Trying to get a good sustainable full time job is like trying to get into an Ivy League College 
.

On Friday, I met a nice girl at a party. At some point she vanished with a friend, before I could get her number. Not a problem, because one of my friends knows her friend, so I asked him today if he could ask his friend if she could connect us both.
And I just got the message from my friend that the girl will be soon going to New Zealand, and therefore doesn't want to start anything new.

I feel like this needs way more explanation, but I'm not sure if I want that explanation.

Im trying to get one at M&S, preferably in menswear.
But there wont be any permanent vacancies until next year.

It doesn't really. Azzaman plays cricket. Rubber granules are a common form of shock absorption on artificial-turf fields. They tend to get everywhere when you play on them. Do the math.

those rubber granules are the worst. they wind up everywhere.
After this damn project is finished, I can probably start working at the NSA.
The data mining is a pain in the rear end, nothing is working, first results either say "noise" or "unreliable", and also the results which have signal will need to be extensively cleaned before anything can be interpreted. And that with one of the most sophisticated algorithms in that field. *gah*

A future whistle-blower then? Excellent!

Ah. TIL on both accounts.
Those granules also kinda help in replay reviews of plays in football as well. Sometimes when you just can't determine if a player's foot was out of bounds or not, you can look at where the rubber granules are flying up to help determine exactly where the player's foot is landing.

This pretty much sums it up. At my level the cricket pitch itself is pretty much just carpet on a slab of concrete, which means that the grass around the pitch often gets killed off because of heavy use. My club's home grounds have the pitch surrounded by artificial turf to protect the ground in that area, and I happened to slide across some of that artificial turf and its associated rubber granules while playing cricket on Saturday, and that meant granules everywhere.

besides horribly messing up my sleep schedule for the individual days--going to get ~4 hours tonight-- and general life stuff, to return to the woes of online attempts at dating I guess I do have to resign and throw in the towel for another 6 months or so.
I've dwindled low on the hope scale. Well, more accurately I guess okcupid is just a massive bust for me. There doesn't seem to be too many users in my area and I just don't feel up for the battle for a <10% response rate and <5% mutual-profile-view-rate [with like 1 profile view a week of someone I did not look at or message first; I do message first with simple non-physically-descript message about people's profiles for those I seem slightly interested in]. At least I trust it to be accurate that those users are in their location, compared to tinder which has pretty bad location flukes (or seemingly difficult for me to parse what it displays, as if not "calibrated" right on some days thinking I am somewhere else or having a mix-and-match of calibration, etc).
I didn't know things would be so hard.
Don't waste all your time trying to learn how to do math for engineering purposes and taking on more academic non-research school work. You'll forget how to do all of it, won't actually use it at your job, and have nothing to show for it.
Tinder actually works better though. I guess for curiousity sake I wish I knew the the average user's non-reply rate, just because those two services are quite different in initial function

It occurs to me that I have a hidden inner bogan that comes out under certain circumstances. This would be a rave but I'm already the last poster in the raves thread and I don't feel like double posting.
Why would this be a rave?

Means I'm adaptable. I can blend in to any situation.
