22:14:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> altho a full time job i woudlnt mind
22:14:00 <Bonny> well I'm sure another opportunity will come up
22:15:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> yeah

22:15:00 <Bonny> *hugz*
22:16:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> oh well shit happens
22:16:00 <Bonny> yup
22:17:00 <Bonny> how has electrohead been? I haven't chatted to him in awhile.. how is he going in his new job?
22:17:00 <Bonny> speaking of the devil
22:17:00 <Bonny> hey electrohead.. *hugz* your penis
22:17:00 <electrohead> well talk about timing, lmao
22:17:00 <Bonny> I know right
22:17:00 <Bonny> how is your new job going?
22:17:00 <electrohead> what new job?
22:17:00 <electrohead> lol ...
22:17:00 <Bonny> oh you didn't get a new job?
22:18:00 <electrohead> those cocksuckers backed out last second
22:18:00 <Bonny> assholes
22:19:00 <Bonny> are you still looking?
22:20:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> fucking cat almost got my foot again
22:20:00 <Bonny> lol
22:20:00 <electrohead> looking, and failing to find anything decent
22:20:00 <Bonny> keep looking
22:20:00 <Bonny> you'll find something eventually
22:22:00 <electrohead> chances are getting slimmer and slimmer
22:22:00 <Bonny> patience
22:23:00 <electrohead> everyone fucking says that
22:23:00 <Bonny> lol
22:23:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> fuck patience i think its time to go postal
22:25:00 <electrohead> it's like the few electricians/companies I've been trying to come out to give a quote; I would call (them), and they would say exactly that: "please be patient" .. then no phone call happens, and they never call me back like promised
22:25:00 <electrohead> same goes in a sense with this job hunting bullshit
22:25:00 <electrohead> and the VA education benefits bullshit, etc
22:26:00 <electrohead> I constantly have to wait on everyone else, but if I make someone else wait, then .. I'm at fault, yeah?
22:26:00 <electrohead> legit that's how it seems, lol
22:27:00 <electrohead> I miss the days where living up to your word, and getting shit done, was the 'cool thing to do'
22:27:00 <Bonny> yeah
22:28:00 <Bonny> must be frustrating
22:28:00 <electrohead> I keep applying to jobs online
22:29:00 <electrohead> then, I have the problem of being self taught - ok, so, let's find out what certs I need, to help with that, yeah?
22:29:00 <electrohead> I ask a few 'online friends' what certs I need that are most common, etc
22:30:00 <electrohead> what do they tell me? "oh certs are bullshit, you can land a job no problem, sell yourself!"
22:30:00 <electrohead> yeah I sold myself to a local-ish company, and they blacklisted me for "cold calling"
22:30:00 <electrohead> this just feels like a lose-lose situation
22:30:00 <Bonny> :(
22:31:00 <electrohead> maybe I should just toss on my resume "willing to grab my ankles" in big bold letters
22:31:00 <Bonny> lol
22:32:00 <Bonny> maybe look at jobs in newspapers and see what certs they're seeking?
22:33:00 <Bonny> or maybe go to a job agency?
22:33:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> or move to australia and we will take care of you
22:34:00 <Bonny> that too
22:34:00 <electrohead> lol
22:34:00 <Bonny> I'll marry you so you can stay in the country
22:34:00 <electrohead> XD
22:35:00 <electrohead> job agency .. that's a shit show, in and of itself
22:35:00 <Bonny> yeah but they'll give you an idea about certs and go from there
22:35:00 <Bonny> you don't have to commit to them
22:36:00 <electrohead> workforce just reached out to me recently (from the past), I got honest with them, told them I'm definitely looking for something
22:36:00 <electrohead> told them to email me information, pertaining to anything about jobs within the IT or electronics world, said they would
22:36:00 <electrohead> heh .. a fucking email shows up, asking me to do a fucking survey
22:36:00 <Bonny> fuck that
22:36:00 <electrohead> that shit is a lost cause
22:36:00 <Bonny> yup
22:37:00 <Bonny> I hate those survey things
22:37:00 <Bonny> anything you do these days they want you to fill in a survey
22:37:00 <electrohead> they don't give a fuck about actually helping me, so .. I'm done with that shit
22:40:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> brb
22:41:00 <Bonny> ok hb
22:41:00 <electrohead> yeah so I'm legit on my own once again, but ... the stressfullness aside of the job hunting fiasco, I'm actually quite happy
22:41:00 <electrohead> been getting shit done, staying busy
22:42:00 <electrohead> :)
22:42:00 <Bonny> :)
