    College Football 2019 - 2020 Season

    The time between the spring games and fall camps truly is the long dark tea time of the soul. So, Alabama, Clemson and who else in the playoff this year?

    Data analyst has been my primary search criteria, I’ll look in to the BI stuff and see what companies are looking for. Thanks for the responses and input, sucks to hate my job this much, but pretty sure it’s not going to get better at this point.

    Job Hunting

    Understood, and gathered that from the other thread which is why it’s more of a passing fancy - seems it’s more like being an actor in that you land a job, work your ass of to complete the project and then your done. Your resume is what you’ve gotten released, kind of like an IMDB of game...

    Epic is right up the road. I think Funcom also has an office in that area. I’ve dabbled with C++. I think systems/design, I’m good at thinking through how changes might impact other aspects and anticipating responses. I like puzzles and problem solving.

    Job Hunting

    I think it's probably the best way to use what I all ready know. Hell, I'd love to develop games, but I need to find a job that continues to pay the bills first. Two kids in college next year is going to be painful (though my wife makes good money and loves her job.)

    Job Hunting

    Most of what I've done is database related, pulling data from our AS400 to Access through linked tables and creating reports because our IT guys spend too much time telling me why we don't need them. I've also done some simple automation using Excel and Microsoft Query to allow people who don't...

    No doubt I'm willing to learn, and there are a lot of job opportunities in the RTP, just need to determine what's the best way to break in.

    I just want to work where people aren’t spending more time trying to figure out how to blame someone else for a problem than they do trying to solve the problem... been at this job 22 years and it’s been downhill for the last four. I’m bearing down on 50 so if there’s any chance for a career...

    Job Hunting

    I’ve finally started seriously looking for a job as my current company had our majority owners pull all the equity out and cripple us in terms of cash flow. I haven’t seen a raise in years, partly because a significant part of my income was disbursements to stockholders and yearly bonuses, and...

    College Football 2018-2019 Season

    Has he taken any prep courses or practice tests? Results vary depending on the individual but some see solid improvement. I have seen some of his updates but honestly I’m not on Twitter much. My son is going DII, not a full ride but did get enough between merit and athletic to get the costs...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I’ve found that the best way to get a point across to my wife is to have someone else make it, preferably some Facebook friend of hers or a female family member. I can say something to her and it just bounces off, but someone in her FB feed could post verbatim what I said 15 minutes later and...

    Yeah that doesn't seem right but I can't say for sure... the one good thing is new picks for LGuk spawn on a fairly low count.

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    Yeah when I get a group there is usually another charm pet going, I’ve been in groups with 3 charm pets chewing through mobs - that and competition for pulls makes it madness briefly and then waiting for the puller who is waiting for stuff to pop...

    No one respects camps - they do not acknowledge camps exist. Daybreak has by default said DPS > all, and it has been embraced by the krono farmer.

    Agree with this - RMT has more negative impact on TLPs than anything else.

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    Thanks thought so - at 18 I joined a group a few levels higher in MR in Unrest and they ended up moving to FP, sucks being unable to mez anything and having to find a charm pet than can actually hit mobs that are all red.

    Went to Costco yesterday and they had cases of Pernicious for $35 that were bottled less than two weeks ago... at 7.3% ABV I’ll have to pace myself.

    It’s slower but still moving well right now thanks to the bonus xp. I’ve been able to log on for short stints and solo and it feels productive.

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    Yeah these servers couldn’t come at a worse possible time for me right now - just as well, I’ll skip the worst BS and just level up with the casuals I guess and buy kronos with plat eventually.

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    Thanks - on Agnarr I was behind the initial push so just buying enchanter spells was fairly simple - going to need Mesmerization so when the puller brings 8 in lower Guk and drags his target right on top of me I can mez myself.

    Glad to hear what the coach did Dirk, too many just want to ignore the situation and hope to get through the season. My last year coaching my son in football we had a girl on our team and she was good enough to play both defensive end and offensive tackle (playing at twelve in Pop Warner with...

    2019 NFL Offseason: Chargers Started Early

    He can catch, and that straight line speed and strength will force DBs to play off him which will help. I was surprised at those low measurables on the change of direction stuff though.

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    I’m probably going to roll on this server just to roll through old zones again, just trying to decide between enchanter or cleric - I never knew how incredibly boring classic raiding is for chanters unless charm pets are available. Loved grouping as an enchanter though, except when we had a...
