    where were you with your phone

    why is this not on youtube

    I NEED TUESDAYS OFF, BECAUSE I LIKE TO HAVE A DAY OFF, AND ON TUESDAYS THE DINER NEAR MY PLACE HAS A GOOD DEAL, SO THAT'S MY DAY OFF. I NEED A CHAIR THAT HELPS MY BACK, I HAVE A BAD BACK, AND I CODE BETTER IF I HAVE A HEATED PILLOW ON MY BACK, ESPECIALLY PHP

    if you start requiring python I'm going to need a recliner. Preferably a lazy boy.

    One guy wore a hawaiian shirt and started the interview with "I'm kind of a big deal"

    I guess now's the time to admit this ...

    My entire "interview" was just me ripping the sleeves off my shirt and flexing while glaring menacingly into my boss' eyes.

    There was one really nice guy so I hope he gets hired because he seemed like a cool dude

    One dude clearly falsified everything on his resume

    One guy wore a hawaiian shirt and started the interview with "I'm kind of a big deal"

    PROGRAMMERS

    Shit you turned down a hawaiian shirt guy? You've already lost.

    I heard of one like that. For a faculty member position at a university, the top applicant had a lot of pretty impressive publications in his resume. The search committee was talking to him, and at the same time trying to find some of those publications online to read them and coming up null. So in one email they asked him "hey by the way, we'd love to read your papers but we're having trouble finding them, can you send us some copies?" They never heard from the guy again.

    So I have a L4D serial tied to an old Steam account.

    How do I get it to my new account? I tried "trading" it or whatever, but when I friend myself on Steam it doesn't give me the option to trade.

    So I'm ten hours into Fez and due to a bug there's some rooms I can't get to, so I can't 100% the game on this save.

    Started a second game to test and the door worked this time around, so I guess I need to play through everything again.

    I am surprisingly not mad about this.

    There's no living with a killing. There's no goin' back from one. Right or wrong, it's a brand... a brand sticks. There's no goin' back. Now you run on home to your mother and tell her... tell her everything's alright. And there aren't any more guns in the valley.

    Most resumes are fake to some degree. It just makes my resume look that much better when I go against them, cheeky little fuckers.

    My job interview was my boss treating me like I was wasting his time and then getting the job because I worked in the building during undergrad.

    can I make fun of west coast programmers

    cause you guys are hilarious

    I'm also super jealous of their 9 hour days and 5-4 day weeks. That shit does not fly here, even though we're the same company.
