Good luck, Ketaru. Hoping and praying it all works out for you.

Ugh, end of the business day and still no answer. Guess it's been put off for yet another weekend.

Damn, that blows...

Hope it all works out. I've been looking for work for over a year now and just finally had an interview yesterday. Now I just have to wait until next week to find out if I get called back for a 2nd interview :/

Good luck with the job.

Even if it's bad news, don't give up; I was rejected for my current job, but they hired me as a contractor a few months later, then made me an employee a few more months later.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Thanks all for saying so. I just thought I'd have an answer by now. Usually, I feel I'm Ok. But the last 2 days, I find myself sometimes thinking along the lines of:

"Yes! I made a mistake and it was a miserable display of incompetence. I'm not cut out to be a supervisor because I did not stand up to my staff when I knew what the right decision was. All I wanted was to do some good in this world and I failed spectacularly. Good God, I don't even believe in God! So who am I thinking these thoughts to?! Whoever it is, just please don't get me fired."

Other times I'll think to my father who passed away and one thing he would always tell me was to, no matter what, just be a good person. Never cheat others or steal or any of that staff so that, at the end of the day, I can look in the mirror and say that even if things don't go the way I want, I did everything the way I was supposed to. I'm sorry to say I fell short of that mark.

Have been enjoying working 40 hour weeks since the massive layoffs at work. Now they're bringing in someone else to work part-time in my department. This would be nice, except for the fact that I'm not technically full time, and the budget only allows for 80 hours in a week between the other guy who IS full time, and myself. The end result is me being cut down to 25 hours per week.

Time to find a new job.

We all slip up from time to time. It's how you handle it IMO that really shows strength of character.

It's easy to talk about morals and principals, it's another thing entirely to act on them.

There's a rattle in one of my case fans. It's not enough to be a performance concern, but it is enough that it's driving me fucking insane.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Related, I bought an external fan/heat sink unit for my laptop and sometimes I have to smack it something fierce (it's plastic) because it is ridiculously loud for no apparent reason. Usually happens right after I've re-plugged it in, but sometimes it will just decide, "Hey, I'm just going to be loud and obnoxious! You weren't watching that, were you?" It keeps the laptop cool, but if I purchase another fan unit, it will not be this brand. When it runs quietly 95% of the time, there's no reason for it to go into fucking-annoyance-mode.

Rattling is usually caused by something loose or a dead bug. Might be worth checking it.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I've opened it up and looked plenty of times to look, but I can't figure out what's causing it, so I'm thinking it might just be normal wear and tear finally unbalancing it enough to the point where it's just rattling against itself.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I have two fans in a push/pull config that are different brands. I'm pretty sure the one on the pull side is causing the fan on the push side to malfunction.

Unrelated:
These computers at work are terrible. It's 9:12. I got here at 8:56. It just got done booting at 9:09, then took an extra 2 minutes just to open the internet.

More unrelated:
I hate coming in to work on Mondays, mostly because I've spent my weekend pretty much quietly and by myself, with the exception of the time spent with my boyfriend, who is someone I choose to spend time with, someone I enjoy spending time with. Returning to work is forced social interaction, and there are some days when I just don't want social interaction. Driving in today, I was dreading all the innocuous small talk I'm going to have to endure, and listening to my one coworker bitch about her boyfriend (who didn't propose on Friday, in news no one is all that fucking surprised about) and the other one bitch about how half of the stations are closed because it's President's Day. And I just want to sit here quietly in a soundproof box and tune it all out. :/
