Hugh Mughnus Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I just got a call from a company (real company with 16bn annually in sales) asking if I was interested in being an Ops Supervisor. I don't have my resume posted online and I didn't apply for this position. This is the same thing that happened with my current employer! I never applied they just called lol.

Guest uptown devil Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 i have to set photoshop to run in 32 bit mode every time i want to use lighting effects (as they aren't available in 64 bit mode in OSX), and then switch it back to 64 bit mode directly after (this requires a restart of the program). http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WS82af097c4236e2eb70aae8412fa75dc285-8000.html what a pain in the dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Mughnus Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) Maybe I should have been more clear. Now I have to decide between working at my current job where I am just getting comfortable and learning a new job that pays marginally more but has more opportunities for upward mobility. Also, I want to ask where these people are getting my resume because it's weird. The division manager at my current employer moved on shortly after he hired me so I didn't have an opportunity to ask. Seemed pretty FWP to me! Stephen-Fail.... And Lopez I'm a student too get off your cunt and get a job lol Calls from recruiters/headhunters who call you at your current job are so fucking dangerous. how come? Not a loaded question. I just don't know why they would be dangerous? Edited October 24, 2012 by StephenG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweepstakes Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 - I feel stupid. My attention span has become noticeably shorter - I can't find enough time to play with my new toy - I can't find enough time to get started w/ Android development which apparently is a bitch to setup in Ubuntu, at least for my dumb ass. - I still can't find any tunes as rich as Autechre or Gescom but that's all I seem to want to listen to and I've heard it all a million times so I'm kind of sick of it. Everything else is too simple or corny or something. - Conflicted between feeling like I've become an asshole and feeling like I'm still not assertive enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't know why they would be dangerous? My boss fired the last girl who picked up an unsolicited call from a recruiter. Her unwillingness to slam down the phone and scream "I AM A LOYAL EMPLOYEE I SERVE ONLY THEE" was apparently a problem. It's the joy of being an at-will employee.

Wow your boss sounds like a gaping vagina... ! (No offense.. he might be a nice guy..) That's terrible, people should be able to freely explore their options. My employment contract doesn't include any exclusivity clauses so I should be ok, I hope. Edited October 25, 2012 by StephenG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed pretty FWP to me! Stephen-Fail.... Still not seeing how that's a problem. lol. Oh no - I might have to move from my cush job to one that's even more cush! I'm just bitter cause I'm doing manual fucking labour 3 days a week, the BC government is on a hiring freeze, and i want a real job. At least it's not below zero in Vancouver though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's been about -8 or so the last few days, and it snowed quite a bit (about 25cm) on Monday. I'm sure you know how Calgary drivers get as soon as theres a tiny bit of white on the ground!

Zephyr_Nova Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I know I shouldn't be drinking coffee at 10PM since it will probably keep me up until 5am and I need to be up around 9ish for a session, but I just hate wasting coffee and by tomorrow morning it will be too gross to drink. So I'm opting for sleep dep over not enjoying this coffee right now. I also just don't seem to care about the future me, so... whatever, he can deal with it.
