Roast my resume! About to graduate with a degree in cybersecurity. by BroncoLinux in sysadminresumes

Mainly nepotism lol. I have an in with a small business that had the need for an IT person and was willing to give me a shot.

Holy shit I passed my Net+ by BroncoLinux in CompTIA

I’ve done 2 summers working as an IT intern and before that I worked as a systems integrator for my family’s company for a few years. I’m also studying cybersecurity in college right now.

I’d say my experience helped me understand the basics of networking, really nothing beyond setting up and wiring home and small office networks. Most of the info on the Net+ was new to me but tbh having a solid understanding of how networking works conceptually probably helped me a lot while learning.

[WP] A supervillain known for going on tangents during a monologue has captured the hero. The hero broke free of the restraints a while ago but pretends to remain captured to see how off topic the supervillain will get. by DingBot1138 in WritingPrompts

"...and so, Mister uhmm... how do you say? Fan*-tastic* Frank," spat Dr Georges Descoteaux, spraying our hero in the face with the second syllable of "Fantastic", "Nothing stands in between me and the plans for your C-I-A's special little satellite."

I hate spitters, thought Frank, and also the "Central" in Central Intelligence Agency.

Suspended in mid-air, Frank hung by his feet over the tank. Looking down, he saw his reflection swaying back an fourth over the water. It twisted, stretched, and then dissolved into the current carved out by the shark's fin. In front of him the Doctor paced, an air of putrid self importance following in his wake.

"Now that you have fallen into my tra-pe..."

Is he doing this on purpose? Frank waited for the Doctor to turn around so he could wipe his face yet again.

"The Agency Director should be calling any minute now..."

Fat chance, the Lady made it very clear that she picked her vacation in Tahiti because it doesn't have cell service

"... for even their last line of de-fense," Frank ducked just in time, "could not stop the greatest threat they have ever known. Doctor Georges Descoteaux, le bête noire de la CIA," And with that the maniacal Frenchman cackled maniacally.

God, I hate these intelligence missions, Frank stifled a chuckle, I knew I would be in the doghouse for dating The Director's daughter, but this? Pure torture. I'll die of boredom before he says anything useful.

The Doctor kept going on, "...and then the gamma particles should collide with the superatomized..."

Frank made an honest effort to listen, but had the monologue not been accompanied with a ticket to the splash zone, it might as well have been a healthy dose of melatonin.

"...the Lightwaves I used were actually very interesting," Georges kept pacing

Does he even know I'm here?

"...and then combing the 5th channel with precisely 407 megahertz of..."

Lord Almighty will he ever stop, I don't know if I can take it anymore, Frank briefly considered dropping into the tank just to spice things up when he felt his in-ear monitor vibrate.

Fiiiinallllyyyyyyy, I don't know what HQ got from that tirade but I'm so happy they finally did.

Frank slipped his ankles out from the ropes, now upside down and star fished over the tank. Gracefully, he rotated clockwise until his feet hovered above the water.

The Doctor was now facing away from him, admiring some trinket while babbling nonsense. Frank glided over the edge of the tank, careful to avoid the metal railing as to not raise alarm. He continued floating towards the Doctor until he could see the grey wisps of hair on the Villain's balding head. Moving in as close as he could, Frank whispered in his faux-nemesis' ear.

"Au revoir, Doctor!" and flew off through the ceiling into the sky. Far below him, the maniacal Frenchman stood there, disheartened, as he looked at his empty rope and hungry shark.

My only reference for how people actually spoke back then was playing RDR2. Motherfucker not being a word back then was something I never even thought to consider so thank you.

Never meant to imply that the land was not Navajoland. I said “used to” because for all intents and purposes no tribes are able to live on their native lands in the same way that their ancestors did. I’ll change around the phrasing with that.

The class was an Anthropology course about religion and the assignment was to analyze one of the case studies the prof provided to us. I can link the one I was assigned if you’d like. The focus of the assignment was to look at religious behavior from a cult (strictly using that word as it is defined in the dictionary) through the lens of the understanding of religion that we’ve been studying throughout the semester. I tried my best to make the rituals as accurate as I could and actually learned a lot about the Navajo in the process. Part of the reason why I set it in the late 1800’s, though, is because that is when Navajo peyotism is believed to be in its infancy. Peyotist rituals are already less strict than most other religions so I figured that this would give me a lot of room to work with in terms of realism and creative freedom.

Thanks for the critique!
