So I know I haven't posted here in a while, but it's because I've moved to Denver, and I'm now a Warehouse Processing Technician for a large Retail/Medical Marijuana Warehouse.
My day to day consists of harvesting, curing, and helping package product, as well as developing new systems for streamlining these processes. I've also been doing some IT work for the warehouse and at my 90-day I think I will basically get the option to choose where I want to be in the company.
It's really nice to work in a startup industry, where systems are just being developed/implemented and you can help shape those processes.
Going onsite for an interview with an AWS team. The team sounds pretty cool and is in its early stages which I find exciting. Guess we'll see how the day of interviews goes.
Finally had my on site interviews yesterday. It took a while to schedule and once it was it was there were another two weeks before before the date. Even though I felt like I prepared pretty well it was more challenging than I anticipated. I slept horribly the night before but even with a good nights sleep I'm not sure if it would have made a difference. I feel like I didn't do well enough to get an offer but I've also heard that candidates of any job often are bad at analyzing their performance in interviews so maybe I didn't do as bad as I thought. Either way it was a really fun experience. Might be back to applying for jobs once I hear back from the recruiter.
For the sake of completeness I did not get the job. Most of the technical questions were pretty legitimate besides the graphical math question I got from the person who was supposed to be the "bar raiser" I assume. I came up with a solution that I thought might work but didn't know how write out the formula and a quick Google search showed an algorithm and formula I vaguely remember from high school being the "agreed upon" solution.
Despite my stupid mistakes and the previously mentioned question it wasn't too difficult but was a good challenge. Will probably be a while before I reapply there if I do but I'd be more confident about getting an offer. For now its back to applying to places that seem interesting.
I'm going to be a shift lead at work!!! It comes with a substantial promotion today and will go into effect next week. I was happy to have a huge wave of positivist when I applied for the job. It'll be a weekend shift lead. Which means I have to give up some weekends, but I already do that now. I'll still be at PAX and CTcon.
On less successful note, emotional healing is a mother fucking process; and that shit is not fucking easy. All this positive shit and I can't help feeling like crap. Way less now then a few weeks ago, but it can still suck the wind out of my chest.
Congrats, and you're doing great. Probably far better than me were I in your position.
The poster for the new X-men film looks pretty neat.
Professor X's newest power, rocket farts.
As far as I'm concerned, if they aren't using a live action version of the Days of Future Past comic book cover as the movie poster, that marketing department needs to be fired.

As far as I'm concerened I refuse to watch this unless I'm completely drunk, this franchise is a cash cow preying on feeble minded people.
That a really cool selection and was described well.
I feel as if humans are actually close to bonobos and chimpanzees but because of our societal taboos and expected familial structures we have biological instincts which don't fit in with societal expectations.
The Wacom staff assured me that I need not be concerned regarding the fragile nature of the product. They weren't kidding - The box our Cintiq arrived in is massive and acted as a portal to a dimension of pure styrofoam.
Update on the job front: I have a phone interview with Twitter Seattle for a job that I'm pretty sure I'm very underqualified for. Who knows though, maybe it might work out?
I happened to watch The Price Is Right the other day. While I was watching I started to wonder if anyone ever figured out the odds for the various games. Apparently someone has.
Done and done. I'll be going to law school this fall.
Where?
Have you read the JD Underground forum? It's depressing and nasty, but if you take what you read there with a grain of salt, you can get some insight on what things are really like for most lawyer types these days.
It's a pretty tough deal all the way around. Many, if not most, people are very dissatisfied and the job market is terrible. However, if you have some specific goals from the start and do exceptionally well in your first semester, you might be okay.
What I've learned from my wife: Go to a Top 10 school, graduate top 10% of your class, make connections and intern, you will get a job (probably). Otherwise haha good luck, fucker.
Of course this is for NYC, which is pretty competitive. But there's been all sorts of scummy stuff with law schools massaging the numbers their employed alumni, and such.

I mean that entirely in earnest. Competition is good.
