iced depresso (icedquinn@blob.cat)'s status on Thursday, 23-May-2024 03:58:56 JST iced depresso the awkward moment when someone just feels bad on the regular and they express literally any interest in going outside or doing something nice and all you do is just savage them
"why are you worried about posters quinn not like you use your bed anyway"
"why are you worried about compass watches not like you really go outside"
:comfy: has it occured to you that the chores you want done don't happen because all you do is shit on the person you want to do them-

iced depresso (icedquinn@blob.cat)'s status on Thursday, 23-May-2024 03:59:48 JST iced depresso i mentioned casually finding a casio with a built-in compass and was like
:blobcataww: this is super cool because i'm highly at risk of getting lost and its like you always have a compass to help
kinda wasn't expecting to get savaged for appreciating something but whatever -

iced depresso (icedquinn@blob.cat)'s status on Thursday, 23-May-2024 04:46:04 JST iced depresso @freon idk to some extent i've heavily checked out of trying to help anyone or fix anything :blobcatlaydown:
they're trying to rail me back off to college again and its just like, no, never going back. (this is not true i've entertained the idea of going back in an online-only capacity, but heavily conditionally, i just can't say this because they don't listen and just hear 'college' and autopilot takes over with nags)
we had a tradeoff system with cooking and cleaning that syncopated and she won't do anything now because "i'm tired of cooking" and its like well then clean, simple as.
i ask if she played with her fancy new DSLR and all i get is bullshit about "did you clean your room" and its like you know what, i actually don't need your shit. i was taking an interest in the fact you spent a chunk of money on a photomachine and i could absolutely not give any less fucks about whatever autopilot nags you're throwing up as some kind of defensive screen :blobcatdunno:
i told a guy at $job i didn't appreciate being denigrated for trying to get him to use standard practices for everyone's benefit and the corp strung up a pile of excuses to fire me.
i just dun fuckin care anymore :neocat_melt: -

iced depresso (icedquinn@blob.cat)'s status on Thursday, 23-May-2024 04:55:25 JST iced depresso @nicholas @freon i just have negative desire to do gen. ed., and this has only gotten worse as schools have gotten increasingly woke.
i am here to learn how to engineer, i am not here to pay 500$ to listen to how bad black people had it two hundred years ago. -

Nicholas Conrad (nicholas@aklp.club)'s status on Thursday, 23-May-2024 04:55:26 JST Nicholas Conrad I really enjoyed WSU's online program for what it's worth. I was a college dropout for many years (and a high-school dropout before that (well, more of like the school dropped me (well, I was "home schooled" and then my mom developed a pill problem after her divorce))); felt good to finally tick that box. -

iced depresso (icedquinn@blob.cat)'s status on Thursday, 23-May-2024 05:00:17 JST iced depresso @freon i kinda don't care about ants because they don't really cause me any harm :neocat_melt:
i mean i'll wipe up the floor or something but there used to be times they went through a highly industrious and arduous route to steal my cola and by that point i was just more impressed than anything -

freon (freon@oasys.earth)'s status on Thursday, 23-May-2024 05:00:18 JST freon @icedquinn@blob.cat the fridge in our laundry room had a spill that caused a trail of ants to appear, they never breach the cold and just accumulate in one of the bottom (empty) humidity drawers and every time i look near the edge of the door i still see two or three ants crawling around
i could have wiped them out a while back but im genuinely allowing it out of spite -

iced depresso (icedquinn@blob.cat)'s status on Thursday, 23-May-2024 05:02:14 JST iced depresso @nicholas @freon i don't really think the papers are worth anything. societal cancer at best.
i mentioned looking at getting scrum certified while i was employed and thats become a familiar obligation now because lets nag quinn all the god damn time
problem is i only wanted it to abuse people with it (look at me i literally have papers saying i know what i'm doing and you don't, fuck you) and that's not really a good place to be -

Nicholas Conrad (nicholas@aklp.club)'s status on Thursday, 23-May-2024 05:02:15 JST Nicholas Conrad Yup, none (well, vanishingly small amount) of that nonsense at WGU and the 'go your own pace' structure worked really well for me while full-time jobbing. I did it during the pandemic though, might be more of a life imposition now that people can do things and go places 🤷♀️ IDK, I still plan to go back for m6 masters next year. -

iced depresso (icedquinn@blob.cat)'s status on Thursday, 23-May-2024 05:04:43 JST iced depresso @nicholas @freon if forced in to picking one i told them i'd rather just pick up a PMP. everyone hears scrum or agile and they know they're about to get a feckless retard bombarding them with meetings and everyone will call it "scrum" but it won't actually have any of the autonomy, flat structure, or scrum master helping anyone, its just management fucking around.
people see project manager and they don't know what to think yet
