So after six months at newjob I finally cleaned out my cube of all the cruft the old guy left behind.
12 laptops, about 40 HDDs, boxes of useless old laptop RAM, process docs from five years ago, spindles of CD-RWs
At my job at MEGACORP we got shuffled around so often I got used to taking a space as-is and not bothering to personalize any of it. I don't have any like, pictures to put up or anything.
ex tells me i should just apply to stanford and MIT for b school and see what happens
i don't even know why i would go to b school or what i'd get from it
but i'm taking the gmat in 3 weeks apparently tho i haven't studied
careers are dumb and i don't know
take it from a guy who never finished a 2-year degree because obv my advice is best but my understanding is never go back to school without a plan
in 28 years of my life i have never been able to think further than 2 months ahead in my life
this is why i have gotten nowhere in life
You haven't gotten "nowhere" in life. You're doing p alright near as I can tell. But, yeah spending $100k and losing two years of work monies is p silly without a plan.

One time I was getting ready to go to class and really needed a confidence boost so I was doing razer sharp winged eyeliner and my reddest lipstick and Pinecone was like "I don't think anyone will mind if you're not wearing makeup??" And I was like "Pinecone this is not makeup this is my WAR FACE" and the look on his face was p priceless
I feel like that's the purpose of heels as well

It's smokey in the warehouse, but the forklift is off and stinks, it's not kicking out any more plums of smoke. I think we need to have our smoke detectors replaced because we have all the doors open, and didn't set off a single one.

People in the Amherst alumni network are asking about business school/whether/when to go all the time, and I remember some of the consensus answers.
1. Don't just go for no reason
2. Business school is more about the networking than about the classes or the title. Make sure the program you apply to has connections to the industries you care about.
3. Ask the people in the position you are aspiring to whether their job requires an MBA. If not, don't go.

All of what you said may be true.
But when my wife put that much effort into her appearance and I said something like, "I really don't care if you wear makeup or not" I got in big trouble. She wanted comments on how well she had done for the effort she had put in to look nice.

you don't typically have 2 PCIe slots, and, if you do, you don't usually have 2 that can support graphic card bandwidths
sometimes you do, sometimes you don't, it's usually something someone specifically targets in a build and doesn't happen on accident, so I was worried he might have FUBARed the card that way.

yep
i've heard all these things, i know
the hard part for me has been figuring out the industries i care about and position i aspire to
being rudderless for so long has not been great
and also the dread of / sunk cost fallacy of doing new things the further i get from college even tho ostensibly i am only ~12.5% into my my working life makes the decision making process harder
My thoughts on grad school is make sure you go for something either tied to moving up the ladder making the cost worth it or something you actually like and care about a lot.
I did the latter. And the two years of grad school were amazing for developing skills, building friendships, and learning about stuff I am interested in. Also gave me the pass to get a job in that field basically. Before that I would of had a lot of issues.
For MBA though the networking is more important than the degree. MBAs are super common and more generalized than MA/MS in specific areas of study.

these thoughts are not mutually exclusive.
when someone changes slots though...
you don't typically have 2 PCIe slots, and, if you do, you don't usually have 2 that can support graphic card bandwidths
sometimes you do, sometimes you don't, it's usually something someone specifically targets in a build and doesn't happen on accident, so I was worried he might have FUBARed the card that way.
or the black marks are from an arc because the card was loose and it finally came loose enough to arc electric this time

Yeah it's old. But PCI-E. It's a gtx 560.
I did get a sign of life out of it after removing some things and putting them back into place.
But then my whole system failed. So I'm guessing years of use has lead to enough lose connections that problems have shown up.
I haven't built a computer since this thing was new. Really don't want to be messing about in the guts.
I don't feel bad about that at all
