A Gaggle of Laptops.
In other news, the head of library sci at the university wants to talk. If nothing else maybe she can help me get some subbing jobs so I can start getting my name out in the schools. All the school districts in the state listen to her when it comes to libraries.
On re-reading the company furlough policy, turns out if we get laid off due to the shutdown we get severance, which for me'd be a little over a month's pay
There's that, I suppose, though it means I can't really job hunt until the start of November if we're still furloughed at that point
Hey, resume question, is it "software programmer" or "software engineer"? The latter's my official title but I've heard conflict

Oh christ
one of the managers at a store in my area gave a bunch of police officers a ton of free food cards so we will have police officers coming in often and will thus feel safer this holiday season
and then sent an email to the whole area and cc'd the regional vice president to brag about it
I have opinions about it and how stupid it is
Also, jesus christ people
If you are a general manager or above
Learn the difference between there/they're/their. You are an adult, at least pretend like you know basic grammar when you are sending official emails to everybody
No idea, but it's one of my favorite running gags in The Simpsons, always something obscuring what actual state it is. (I heard Ohio is the real one)

The construction worker grafitti in the portapotties have proven to be entertaining:
In one, with arrows pointing at the sanitizer and TP nook:
"FOR THE LOVE OF JEBUS, REFILL THESE"
In another, concerning cock talk:
"I call mine the throbing python of love"
"WTF is throbing? Do you mean throbbing?"
"He misspelt a word, BURN HIM."

I love constructive criticism graffiti.
Had some great ones on my ships in the Navy as well.
And some not so great...
Someone actually wiped their ass and then wrote "FTN" (for Fuck the Navy) with the used paper on the stall wall afterwards.
At least, I hope it was with paper...

It we were still in the nineties, I could make the joke that it's about twenty bucks USD.
Hey, resume question, is it "software programmer" or "software engineer"? The latter's my official title but I've heard conflict
Do you have an accredited engineering degree/ are you a member of the society for engineers (or whatever the US equivalent is. If they even have one.)
If no to both, you're not an engineer. But that said, call yourself what you like, nobody is going to make much differentiation.
Righto then, programmer it is
software engineer seemed a bit odd but it's been my job title for five years, so I thought I'd check
Thanks

I'm sure it couldn't hurt to specify "Job Title: Software Engineer" in that section.

I wonder if I should talk to the alumni association for my university about job placement. I've been out of school for 4 years, so it might be a bit awkward.

I've always put what my official title is. So if/when they call for reference, they ask about your position always matches what they ask.
Technically, my title is "Specialist" it just means I'm a non-union person getting paid the same as a union person.
But if you do change it, I'd suggest "Software Developer" as opposed to "Software Programmer". Sounds better to me. But "Software Engineer" is better than both of those.
Usually they use specialist to denote non-engineers because there are certain legal connotations to the word engineer in many states.
So, for example, if I call myself a process engineer I could get in deep shit unless I break down and get my Professional Engineer's license.
Yeeeep I have to be really careful when people abbreviate my position to PE
It's Project Engineer, not Professional, I do not have a stamp (yet)
I wish all I had to do to get it would be to pass the damn test. This whole "gather other PE references and write up a detailed work history" thing is just too much and really takes away my motivation to finish it off.
I know I'll pass the test just fine when I break down and do the rest of it but uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh.
And what makes it worse is when it overlaps the boss' shift change so they have to stand around and jack their jaws for 20 minutes while I'm hot and dirty and hungry and just want to get this shit done
My job title is software engineer and as far as I can tell that is par for the course here in Silicon Valley - as long as I applied only other tech companies I don't there would be any confusion.
Also I don't think you can be a certified "Software Engineer" the way you can be a Professional Engineer anyway.

Tell your team to use Excel to document their individual progress in Cookie Clicker.
Then, send daily reports of that progress to your supervisors, except replace the incriminating words with buzzwords like 'synergy' and 'paradigm.'
Your bosses will no doubt be impressed by your team when they SYNERGIZE 8,000 PARADIGMS per second.
BAM, you'll be CFO by next week

Shoot, I don't know Virginia that well. So somewhere around Fairfax maybe?
I am going to make so much money.
Alcohol is The Devil's Juice and Disco Gets You Pregnant.
Yeah, as a matter of fact I'm in southern Fairfax County: About 20 miles outside of Washington DC. The city itself is Springfield.
Has anyone ever figured out why there are so many towns and cities named Springfield out there? Last I heard there were more than there were states.

This was on the Sub Tender which, for all intents and purposes for the first couple of years, was essentially part of the pier.
As for the carrier, with a full compliment of ~5000 people, and various compartments, you can get away with a lot.

Punch it up with some buzzwords like 'turgid' and 'splendiferous' then we'll call it a day.

edit: oh, apparently texas and florida regulate it, but I'm not clear on the specifics
