Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

it's been nice having a weekend again though
and in five days, I get another weekend!
The contract I was working on officially ended yesterday, though we may spend a few more days on it under another contract
Past that though, either I'm going to be mostly drifting til a new similar job comes in, or I'm gonna be stuck on someone else's completely different project, and none of them really look as fun
My replacement starts full time in 4 weeks, but started today to help out a little part time
And my boss just told us this morning that they're also hiring another full time person before I leave
that's right, ladies
I'm worth two regular employees
And one of the other interviews has requested the same day.
But this weekend I worked with a consultant to fix a thing in our accounting system so it actually works better than it did before.
And last week I discovered a massively efficient way to update customer special pricing in our accounting system that used to take someone upwards of two weeks of solid work to update when we had price increases. Now all they have to do is give me a spreadsheet with the customer and the new price and I can have it all updated within a couple minutes.
I've also got a handful of new tools to play with for making our live accounting system faster and more responsive by moving all of our historical (everything over ~4 years old) to an archive database.
And eventually, if my boss does take the Operations Head position I can start working on getting rid of the inefficiencies in our warehousing and shipping operations.
services I recommend: tonx coffee *highly recommended* | everlane | dropbox
Any decent internship will pay you immediately. Unpaid internships are pretty much a scam. I don't care if there's some industries where that's expected, it's still a scam. We've got two programmer interns who are both paid.
Are a massive steaming pile of shit. First, they know that my new job at the transfer is Sunday. Hey, let's work Mets on Saturday. Because why the fuck not? Also, you're covering two shifts every one of your shifts. Also also, we're going to give you shit for showing up in a t-shirt. Even a company one. Well you're on the floor, it should be collared shirt and vest! What do you mean, 'scheduled you for nursery every other day this week, where a t-shirt is acceptable'. That's irrelevant. Also, enjoy this lovely parting gift of every frumpy senior citizen we could find in this town, beating just up to unconsciousness and brainwashed with ridiculous customer service demands. It's the only thing we could think to get you.
Congrats. Also, everyone has been ordered to bitch about you leaving.
Sincerely, the management.
If you weren't competent they wouldn't complain about you leaving.
Satans..... hints..... I'm a mo bro!
i know it, everybody in the office knows it.
is there some rule against job searching while still here?
You have to fight through some bad days, to earn the best days of your life.
I didn't get the job, which is the job I currently have on a fixed-term contract
someone with 5 more years' experience is being offered the job
I'll only get the job if he turns it down, and I'm not counting on that
guys, this job had been perfect for me, and I lost it because I have no experience with interviews of this type (with a panel and pre-prepared questions)
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Until this past month I haven't interviewed for anything for two years.
I still feel like it's obvious that I'm very green when it comes to having an "adult" job and that everyone can tell as soon as they shake my hand.
I also wish the sales reps would get more jobs for me to pick up and deliver because I really dont want my job to start looking redundant
But you'll find something awesome, because you're awesome!
I am like, 99% certain of it
fuckin' interviews
thanks
I intend to talk to my boss later this week to see what else there is, cuz fuck leaving mental health to find something else, man
fuck it, this is my goddamn bread and butter
So...Yeah. Excited about that.
use your training in mental health for evil and trick him into giving you the job
Make him think he has a serious mental health issue and then take his job
I have a job!
Admittedly, it's half time. But it's got good vision, medical and dental. Good job security. And I can call myself a scientist, which sounds good at parties.
What spring does with the cherry trees.
I love phone interviews! I was walking around my apartment in gym shorts and a t-shirt drinking beer during the one I had for my current job*
*Not recommended
I accidentally took a bong rip this morning before mine (didn't know it was happening)
What spring does with the cherry trees.
Also if you have gas it's not embarrassing
Unless you fart loud enough for them to hear it
Shit Viv
I had a panel interview for my current job
Of course I knew all of the people on the panel so it wasn't too bad
Still way more difficult than one on one
This!
Heh I knew all the people on the panel, too. I just botched up one of the more important questions because I hadn't had experience answering anything like it before.
