Double post

i've seen a more than a few people do this, edit the first of the double posts to say 'double post' and keep the second one with the intended content

i've always done it the other way around, edit out the second post or just delete it

Tomorrow's my interview. Now how to be interviewed without blemishing anything and not get hired when I'm already a lock to be hired...

Post #3948 » by **Slava** » Sun Feb 22, 2015 4:45 am

From yesterday evening:

2x cardio in the bed
4 glasses of 100 proof Bourbon
woke up with a hangover
chicken sandwich + 1 scoop of ice cream
one bottle of Gatorade
workout
post workout blowy
nap
20 chicken wings
ending the night with a small tub of Häagen-Dazs

Spoiler:

Haven't had such a good sequence since I was 23.

Is the ice cream to eat away your feelings?

Post #3950 » by **Slava** » Sun Feb 22, 2015 6:38 am

No to keep the high going. That's as good a run as I'm gonna get without snorting coke off of an escort's butt and I don't have the cash for it.

What do you do for a living anyways?

Interview done. So I'll be away and relocated and can go home only 2x a month.

Screw that.

EArl · Post #3954 » by **EArl** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 9:14 am

So you're taking it?

where? contract or permanent?

tugs · Post #3956 » by **tugs** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 3:49 pm

Could be permanent but you never know in a profit oriented field.

No EArl. But it seems they are willing to pay me 4x what I'm earning now.

tugs · Post #3957 » by **tugs** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 3:51 pm

Oh. It's a 6 hour drive from home (no traffic). But they require me to be there overseeing field trials and also coordinating with other areas from all over the country.

that sounds pretty cool. will they be tight w/ expenses or do they have the money to allow you to travel back and forth if you're forced to go away for 5-6 weeks?

also what field are you in? i'm just generally interested in networking.

EArl · Post #3959 » by **EArl** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 10:36 pm

tugs is a rice paddy farmer.

tugs · Post #3960 » by **tugs** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 11:07 pm

I'm not sure if they'll be covering my housing expenses but they'll be giving me a new car, a revolving fund for travels that will cover travel expenses, and of course my salary.

I'll be shifting to a more diverse field that does not only include rice but also most, if not all, major crops.

You can say from a rice farmer to a insect ghost buster EArl. :lol:

The offer is actually nice but it suits single people, not those who are starting a family.
