23:00 <ld0g> i just sent my resume over to recruiter they will contact me this week
24:00 <ld0g> he just wanted me to update it'
24:00 <ld0g> so thats what i just did and sent to him
25:00 <ld0g> its been too hot here
25:00 <ld0g> i'll go for walk about 8pm
26:00 <ld0g> remind me plz 1hr 30mins thanks
26:00 <doggyrat> that time you just will have 25°C
26:00 <ld0g> i doubt it
27:00 <ld0g> will be above 30c
27:00 <doggyrat> so better not talk about the day time temperatures
28:00 <ld0g> i dont like when its hot
41:00 <gee_man> radiohead gonna thought police
49:00 <gee_man> dunno if crypto is going to absolutely crash or absolutely skyrocket in april
49:00 <doggyrat> hello gee_man 
49:00 <gee_man> ey doggyrat
50:00 <gee_man> ey fi
51:00 <gee_man> maybe it's just ethereum that will crash
51:00 <doggyrat> hello fi
51:00 <Fi> hello all
52:00 <doggyrat> gee_man: Fi: how are you doing
53:00 <Fi> rying to keep cool
53:00 <Fi> trying
53:00 <gee_man> feeling pretty accomplished because i got a lot of house work done
54:00 <gee_man> yourself, doggyrat?
54:00 <doggyrat> gee_man: it is better to do just a little house work every day make a kind of schedule
54:00 <doggyrat> still a bit tired it is about noon now here
54:00 <gee_man> sundays are my cleanup days
55:00 <gee_man> but yeah, i should do a little every day instead, instead of sporadically throughout the week and then leaving too much for sunday
56:00 <doggyrat> did you see my youtube channel 
59:00 <gee_man> i don't click links doggyrat, not going to search for it, either
00:00 <doggyrat> you are not watching youtube videos because of viruses
00:00 <gee_man> to sum it up, yes
01:00 <doggyrat> may be that is the reason why my computer did crash 
02:00 <gee_man> i'd be more likely to think it's a hardware problem
14:00 <ld0g> going to go for walk soon get some fresh air
14:00 <ld0g> oops
14:00 <ld0g> hi doggyrat
14:00 <gee_man> ey ld0g
14:00 <ld0g> hi
15:00 <doggyrat> sorry had to change some setting in hexchat
16:00 <doggyrat> but i still do not know how the spell checking works
16:00 <ld0g> thats ok doggyrat just dont let it happen again
16:00 <gee_man> lol
17:00 <gee_man> too polite doggyrat
17:00 <doggyrat> do not mess with a guy working on a rifle scope camera project :P
18:00 <gee_man> wise words straight from the source
18:00 <gee_man> gpus are $3k wtf
19:00 <doggyrat> did it rise or fall
19:00 <gee_man> i remember thinking $0.8k was too much for a gpu
19:00 <gee_man> it's fallen a bit
19:00 <gee_man> later on in the year they'll drop significantly as the chip shortage won't be as severe
20:00 <doggyrat> but that is just an artificial value and one day it might crash as real currency
20:00 <gee_man> as aquifers dry up, there'll be another chip shortage, but that's probably a decade away
21:00 <gee_man> a gpu isn't a cryptocurrency doggyrat
22:00 <gee_man> i mean a graphics processing unit
23:00 <doggyrat> i can not afford such an expensive hardware , i am using the old computer of my wife
23:00 <doggyrat> the dog gets the leftover
23:00 <gee_man> neither can i
23:00 <gee_man> but i can afford to eat
23:00 <gee_man> just about to eat a pizza
27:00 <ld0g> hahahaha
28:00 <ld0g> i am about to eat in 3 minutes
28:00 <ld0g> 2
28:00 <gee_man> i wasn't trying to be funny
28:00 <ld0g> hahahahah
28:00 <gee_man> :p
29:00 <ld0g> u just cant help it
29:00 <ld0g> can u gee_man
29:00 <gee_man> i'm often funny when i'm not trying to be
29:00 <gee_man> when i try to be funny nobody laughs
30:00 <doggyrat> i have an older computer with an Intel i5 second generation and 4 GB Ram
30:00 <doggyrat> simple graphic card
31:00 <gee_man> i've got 16gb ram (i ordered extra) on my old i5
31:00 <gee_man> but it's an older one
32:00 <gee_man> i think 3rd gen
33:00 <gee_man> because i'm a pensioner, i'm eligible for interest-free loans
33:00 <gee_man> only 1 per year tho
33:00 <gee_man> and only up to about $1k
33:00 <doggyrat> how old are you gee_man 
34:00 <gee_man> pushing 40 doggyrat
34:00 <gee_man> i'm a disabled pensioner, not an aged one
34:00 <doggyrat> or have you got early retirement
34:00 <gee_man> nah i'm on disability benefits
34:00 <gee_man> i live paycheck to paycheck
34:00 <doggyrat> mental or physical disability
34:00 <gee_man> mental
35:00 <gee_man> schizophrenia
35:00 <doggyrat> i tried to mine too , but it was rejected
36:00 <gee_man> yeah, it's tough to get on disability everywhere
36:00 <gee_man> used to be easy in australia
36:00 <gee_man> liberal government made it much more difficult
36:00 <gee_man> liberal=right wing
36:00 <doggyrat> it was easier here too 15 years ago
42:00 <gee_man> you could try finding some free legal help to get disability, doggyrat
42:00 <gee_man> it's usually a lot of paperwork with doctors
43:00 <gee_man> even if you don't get it, it's worth trying
43:00 <doggyrat> i did take legal help , but i guess my psychological problems are not big enough to get disability retirement
44:00 <doggyrat> it was rejected by court
44:00 <gee_man> oh ok, that sucks
45:00 <gee_man> i was out of my mind when i applied for disability
45:00 <gee_man> i think i was in a psychiatric ward at the time
45:00 <doggyrat> i do clean a kindergarten 4 hours paid plus 1 hour because i need some more time, but that is fine at least i do not have any stress
47:00 <gee_man> i tried getting a job at one stage, long story, but i attempted suicide and lost the job
49:00 <gee_man> i disagree with the media saying that 'disabled people can work' - at least, people like me
50:00 <Bonny> I'm disabled and I work
50:00 <gee_man> you're not like me
50:00 <Bonny> I have schitzoaffective disorder
50:00 <Bonny> both schizophrenia and bipolar
51:00 <gee_man> i suppose it's managed
51:00 <gee_man> in my case, i'm as crazy as a bat
51:00 <Bonny> yes
51:00 <Bonny> I'm crazy as a bat too
51:00 <gee_man> even with high doses of medication, i still can't get my shit together
52:00 <gee_man> i don't even know when i'm going to sleep next, circadian rhythm all messed up
53:00 <Bonny> I don't use my disability as an excuse to not do stuff
53:00 <Bonny> medication helps but it's upto the individual to help themselves
53:00 <gee_man> i'm trying my best Bonny
54:00 <Bonny> ok
54:00 <gee_man> i have low-stress hobbies
54:00 <gee_man> programming, etc.
54:00 <Bonny> I was diagnosed as a schizophrenic in 1990
55:00 <gee_man> the last time i had a job, both employees at the workplace and the disability employment agency bullied me
55:00 <gee_man> at least 1 employee did, anyway, another was just complicit
56:00 <gee_man> the employment agency went to my boss and told them i could work more hours (narrator: i couldn't)
56:00 <gee_man> i'd still have the job today if it wasn't for the disability employment agency
57:00 <Bonny> I have a good disability employment agency..
58:00 <gee_man> i'd like to say some of them are good, but just because they're non-profit, doesn't mean they're not in it for the money
58:00 <Bonny> they still call me every 2 weeks to make sure I am fine.. and also I'm the one that told the boss I can only do 20 hours a week and I told him about my mental illness and he was cool with it
59:00 <gee_man> the agency i was with changes their name every few years because of their bad rep
59:00 <Bonny> are you in melbourne?
59:00 <gee_man> canberra
00:00 <Bonny> I would have referred to my disability employment agency..
00:00 <Bonny> but as you said you can't work.. you prolly just need more time
00:00 <gee_man> yeah i do need more time
01:00 <gee_man> i needed more time back then, too
01:00 <Bonny> cool
01:00 <gee_man> centrelink guy made an appointment for me at the exact time i had a job interview "can you make this time?" "no" "why?" "job interview" and it went all downhill from there
02:00 <Bonny> that's fucked
03:00 <gee_man> i rescheduled the job interview, showed up at centrelink at the time he said, and there was no appointment booked
03:00 <doggyrat> back from lunch
03:00 <gee_man> so i rescheduled for no reason
03:00 <doggyrat> hello Bonny 
04:00 <Bonny> hi doggyrat
04:00 <gee_man> except he somehow knew i had a job interview so he could refer me to a disability employment service
05:00 <gee_man> that's why he made the appointment, because he had heard i had a job interview
05:00 <Bonny> now you're being paranoid.. it happened cos centrelink have no clue how to look after people
05:00 <gee_man> no i'm not
06:00 <gee_man> disability employment services make millions off referrals from centrelink
06:00 <gee_man> literally millions
07:00 <gee_man> i could tell there was something shady about his line of questioning when he asked me if i could make the appointment time when i didn't volunteer to him that i had a job interview
10:00 <gee_man> you only have to look on twitter for disability employment service horror stories
12:00 <gee_man> the guy at the disability employment service wanted me to sign a form stating i could work more than 15 hours a fortnight
12:00 <gee_man> i refused because i didn't understand what it was
13:00 <gee_man> he then said he'd make mandatory fortnightly appointments where each appointment would be him asking me to sign the form
14:00 <gee_man> i said i still won't sign it
14:00 <gee_man> so he said he could get my boss to sign it, and will get them to sign it instead
16:00 <gee_man> on top of one of the other employees bullying me because i didn't know he was talking to me over a barrier between desks, and asked him "are you talking to me?" causing him embarrassment, i ended up suicidal from the pressure
16:00 <gee_man> sorry for the wall of text, i'll shutup now
23:00 <gee_man> there's more to the story that added to the pressure, where i tried getting someone a promotion in a completely different organisation, but the senior didn't know it was to share the workload, not replace them
23:00 <gee_man> but yeah, how 'bout 'dem knicks, eh?
29:00 <ld0g> hi Bonny
31:00 <Bonny> hi ld0g
43:00 <ld0g> hows it going
45:00 <Bonny> not too bad thanks.. yourself?
45:00 <ld0g> yeah good sent my resume off so im happy
