MEMBER SINCE: May 2008
occupation: I work for a video game developer.
body mods: A few holes in my head... nothing fancy.
crush: Too many
i lost my virginity: In a game of cribbage.
fantasy: Nah, I prefer Horror and Sci-Fi.... wait, you mean... oh.
makes me happy: Amazing conversations about weird things, peace and quiet, a nice moldy old building, and cats.
into: writing, photography, The Canucks, gaming, theology, urban exploration, giallo films, reading, cats, goth/sp00ky crap, conversing.
most humbling moment: Unfortunately, it changes daily.
makes me sad: Too much, probably.
sign: Taurus
gets me hot: Otters... no, not really. Jeez.
So, the good news is I got a job... sort of. It's a temp gig doing support on a FB game, but it actually pays more than my last job as a Software Test Engineer. Go figure.
However, I'm not a fan of some of the people. My new boss has made a couple of...pointed...references to my lack of formal education (HS Diploma, no college). You know, "I can't hire more people like you, because then the other departments would regard my department as a weak link". Shit like that. Today, I was asked if I'd ever taken an English class in my life. See, when emailing people in a situation where I'm trying to actually inform them of things I tend to break things into many paragraphs. I know how people read, and if you space things out they tend to see/retain more of it then they do when, say, skipping over a big block of text like you all probably just did, savvy?
This is the age of "tl;dr", after all...
Anyway, if it's easier to insinuate that I'm a fucking retard, whatever...
So, this has me thinking. Perhaps I should find some way to expand my *formal* education, eh? Because this would be a perfect time to go over 100k in debt for a piece of paper, right?
