@werecupine hello from the north end!
re: more other-job-types wondering
@frost but like if you could survive on that money I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Like even though some customers are terrible I still feel like I'm doing something, even if small, for people, rather than just oh hey I help x huge organization make money.
re: more other-job-types wondering
@frost It's pretty okay. The grossest part is if you're working an espresso machine, it's easy to spill grounds on your hand while cleaning the filter which is kinda oorgh. And I mean the typical food service stuff like having to clean bathrooms etc. Honestly the worst part is it's still food service, so it does get busy and doesn't pay that well.
@frost My *opinion* is no, you shouldn't. Call center is everything you hate about retail and answering the phone, and my last run in with it was emotionally brutal. Working at Target or Safeway is probably emotionally easier.
I think it'd be useful to have a resume for more generic stuff which would simply detail on programming experience.
@GoodNewsGreyShoes Hey thanks!
@Chip_Unicorn actually more 10-20 but there's no way I would have known it at that point

I hold my breath to watch you swing

I've got my telescope head in the haystack
I'm getting tired of your dodgeball circus act

The Mummy Returns, commentary
SOMETIME IN THE LATE 1990s
"okay, so the first movie had a half-decayed priest returned as a nearly unstoppable death machine wielding potent magics. What'll get people into theaters for 'Mummy II'?"
"what if we explore our heroes mythic origins?"
"eh."
"what if they're a heartwarming family who adventures together?"
"family friendly. Sure."
"what if you had smokingly hot people of EVERY POSSIBLE GENDER?"
"hm."
"kids like steampunk and undead pygmies?"
"okay..."
"what if you had an UNDEAD ARMY OF ANTHRO JACKALS as an excuse to do a Lawrence of Arabia fight?"
