Random Raves 37 - Already CFC is returning to harmony

[Timsup2nothin]

Thanks guys. You don't know how much it means to have people giving me internet love. It's been a rough 6 months for me but things are finally turning around.

The position I'm applying for is actually a bit of a dream job. They want a technical writer with an AE degree. In my head the interview is going to play out as thus:

SpaceX: What makes you qualified for this job?
Me: Have you seen my postcount?
SpaceX: Welcome aboard!

Last year I came this close to accepting a job at a patent law firm as a technical writer. I really wanted to do it but in the end, it wasn't space related. I love technical writing (I mean hell, I joined Reddit specifically to have an outlet for this) and engineers that can do it well are a rare breed. I have lots of experience so here's hoping this is a shoe-in.

It was a great day yesterday. I applied for jobs at Boeing and SpaceX and about 4 hours later, Boeing shot me down. Which was ironic because that's almost exactly how long it took SpaceX to contact me. A former co-worker told me he was going to refer me for the writing job and based on the speed of the response I thought he had already put in the good word for me. I texted him and he said, "Nope, haven't got around to it yet. That was all you."

Edit: I don't know what the hell is up with Boeing, they never give me the time of day. Oh and the application software from SpaceX would not allow me to attach a writing sample but it would let me attach a cover letter. So the 'cover letter' I submitted was a really long technical document I wrote because I will make them read my shiz. Apparently my little trickery worked.

Is this a "technical writer so you can work from anywhere" job? Or a move to where SpaceX is job?

Almost certain it's the latter.

I look forward to you developing a California state of mind then!

I made it back to page 2 on post count. Let's see if I can get all the way back to page 1!

Quality over quantity. A rare few have both!

This is good advice. Internet after a lot of alcohol rarely ends well.

au contraire. Alcohol and #fiftychat is always a win.

That's one of the few exceptions.

Having sex with a female = icky.

Getting drunk and turning on one's computer to 'hang out' (to use the expression loosely) in a 1990s style chat room, which celebrates a guy who spent hundreds of hours being obnoxious and irratating online to fill the void inside, with other uncomfortable young men who also have this guy as their ideal of inspiring = win.

Hmm, everyone's entitled to their own worldview. That's so sad it should make me feel better about myself I suppose.

Havign sex with a female is not &#8216;icky&#8217;. Boasting about it and using such vulgar language is in rather poor taste, especially after the pressures our esteemed advertisers have put on the forum's management. Also, your description of the chatroom known as fiftychat is at best misguided or misinformed, at worst malicious. Please, do not insult us simply because we disagree with you.

Having sex with a woman and then going to an internet community of anonymous players of a decades-old video game franchise few even play anymore to brag about it = win?

You had sex. Congratulations. I had breakfast this morning.
