a) That's really cool.

b) Newgrounds is still around?

So the recruiter's a fucking moron. Long story short, she didn't tell the company I'm supposed to interview with on Wed. about the fact that I'm out of state. She seriously expected that if they made me an offer I'd be able to give 2 weeks notice and relocate immediately after completion of said 2 weeks. She also finally decided to tell me that there is no relocation being offered AT ALL for this position. So I told her to fuck off. In those words. I don't need to deal with someone who's that big of an idiot. She said she'd cancel the interview and would keep me in mind if another opportunity arose. I told her to fuck off again.

I'm still thinking of driving to MD tomorrow, though. I made plans to go to dinner with a friend I haven't seen since I moved to NC, and I really don't want to break the plans. Plus, I've already booked the hotel, and the boy's going with me, so it could be a good little getaway for a night. I just don't know if it's really a good idea to waste the time off or the money on gas/food/hotel.

I'm also incredibly irate at the moment, which is never a good mindset to make a decision in.

holy hell that's beyond bullshit

I can't think clearly.

Should I still go to have dinner with a friend and a night away with the boy?

Honestly, while we've taken trips back to Indiana to visit his family, we haven't had a "just us" night away from this place since we moved here. Part of me thinks it could be good for us, and part of me can't justify it.

Thoughts?

Yes.  Best thing to do after someone elses incompetence makes you bitter is kick standard day-to-day life in the testicles. 

I concur with the kicking of the testicles.

I can't bring myself to justify the cost of the trip with the expense of the wedding coming up. That and the fact it's supposed to be rain/snow the entire trip if I go. I'm thinking about just taking the days off and maybe going to a movie or out to dinner/lunch instead. It would be less expensive, but still a break from the norm.

not really... that's how the market is right now.

it's fucking annoying...

one of the main reasons i hate hate hate hate HR...

they are fucking dumb...

you wouldn't believe the number of replies i get, asking if i'm local, when my address is clear on my resume.

and the number of people who balk when i tell them 3-4 weeks to relocate...

on top of that, relo bonuses are pretty fucking rare these days...

Yeah, well, the recruiter's manager is getting up at the buttcrack of dawn tomorrow to make calls to the UK to see if they're still interested, then he's going to call me by 10am (which is when I told him I'd have to know by in order to make Wed). Doesn't really matter, though, because when he calls back, even if there's interest, I'm going to tell him thanks but no thanks. I figure he wasted my time, so I should waste his.

And now I have 2 days off during which I intend to do a heck of a lot of nothing.

Few things are more annoying than having to reboot the router in order to make your morning calls.  Sometimes I hate the information age.

wait you reset everything I did last night?

goddamnit.

soft reset, not hard reset.  Although if I needed hard reset to get it up again, I would have done that.  if I get up at the godforsaken hour of 9:00 to call a client and the phone system is working,

Although as a result of your hard reset, I can't ssh to my box to get my email or check my voice.  If I told you once, I told you a thousand times, port 222 -> 192.168.1.5:22

ok...I just skimmed across the frontpage of HuffPost and low and behold:

I notified you last night of the hard reset and you said all of zero.  Therefore I moved on with my evening.

ROAR

I told you to tell me if you reset the port forwarding.  All you said was "I'm unfucking the network"

what, no blow on the stoned airline passenger drops pants, attacks crew bit?

do i need to put you two in the octagon?

Not everything is about pantslessness

There is no pantslessness.
