Engineering, Computer Science, Accounting, or Business. That's if I also had the math skill to complete those.

Some real world advice: Biggest mistake of my life was majoring in history, don't do it. I'm miserable and work at KMart and feel like my life is over.

Watching Insomnia, a 2002 modern film noir starring Al Pacino and Robin Williams. It's pretty good so far. Had it in my Netflix queue for awhile and finally decided to watch it.

"We are still interviewing and had a lot more applicants than anticipated. Contact me again if you don't hear from me next week"

Well, looks like tomorrow I will be working for Kmart. Oh boy! No wonder I watched 30 movies last month, to escape this crap life. No friends, no gf...but I can go without those. All I want is a good job.

MP will never be as good as it was in the H2-H3 era, so at least I have the MCC. I'm more concerned about campaign. When are we going to see at least something? A screenshot? I remember in February 2012 we already had a Vidoc about Halo 4 out.

Greetings -redacted-

I interviewed for the business writer position last Thursday. I enjoyed talking with you and believe that I could serve -redacted- Systems well because of my writing skills, love for technology, and strong work ethic. You had mentioned that I would hear back within a week regarding my application. I have sent this email to check on the hiring process. I am wondering if there will be a second round of interviews, and also if the hiring manger would like to read a sample of my writing. Thank you. Best regards,

-redacted

It's good, but I would cut out "I would gladly send one", because it kind of ruins the sentence structure and doesn't sound very professional.
Okay. Yeah, that does sound a little silly. Sounds better with that cut out.

It sounds pretty solid now, but I might change the "I am sending this email" part to "I have sent this email to check on the hiring process", because you used "I am" in the sentence afterwards.
Maybe I'll just cut that sentence, it seems unneeded and self explanatory- of course that's why I'm sending the email...

« on: February 04, 2015, 06:42:32 PM »
I know exactly why:

All my friends moved away and have their own lives. Women don't want someone with no social life.

As a 23 year old I will be working at Kmart because I chose a shitty liberal arts degree.

Women are extremely judgmental, I understand that, and accept that I won't be with one for a very long time, if ever.

Gaming / Re: friendly reminder that realism=/=quality gameplay
« on: February 04, 2015, 04:58:57 PM »
I agree and I think that can work both ways. On one hand some very realistic games that I have enjoyed in the past have been the original Ghost Recon, and the Rainbow Six series. There is a steep learning curve, and someone who is not used to a game like the original Ghost Recon might think it has terrible gameplay.

On the other hand, think of a game like Timesplitters 2: dual-wielding Thompson Submachine guns as a Gingerbread man, just 'cause is pure fun.

What psy said pretty much sums it up.

She said contact her in a week anyway.
I know, but I'm not sure what language to use..

"Hi I was wondering if I was hired for the job." Asking that just doesn't seem that professional.

Or, "Is there going to be a second round of interviews?"

Eh, I'll probably think of something.

I'd email her tomorrow and just ask if she has any updates because you have other options that have already offered you a job that are waiting to hear from you.
Alright sounds good. I hate being in this position where you're waiting for one good job while another one already accepted you...

So I had an interview last Thursday for a Business/Technical writer for an IT company. I thought it went well. She said I should hear back within a week, but if not, I could contact her. I emailed the lady who interviewed me the complimentary email thank you note the day after (everyone says to do that). Should I send another email tomorrow asking if I got the job? It sucks waiting, and I can't anymore. Some people have told me you should be very persistent, while others have told me that could ruin your chances.

I start Kmart on Friday, so I need to know, because that's the last thing I want to do on Earth, and it feels like my life is depending on this job. Or I will be doomed to work in a goddamned department store.

Would this be appropriate: "Hi, I was wondering if there would be a second round of interviews and if the hiring manager would like to read a sample of my work. Thank you".

« on: February 03, 2015, 10:28:47 PM »
Some things seem impossible when you think of them, like a planet forming, or the universe, physics, the vastness of space, etc...

But if we filmed where the very first humans 24/7 and how they developed with cameras there'd be no great mystery there.

The movement feels so clunky...am I the only one that feels that way? BF4 felt smoother. Hotwire was fun, conquest was frustrating. Only played one match of Heist.

Oh boy...biggest of my life: Majoring in history. First I was an undecided major for two years and I had to choose something. Would have been okay if I really wanted to be a teacher, but I don't. So it's true what everyone says about liberal arts, and I got hired at KMart today. Woopdey fucking do. I have to pretend to be nice to people but underneath I just want to tell them to all fuck themselves because it's a job below me.

The Flood / I watched The Rock (1996) for the first time
« on: February 02, 2015, 09:25:31 PM »
No, nothing to do with The Rock, but rather the rock where some of the most notorious criminals were left to rot, Alcatraz. Most notable in American history would be Al Capone. This is one of the best straight-up action movies I have ever seen, and it was Michael Bay's second film. It also has the highest rating out of any of his films with a 66% on Rotten Tomatoes. This was always one of those films that I have heard of, but never actually seen.

It features great performances by Ed Harris, the one and only Sean Connery, and Nicholas Cage. What? Yes, even him. Great action set pieces, one of which will immediately remind you of a portion of Modern Warfare 2. The designers obviously watched this movie. Additionally you also get a great score by Hans Zimmer to punctuate the action. I could tell by the first ten minutes that this would turn into one of my favorite films.

 It wasn't an award winner by any means, but who cares. If you are bored within the next few days, find a free steam online somewhere and give it a shot. There is some emotion in there for a Michael Bay film, trust me. The end nearly melts your heart, and you are left feeling good. This is a great film in my opinion for the ride it took me on (listening with HD headphones), and that's why I would give it a 5/5. Bay has been quoted in the past regarding his critics, "I make movies for teenage boys-- get over it," but this film is enjoyable for action fans of all ages. I'll post more amateur movie reviews periodically.

PS. Connery is a badass.

Watch it with my brother and parents...it's really like the early 2000s all over again. New Jurassic Park, Star Wars, and the Patriots winning the Super Bowl. I kept saying to myself the entire game, there has to be an interception... One of the most memorable Super Bowls in a while. At the end I jumped outside in the snow and yelled.

So it is...every year I tell myself I'll have something to do for next year's. At least that's what I said last year... Oh well, in no position for a relationship anyways, seeing as I'm almost 23 and will be working for K-Mart having reached my last last resort.

Better than the all-female reboot. And now we wait for Hollywood to destroy Indiana Jones as well.
