Bigger,

Have you considered a career not in IT? Or perhaps IT in Indiana?

Most of the questions are really technical and it is stuff you never need to know in a job setting.

I really don't know.

There were some questions about some technology that is new that I don't know much about that I just need to brush up on. I can score better with a little study.

His diffuse thinning is very frontal center and really slow. This is what that ends up looking like, his hair is a little more fluffed up then usual too it looks like, which is giving the illusion of a more flat hair line. The video isn't great quality either.

Now I have to do a skype interview only my camera only gets the top of my head. I'll probably spend all night trying to figure out how to adjust it, give up, and just stand up during the interview.

1 million times this. I'm not sure about IT if you keep having so much trouble with very "first level" issues.

Home construction/remodeling projects perhaps.

Kstarr's hairline wasn't as noticeable as the reservoirs under his arms.
11-04-2014 , 09:56 PM
LOL I caught that too..and I think he was subconsciously hiding as well. We all do that.

Apparently it is impossible to adjust the camera. I hate computers.

$250k + however much it costs to pay for someone's brain transplant.

$350.25M just for giving someone brain cancer? Maybe QB was onto something here.

Yeah, I think we were just half joking when we said he should guide people through the hell that is Austin building processes.

Yeah, I mean, I dno, I guess some % of IT is muddling your way through no matter what. I just imagine you having to muddle your way through literally 99% of all of it Mr. Magoo style.

Are you really into an IT job or a programming job of some sort?
11-04-2014 , 11:05 PM
IIRC he's been doing it for ~20 years

Which I mean - if you get used to your specific job and the general IT landscape is transforming a lot over that period of time then stepping out of that specific job can be difficult because you've built up a very specific skill set that won't translate broadly.

Bigger,

While you are searching for a real job have you thought of supplementing your income with live poker?

If you have some math skills and card sense I can teach you O8B. I have it on good authority you can grind $8/hr in this game in so cal.
