Backslash path separator puts Windows a distant third in my book. I'm glad they finally supported forward slash, but backwards compatibility is going to be a pain in the ass to support for decades to come.

So they gave me the most expensive laptop I've ever touched.

But it's a goddamn Mac.

Sigh. I think when they see "designer" in your title they just assume "oh yeah ... get him a Mac"

I shouldn't complain. You should see the ancient garbage I've had to use in other groups.

Beats getting a windows phone like I did once.

Who said anything about it being complicated? Its just annoying as fuck to maintain. Shit breaks all the damn time. And the interface is aids. No thnx.

You were talking about command line .... the interface is aids?!?! For command line?!?!

If it breaks, like I said, you need to just stick to Windows. OSX isn't some leet system because you have command line options that look like unix. It's training wheels on training wheels. Windows has actually a ton more functionality if you take the time to learn power shell. I hate Windows for any of that and I am saying that.

Jump into a real *nix system and stick with it and you would learn just how easy it can be when you don't give up instantly.

I said the command line is the only thing of use on a mac? The attraction is command line plus a very usable UI. I just got tired of constantly having compatibility and drivers issues, nothing to do with giving up instantly wtf.

Osx isn't bad. Maybe 15 years ago it was terrible but it felt great when I used it last year.

Did the in person interview. Only rambled once. Went very well, now we wait. I left it all on the field, boys.

I just had to press Command + Control + Shift + 3 to take a screenshot.

Is this Steve Jobs' idea of simplicity?

My son started a job last week. Got his first paycheck this week.

You'd think he was making six figures as happy as he was...Makes me so fucking proud.

I remember my first real job getting paid 5.95 / hour at a greenhouse. I spent it all on CDs.

I made $35/week to work 24/6 for 3 months at a time at age 15. First real job I made $3.35/hour. Yeah I'm old.

I had a paper route when I was like 12 or something and bought a dope ass Super Soaker once I had the cash flows. Fools got schooled.

My dad used to pay me a dollar a day to do ranch work. I should have called CPS on him.

My childhood paper route sucked so bad. I think I made $8 for at least 4 hours of work.

Shit's criminal

So, need some quick advice if anyone has time.

I applied for a few jobs a few weeks ago, basically have the job at Republic Services doing roll off dumpsters for SDI (subcontracted stuff) which is all fine and good but I've got another interview today with the Post Office. It's for part time work unfortunately, but I'd love to get full time there. I've talked to a few people who've gone part time to full time as a carrier for USPS and this is generally the route. How do I bring this up in the interview? Luckily (...) I'm a goddamn man-child and live at home with minimal expenses so I could afford the part time work for a while but I'm just getting too damn old for this. Do I take the sure thing or try to ride out the part time to full time at USPS? How do I bring this up in the interview?

Haven't received a job offer from Republic yet but it's being finalized by the recruiter atm. This should? be the only interview for this position as I've already done a few tests for USPS and they called me up to do an interview. I couldn't see a multiple round interview for such a small part time job.

edit: Interview is in ~ 2.5 hours :3
