So people are seriously

[Day]

i used to get described as constantly stoned due to how mellow i was. i am not called angry yet but i no longer get those comparisons. only a year and a half on phones between two places though so i have some time to catch up.

yeah it def gets at you over time, at first you're all helpful as fuck thinking you'll one day get everyone squared away, but no... stupidity is fucking relentless and it just never. ever. stops. every call is a goddamn problem. I take such pity on customer service positions now. I'm nice as fuck to anyone that has to deal with the public in any form honestly.

[Chun Liroy]

LOL my friend broke his jaw last night...

[Day]

ah the old "procedural calls". yeah that shits nice when you can send them back to their manager or whoever.

[Day]

yeah thats what i'm saying, don't move up, just enjoy the easy money. you get up there and they start being total dicks to you as you are more responsible than the "ticket loggers"

[Conformity]

Well at this level we dont get axed over months, rather years because of the inherent long sales cycle that goes with our products, plus, I am a manager now so Im rather immune.


But, that helpdesk is dead end dawg, better parlay that into a role in IT daaaaaaawg

[Day]

i found it to be almost more annoying that they were also employees of the same company, like wtf why are you treating me like shit, the same dude pays us

[Conformity]

Yeah, you should def jump out of customer service and go straight IT, thats where the money/freedom is to a certain extent

[Conformity]

its kind of a stepping stone that the majority of people have to go through so just gotta get through it for a little while longer

Glad you got a plan, most people just get into helpdesk and 10 years later they are still there, fat as fuck, making 60k and realizing how broke they really are

[Conformity]

if i was gonna let myself get stuck on a help desk for the next 10 years i'd probably just shoot myself right now and get it over with because at that point i will hate every living creature in the world and life will not be worth living

I admire your attitude, glad complacency in mediocrity is not your ambition like the rest of the fucking internet.

word, if I only had this foresight.

now i gotta start all over doing something else... gonna be something i at least mildly enjoy I know that. fuckin life is too short.

Couldn't agree more motherfucker

[Conformity]

actually have turned things around personally quite a bit in the last 3~ months, even signed up for a god damn 5k mud obstacle course thingy

That is a good start. My secret to losing weight is bringing my phone with spotify and going on long hikes. Fucking weight falls off and I eat whatever the fuck I want (in moderate quantity)/

i cant really talk about foresight, im 27 and just barely starting my career that i could have been going at since i was maybe 19 or 20

Dude, I was in the military and didnt get out of college till 25. Then I spent the first 3 years arguing with perm on spam and almost becoming homeless. Once I got my focus, well, I started demolishing the corporate world around me. Time doesn't matter, the realization that you have come to does. Most people walk through their pitiful lives without ever awakening. 27 is about the age I did it and it is way early enough.

[Conformity]

for the losing weight thing, the last 3-4 weeks have kind of slowed down but before that i lost about 25 pounds over the course of about 5 or 6 weeks - changed diet significantly, started exercising regularly, drinkin water most of the time

Start banging more broads yet?

[Conformity]

Yeah, if it is anything like it was for me you will slowly develop more confidence and then one day you will just be wrecking them, after tough mudder definitely she will be down to fuck. Or you can rape her in the mud, that works too

[Conformity]

she's an army girl of about 8 years so rape is def out but bang is almost def in

Oh god, army girls, better wrap that shit up TIGHT son

eh fuck stayin up all day im gonna take a fucking nap

Amen brother!

[Conformity]

what the fuck is that. Is that drizzy?

[Ryko]

for real though, for profit schools are almost always a bad idea. Full Sail has some cachet with being good at game design or graphic design or something like that so if that's what you are doing that is cool but the for profit institution is designed to fuck you in the ass as priorities 1 2 and 3. Giving you a good education comes begrudgingly after the point where they can't make more money off you by fucking you in the ass a bit more

Going for game design, yeah. My hope is that over the next few years, my writing gig combined with my degree will open up connections and job prospects.

Do you really need this expensive ass school to learn video game design? The value of a school, more than anything, is its ability to place jobs. I want to ask how much in debt you are now and how much you will be by grad, but not publicly. Do you care to discuss it via pm?

[Conformity]

If not I totally understand

[Ryko]

Do you really need this expensive ass school to learn video game design?

Not for a second, I came up with a number of properly formatted GDDs before I even enrolled.

If you want to talk in PM, that's fine. If I end up not being particularly detailed, well you know.
