| 15:59.57 | youtah | TodPunk, okay now that OpenWest is done |
| 16:00.05 | youtah | what was the My Little Pony one |
| 16:00.35 | TodPunk | The My Little Pony one what? |
| 16:00.44 | youtah | nothotdog.life |
| 16:01.05 | TodPunk | I have no idea. I did the lockpicking and that's it. |
| 16:01.11 | youtah | ah |
| 16:01.27 | youtah | I got the I Smell Bacon |
| 16:01.33 | youtah | "Show us your Ham License (or give us your call sign, etc), you ham." |
| 16:01.42 | TodPunk | The web hacking stuff takes WAY too long and never feels satisfying. I never feel clever or like I put together a puzzle, I feel like I guessed right and wasted an hour doing so. |
| 16:02.03 | youtah | yeah, I thought... the amount of time it would take to complete that stuff would be equal to the conference |
| 16:02.23 | youtah | and then I would have not paid any attention to the classes |
| 16:02.43 | TodPunk | there were some good talks this year, too |
| 16:02.45 | youtah | For sure |
| 16:05.21 | TodPunk | Just overall quality of the event was upped. |

| 16:10.25 | youtah | I agree |
| 16:10.37 | youtah | I think that having a solid Wifi that actually worked was huge too |
| 16:10.47 | youtah | compared to UVU... yikes's |
| 16:10.57 | youtah | several of my co-workers were very impressed |

| 16:42.36 | aeryndunham | in today's episode of 'omg i need a job', watch as I apply for a job that specifically asks for proficiency in a microsoft product I've never even touched! |
| 16:51.07 | romanovic | I feel like people often really do have proficiency in microsoft office products they've never touched. You can use it for the first time _and_ be productive with it on day 1 |
| 16:51.34 | spangborn_ | Unless it has a ribbon |
| 16:51.36 | spangborn_ | in which case, you're boned |
| 16:52.11 | aeryndunham | Hah |
| 16:52.36 | aeryndunham | It's MS Project which I am tryyyying to find a trial version of or something but it looks like Youtube tutorials will have to do |
| 16:52.55 | straya | MS Project is easy |
| 16:53.04 | straya | don't freak out |
| 16:53.32 | aeryndunham | Oh, I imagine it is |
| 16:53.49 | aeryndunham | I don't feel bad about exaggerating resume skills for software I am confident I can learn quickly |
| 16:54.17 | aeryndunham | Like I wouldn't apply for a job asking me to know Ruby and think I could learn it overnight. But MS anything CAN'T be that hard |
| 16:56.41 | straya | go learn MSSQL Server :P |
| 16:57.11 | aeryndunham | heh, ok, that might be an exception to my rule then :p |
| 16:57.11 | spangborn_ | Hey now, we don't want aeryndunham to endure torture |
| 16:57.29 | aeryndunham | it's just a Project Coordinator role. Nothing particularly difficult, but they do ask for MS Project and Visio |
| 16:57.33 | aeryndunham | I've used Visio a bit |
| 16:57.55 | aeryndunham | Probably not for how they're using it but oh well |
| 16:58.37 | romanovic | yeah. if you're already technically inclined I bet you would probably get to know it better than the level of management doing the hiring, early on. |
| 16:59.23 | aeryndunham | I was browsing job listings for a recruiting company which technically doesn't tell you what company it's for but this one is for where Chris works, I can tell |
| 16:59.27 | jima | ugh, don't learn mssql. save yourself! |
| 16:59.38 | aeryndunham | so they'd like my ship experience |

| 17:12.34 | infobot | Sweet! That's like a dollar an hour! |
| 17:24.55 | aeryndunham | Chris was joking that I should just email every cruise line with offices in Miami and say "Hi! I worked on ships for 6 years, I need a job, and I am just full of information on a major top secret project happening at Carnival" :P |
| 17:34.03 | Migs | crap, I'm honestly now thinking of attending my 20-year class reunion next month...I've been seeing all the registrations come in of who's going...realizing I liked a lot more people in my class than I thought |
| 17:35.04 | Migs | I had other plans at the same time, but I might cancel them |
| 17:36.24 | aeryndunham | I didn't go to my 5 or 10 year and I cannot forsee myself ever wanting to go to a later one |
| 17:37.01 | Migs | I didn't go to my 10 year either |
| 17:37.01 | Migs | we didn't have a 5 |
| 17:37.22 | Migs | my original thought then was that I've kept in touch with pretty much everyone I cared to from high school |
| 17:38.08 | Migs | but they asked me to set up a class reunion site to register and pay for events, so I did...and now I'm seeing all these names of old friends and remembering good memories and getting nostalgic |
| 17:38.43 | Migs | the problem is most of my friends were actually a grade below me, but I'm obviously not invited to that reunion |
| 17:39.10 | aeryndunham | Ah, was the same for me |
| 17:39.21 | aeryndunham | I might have gone to the reunion for the grade below me |
| 17:39.44 | Migs | there's one friend from a grade below that I'll always regret not keeping in closer contact with |
| 17:40.07 | Migs | I think that ship has sailed, though |
| 17:44.04 | aeryndunham | I haven't seen anyone I went to high school with for a long time |
| 17:44.32 | Migs | right now, there's really only one person I occasionally see...just went to Seattle to see him last April...but that had been the first time in years |
| 17:45.04 | Migs | other than that, my only other friends are my co-workers |
| 17:45.15 | Migs | used to have a bunch of neighborhood friends, but they've all moved |
| 17:45.20 | Migs | kind of blows |
| 17:45.44 | aeryndunham | Yeah, I know how that feels. I don't really have any friends right now |
| 17:46.03 | aeryndunham | If you plunked me on any of our 18 ships, I'd have friends there, probably, but nobody local |
| 17:46.27 | aeryndunham | The people at the job I didn't get were SO NICE, that's half of why I was so devastated to not get it, it would have been nice to have friends |
| 17:47.08 | Migs | aw that sucks |
| 17:47.13 | Migs | that makes sense, though |
| 17:47.20 | Migs | :( |
| 17:47.46 | Migs | There's a company I've been doing freelance work for, and they're trying to get me to come over full time...I'm seriously tempted. They're ridiculously nice. |
| 17:50.36 | Migs | We're still negotiating. They're actually bringing me and my wife along with them to a conference in New Orleans next week. Kind of stoked about that. |
| 17:50.38 | Migs | never been there before |
| 17:53.25 | aeryndunham | Oh, fun! |
| 17:53.53 | aeryndunham | I see that the job I applied for is no longer listed. I hope whoever they picked is boring and no fun. >.< |
| 17:58.07 | romanovic | how does one prevent a toddler from cutting her own hair? she can't be stopped. originally we thought that locking up all scissors in the house would stop her, but she is a magician |
| 17:58.39 | romanovic | every few days she appears with a new pair of scissors that she had hidden away somewhere, and we have to lock them up. |
| 17:59.36 | romanovic | we moved all of the scissors behind an even more secure locked door. she's still cutting her hair but we can't find the scissors she's using, and all of our locked up scissors still appear locked up |

| 18:03.53 | aeryndunham | well your toddler is clearly a magician |
| 18:08.08 | aeryndunham | I should go to the store and at least get a couple days worth of dinner purchased |
| 18:17.02 | manithree | romanovic: shave her head |
| 18:41.05 | romanovic | she'd look like a short version of El |
| 18:42.04 | joshh | romanovic: shave her head |
| 18:42.13 | joshh | manithree is right |
| 18:42.59 | joshh | if she ends up liking it forever, it will save you a lot of money on hairdressers |
| 18:43.01 | romanovic | haha. I don't think my wife would allow that. She was mourning the loss of my daughter's curls all last night. |
| 18:43.40 | romanovic | This morning she took her to some children's hair stylist place. and literally within 30 min of coming home, my daughter fetched a hidden pair of scissors and cut off even more hair, after the stylist had fixed it |
| 18:44.24 | joshh | you guys must own a lot of scissors |
| 18:45.40 | romanovic | she's pulling out scissors I didn't even know we owned. but yes, my wife does crafts and sewing, so my daughter probably had opportunities in the past to stash some away |
| 18:49.20 | joshh | im so glad my wife doesn't do a whole lot of crafts... when she does, she makes such a mess and takes a while to clean it up |
| 18:53.32 | TodPunk | Pro tip: you can not get a child (especially one too young to have any reasoning skills) to not do something unless you provide a reason for them to convince themselves not to do a thing. |
| 18:53.41 | TodPunk | locking up the scissors is just a challenge |
| 18:54.07 | TodPunk | (and they have higher dexterity stats than you) |
| 18:55.17 | joshh | she probably just thinks its a good game that gets attention |
| 18:55.26 | joshh | make it clear you don't like it or laugh at it, etc |
| 19:33.39 | romanovic | probably. I can see what interests her, though. She enjoys the action of cutting things, and looks for new things to experiment cutting with scissors (not just her hair). Clothes, bed comforter, broom bristles, etc. |
| 19:34.10 | romanovic | Not necessarily things she shows off after she's done. She does it in hiding, like she just wants to try it out |
| 19:35.07 | romanovic | I can remember doing basically the exact same thing at her age, with no concept of destroying the value of something |
| 19:35.57 | romanovic | "I'm not ruining it, I'm just making some pretty cuts on it, scissors are fun" |
| 19:36.30 | straya | I vote you give her a sawzall and a chunk of metal and let her get really creative |
| 19:36.56 | straya | Redirect the interest in cutting and stuff into something really powerful and fun! |
| 19:37.39 | romanovic | sort of the same as carving into things with my first pocket knife, or incinerating new and interesting materials in the campfire when older, except at that age I had enough sense not to damage property. and enough luck not to burn the forest down. |
| 19:39.53 | romanovic | dreads the day when his spawn learn how matches and lighters work |
| 19:42.40 | straya | I'd like to argue that its better you teach them than let them discover it on their own |
| 19:43.07 | straya | so it could be today that they learn about it! |

| 23:28.48 | romanovic | I thought I'd read the books first, so I started the first one but didn't make it more than 50% through. I just couldn't get into it, after waiting for at least one character to appear with a laudable purpose, and none did |

| 23:36.48 | aeryndunham | which is weird, maybe? |
| 23:36.53 | aeryndunham | but it's a big company! lots of openings! |
| 23:50.51 | youtah | if it is a big company, try revamping your resum,e |
| 23:51.10 | youtah | if they have any software that auto sorts them out, then perhaps your resume wasn't flagged as a target |
| 23:51.30 | youtah | good chance they're going to different hiring managers as well |
