    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

    On the other hand I made a plan for how to spend ~5 years of my life and it fell apart in the final 2 months.

    So I'm not sure this whole planning-ahead thing is all that great.

    nah 99% of teachers are great and patient, but there's a 1% that's shitty

    earlier one called, he made sure to emphasize that he's a senior lecturer with two phds

    and then he did this pathetic helpless routine about signing into the new login for the first time, and said "I'd like to make an appointment for me and my wife to come in and have this all explained to us and set up for us"

    I told him he could just stop in the help desk and he said "how long are you there today?" and I said "we're open till 4:30" and he was like "no, how long are YOU there, and what is your first and last name please" and then he asked about my coworkers when I told him I was leaving at 12:30, and he's like "okay so we'll schedule the appointment for noon, with you" despite me repeating multiple times we don't do appointments and there's not really anything to set up

    he literally just has to log in and pick his timezone and shit

    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

    So you can enter a room with the commanding clock of your feet on the floor that reminds everyone that you're there to do battle

    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.

    I guess that kind of makes sense? if she was doing it like, 'for you' - but if she knew you didn't care about that, then it wasn't actually for you, I guess.


    I think there's a good medium to be had between doing yourself up for you and for another. Sometimes I wear thigh-highs even though they aren't really comfortable because I know Pinecone thinks they're super hot, but that's also because I really like the way I feel kind of powerful in that situation. He doesn't like lipstick kisses so isn't a big fan of me wearing lipstick (except for in a particular couple of ensembles), but if it goes with my outfit I'm putting it on anyway. *shrug*

    It's really person-specific I guess

    Shaz you doing grad school thinking?

    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.

    yeah

    i've been doing the thinking for 5 years now

    I'm also wondering if I should go get an MBA or an MA because not having a degree in Design seems like its making it hard to move around. I have a BA in history...which is apparently garbage?

    My husband does not like the look of makeup on me or on anyone, really.

    THANK GOD, cause I don't like wearing it. I look hot as is; don't need to paint my face just to signify that I buy into feminine beauty standards or whatever.

    I'm really curious as to why the crash occurred at the same point in the game. When it switched from the menu to actually load the game. What goes on behind the scenes at that point which would cause the system to stop detecting the video card?

    Seems a bit too coincidental for it to happen twice in a row at the same point.

    Seems a bit too coincidental for it to happen twice in a row at the same point.

    Your video card needed more power to load in art/graphics/assets and it drew from the PSU, which promptly caused it to arc on those bottom PCIe connectors and killed your video card since it was not promptly snug in the PCIe slot.

    yeah

    i've been doing the thinking for 5 years now

    Like I know you get a bit of shiftlessness feeling from your work and that you don't get a drive unless the people around you kind of drive you like your last job.

    Maybe sit with some of your really close friends and think out the things that really interest and drive you.

    Not the things others expect of you.

    And then poke around see if there is a program to study that stuff is out there that is more interesting than an MBA just because you think that will be what work and stuff will expect.
