So I found a job that fit my stack perfectly
I phoned the CEO and we had a mini phone interview, it was easy
And the next day I had an offline interview
It was fast as fuck. I answered all of the questions, showed my projects and we were done in 30 mins, pretty good huh
So the CEO tells me to wait a week
It's strange but ok
The week passes, and you guess what
"We can't hire you, you psychological portrait does not fit in our team..."
I'm like bitch, what the fuck
I had declined other offer cuz I though there was no reason not to hire me
Also this is a small company tho, I should've saw it coming 😐12 -
Today I fucked Up by making friend install Linux when he doesn't even know what OS is.
Friend's Windows 7 broke. Unbootable & unfixable. I told him to reinstall. He has no idea how so he told me he will rent a PC (apparently that's a thing) until he buys a new one (he wanted it anyways). I told him it's bullshit to rent for PC when yours is totally ok only without OS.
He agreed and that's where I fucked Up. I told him how to make bootable flash disks(it was pain to get some info from him tho..) and he said he downloaded cracked Win7.. I told him it's suicide to use cracked OS for MANY fucking reasons. He agreed and I told him to install Ubuntu.... I thought it's easy that even my grandma could use it...... Well, apparently I was, in technical terms, "FUCKING WRONG"(all caps cuz tech terms).
He wasn't even able to Google how to install Steam on Ubuntu(apt install steam?) ... Constantly asking me "well and what should i write to Google?" And other shit..
I Always woke up to messages From him like "This shit doesn't work I'mma uninstall it" and I Always responed in one command or first Google result and it suddenly started to work.
After 2 days he gave up and is using cracked Win7. Can't wait for his reaction when I pwn him on nearest LAN party 😂 Maybe he will reconsider using cracked OS.
Anyway I learn from my Mistake. Just fuck me...4 -
I now leave my work IM status as "Away". It's the only way people leave me alone so I can get work done...*shrug* ☺1

Jesus and I just freaked myself out real real bad due to allergies and unfortunate drug cocktail holy shit that was an extremely unpleasant 45 minutes of my life
so apparently coffee inhibits the enzyme that recycles histamines (and you make histamines when you have allergies)
I woke up today, did gardening, turns out my allergies are back. was making a kettle of hot water for tea and coffee while gardening. aired out the apartment also (aka aired the allergies in)
drank the coffee. then my head felt like it was gonna explode. the inflammation was just squeezing my damned brain. did a bunch of airplane ear pressure maneuvers and it basically cleared up the worst of it. 5 hours later I STILL have porcupine prick feels on my face from the pollen. that's kind of weird generally it takes 1-2 hours for my allergies to subside
made food, had dinner. the EXACT same meal as yesterday with the exact same supplements as yesterday
20 minutes after I eat and put everything away... my nose suddenly clears, my ears are clear. crazy! these have been fucked for like 7 days for me now.
30 minutes. yeah my inflammation went down so much I started cold sweating... adrenaline is pumping. my blood pressure is too low. my stomach is in knots (I only figured out what it was called after lol)
and then was the longest 15 minutes of my recent history. was freaking out, exercising, pacing, trying to keep my blood pressure up.
hahahahaha whoops
allergies > make histamines that cause inflammation
coffee > prevents recycling of histamines, so you get histamine backup all over your body which makes the inflammation even worse
cysteine with dinner > gets converted into glutathione in your body which is a strong anti oxidant. which will reduce inflammation and all the good stuff (though if you OD you'll bleed to death. it's ok tho it's like x10 the normal dose and I take 1/2 the normal dose. I took this yesterday and didn't even feel it!)
well the coffee caused so much inflammation I peed out like 2 litres of water
coffee also apparently makes you make more glutathione than normal!
... so when I ate that cysteine pill... all my inflammation from my cold/flu I've had for 7 days, AND the new discovered allergies, all dropped entirely... and my dehydrated ass' blood pressure dropped... holy fuck that was such a fucking unpleasant experience
I've never been a risk-averse person. one of the things that really attracted me to software is that you can try as many dumb ideas as you want and the only thing it will cost you is time. I grew up poor so that was important. in real life though, being risky is kinda risky. my fast and loose habits suck.
I say this but let's be fair... there is no way for you to predict this. just gotta hope you're strong enough to survive your every day living attempts I guess
