How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

This database class I'm taking has a 200+ page textbook. Nothing wrong with that on its own but over the course of 60+ (actual tech credits, not geneds) credits I'm gonna end up reading like 5000 pages of shit, as well as do all of this lab work, etc etc. How the fuck does all of this, culminating into a bachelor's degree only get you an interview?

Typing it out 5000 pages isn't that much over the span of a few years but god dayumn...

I have a PhD, because I’m an idiot, and every company I’ve ever worked for crows about how many PhDs and MDs they employ in my job and yet simultaneously when you speak to recruiting they pull owned faces and tell you that they hate PhDs because they’re all useless fuckers with am inflated sense of their own worth.
I guess the degree is just a bit of paper that shows you can do certain things at a certain level. It doesn’t say you can do the job (which is its own problem and of course any sort of move to make such degrees more useful is let with screeching indignation all round…)

If it takes you 2 mins to read one page that's like 21 eight hour work days in reading. If you treat school like a job and it's really not asking for that much of your time over the course of literal years tbh. It's more an issue of most people have fried attention spans where reading long form is torture now.

TL;DR

How am I doing? I'm doing GREAT. I'm writing code, well, no, I'm rewriting code, not sure if it came from an AI or an Indian, but it's horrible.

I agree. I'd push back on the 2 mins per page in my case only because its legitimate technical information. Don't wanna shit on other majors but I'm sure its easier to read shakespeare/sports exercise textbooks than it is reading about UNION syntax and why the fuck you would want to use it over (inner/outer/left/right) JOIN for database tables

But I will admit, even I've taken hit on my attention span, on skibidi kirk or something like that. I'm actually finishing this class up pretty fast all things considered, I'm just upset that I don't get to play video games all day and actually have to read a textbook lol.
 
1. I love trolling scam callers
2. Cried at a movie today, I rarely cry at movies, I've only done it like thrice I think. It was The Long Walk, idk what it is about that ending, it just got me insanely in my feels.
 
Got 5 days off coming up after two days of work.
It has been getting quiet around my apartment surroundings lately and for a bit now. I notice that the tenants closest to me on the same hallway, appear to be gone for extensive periods, which make me think they're truly gone. That makes me happy because they were both nigger tenants who made their own level of noise. One of which was a nigger couple who did so much noise, I ended up having to evacuate from my own bedroom and convert my living room into a hybrid because of their entitled asses.

Though I doubt the reason they left is because of that, because that was like 4 months ago. Which is starting to annoy me the more I think of it because I really did report all that I could on those dumbshits and nothing seems to be getting done about them. So, I wouldn't be surprised if they left because their lease was up, just another bunch of shitstains around here getting off lightly on being the fucktards that they are, annoying everyone by just existing.

Not sure if I want to take back that room yet or not, if I do, I'll have to clean it out and re-purpose where I'm storing things.
 
A few years ago I got into a few religious/philosophical debates with someone online. Basically, the details of this don't matter, because I still remember the shock he had when I told him I was a woman, and he straight up told me that he thought I was a "low testosterone soyboy." To this day I don't know what to make of it.
 
Enjoying my new job, as it's relatively easy except for one thing, that I have absolutely learned to hate companies for. They use EXCEL for god damn everything.

I get it, it's cheap and promises to do everything you need, which isn't a lie. But the hidden truth is EXCEL is fucking god awful. You have to build specific tables with the perfect setup to get the info you want, or memorize massive key combos to make the tables do what you want them to. And with a single update or change, it can wreck the entire damn process. Plus it over complicates the easiest of things.

Example: Part of my job is putting into a file how many label changes I did over the night. Can I just alter the number and leave it at that? Hell no, I have to put =34+9 (as an example) or it breaks the whole damn thing. Why? Why is this a thing? If I go to fast and say instead =34=9 the entire thing seems to go full tard and break.

I started out on ancient green screen line commands and inputs, and frankly that shit was 100% a cakewalk compared to this trash. Especially since there are good, cheap, and reliable newer softwares that do exactly want you want without requiring new people to memorize ctrl+shift+13 button lines to get the info you fucking want. But fuck no, EXCEL is the best!

I am ranting now as I got my ass kicked all week at work trying to learn a hundred functions and key combos, all while going "Ya know paper and pencil would be more efficient than this shit...."

My favorite is I Never Told You What I Do For A Living

Thread Tax: A bit annoyed, I bought some Costco udon and my dad scares the shit out of me by claiming that he's seen A BUUUNCH of videos saying that it's SUPER unhealthy. I look and all I saw were asians saying it was good and two journos complaining about high sodium. Gave me a heart attack for nothing.

A relative of mine wouldn't wash cups/glasses. Just rinse with a but of water at best. All the cups in the house had a thick brown layer at the bottom from being unwashed. She washed dishes fine but would exclude cups for some reason.

Some people are a bad combination of really crotchety and bad at learning good cleaning habits.
 
My secretary (well, my boss' secretary, really :story:) fucked up making an appointment for me for something that was kind of very fucking important and i am quite pissed off about it, i have been waiting for longer than a month to get this particular thing over with.
Just went there, talked to the receptionist, had to spell my name out three times (i do not have a complicated or uncommon first nor last name), only be told, yeah, you're not in the system and we don't even give appointments out at this time of the day. Asked me if i was sure if i called their number and not one of the three other subsidiaries they have in town, couldn't even answer that, because i did not make the call myself. Have to head to work at noon, i hope they won't even think about giving me shit for this because i am not in the mood for it at all, error is clearly not on my side, secretard had literally one job and messed it up.

Came home to find my dog had eaten three cans of baked beans while I was at work.

How the fuck did he get them open? Did he bite the metal until beans came out?
