[00:13] <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
[00:14] <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
[00:15] <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
[00:16] <nisshh> my last college enrolment got rejected
[00:16] <nisshh> so im doing nothing till midyear
[00:17] <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
[00:18] <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
[00:19] <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
[00:20] <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
[00:21] <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
[00:22] <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
[00:23] <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
[00:24] <ikt> tried going the route of dressing yourself down?
[00:24] <nisshh> dressing myself down?
[00:24] <ikt> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overqualification
[00:25] <nisshh> ikt, i dont see that im overqualified for anything tbh, i didnt even do year 11 & 12
[00:26] <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
[00:27] <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
[00:28] <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?
[00:29] <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
[00:30] <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
[00:31] <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 :)
[01:31] <eternal> stupid people
[01:32] <nisshh> eternal, ?
[01:32] <eternal> stupid people
[02:24] <ikt> how very odd
[02:25] <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
[02:26] <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
[02:27] <nisshh> ikt, apparently that dude was kb's from UBT as well :)
[02:27] <nisshh> kd'd
[02:27] <ikt> oh nice
[02:28] <nisshh> kb'd*!
[02:29] <ikt> not as fun as a k-line :P
[02:30] <nisshh> heh, no
[05:14] <ikt> sed stop being so slow :x
[05:15] <ikt> permission denied wha
[08:23] <ikt> test
[08:23] <ikt> http://advisories.internode.on.net/item/8172/
[23:12] <ikt> goooood morning ubuntu au :)
[23:20] <sagaci> morning
[23:23] <ikt> do you happen to know a better utility for looking at cpu uage than top?
[23:24] <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%
[23:35] <head_victim> ikt: system monitor?
[23:35] <ikt> on a headless server
[23:37] <head_victim> Oh right ;)
[23:40] <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
[23:58] <ikt> ah it' sok
[23:58] <ikt> was just a backlog of emails
[23:59] <ikt> server must have just fallen over after the 3 power outages and 10 internet connection drops yesterday
