[12:20] morning [12:36] morning [12:52] good [12:53] you [12:53] are [12:53] how [12:53] ? [12:54] yay [12:54] friday [12:54] is [12:54] it [12:54] ! [12:54] Heh [13:39] https://www.python.org/jobs/2800/ [13:39] About the Company [13:40] Zuar is zuar. [13:40] Well, I'm sold. [13:41] Zuar is apparently the Father of Nethanel who was the head of the tribe of Issachar [13:41] and is apparently funded with 10 people [13:41] cmaloney: You're not on linkedin? [13:41] brousch: no [13:42] Is there a particular reason I need to be on LinkedIn, the classmates.com of work folks? [13:42] Yes. It is good for networking and finding a job [13:42] which tends to bring me more spam from self-appointed prognosticators and pundits of the industry? [13:43] Don't join the silly groups [13:43] wI really fail to see how linkedin is going to help with this [13:43] since most of the folks that I know already know that I'm unemployable. [13:44] Recruiters also scrape it, which is annoying when you're working, but pretty nice when you're looking [13:45] I found setting my status to looking or not actually makes a difference there [13:45] hurm [13:46] So 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 recruiters [13:46] sounds like a net win to me. :) [13:47] Yes, 90% of it will be useless, but there are some opportunities [13:47] Oh nice, they want my phone number [13:49] Fine. I'm setting up fucking linkedin [13:49] and I'm not happy about it [13:50] If I start getting recruiter phone calls I will be even less happy [13:53] I have a bad feeling about this. I already had linkedin.com set to REJECT on my mail server [13:59] I don't think I've ever gotten a phone call [13:59] You should be able to set visibility on those things [14:00] But 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/ [14:01] brousch: I'm not gonna lie: that is part of the game plan [14:02] Can you fly a drone? [14:03] No, I'm looking forward to getting more use out of the eclipse glasses. [14:05] brousch: I apologize for being surly. [14:06] That's OK. I know you're frustrated [14:06] Yeah, but I shouldn't take it out on friends [14:06] And it sucks to have to give up privacy for any reason [14:08] I've just never found any use for LinkedIN [14:08] I wonder what linkedin will do considering you don't use yahoo/gmail/hotmail [14:08] It likes to scrape my contacts out of gmail [14:13] I'm definitely not suggesting you do so, but have you tried any of the code for money sites? [14:41] brousch: No, I haven't. [14:42] Partially because I'm not sure how that works during tax time [14:42] * cmaloney needs to get an accountant. [14:59] yay friday [15:00] its income that you must claim. Once it crosses the 3000 mark they have to 1099 you, so you'll get that. [15:00] not much more to it than that, AFAIK? [15:00] reading IRS pubs is cheaper than an accountant. ;) [15:00] and I'm a cheap SOB [15:01] heh [16:28] yeah, I had a couple 1099s one year, was not bad [16:30] Yeah, I think that's one approach [16:30] I 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" [16:44] word [21:25] oh man, the coffee shop is playing what sounds like a 90s Pandora station, and Bush's Glycerine just came on [21:25] so many angsty middle school nights listening to that [22:27] greg-g: <3 [23:46] I think that is my second least-favorite 1990s song [23:46] the first being No Rain by Blind Melon [23:46] And not that they're bad, but that they became sonic furniture because of their ubiquity
