cmaloneyAbout the Company13:39
cmaloneyZuar is zuar.13:40
cmaloneyWell, I'm sold.13:40
cmaloneyZuar is apparently the Father of Nethanel who was the head of the tribe of Issachar13:41
cmaloneyand is apparently funded with 10 people13:41
brouschcmaloney: You're not on linkedin?13:41
cmaloneybrousch: no13:41
cmaloneyIs there a particular reason I need to be on LinkedIn, the classmates.com of work folks?13:42
brouschYes. It is good for networking and finding a job13:42
cmaloneywhich tends to bring me more spam from self-appointed prognosticators and pundits of the industry?13:42
brouschDon't join the silly groups13:43
cmaloneywI really fail to see how linkedin is going to help with this13:43
cmaloneysince most of the folks that I know already know that I'm unemployable.13:43
brouschRecruiters also scrape it, which is annoying when you're working, but pretty nice when you're looking13:44
brouschI found setting my status to looking or not actually makes a difference there13:45
cmaloneyhurm13:45
cmaloneySo I can get more recruiters (who usually don't understand what it is that I do) throwing me at more companies that don't like dealing with recruiters13:46
cmaloneysounds like a net win to me. :)13:46
brouschYes, 90% of it will be useless, but there are some opportunities13:47
cmaloneyOh nice, they want my phone number13:47
cmaloneyFine. I'm setting up fucking linkedin13:49
cmaloneyand I'm not happy about it13:49
cmaloneyIf I start getting recruiter phone calls I will be even less happy13:50
cmaloneyI have a bad feeling about this. I already had linkedin.com set to REJECT on my mail server13:53
brouschI don't think I've ever gotten a phone call13:59
brouschYou should be able to set visibility on those things13:59
brouschBut hey, maybe you won't have to worry about a job for long. http://woodtv.com/2017/10/06/trump-during-photo-shoot-talks-of-calm-before-the-storm/14:00
cmaloneybrousch: I'm not gonna lie: that is part of the game plan14:01
brouschCan you fly a drone?14:02
cmaloneyNo, I'm looking forward to getting more use out of the eclipse glasses.14:03
cmaloneybrousch: I apologize for being surly.14:05
brouschThat's OK. I know you're frustrated14:06
cmaloneyYeah, but I shouldn't take it out on friends14:06
brouschAnd it sucks to have to give up privacy for any reason14:06
cmaloneyI've just never found any use for LinkedIN14:08
brouschI wonder what linkedin will do considering you don't use yahoo/gmail/hotmail14:08
brouschIt likes to scrape my contacts out of gmail14:08
brouschI'm definitely not suggesting you do so, but have you tried any of the code for money sites?14:13
cmaloneybrousch: No, I haven't.14:41
cmaloneyPartially because I'm not sure how that works during tax time14:42
* cmaloney needs to get an accountant.14:42
jrwrenyay friday14:59
jrwrenits income that you must claim. Once it crosses the 3000 mark they have to 1099 you, so you'll get that.15:00
jrwrennot much more to it than that, AFAIK?15:00
jrwrenreading IRS pubs is cheaper than an accountant. ;)15:00
jrwrenand I'm a cheap SOB15:00
cmaloneyheh15:01
greg-gyeah, I had a couple 1099s one year, was not bad16:28
cmaloneyYeah, I think that's one approach16:30
cmaloneyI guess I need to reframe this as "If he worst problem I have is how to file my taxes then that's a nice problem to have"16:30
greg-gword16:44
greg-goh man, the coffee shop is playing what sounds like a 90s Pandora station, and Bush's Glycerine just came on21:25
greg-gso many angsty middle school nights listening to that21:25
rick_hgreg-g: <322:27
cmaloneyI think that is my second least-favorite 1990s song23:46
cmaloneythe first being No Rain by Blind Melon23:46
cmaloneyAnd not that they're bad, but that they became sonic furniture because of their ubiquity23:46
