Been doing landscaping work for the landlord. A gentlemans agreement sort of thing, at £6 an hour, but I do some whenever I feel and it won't run out any time soon. Plus his wife seems to turn up with a cup of tea wherever I am, so that's nice

portapotties are the worst
Iraqi portapotties are the worst of the worst, then. (Not just portapotties that happen to be in Iraq. The ones on Iraqi bases. With the spots for your feet so you can squat.) But there are worse places to pee.

Nice, performance reviews have always been either indifferent or awkward for me. Glad it went well.
In other news, my old job posted a job opening for my old job. And everyone in the office except the managers have been messaging me asking me to apply. But if you look a few pages back in this thread you see that I got another job! So now I am in the unique position of being able to troll the hell out of my old job, and hopefully ask for a ton more $$$ even though I wont take it. I just want to waste their time like how they wasted my time. But in a "dont burn bridges and get some free lunches" kind of way.

No word back since my poorly written email asking for at least 30 hours and some kind if guarantee of future full time status. Oh well.
Really I'm just upset that I sat through an interview and worked behind their counter for 45mins before I ever found out it was a part time position. I feel a bit led on and I'm not sure they realize that they did so.
Back to the airport grind tomorrow. Least I still have a job, can't complain as much as I'd like to.
Had a late night, early morning, and long day. Get off work at 1, ready to get some sleep. Walk outside, this guy starts yelling for me "you got jumper cables" no I dont. "you know a tow service?" not off hand but let me get my phone. "oh right" pulls out his smart phone and searches. While I do the same on mine. Tow truck will be here in forty five minutes. His "baby momma"(his words) is in his car and shes pregnant, its below 30 outside. Even if my job didnt require I let them in I would have because I'm a human being. But damn it, more I'm awkwardly here with these people I dont know for up to another hour. I offered to drive them but they live a half hour in the opposite direction of my place.
And ugh. I have to close on thanksgiving because its a thursday, even though there are no new movie on the day after, so I miss out on holiday pay, and have to work 3am until noon at the game store. Whoooooo
So our data center has power again but for some reason only half our servers came back on. Trying to get them to fix this resulted in most of those going back down, and they won't let us into the building to fix it because while the servers have power, the lights and elevator do not. Fuck.
when i came into work this morning our internet was fucked and half the people went home and half the people worked here on mifis, and then the internet came back on at like 1230, but the office has been pretty empty all day

Freelance work has dried up and now I want to start looking for work in a new, sort-of related field. Judging by the job descriptions I am qualified for the roles, but I lack any sort of actual professional experience in the field.
My background is in graphic design and web-development, which I've been doing part-time as a freelancer or as an unpaid intern for the last year. The rest of my time is spent helping manage a cafe. Some of these jobs I've found are more like IT/Web admin roles and the pay is pretty good for a junior.
So how would I tailor my resume? Every job I've ever worked was through a referral, so I don't even have one yet. Should I put the freelance work and internships first and leave out the rest of the my working history? I'm not too sure about my education either, do I put down my time spent doing a Bachelors degree (three years ago) that I deferred indefinitely? They're never required and I have two other tertiary educations that are related to my field, but they're not bachelors degrees and I know some people are snobs about that.
I guess I need to give them examples of where I've done what they're asking for in my other jobs?

Except instead of dangerous religious artifacts, it's alien dicks.
I wear a gas mask to work. Not because of any fumes, but because I think it's sexy.
Those things suck. If you mail it to me, I'll throw it away for you.

This next week is going to be funnnnnnnn.

Shush.
Had some good moments this morning, but now I can already feel my energy disappearing.
I'm going to try very hard to keep this good mood going today.
So I sent that shit off with a quickness.
Good luck!
I point out a few items that were incorrect and hand it back after lunch
He sends it back out to the team and the new Jr Dev pipes up and asks why he wasn't consulted to review it first.
"We had a Senior Developer review it... well, somebody just as good."
That's going on the resume. "Just as good as a Senior Developer. Kind of."
sort of like how my title is Senior Software Engineer
unless one of the leads is trying to be a douche and refers to me as QA.
Of course, research and development is me plus one other guy. But still. I'm his boss!
I thought your job title was Teemown
"Hey, uh, do you think you could not put that on official press releases?"
"But..it's on my business card and in my email signature. That means it's for keeps."
"...we'll get back to you."
Quick, flirt with them. It's a signal.
