[00:13] blahdeblah, truth is, ive been jobless for nearly 3 years [00:13] gone to over 115 job interviews in that time, nothing [00:13] not a single one got me a job [00:14] that's not good [00:14] how old are you? [00:14] ikt, nah it sucks [00:14] im 19 [00:14] oh that's not so abd [00:15] it is when you have parents like mine [00:15] drats :/ [00:15] are you unable to get a temporary low end job while you study? [00:15] 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] i am currently not studying [00:16] my last college enrolment got rejected [00:16] so im doing nothing till midyear [00:17] 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] and hired him instead [00:17] :/ [00:17] this is really quite sad [00:17] if you've got some certs why not go for something like phone monkey/ [00:17] but ive actually been refused a job at macca's [00:18] even just while you look for a better job [00:18] at this point, im just trying to get *a* job and keep it :) [00:18] im so desperate at this point that im willing to get a job doing anything [00:18] go go internode phone monkey :D [00:19] impossible to fail [00:19] unless you're ikt [00:19] heh, i dont think they have an office in WA [00:19] any wa isp? [00:19] yeah, there are some small ones [00:19] i think telstra has an office in perth [00:20] but not sure about internode/iinet/etc [00:20] ikt, i have 4 1/2 certs currently, one for mechanics and 3 1/2 for IT [00:21] still means i dont have an engineering degree or such though [00:21] I'm 24 and just getting into cert 3 [00:21] yeah [00:21] 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 [00:22] yeah I think that's the idea, just get ANY job, and then use that experience to leverage yourself into better jobs [00:22] head_victim, tried centrelink, they refused me youth allowance and refused to help me find a job [00:22] there's also a lot of weight against you partly because of your age [00:22] ikt, ive even applied to places such as macca's, the local newspaper, my relatives, etc, nothing [00:23] yeah that too [00:23] i find that either teens are getting hired or really qualified people, but not me [00:23] that's odd [00:23] im stuck in the middle [00:24] tried going the route of dressing yourself down? [00:24] dressing myself down? [00:24] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overqualification [00:25] ikt, i dont see that im overqualified for anything tbh, i didnt even do year 11 & 12 [00:26] you said maccas won't hire you [00:26] I think you should look at finishing 11 & 12 then but that's just me [00:26] if I walk into maccas today I reckon I could walk out with a job [00:26] I'm the same though [00:26] I never finished year 11 and 12 [00:27] but I've worked helping out some small businesses and at woolworths for 2 years [00:27] now I'm in the unusual position of being decently experienced but under-qualified [00:27] 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 [00:28] as a labourer [00:28] yeah [00:28] tried centrelink, they refused me youth allowance and refused to help me find a job <- OMG yes [00:28] just saw that [00:28] same thing happened to you? [00:29] "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] yeah [00:29] ive also been to three employment agencies [00:29] they did crap all [00:29] apparently they are the laziest people on the planet [00:29] which makes sense to me [00:30] heh, yep [00:30] 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] cert 3/4 in what? [00:30] it [00:30] ah right [00:31] im half way through diploma currently [00:31] not at uni though [00:31] at TAFE [00:31] nice :) [00:31] yeah, ill say that when i have a job :) [01:31] stupid people [01:32] eternal, ? [01:32] stupid people [02:24] how very odd [02:25] seemed to follow me [02:25] unless he just went into every room [02:25] heh, dunno what a freenode staff was doing in here :| [02:25] following eternal I'd say [02:25] * paultag has kicked eternal from #ubuntu-bugs (eternal) <- [02:25] ironically, i was just talking to marienz yesterday [02:25] he's been kicked out of all the rooms I'm in [02:26] ah yes [02:26] this would be why: 09:25:02 < eternal> use windows. don't use silly ubuntu [02:26] lol [02:27] ikt, apparently that dude was kb's from UBT as well :) [02:27] kd'd [02:27] oh nice [02:28] kb'd*! [02:29] not as fun as a k-line :P [02:30] heh, no [05:14] sed stop being so slow :x [05:15] permission denied wha === iflema is now known as Guest51466 [08:23] test [08:23] http://advisories.internode.on.net/item/8172/ [23:12] goooood morning ubuntu au :) [23:20] morning [23:23] do you happen to know a better utility for looking at cpu uage than top? [23:24] not off the top of my head, no [23:24] htop is showing both cpus maxed out at 100% but the process list has the top cpu user as htop @ 1.3% [23:35] ikt: system monitor? [23:35] on a headless server [23:37] Oh right ;) [23:40] http://ikt.id.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/cpuage.png [23:40] surely some watch cat /blah/tingo/place should do it [23:58] ah it' sok [23:58] was just a backlog of emails [23:59] server must have just fallen over after the 3 power outages and 10 internet connection drops yesterday
