It puts the “cool” in gherkin!

Eggy farts. Eggy farts aaall day long! Especially during the company meeting!

I tell myself that it’s not less hair, it’s more forehead! It doesn’t really help!

Every time I see this guy’s face I think: lobster social hierarchies. And then I laugh my ass off.

Ritualistic masturbation on top of a grave. The Greeks never disappoint, I swear!

Wow, what a healthy relationship. Also, thank you!

Which end of it, the putting cigarettes out, or the choking?

Oh, wow, this is an actual thing! Thank you kindly!

Thoroughly!

According to what I managed to find, Bieber put out his cigarette on Post Malone, so Malone choked him.

This was an almost creepy read, because you seem to have highlighted the very reason why I want out of IT and a desire I had swimming in the back of my mind for a while now!=))

Point one, it’s because I feel that the time I invest in my work ends up nowhere - especially in QA and given the tendency to not do actual QA during dev time anymore because more profits.

Point two, my physical labour background actually stems from several years spent at the countryside and doing honest to goodness agriculture. I miss those activities, from managing a rural household, to sewing and reaping significant amounts of grain, corn and potatoes. It never fully left me, and especially in the past several years it’s as though it started forming into a sort of desire. Maybe it’s time to actually look into it.

Thank you so much for these insights, you helped me figure out a bit of myself!

Heeey, I genuinely forgot about this option! Thank you!

I played around with the idea of trying my hand at a Psych or Philosophy degree, but these specialisations are… malnourished over here. Could try looking for stuff abroad, though. Thank you, on the list it goes!

Now that you mention it, I actually think I have an acquaintance who does CAD stuff:-? Unsure what, exactly, but couldn’t hurt to ask! Thank you for reminding me of this!

Thank you! I was actually considering this for a while, thought about trying to get hired by one of the bricolage chains, or something to that effect. Hell, scene setter at IKEA sounds like a dream at this point…

As far as a maintenance tech, I realised a couple of years ago that I missed my mark of becoming an IT tech person, just fix work machines and such. Nowadays it feels like most people use private services or buy new gear outright…

Y’know, construction was my initially desired career path in high-school, but mum was a construction engineer as well and told me she’d kill me if she caught me sniffing around. Guess it’s as good a time as any to defy unhealthy parental ‘advice’!

Mechanical engineer does not sound bad, either, a lotta figuring stuff out and working with my hands, both of which I enjoy!

To be very honest, I kinda’ tried to stay far away from the theatre scene. It’s really not what theatre’s supposed to be in our country, it’s mostly just a cult of personality, and, boy, are those personalities insufferable after a point… It was a painful break-up, though…

Have considered doing some stuff with ‘underground’ troupes or projects, but it’s either an exceedingly small market over here, or I’ve completely lost track of the domain.

Honestly, this is pretty much the opposite of what civil construction looks like in our neck of the woods. The roles are inversed, the veterans sit around, not even pretending to look busy, while the Junior works.

Would very much like to get paid to catch sparks. How cool does that sound for a job description!

Both interesting suggestions, didn’t get to do auditing for long because… abstract management drove things into the ground, come to think of it, will definitely keep it on the list! Thank you!

Although, to be perfectly honest, I think I’ll prioritise jobs where the most complex thing being done with a spreadsheet is keeping track of shelf stock=))

Thank you! I’ve had the immense fortune of landing into some horizontal movement potential, so I can fully quit my job for a while and just do life.

Volunteer work sounds good, thank you! And, yeah, if nothing else, think I could do with the change in social context as well.

Hope the skies open up above you and you’ll one day manage to turn that laptop into a fine powder!
