| nisshh | blahdeblah, truth is, ive been jobless for nearly 3 years | 00:13 |
|---|---|---|
| nisshh | gone to over 115 job interviews in that time, nothing | 00:13 |
| nisshh | not a single one got me a job | 00:13 |
| ikt | that's not good | 00:14 |
| ikt | how old are you? | 00:14 |
| nisshh | ikt, nah it sucks | 00:14 |
| nisshh | im 19 | 00:14 |
| ikt | oh that's not so abd | 00:14 |
| nisshh | it is when you have parents like mine | 00:15 |
| ikt | drats :/ | 00:15 |
| ikt | are you unable to get a temporary low end job while you study? | 00:15 |
| nisshh | but seriously, people keep telling me to stay positive and such, but i dare anyone to go for that many interviews and still be positive | 00:15 |
| nisshh | i am currently not studying | 00:15 |
| nisshh | my last college enrolment got rejected | 00:16 |
| nisshh | so im doing nothing till midyear | 00:16 |
| nisshh | ikt, i used to have a job, but i had it for about 4 weeks and a dude came along with an engineering degree and they let me go | 00:17 |
| nisshh | and hired him instead | 00:17 |
| ikt | :/ | 00:17 |
| nisshh | this is really quite sad | 00:17 |
| ikt | if you've got some certs why not go for something like phone monkey/ | 00:17 |
| nisshh | but ive actually been refused a job at macca's | 00:17 |
| ikt | even just while you look for a better job | 00:18 |
| nisshh | at this point, im just trying to get *a* job and keep it :) | 00:18 |
| nisshh | im so desperate at this point that im willing to get a job doing anything | 00:18 |
| ikt | go go internode phone monkey :D | 00:18 |
| ikt | impossible to fail | 00:19 |
| ikt | unless you're ikt | 00:19 |
| nisshh | heh, i dont think they have an office in WA | 00:19 |
| ikt | any wa isp? | 00:19 |
| nisshh | yeah, there are some small ones | 00:19 |
| nisshh | i think telstra has an office in perth | 00:19 |
| nisshh | but not sure about internode/iinet/etc | 00:20 |
| nisshh | ikt, i have 4 1/2 certs currently, one for mechanics and 3 1/2 for IT | 00:20 |
| nisshh | still means i dont have an engineering degree or such though | 00:21 |
| ikt | I'm 24 and just getting into cert 3 | 00:21 |
| nisshh | yeah | 00:21 |
| head_victim | My first job out of high school was as a landscape labourer. If you've been out of work for that long surely centrelink will pay you to do a forklift ticket or some such | 00:21 |
| ikt | yeah I think that's the idea, just get ANY job, and then use that experience to leverage yourself into better jobs | 00:22 |
| nisshh | head_victim, tried centrelink, they refused me youth allowance and refused to help me find a job | 00:22 |
| ikt | there's also a lot of weight against you partly because of your age | 00:22 |
| nisshh | ikt, ive even applied to places such as macca's, the local newspaper, my relatives, etc, nothing | 00:22 |
| nisshh | yeah that too | 00:23 |
| nisshh | i find that either teens are getting hired or really qualified people, but not me | 00:23 |
| ikt | that's odd | 00:23 |
| nisshh | im stuck in the middle | 00:23 |
| ikt | tried going the route of dressing yourself down? | 00:24 |
| nisshh | dressing myself down? | 00:24 |
| ikt | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overqualification | 00:24 |
| nisshh | ikt, i dont see that im overqualified for anything tbh, i didnt even do year 11 & 12 | 00:25 |
| ikt | you said maccas won't hire you | 00:26 |
| head_victim | I think you should look at finishing 11 & 12 then but that's just me | 00:26 |
| ikt | if I walk into maccas today I reckon I could walk out with a job | 00:26 |
| ikt | I'm the same though | 00:26 |
| ikt | I never finished year 11 and 12 | 00:26 |
| ikt | but I've worked helping out some small businesses and at woolworths for 2 years | 00:27 |
| ikt | now I'm in the unusual position of being decently experienced but under-qualified | 00:27 |
| nisshh | ikt, overqualification to me doesnt make sense, because the job where i got let go because of the guy with the engineering degree was iga | 00:27 |
| nisshh | as a labourer | 00:28 |
| nisshh | yeah | 00:28 |
| ikt | tried centrelink, they refused me youth allowance and refused to help me find a job <- OMG yes | 00:28 |
| ikt | just saw that | 00:28 |
| nisshh | same thing happened to you? | 00:28 |
| ikt | "you need to hand in your resume to this job company, they will help you find a job", so I do and get 0 response and no calls | 00:29 |
| nisshh | yeah | 00:29 |
| nisshh | ive also been to three employment agencies | 00:29 |
| nisshh | they did crap all | 00:29 |
| ikt | apparently they are the laziest people on the planet | 00:29 |
| ikt | which makes sense to me | 00:29 |
| nisshh | heh, yep | 00:30 |
| ikt | I'm just trying to get cert3/4 so I can go work at node/adam as a phone monkey, while still studying for a better job | 00:30 |
| nisshh | cert 3/4 in what? | 00:30 |
| ikt | it | 00:30 |
| nisshh | ah right | 00:30 |
| nisshh | im half way through diploma currently | 00:31 |
| nisshh | not at uni though | 00:31 |
| nisshh | at TAFE | 00:31 |
| ikt | nice :) | 00:31 |
| nisshh | yeah, ill say that when i have a job :) | 00:31 |
| eternal | stupid people | 01:31 |
| nisshh | eternal, ? | 01:32 |
| eternal | stupid people | 01:32 |
| ikt | how very odd | 02:24 |
| ikt | seemed to follow me | 02:25 |
| ikt | unless he just went into every room | 02:25 |
| nisshh | heh, dunno what a freenode staff was doing in here :| | 02:25 |
| ikt | following eternal I'd say | 02:25 |
| ikt | * paultag has kicked eternal from #ubuntu-bugs (eternal) <- | 02:25 |
| nisshh | ironically, i was just talking to marienz yesterday | 02:25 |
| ikt | he's been kicked out of all the rooms I'm in | 02:25 |
| nisshh | ah yes | 02:26 |
| nisshh | this would be why: 09:25:02 < eternal> use windows. don't use silly ubuntu | 02:26 |
| nisshh | lol | 02:26 |
| nisshh | ikt, apparently that dude was kb's from UBT as well :) | 02:27 |
| nisshh | kd'd | 02:27 |
| ikt | oh nice | 02:27 |
| nisshh | kb'd*! | 02:28 |
| ikt | not as fun as a k-line :P | 02:29 |
| nisshh | heh, no | 02:30 |
| ikt | sed stop being so slow :x | 05:14 |

| ikt | goooood morning ubuntu au :) | 23:12 |
| sagaci | morning | 23:20 |
| ikt | do you happen to know a better utility for looking at cpu uage than top? | 23:23 |
| sagaci | not off the top of my head, no | 23:24 |
| ikt | htop is showing both cpus maxed out at 100% but the process list has the top cpu user as htop @ 1.3% | 23:24 |
| head_victim | ikt: system monitor? | 23:35 |
| ikt | on a headless server | 23:35 |
| head_victim | Oh right ;) | 23:37 |
| ikt | http://ikt.id.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/cpuage.png | 23:40 |
| head_victim | surely some watch cat /blah/tingo/place should do it | 23:40 |
| ikt | ah it' sok | 23:58 |
| ikt | was just a backlog of emails | 23:58 |
| ikt | server must have just fallen over after the 3 power outages and 10 internet connection drops yesterday | 23:59 |
