Title: Describe your current life with Doom difficulty settings and why
Post by: mojovonio on June 20, 2011, 10:09:44 AM: Ultra-Violence

Right now, I'm grinding the stone, working on my LinkedIn, Resume, Cover letters, hitting up recruiters constantly, going to networking get togethers, hoping to find a job.

Its scary as hell but exhilarating at the same time.

Post by: muckhole on June 20, 2011, 10:49:14 AM: Definitely Ultra-Violence at the moment. It's been a pretty shit year, but things definitely could be worse. 2011 also appears to be The Year that Everything Breaks™. On the plus side of that, I've learned how to fix things I never would have otherwise, which is always handy, so I can't complain too much.

Its scary as hell but exhilarating at the same time.

This fully defines my life right now. On top of that, if I DON'T find a job here by December my ass with be kicked by to America and that will effectively end the 1 year 4 month relationship I am in.

Time to get on the grind HARD. Last week I sent in 5 applications / cover letters and this weekend I am going to two different career forums. :punch

Really hopeful (yet at the same time insanely uncertain) about one prospect, but won't know for sure until August 15. FUCK. At least the stress has me running ~4x/week again.

and boozing 4x/week, lolz

Post by: T234 on June 20, 2011, 05:02:13 PM: Nightmare.

The dude who I did a favor for to not go to jail over the porn store citations died of a heart attack yesterday, and today I found out that he hadn't talked to the county attorney on my behalf at all. I can't find a legit job and there are currently 200+ federal agents in my town currently, so my other job has become near-nonexistent and will continue to be for quite awhile. Can't hardly get a legit job due to the porn store citations either. If I can't find a job before my court date, I'm gonna end up taking a contract to go work in the coal mines for two years. 14 hours a day, 6 days a week (with no possibility of vacation AT ALL) for two years. The only light at the end of the tunnel is the possibility of getting my blasting card after the end of the first year in the mines. If you have that card, your minimum pay is 40 dollars an hour, which ain't bad money for anybody (except bebpo, attorney at law).

Post by: chronovore on June 20, 2011, 06:36:13 PM: "I'm too young to die!" - Life is a cakewalk. After 9 years of Nightmare, I reset my difficulty level so I could finish the game without too much frustration. My contract ends on September 30. After that, I'll be starting a new campaign on "Ultra-Violence" -- so there will likely be some piddling around in a demo level on "Nightmare" difficulty for a month.

Post by: T234 on June 20, 2011, 07:48:23 PM: I dunno, I'm almost tempted to talk to his heir (who is similarly powerful now that his dad is dead) about this.

This whole thing is major league fucked. I both love and hate this town. Twelve months ago, I could've made 2000 dollars on a good month. Now I can't even make enough money to buy fireworks this year.

Almost tempted? what the fuck. Get off your ass, talk to his son, take care of this shit NOW so that by your court date you don't have any questions.

Post by: T234 on June 20, 2011, 08:16:36 PM: That means I'll probably have to do him a favor, and he's involved in way, waaay crazier shit than his old man was. The favor would probably end up being something much worse than me threatening a pedo organization, which was what the first favor entailed.

Title: Re: Describe your current life with Doom difficulty settings and why
Post by: T234 on June 20, 2011, 11:09:31 PM: I don't even actually break the law. I relay messages between people who can't be seen together.

But good point, Imma edit that out.

Post by: T234 on June 20, 2011, 11:52:43 PM: At one time in my life I was followed by ATF agents for six months. You wanna know what happened, nothing, because I didn't break the law. They even had an agent get a job at the same place where I worked.

I'm done talking about this.

This. I'm not saying a cop is going to use posts as evidence in a court case. But they could easily use them to track you down and wait for you to fuck up.

You keep saying the town is crawling with agents so I'm baffled at these various casual admissions of wrong doing. You're probably going to jail regardless though :-\

Post by: ch1nchilla on June 25, 2011, 11:05:26 AM: Knocking on wood, but things could be looking up! Went to a career forum today and had 3 interviews with a major financial firm followed by a dinner reception (only 9 other students invited). Interview number four is tomorrow: FIGHT.

Also got a response on an application I sent to another financial consulting firm today, and I sent that shit yesterday. :punch Gonna set up an interview for that as well.

I don't want to get super excited about job opp number one, because I imagine it is insanely competitive. A good experience nonetheless. If I DO get that job though, it's ON. :pimp
