#something to put on my resume

[amaros-system]

Two things to come to mind (that aren't horrific):

First was the speech competition on my elementary school. I really fucking hated the topic I was forced to write about. My speech was found the best in the class overall. After some resistance I eventually agreed to do it in the auditorium in front of the whole school. There my speech was considered best in the entire school. So I got a chance to compete with the rest of the county. I did not want to do it. The principal and my mom practically had to beg me to go. I was not having it, but eventually relented.

So I went in front of the judge board... and forgot the entire speech because I had spent the last few days doing math problems for fun.

Second is also on my speechcraft skills. It was just my two speeches in my mandatory speech class that I didn't want to take (what's the point in taking it I'm already so good at it and don't plan on using that skill much?). My professor said that my informative speech was the best he heard in his entire time teaching there. Which was surprising to me because I wrote it all in a single day, didn't even finish it, and gave myself a grand total of 10 minutes to memorize it. Given my speech was partially about infixes, which is difficult to talk about without swearing, I brought a swear jar and dropped in a coin every time I cursed. My professor really liked this.

My next speech was on involuntary psychiatric treatment and was something I actually put work into because I really cared about. I had to cut it down by a lot just because I had so much to say. I was required to use a "visual" aid so I brought what the UN would classify as a sonic weapon to class and used it on them to really drive my point home. It was good enough to leave the class speechless and get my professor to pull me aside to talk about his own personal experiences with psychiatry.

Honestly I'm like if Will Hunting hated math.

let's share stories.

what's a moment in your life that felt right out of a movie?

sure, sex with someone you love is great, but have you ever obsessed over a fictional character for months and years with no end in sight?

Quick reminder for all of us low self-esteem havers that we’re easier to love than we think

Super sexy me is so sexy I accidentally set off the fire alarm while baking pie shells for my pumpkin pie. And now I don't know if I should've even baked them in the first place. But well. Too late now 👍

Gonna put a picture of a bug below the cut. Can anyone identify what type it is so I can tag it in an upcoming gifset? (It will also be tagged with bugs & bugs tw but i also just want to tag whatever type of bug it is)

chris ryan casually dropping a joking use of "the great work continues"... continuing to prove himself the ringer person i would most enjoy hanging out with in real life despite on paper the two of us having nothing in common except a deep love for the david fincher movie zodiac

would you like to elaborate on any gender analysis or headcanons for the bad kids?

I love th way this is worded. what if I wouldn't like to where would we be

[wolfthatroamsshadows]

Just saw this. I'm this close to crying. How did this happen? When did this happen?

Over 10,000 hits on a stupid story with a stupid plot that was supposed to have just 3 chapters and be done. Now has 18 chapters and I'm still struggling to write the final chapter. It has gone through so many rewrites and writer's blocks with me.

My next most "successful" story has not even half as many hits.

I just... I'm speechless. I just... I can't.

To anyone who might see this and has read the story... Thank you.

you know what? the best compliments always come from kids. they are the most genuine compliments.

Been really botching the social interactions lately. Missing social cues, dominating the conversation, saying the wrong names, info and/or trauma dumping. I know conversation has never come naturally to me but c’mon man, we’ve trained for this. I might have to start writing the rules on my hand.

[vampyroteuthid]

as if today wasn't bad enough on its own with the hour + of crying and migraine and pissy ass immature asshole boss i had to listen to my coworkers (all of whom have kids) talk about how fine it is to hit your kid in the face "as long as it was with an open palm and doesn't leave a mark that lasts for more than 48 hours" so umm. actually i don't even know what to say about that what a deranged way to approach having a child

Not Chloe trying to be nice and offering to go to my event today so I can relax from traveling and actually sit down and get shit ready for the next two weeks that I won’t be in the office because of college fairs, and then my boss being a micromanager and demanding to know what all I have to do that’s preventing me from going to the event.

(This got longer than I intended so here’s a cut)

Like…again. I will be out of office for essentially two weeks for three different college fairs that are back to back to back. I won’t even be home in between two of them, so I have to pack for two weeks. I have to make sure I have EVERYTHING together before I head out on Tuesday to the first event, and I have today and Monday to do it because Friday our department is hosting an event that I have to attend.

I have to go through our inventory for giveaway prizes, stuff to give away at my tables, make sure I have all these handouts from the different schools and departments, catch up on my expense reports, put student information into our system, catch up on emails, create an entire new presentation that’s 10 minutes long from information that takes 30-45 minutes to even relay in the first place, clean my office, meet with students in between all of this, work on this program that they assigned me that I shouldn’t even be doing in the first place because I’m hardly ever in the office, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. But yeah. I’m clearly not going today because I’m lazy and a bad employee. Not like your other representatives who you’ve actually allowed weeks to not be on the road so they have time to do a fraction of all of what I’m doing.

Anyway.

The default advice for people trying to get into IT is to get certifications and make a homelab but this if your resume gets seen by a human and it’s seen by the IT manager and not some hr rep or recruiter

TLDR: getting an entry level IT job is impossible and advice online is just get one more certification bro just one more just one more and you will get that $16 an hour job also please spend $300 setting up a server to store movies and control the rgb lights in your room I guess. (To be fair this can be done for “free” if you have an old laptop or enough parts to build something. The price is if you want it in a little box that sits next to the tv)

Anyway I do not see the point of having a homelab other than doing it for experience

IoT devices? Absolutely not. Nothing that isn’t a phone, console, tv, or pc should ever have an internet connection. And the tv is pushing it tbh. Why can your fridge receive updates? What’s wrong with you.

File storage? Ok yes but this only makes sense if you’re a data hoarder or some kind of content creator. If you don’t have a tiny ass pc, most cases will allow for at least 2 hdds.

Media server? I mean. This one is just me personally, I don’t watch movies or tv. The few times I do I just stream it for free.

What’s left? Virtual machines? How many do you actually need? I have a single Linux vm that I use for some class work/learning. It’s not running all the time.

EVERY time im like ughhh something feels Wrong with me but idk what i feel so distressed and something just isnt right and i look up and it is RAINING

kindle unlimited hospice 💀

If we're running with that analogy, sending my patient to hospice care is a lot kinder than continuing to charge her for a painful, ineffective treatment plan.
