09:51:53 pebbles{BM} has quit (Quit: )
11:55:26 <Avatar-> work's gone into receivership
12:39:25 <MekkisScreen> is it your fault?
12:44:44 <Avatar-> haha no
12:45:07 <Avatar-> probably wouldn't be in receivership if they'd listened more often
12:45:37 <Avatar-> we have one week of funding before they work out if the doors are shut
12:50:40 <MekkisScreen> wow
12:54:37 <Avatar-> with a possibility of extending that, but the general feeling is that everyone should be looking for new work
12:54:53 <Avatar-> too risky not to
13:09:40 <MekkisScreen> so
13:09:43 <MekkisScreen> are you?
13:23:51 Nodwik ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
13:24:02 Nodwik is now known as Nodwik_sleeping_then_work
13:38:26 <Avatar-> obviously
13:49:33 <MekkisScreen> where?
14:08:23 <MekkisScreen> I've got Wednesday 14 Dec off
14:18:39 <Avatar-> anywhere
14:19:02 <Avatar-> what's happening on the 14th
14:19:22 <MekkisScreen> U'm not going to work :0
14:19:56 <MekkisScreen> oh, I might be able to get Cheapy from freenode in here
14:45:36 <Avatar-> do it
14:47:02 <MekkisScreen> I'm trying
14:47:13 <MekkisScreen> he's quite new to pfs
14:47:48 <MekkisScreen> are you planning on running something I haven't played this weekend?

15:06:08 <MekkisScreen> although he's quite new to PFS, he's published several sourcebooks
15:11:21 <Avatar-> I can
15:11:40 <Avatar-> I was aiming for first steps, but really, whatever everyone can play

16:31:22 <Avatar-> :o)
16:45:15 Avatar- has quit (Quit: go get analysed)
17:01:30 <Avatar> god, pebbles came in
17:05:58 <Ballig> who's pebbles
17:06:12 <Avatar> one of bossman's cronies
17:06:12 <Ballig> oh, that is one of those gorean people
17:06:14 <Ballig> yeah
17:06:43 <Ballig> they often make a big deal about being female (because really they're not)
17:06:43 <Avatar> I either didn't expect them to come in for games, to lose the gorean garbage if they did, or both
17:07:02 <Avatar> pebbles is the worst of them
17:07:10 <Avatar> friendly enough, but not too bright
17:07:25 <Avatar> Roach won't be playing I don't think
17:07:34 <Ballig> didn't he spend like a week making a character
17:07:36 <Avatar> he doesn't like the 20 point buy or the level 12 cap
17:07:41 <Avatar> and he can't play weekends his time
17:07:47 <Ballig> he's a powergamer
17:07:53 <Avatar> bossman's likely to try it
17:08:04 <Ballig> he insists he isn't, but then gets upset about anything that might limit his ability to be as powerful as possible
17:08:11 <Avatar> yeah
17:08:15 <Avatar> they are playing like a umm
17:08:17 <Avatar> gestalt game
17:08:24 <Ballig> yeah
17:08:24 <Avatar> with a 5d6 dice pool
17:08:26 <Avatar> etc
17:08:32 <Ballig> full-on as powerful as possible
17:08:52 <Avatar> apparently there are games that go on everyday on that network, but I can't find any
17:08:57 <Avatar> admittedly I haven't looked ver hard
17:09:11 <Avatar> there's no real sense of organisation
17:09:57 <Avatar> I think the only reason pebbles even showed any interest today was that, uh
17:10:07 <Avatar> like when I went in there, she said greetings master, as usual
17:10:12 <Avatar> and I said nope, I'm not your master
17:10:32 <Avatar> and bossman said you're a Game Master
17:10:39 <Avatar> and I said if you roll up a PFS char I will be
17:10:49 <Avatar> so that probably perked interest in rolling one up
17:12:01 <Ballig> yeah that's creepy
17:12:07 <Ballig> do you want to be someone's master who pretends to be a girl online?
17:12:17 <Ballig> I mean it's okay if you do
17:12:19 <Ballig> I'm not going to judge you
17:13:56 <Avatar> well
17:13:59 <Avatar> you could make them do things I guess
17:14:03 <Avatar> that could be ok
17:14:07 <Ballig> like play PFS?
17:14:16 <Ballig> tell them exactly when to be here
17:14:21 <Avatar> haha, yes!
17:14:39 <Avatar> that'd be an interesting social experiment
17:15:47 <Avatar> pebbles is easily the most annoying of them
17:15:50 <Avatar> the least personality
17:15:58 <Avatar> and greets everyone with
17:16:02 <Avatar> hang on
17:16:35 <Avatar> [10:48] * pebbles{BM} smiles to Master Avatar, whispers softly
17:16:45 <Avatar> [10:49] * pebbles{BM} smiles to Lord SH, whispers softly
17:16:49 <Avatar> [10:49] * pebbles{BM} smiles to Master The_Enemy, whispers softly
17:17:08 <Avatar> and says something after each one like greetings master
17:17:19 <Avatar> notice the times
17:17:24 <Avatar> so you get alternating pink/white text
17:17:34 <Avatar> (in mirc, mekkis)
17:25:35 <Ballig> what's pink in mirc
17:25:39 <Ballig> oh, you mean magenta
17:26:03 <Avatar> yeah

18:50:47 <Avatar> I kind of feel like saying that I hope I don't lose my job in a week
18:50:50 <Avatar> but really, I don't care
18:50:59 <Avatar> they gave me a great excuse
18:51:49 <Ballig> why do you think you'll lose your job in a week
18:51:51 <Ballig> and what's the excuse
18:54:49 <Avatar> company went into receivership
18:55:00 <Avatar> everyone's losing their jobs, most likely
18:55:03 <Ballig> ahhh
18:55:11 <Avatar> they might find a buyer
18:55:16 <Ballig> how many job applications have you put out in the last few weeks
18:55:20 <Avatar> two
18:55:26 <Avatar> I know, right
18:55:31 <Ballig> for what jobs?
18:55:46 <Avatar> that govt one
18:55:48 <Avatar> and that telstra one
18:55:58 <Ballig> what level was the govt one
18:56:04 <Avatar> 5? I think
18:56:08 <Ballig> that's what I am
18:56:16 <Avatar> not exactly sure
18:56:22 <Ballig> which department?
18:56:27 <Avatar> fuel or something
18:56:34 <Ballig> department of fuel?
18:56:39 <Avatar> yeah
18:56:43 <Avatar> I was going to be a fuel technician
18:56:44 <Ballig> it wasn't the department of climate change and energy efficiency?
18:56:50 <Avatar> no it was uh
18:56:56 <Avatar> not ACCC
18:57:00 <Avatar> fuck what was it
18:57:07 <Avatar> something
18:57:59 <Ballig> you should probably kn ow
18:58:24 <Avatar> well I'll remember it when I hear it
18:58:25 <Ballig> hell if you want I can call their HR team on some pretext and then casually talk you up
18:58:40 <Avatar> hey it is ACCC
18:58:45 <Avatar> "fuel group"
18:58:47 <Ballig> ha
18:58:48 <Avatar> APS 5
18:58:56 <Avatar> maybe I won't remember it if I hear it
18:59:37 <Ballig> checking out their enterprise agreement
19:00:13 <Avatar> for what
19:00:35 <Ballig> salary
19:00:40 <Ballig> man, you'd get a $300 health and wellbeing allowance
19:00:42 <Ballig> I wish we had that
19:00:49 <Ballig> ($300 is higher than average, too)
19:01:36 <Ballig> huh, they don't have their salaries listed
19:08:33 <Ballig> Avatar: so is it one of the melbourne offices you applied for?
19:18:15 <Avatar> yeah
19:19:12 <Ballig> there are 33 APS 5 jobs in victoria
19:19:38 <Ballig> was "project officer" the one you applied for?
19:19:53 <Avatar> no, analyst
19:19:56 <Avatar> is there a project officer one
19:20:04 <Ballig> http://www.apsjobs.gov.au/SearchedNoticesView.aspx?Notices=10549873%3A1&mn=JobSearch
19:20:06 <Ballig> same department
19:20:19 <Avatar> man
19:20:23 <Avatar> can't help but laugh when I see the salary
19:20:43 <Avatar> I wish I saved the selection criteria of the one I applied for
19:20:45 <Avatar> that stuff was reusable
19:20:51 <Ballig> ha
19:20:54 <Ballig> why didn't you
19:20:59 <Avatar> because I'm a retard
19:21:06 <Ballig> that one closes this sunday
19:21:24 <Avatar> plenty of time
19:21:47 <Ballig> http://www.apsjobs.gov.au/SearchedNoticesView.aspx?Notices=10550817%3A1&mn=JobSearch
19:21:52 <Ballig> another ACCC at APS 5
19:22:08 <Avatar> there's a general employment thing you can apply for
19:22:11 <Avatar> that's pretty sweet
19:22:18 <Ballig> maybe slightly higher to bullshit for because they want someone with an understanding of litigation process, but it's "or ability to quickly acquire that understanding"
19:22:44 <Avatar> yeah I can do that easily
19:22:48 <Ballig> that's non-ongoing isn't it
19:22:49 <Ballig> the ABS one?
19:23:04 <Ballig> avoid non-ongoing if you can
19:23:21 <Avatar> http://acccjobs.nga.net.au/cp/index.cfm?event=jobs.checkJobDetailsNewApplication&returnToEvent=jobs.listJobs&jobid=b7d80499-a917-4852-8169-9e9b0163222c&CurATC=EXT&CurBID=CC4D7251-3925-49A4-8DEE-9DB401366C09&JobListID=DD797F68-BB11-EBA3-6A84-5C0BE69CBD11&jobsListKey=063d700c-ab47-4aab-82d1-8f819fbea5fd&persistVariables=CurATC,CurBID,JobListID,jobsListKey&lid=28099620006
19:23:29 <Avatar> it's not a proper listing
19:24:10 <Ballig> ahhh
19:24:11 <Ballig> got you
19:24:30 <Ballig> just be aware that different departments will pay you differently
19:24:32 <Ballig> even at the same level
19:24:52 <Avatar> whatever, it's a lot more than I'm getting now
19:24:56 <Ballig> yeah
19:24:59 <Ballig> it's only by a few thousand a year
19:25:06 <Ballig> like the ACCC maximum APS 5 salary is $69k
19:25:11 <Ballig> I'm APS 5 but get $70k
19:25:15 <Ballig> because my department pays more
19:25:16 Brunius ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
19:25:19 <Ballig> (and in exchange works you like a bitch)
19:25:21 <Avatar> gotcha
19:25:30 <Brunius> Hey babe
19:25:32 <Avatar> maybe I should take a lower pay so I don't have to work as much
19:25:40 <Brunius> You barely work as it is
19:25:41 <Avatar> how much does broadband pay
19:25:45 <Ballig> ha, not sure
19:25:51 <Avatar> Brunius: got one week left before everyone loses their jobs
19:25:57 <Brunius> ?
19:26:02 <Avatar> company is going under
19:26:08 <Brunius> Nice.
19:26:28 <Brunius> How will they support their own now?
19:26:51 <Avatar> what?
19:26:55 <Avatar> who's their own
19:27:11 <Ballig> broadband APS 5 is $60-65k
19:27:18 <Avatar> there's nothing to support, they will shut their doors
19:27:20 <Avatar> in all likelihood
19:27:24 <Brunius> Didn't you say this lot only hired indonesians now?
19:27:28 <Brunius> Or something?
19:27:30 <Ballig> so broadband pays maybe $5k less than most
19:27:35 <Avatar> sort of not really
19:27:42 <Avatar> we were in the middle of hiring two new australians
19:27:54 <Avatar> at least one of whom already left her current job to join us
19:28:00 <Ballig> that would suck :p
19:28:03 <Avatar> yeah :P
19:28:08 <Ballig> I'd be so pissed
19:29:18 <Ballig> Avatar: if you want a high paying department, go ASIS
19:29:54 <Avatar> you mean as a spy
19:30:01 <Brunius> He does
19:30:03 <Ballig> yes
19:30:06 <Avatar> yeah
19:30:06 <Brunius> All those ASIS spies
19:30:09 <Avatar> I mentioneod that earlier
19:30:10 <Ballig> http://www.apsjobs.gov.au/SearchedNoticesView.aspx?Notices=10545820%3A1&mn=JobSearch
19:30:15 <Avatar> being a spy would be cool I think
19:30:19 <Brunius> They'd want you to infiltrate the Mafia
19:30:20 <Ballig> I think so too :p
19:30:32 <Ballig> apparently there's an even more secret government agency though
19:30:41 <Ballig> where you apply for a job at attorney-general but you're not really working for attorney-general
19:30:42 <Avatar> but I have to be in canberra for that
19:30:47 <Ballig> and if they get pressed for a name, they call themselves department d
19:30:57 <Avatar> wow
19:31:00 <Avatar> that sounds serious
19:31:03 <Ballig> yeah :p
19:31:22 <Avatar> I'd be telling everyone I work in department d all the time
19:31:25 <Ballig> haha
19:31:27 <Avatar> I'm Tony B from department D
19:31:30 <Ballig> you have to tell people you work at attorney-general
19:31:38 <Avatar> office of the attorney general
19:31:44 <Ballig> department of the attorney-general
19:31:54 <Avatar> look I don't have time for this, tell me what I need to know
19:32:00 <Ballig> ha
19:32:10 <Avatar> i'd be good right
19:32:28 <Avatar> maybe I should get a job as a comedian
19:32:29 <Ballig> my co-worker was telling me how they were constructing their new building, but the fencing material they had on the outside of the site could be seen through during the day
19:32:43 <Ballig> and when she questioned someone about it, they said "yeah, but you couldn't see how far down was being built"
19:32:48 <Ballig> basically, the building goes way way down into the ground
19:32:51 <Brunius> ha
19:33:25 <Avatar> that intel officer job looks good, but it's in canberra
19:33:52 <Ballig> it's also international
19:33:55 <Ballig> you wouldn't be in canberra for long
19:33:57 <Ballig> they would send you overseas
19:34:59 <Avatar> the apply online button doesn't work
19:35:07 <Avatar> I guess I could call them
19:35:07 <Ballig> go to their website
19:35:21 <Ballig> http://www.asis.gov.au/Careers/Overview/Intelligence-Officer/Overview.html
19:38:19 <Avatar> hopefully I don't get tortured
19:38:55 Brunius ([email protected]) has left #d&d
19:39:15 <Ballig> you might
19:41:20 <Avatar> jesus, they want to know 'significant relationships'
19:41:32 <Avatar> including someone you went out with for 6 months or more
19:43:27 <Ballig> you will need a security clearance to work for most departments in the APS I think
19:43:41 <Ballig> as an ASIS intelligence officer you probably need top secret
19:43:44 <Ballig> which will ask a LOT of shit
19:43:46 <Avatar> sweet!
19:43:48 <Ballig> and will interview people who you know
19:43:53 <Ballig> and ask them questions like whether you're into bestiality
19:44:05 <Avatar> yeah nobody knows about my beastiality fetish so that's ok
19:44:13 <Avatar> wait
19:44:23 <Ballig> you will need information for the last 10 years
19:44:36 <Ballig> addresses, where you've worked, etc
20:23:53 <Avatar> god, fucking selection criteria
20:26:05 <Ballig> I know, I hate them
20:26:30 <Ballig> worth it though
20:26:58 <Avatar> this would be a crazy good job actually
20:27:05 <Avatar> fits me perfectly
20:28:47 <Ballig> which?
20:28:47 <Ballig> the legal one?
20:34:36 <Mekkis> Ballig, if they ask if you're into bestiality, is the correct answer "yes" or "no"?
20:35:02 <Ballig> I only have a protected security clearance, so they didn't interview anyone I know
20:35:05 <Ballig> but I'd prefer you said "no" :p
20:36:36 <Mekkis> wow
20:36:41 <Mekkis> Bossman's stalking me
20:36:45 <Avatar> the intel officer
20:36:52 <Mekkis> https://www.dbainspace.com/about/dbainspace
20:37:09 <Ballig> Avatar: ha
20:37:12 <Ballig> are you actually applying for it
20:37:18 <Avatar> yeah
20:37:23 <Avatar> I will move to canberra for that one
20:37:41 <Ballig> don't spend time on it now though man

21:30:17 <Ballig> it's a bit creepy
21:32:08 <Mekkis> it's creepy how he joined THAT IRC server
