OT: Name some things that drive you fucking nuts

Fans who take unnecessary shots at players who will likely not be with the team next season. Blame or cast your outrage at the GM.

Then being a Penguin fan of this current roster would be no fun.

My father in law has apparently been complaining that his kids do not call him often enough. So Mrs 43 calls him today, as she does EVERY Sunday only for him to say he didn't want to talk because he was too pissed off the Ravens lost.

On my commute home, within about 5 minutes of each other, TWO teslas tried to drive directly into the car beside them. Exact same thing, tried to change lanes without looking.

Fucking morons.

Why is it that when my cat gets on my lap she expects to be petted, but when a fly lands on me he won't let me touch him?

Has psycho ex-boyfriends harassing my youngest daughter been mentioned yet?

We are having our quarterly departmental luncheon on Wednesday, 50+ people spanning multiple departments under one VP.

The day after the election.

What could go wrong?

I hate job hunting. I paid to have someone craft a resume for me, and it turns out my strict adherence to only listing what I had actually done on mine is poor practice, and it's expected I state I have the ability to do things I've never done if I think I could learn them. It feels so slimy and dishonest.

But even then, when I interview for a job where I've got the measurables and feel good about my ability, I can't land it. I've got a teaching award for college-level teaching. I co-designed new classes as a graduate student. I just got rejected from a TA-pool position today. Like, I can't even get the job I used to have and got an award for doing exceptionally well. How will I ever get a job which actually advances my career in some way? It feels hopeless.

Searching for a job can be a job itself. It can be so frustrating. Juice up your resume as much as you can without outright lying. I don't like the practice either, but most everyone does it.

Just keep going, you'll get one eventually. Hopefully soon.

As someone who was part of the hiring process at my company recently, it's a dangerous proposition to say you can do something you think you could learn. We hired a guy for one specific skill and his answers in the interview were very solid (I was only in first interview and he had good answers on the concepts, not sure how his lack of experience got through the second). The function is something we had a big gap for and thought he could hit the ground running. It's coming along 5 weeks later, but it has forever tainted his reputation here because of the number of leaders who have needed the skills we thought we were getting right away.

We would have still hired him, but it would have been good to have a better expectation of his abilities going in.

I recently searched for over two years. I had a job, just hated it, so I could be selective in what I applied for but it was still a nightmare.

Over that time I had:
Multiple second interviews that I thought went well, which I did not get so those were months or more of waiting
Someone told me right away I was just filling out the applicant pool and most like would not get the job. I think he was trying to be nice, but it was annoying
One woman could not hear my microphone and thought I was having issues. I know 100% it was on her end but she blamed it on me. Finally she got mad and called me, but we both knew it was over at that point.
A couple Zoom-Teams interviews with multiple people where I was on camera and no one else is
An interview where I was on camera and someone told me they used to work for my boss (who I and most everyone else hated) and asked me what I thought of him. I could have probably won a Razzie for my answer of "oh, hes good to work with"
Because my boss hired people and never moved them - I had a lot of interviews where they would ask me why I was still a level 1 after 6 years. I tried to explain, but I could tell some interviewers assumed that was because of me and my performance

Its never fun to get psyched up for an interview, prepare some good ethnic jokes, and then either get strung along in the process or told right away its over. Sadly most everyone does it, just keep going

lol we have a free preview right now in the new (used) car and when Im driving that car Im on Classic rewind or Lithium channel. But I will cycle through the rock guide/channels. I didnt know DMB stood for Dave Matthews band channel up until last week. Id always land on that channel and move on to the next one because there would never be anything playing that I wanted to listen to.
