Title goes here

A friend emailed me the other day and said she like the site and she enjoyed my "ramblings" at it reminded her of lunch period back in high school. Good to know I haven't grown up or matured in the span of time between high school and now.

The job search continues though most of the posted want ads I've seen are either those "Make $10000 in two weeks right from home!" bullshit ads, a bunch of others are for the same job I just left. I could just imagine reapplying: "Do you have any experience in a field such as this?" "Yes, in fact, my previous job I worked in that cubicle right over there."

That's all for now. What, you were expecting more? - asmyth82 11:07 AM -

IFIDs and other assorted crap

Sometimes I can't believe what I hear. Sometimes it just causes me to think I must be going insane and I stop, shake my head, and ask the person to repeat themselves hoping upon hope that I misheard what they said.

I start the Wednesday off hanging about until about noon or so then head to class. Today I met a friend I went to highschool with on the bus. She was reading Stupid White Men by Michael Moore. She thought it was well written and Michael Moore is great. I mention this here just in case anyone showed up here from Blogs of War or even John himself. I'm sure an opinion like that would cause a reaction somewhere between a shake of the head and a chuckle to frothing at the mouth and chewing on the carpet, screaming at the heavens about how anyone could like anything Michael Moore could have to say. In other words, I mention it to cause trouble or at least delude myself into thinking up the previously mentioned results. It helps fill my delusional fantasy world.

The above mentioned term IFID is short for "I fit iron dicks." If you don't know that term, rent a fucking movie. Basically it's IFID is a term I am from now on going to use to describe anyone who causes me pain from stupidity. Just thought I'd share.

On the same note, I still cannot believe, even after several hours, that a graphic design student in the second year would have to ask how to merge layers in Photoshop. or have problems building a simple webpage when an online tutorial is included. If it were being coded by hand, then yes, I can understand how some may need help or have trouble. But in a WYSIWYG editor?! The answer is: "What you do is File:Exit. Then march down to the registrars office and hope you can get your money back since you are obviously in the wrong place."

I mean, honestly, who throws a cupcake? - asmyth82 5:24 PM -

23 skidoo

One thing I can say about being unemployeed as I sit here on my first day of joblessness is that it actually gives me time to update. As of late, I've had little time to throw up any new thoughts or ramblings up here. I nearly said rants, but it that word has been entirely overused and it seems that everyone and their dead grandmother is ranting somewhere on the information superhighway. I'm sure if though if there were actually that many people on the planet that angry, that raving, that so full of the fuel of rant, that the world would have collapsed into nuclear war as soon as the internet was created. Then of course Al Gore wouldn't want to take credit for creating the internet. But we'd stick him in that lockbox of his anyway and toss the key.

As for the next American election, having seen the people the Democrats have to offer, I think the Republicans could buy a large chunk of airtime, perhaps during the Super Bowl, then tell the American people as a whole to go perform an action on themselves that is physically impossible and they'd still win the next election by a landslide. The Democrats in the race could cause a coma just by eye contact.

Do you know what I find stupid? Those "Marijuana: harmless?" commercials. Now let me state right now before anybody reading this gets the wrong idea. I'm not a pot smoker. Never have, never will. I don't use any other illegal substance either. I just think the anti marijuana commercials are the stupidest things ever created. Especially the one with the two stoned teens hanging out in the den at one of their houses. For those who haven't seen it, they say stupid stuff back and forth and laugh for a few seconds. Then near the end of the commercial, one of the teens picks up a gun. "Dude, check this out." "Cool, is it loaded?" "Naw." The gun, as if in response, goes off as the screen goes black. Marijuana can kill, the ad says. Well unless that gun was firing joints, it wasn't the fucking marijuana that killed the kid. It was one of those little metal projectiles that was inside the gun.

Also, don't get me wrong. I may not like guns but I sure as hell wouldn't try and tell someone else they can't have them. That's your choice. I have no say in it, at least until someone turns their gun on me. But back to my point. If you're going to own a gun and raise stupid kids, don't a)leave the gun loaded and b)lock it up. Yes, that is just a good rule of thumb for everyone, with kids or not. It's just that stupid babies need the most attention.

I'll go back to sleep now. - asmyth82 11:01 PM -

So that's what that feels like

Well I'm out of a job. They were kind enough to give me another week so I get a little more money. It's more than they give most people let go. Plus my manager said he'd give me a recommendation which is something he's not supposed to be doing but, as he put it, I was a very good employee. Now I have to start job hunting. The good thing is since I left a job I had recently accquired to work at where I was, I have little to update on my resume.

It's been a while

I hope everyone had a good holiday. Mine was pretty good, despite catching a cold for the new year.

In other news I'm going to be shitcanned. Basically my job wants me to work more hours but my school schedule/workload wouldn't really allow it. I'd say there's a 98% chance of me not being employeed in a matter of days. I would say 100% but I'm felling naively optimistic. Basically the hours or lack thereof that they want is the reason I'm going to be unemployeed. My work is good, and I'm basically meeting all the objectives, though a couple of them could use some improvement. I've told them that I can work until as late as I used to but they've cut back on how long the job is running until every night so I end up a few hours less worked each week than when I first started and soon will be out one job.

C'est la vie. - asmyth82 9:51 AM -
