney dragging their IP in and out of “the vaults” like clockwork every dozen years and took notes.

You have to go underground… weather underground… * theme song plays*

The manual labor willingness drops off in the 40s as people’s health begin to deteriorates people who work in manufacturing tend to drink and smoke and be arthritic with failing discs and knees by 55. White collar jobs have a big advantage with aging, which is why your average age in a factory skews young.

Yep say something controversial but broadly acceptable, downvote yourself to look attacked, then come back in a few minutes and upvote your command and you’re now the top child comment under a post. Stealthy but effective.

The first mainframe account I ever had was an nCube2 supercomputer. No timesharing or anything, the full power of a Unix system just waiting under your terminal session. Today I have the same CLI under the hood of my MBP because it runs on a Unix kernel. In terms of power tho, this laptop makes the supercomputer look like a toy. I wouldn’t call either one’s use case “very basic things.”

Yes and realistically the Hornets were because the teal/purple combo went super hard in the 90s especially in the form of outerwear.

I’ve seen people discreetly vape weed while walking between concourses in airports, and I’ve done it, and so what. Not around crowds. Bathrooms tho yes, into the exhaust fan. IDK how those of us with legit medical applications are supposed to medicate during travel days otherwise. And thank god for it. I used to have to take harsh anxiety meds instead.

I’m in Arkansas where crossover cases (into vaccinated adults) are occurring. Went to my doc this week and got tested, my immunity to Measles has waned. So I’m getting another MMR shot this week. Just know this is a possibility, if it’s been 25+ years since your MMR vaccine, maybe get your immunity tested.

That happened before bird flu was announced tho

One is for waterbikes, one is for Fancy Dress Bicycles Only

Red state. We can’t afford the extra 2 sides.

Well, that’s enough Lemmy for one day

Good for you. I am making exactly what I made in 2021 after having raises suspended, job hopping to a better job, being laid off, and then hired in the best stable job I can find in this wretched new economy.

We’re about to see wages go down after stagnating for years, often falling behind inflation. Look at tech where there are too many employees, new graduates. Supply and demand. People are going to have to notice.

I lived in a small town to everyone knew each other’s parents at least from a distance.

I can’t remember a single parent being attractive.

Nor do I remember the teachers being attractive, but several of them tapped student ass.
