i was in college and i met this girl through a friend of a friend. she was cute and we had a lot in common. we were super casual about it, nothing serious. we would see each other at the bar and chat it up a bit, but we never went home together or anything.
anyway this big music festival was coming up and it's the sort of thing where you camp out and drink your face off
and on the big night where the headliners were playing we were sitting in our little group area next to our tent and having a good time laughing and whatnot, and she showed up. we sort of both talked about how we had been looking for the other and were just hanging out having a good time.
at one point she grabbed me by the hand and led me up to the crowd watching whoever was performing, and i looked at her and we kissed. then her friend came up and said something in her ear, and she said to me she would be right back (i assume). I couldn't hear her because the music was so loud, but she kind of motioned for me to stay and that she would be right back.
and so i stood there, by myself, for the entire set, before i realized she wasn't coming back.
i never saw her again. she blocked me on facebook and aim, wouldn't answer my phonecalls. the friend of my friend didn't even know what happened.
I assumed this would end in some incredibly understated ghost pun because it was a gooey post
speaking of they just came by to tell me I missed my cert date for microsoft's 697+698 and I have until the end of the year to get it, but I don't get a bonus for it now, it's just required

I hate when you ask how someone's doing and they give you a real assessment on it. You feel trapped because you asked the question thus damning you to hear about how their mother in law hates olives and this restaurant said no olives...
You shouldn't have asked. I wish nobody would ever ask that again.
When its pay day, I like to go directly home because I have direct deposit. to the bank and deposit at the teller line, because my bank's branch near my office is really swanky. But they have a receptionist who will ask "how are you?" and it is the worst. I know where I'm going. We don't need to make this a small talk encounter.
All my banking is done online. I have to go to my bank, like, once every couple of years when I need to discuss mortgage/investments/credit/whatever.
Or when an elderly relative gives you a cheque
Mobile deposit.
I got a drawer full of reimbursement checks with dicks drawn on them to void the check.
That doesn't exist in Europe because old people are the only source of cheques. I see one every couple of years.
I see, my company does direct deposit, except for reimbursement checks, because payroll is partially automated, and they don't want Project Managers gaming the system so they make sure that all reimbursements are reviewed, hand cut and signed by accounting and a VP.
Mine gets approval from my boss, then accounting but they automate it through concur so I get direct deposit. They do it on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Well now you have to share that cinnamon roll with chat
Also the communism. Which Miéville book is that?
October. It's really enjoyable! I normally wouldn't read non-fiction, but he does tell it in a very story-like way, and the subject is of course of great interest.
This book is real good and I'm only halfway through the first chapter but so far there's close to enough parallels between the US today that you could almost swap out the names and have nearly the same actors.
I don't think there are many parallels between tsarist underdeveloped russia with 0 industrial base and a particular political history and modern day us. But it's a very good read and interesting topic.

Having taken the A+ recently I feel like it's actually a pretty good help desk cert
It has a garbage reputation, and it was pretty easy for me because I've been computering for a while, but if I saw someone was a fresh grad and was hiring for help desk I'd put an A+ candidate over a not A+ candidate for sure
It covers things like setting up e-mail on cell phones with interactive scenarios, or clearing the print queue when its stuck
Certs are a scam if you think they're going to change your life
Certs are worth it if you understand them as tiebreakers, proof-of-trainibility kind of things. A nice set of certs sets off a decent resume as less likely to be embellished. Where they've specifically been of use to me is fall back on to render my niche experience portable.
Also a cert ins't a cert isn't a cert. The OSCP is not a scam, for example, it's hard as fuck to get and definitely gets you interviewed
My current employer hangs everyone's certs up in the lobby and values them waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay above college

our field network engineers are direct hired by the head of MIT
It's why internal IT and our MIT help desk pays 30-40k in salary but all the MIT direct hires are minimum 70k (the lady that manages the MIT ticketing system makes that much, I could definitely do her job, granted if I wanted to work more than 40 hour weeks), because the partner that runs that knows what you're supposed to pay people to not have crazy turnover

Eh, if those 7 are doing 35 weeks a year travel then that works out to 2k a trip. Which is about what my expenses from most trips look like.
but camping with a cranky toddler is like trying to survive a zombie apocalypse with a bum leg
Counter point, exposing kids to new and challenging environments from the get-go will make them cooler and easier-to-get-along-with people
also, turning a toddler loose on nature or taking them for a walk in the woods leads to a toddler sleeping the whole way home, so
That last part is not my experience with my one and a half year old. I get tired, he gets energy. Like some kind of vampire.
I've never met a toddler that calmed down exploring nature.
At least not one that wasn't being dosed with benadryl already.
My friends that try to bring their kid just ends up being with a screaming <= 3 year old.
Once they actually have a personality and grow up, that seems to change. And if they enjoy camping and aren't being forced into it by their parents, you can tell.
