These articles that focus on what people on Chinese social media have to say about something more than the something that happened always confuse me.
It’s like if all the 9/11 coverage was not on planes flying into a building, but what people were tweeting about it.
They’re not moving, so you need to yell “GO!” until they start.
Are you replying to yourself here?
I try to miss order updates but it doesn’t seem to matter. Whether I see them or not, eventually there’s someone banging on my door with a bag of cold food.
“I can’t carry it for you, but I can carry you!”
scene fucking EXPLODES into a high tempo musical number
Should have been:
“Shut up Wesley”
“Shut up Wesley?”
“Shut up, Wesley”
Of course I do! I’m on speakerphone and holding the phone an arms length away from my face for some reason.
“You’re now left behind!”
Then why can I still hear you?
If it’s going to happen, just play cool. If they terminate you, you don’t have to agree to anything or say anything you don’t feel like.
7 years is a good tenure. You can apply for new jobs from a strong position. Learn to leverage your sales pitch for what you learned and how you grew in those 7 years - that’s the story your next employer wants to hear. What are you finally good at? What did you fuck up and learn a valuable lesson from? Tell stories about that kind of shit in your next interviews.
Establish lines of communication with coworkers you want to maintain contact with. LinkedIn is good enough. You just want to be able to contact them for a reference on your job hunt. Prospective employers want to talk to them - so pick people that will sell you the best. They aren’t going to call your previous employer and ask how you did - fuck the company. Keep lines open with people you want to, and set them up while you’re still employed and can exchange emails with them.
What do you want to know in the meeting? Just ask. You aren’t under any obligation to answer any questions but you can ask whatever the fuck you want. It is unlikely to have any impact on the rest of your life if you ask a question or don’t. You’re done with these people. Don’t feel like you have to be obedient or indulgent.
If this is how it goes, that sucks. I know the anxiety that comes along with it. The last time I got laid off, I was even looking into fucking military service. Don’t panic and make rash decisions like I almost did. A gap in cash flow is scary as shit but you will bounce back and hit a new stride. The uncertainty is just shitty.
Good luck!
Paying anybody a small compliment is free.
some test body text suggests there’s more.
Well. Give it to us.
Is he having a conversation with VLC media player?
Sometimes I am not a good person. Then I revise my definition of “good” until we’re good to go again.
Not supposed to talk about it anymore, sir.
You’re back with a fresh account, I see.
I see nothing wrong with this.
I’ve seen all kinds.
Some will instantly change the lights and give cars a red.
Some will trigger the lights after a period of time - maybe synced to another traffic light, or a timer so it doesn’t change too quickly/often.
Some won’t actually cause the lights to change any sooner, but pressing the button will cause the chirping sound to play for people with visual impairments when the light finally changes.
And sometimes they’re broken and trigger the lights even when nobody pushed it. Those are fun when you’re driving a car.
Oh fuck me I thought it was Elon replying to himself.
Meh I’m keeping it up.
Haven’t played.
Tried.
How does one try a game without playing it? Like taking a small nibble out of the box?
“Behold!”
