1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I mean, talking about getting a PhD to working a low paying, thoughtless job then sure

 

I need to find a new seat for the crawler my spine is in shambles

 

it says 50-70k, no weekends

 

I only have an MS now

 

If I had a degree, I'd rather be making much more than that.

Even with no degree.

 

Re-watching the Exorcist

As an executive?

 

I did grad school… it got me a couple extra years to find a job

Seems the salary doesn't match the position/title

 

A good seat does wonders

 

You kinda have to know somebody to get hired quickly.

 

Yeaaah and I got out of undergrad in the middle of the 2008 recession. Everything was sucky.


My career since has been a fun ride.

 

Good stuff!

 

Oh yea at that time people with PhDs and 10 years of experience were applying for entry level jobs, so new grads were kinda screwed unless they had a connection somewhere.

 

Only the real ones know



Haven't had these in years

 

Had someone bring me this today. Looks very similar to the computers I worked on for the Texas DOT in their road material/asphalt testing labs. The person swears the PC has been sitting in their office since new and they've never done any drywall stuff near it.

I had to replace two fans that were making awful noises. Which was a common thing to fail in those test labs lol. I've been asked to install an M.2 SSD and dual boot CentOS and Windows 10. Technically not Win 11 compatible with a 6th gen i7.

 

yeaaa

Unfortunately I think my options are pretty limited by seat thickness which probably means my comfort is limited too

I had WRX seats for the Tacoma but they were waaaaay too tall

 

Took Dex to a new doggo park today, met this Siberian Husky/German Shepherd behemoth and they spent a good 20 min duking it out Clash of the Titans style. Dex was covered in so much saliva after he needed a bath



They had this fake rubber pellet pseudo wood chip flooring for the playground next to it that we did afterwards... was watching Sofia for a bit then looked at him and he was chowing down on the stuff like it was kibble. Freakin doofus, made him spit out what I could but hopefully that doesn't mess him up

 

Send 'er off with a bottle of Selsun Blue when you're done
