So as we were heading out to the parking lot after the service tonight we saw our car get driven into from the side by a minivan. One of the doors is gonna need to be replaced maybe
Merry fucking christmas to us, I guess.
I’ve been kicked in the head twice, beaten with a chest monitor once, bled and pissed on, and punched in the jaw all within the past 5 hours.
So how’s everyone ELSE handling their Christmas?
Christ, what the fuck happened to you?
I work in a hospital as a Patient Care Tech. It comes with the territory.
Oh. I thought you got mugged, or something. Good to know, sorry it happened
No a mugging would have been BETTER. Here, you can’t defend yourself. If you’re mugged, you can at least fight back.
Enh to compare my fucking holiday can’t be so bad. I finally got to the fucking point where I decided to clear the fucking air about the shit going on for the past 3 months… yeah, good fucking idea, me… good fucking idea. I fucking hate this, need an out. Now.
Merry-fucking-christmas y’all.
Note: I’m not looking for advice. I just need to vent and I REALLY don’t want to do it on a confidant.
So I have a phone interview with Google in a bit over a week which is fucking great, but the recruiter sends me this study guide to prep for the phone interview (note, this isn’t even the onsite):
I am shitting my pants right now. The amount of stuff they want me to be prepeed for is fucking terrifying, Feeling like I have no hope at getting this job. God I hate job hunting.
God damn, I hate Big-O.
But uh, I’m not really a “systems engineer” type, so, that aside, Good luck.
Oh geez, all those requirements for Operating Systems, listing thing after thing, I wish you good luck!
I think you mean “Big-Oh-No”
Thanks guys.
I’m actually really solid on Big-O. My university has a very theoretical/conceptual approach so I can handle discrete math, algorithms, time/space complexity pretty well. It’s the specifics, like Operating Systems, that make me shit myself.
I’m fucking terrified of becoming a soulless code monkey after I graduate. And I think most of the people in the field I’m going into-Silicon Valley Software Engineers-are raging twats.
Like look at this guy:
That’s a face only a mother could not punch. And don’t get me started about hackathons,“hacking” and startup culture. It’s so fucking nauseatingly arrogant and self-important.
And the window dressing equality shit drives me insane too. My university’s college of engineering is trying to bribe me and my engineering club along with some other clubs we work with out of the 3D printing makerspace we built up so they can take the room and turn it into an “office of diversity” or some shit. I’m pretty sure a student run makerspace with literally no gates to entry (open door, no membership, no fee, just walk in and say “Hey, can you show me how to 3D print shit?”) does a lot more for underserved minorities in engineering than an “office of diversity” that’ll do what? Host kumbaya circles or something?
An “office of diversity”? What the hell will that accomplish?
And yeah, people with smug faces like that piss me off to no end.
One of the things that bugs me in real life is slow people–people that block the entire aisle at the supermarket and take their sweet time moving; people that get into movie theaters during the movie; then take several minutes to get situated (standing up the entire time), before sitting down; and so on.
Now that I’m responsible for some kind of project managing and I’m relying on outside help through the use of email and need their responses before I can continue my end, this has now become a new pet peeve: People not responding in due time!
I send out a communication, seeking responses so I can continue the next stage of planning, then I don’t hear from anyone, or, if I do, it’s vague or doesn’t actually answer the questions so I have to respond and then wait AGAIN.
Why can’t I just get timely responses from people?! ARGH!
Holy shit the worst is slow people on the sidewalk. In my college town whenever you go out there’s always some group of cutesy sorority girls taking their sweet ass time walking with a whole row of them side by side so as to create a blockade. It’s the worst. Sure, go ahead and walk slow if you feel like it, but give people some space to pass you. The asian tourists are really bad too, ambling along with their selfie sticks and stopping every five feet to take a picture.
Welp, something’s wrong with my PC, and I think it might be a dead video card.
It’s been having trouble booting up since I installed the new video card around Black Friday. Occasionally, it will just sit at a black screen after being booted, not going anywhere. It won’t boot until I completely cut its power by switching the power supply off and on again. If I try to put it to sleep, it’s a complete fiasco, and it has to be hard powered off because it won’t wake up. Today I left it on and unattended while I went to the gym, and it’s set to never go to sleep on its own, but when I got back, it was down with no video and would not come alive again.
The problem is, the video card isn’t the only thing that changed around that time. I also upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10, and I redid some of the cabling in my case, as well.
For the moment, I’ve got the video card pulled out, and I’m using the onboard video. If the problem goes away, I have to assume the video card’s a dud, and I’ll have to RMA it.
If that ends up being the case, then I’ll be driving my ROG Swift with onboard video for at least a few weeks. I could cry.
That sounds like a hassle geek, I hate hardware issues. Software I don’t mind because I can deal with it just with a couple hours of Google Fu.
So I went on a lunch date with a girl right before Christmas Break (think I complained about having to wait all break earlier in this thread). I thought it went really well and after she said she wanted to hang out again once we get back from break. Text her inviting her to lunch this weekend. Get a really really vague excuse. Suggest another day. Get another vague excuse. Really frustrated, don’t know where things went wrong. Welp. Back to the drawing board.
Sounds like crap. don’t bother with her.
In fact I’ve never chased people just do your own thing and carry on living life, the worthwhile people will turn up.
Water mane break where I live. No water, BUT we have power. We’re doing the medieval type of getting water: Melting it from snow via a stove. It’s fun.

Spent the past hour fixing my fucking internet browser. Just resorted to reinstalling the fuckin’ thing (firefox - no I don’t want to use chrome). It works now at least… it wouldn’t load pages before.
