Lower than your balls hang, old man?

People should really call out things like this, I was too young at the time but at least I got to see my cousin's face when he realised he had been perving over a teen boy instead of a girl.

Man... back in the day my cousin saw a Hanson music video and he just "Wow, that drummer is going to be so hot when she grows up."

I had to inform him they are the Hanson brothers.

Then only many years later I thought back about this and realised how gross it was. He was about 30 at the time.

*edit, my spelling mistakes.

Already done ;)

I did it a long time ago, maybe a few years after I got it back when the battery needed to be a specific one in order to work.

I updated the custom firmware when I brought it with me last year and also got a much larger memory stick.

I had a look at the process and I don't think I will even attempt it.

I might be able to get it replaced at a store though, but it will be costly.

I still have 2 of these.

Bought a new battery for my PSP after getting it back from my parents' place, I moved to another country and left it behind originally. I also rescued my original PlayStation.

Found my iPod Nano and it needs a new battery unfortunately.

I didn't read the title, and only took a quick look and I legit thought these were rolls wrapped up in tortillas.

Madlad.

I worked with a guy who decided to use the disabled toilet in the office, while sitting there wondered what that red cord was that hung from the ceiling.

He pulled it.

IT.

More specifically, networks.

I had been applying for any role I have done before and can go again, ranging from desktop support, technical support, network and server support as well as wireless surveys and design.

My contract role was network automation and I was just getting into the swing of it when we got the axe.

The bulk of my experience is wireless surveys, design and reporting work... but it is quite niche. Very few posts going for those roles. I did get some interviews for similar roles but one company wanted someone more involved in pre-sales and the other didn't like the fact that I questioned travel (They said ha ha, UK for now but EU... maybe in the future). No mention of travel on the job description, the recruiter that contacted me also had not heard of it and it turns out the company got 'burned' once before after an engineer left because of the travel.

Yeah... I don't see that as burned, I see that as they caused it themselves by not telling applicants about the travel any only let you know in the interview to cover themselves while luring people in.

The reason I was able to apply for so many roles is I cast I wide net, I applied for anything IT related in the city as well as my town and surrounding areas.

I almost landed a sweet, but strange role, where the pay was decent for the work, fully remote but a weird schedule which I was more than happy to do. Damn!

My previous employer cut all the contracts leaving me to find a new role.

I was not in that role long enough to gain enough experience to find a similar role and it was a career change.

I estimate I put in over 750 applications and got maybe 7 interviews out of it.

My CV basically matched the job description for a few roles but was told no.

It's rough out there, I had to take the first offer as my bank account was basically gone. I'm now earning less than I did 10 years ago and of course rent and prices have gone up. Going to be a rough few years.

One of the Stoner/Doom bands I have on my playlists, good stuff.
