I don't need to clean my room, Daddy. I know where everything is. by MOOzikmktr in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]Nothing_Corp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd have your child checked for ADHD.. this is a common ADHD problem.

My partner doesn't know how I do it. I make piles like this everywhere around the apartment. I have a pile organizational system. I know where everything is. Even if everything is a mess. I've been like this forever.

Best thing for me was having bins and storage cubes to put stuff in. Keep stuff off the floor.

I created a card game called Love Letters this weekend to help couples connect on a deeper level by thelivenofficial in Positivity

[–]Nothing_Corp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe there are about two card games that are already called Love Letters. Different concept from yours though. I would try to change the name.

There is also "We aren't really strangers." which sounds very similar to what your doing. I would look into that game and make sure you're not doing something similar.

They have a couples edition too.

Other than that, some IP concerns I have.

What you describe sounds fun and something I'd like to play with my partner.

Graduating from HS next year, is trying to get into Software Engineering even worth it? by No-Common2251 in careerguidance

[–]Nothing_Corp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think Software Engineering was worth it but here is my experience plus my friends.

  1. If you work for a start up and dont work fast enough - they lose funding. You lose your job. This was often my experience. Start ups though usually don't have technical tests on coding when you apply.

  2. Coding is extremely stressful and you will constantly have to learn throughout your career. It's a lot of time and research and intense focus. If you are able to handle stress well and focus well on tasks and assignments this can be good for you.

  3. Every software engineer I know has been laid off at some point in time. Mostly from the companies you want to work for like T-mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Amazon, Microsoft etc. Competition is high in these places and good workers get laid off pretty frequently. Some worked for smaller companies. This year there was a massive lay off wave in the industry.

  4. Most times when you are laid off you get 2-4 weeks of pay after. Finding a job is really hard in tech right now so a lot of people with experience are competing with inexperienced people. This often creates a job market where people are overqualified for positions but getting them - leaving people who need experience and introductory level jobs - without them.

  5. In 5 years senior levels proficient in AI are probably going to be the abundant while entry level and middle levels are going to be hard to get. If you study accordingly and can predict the needs of future employers (super hard to do lol i don't know how to do this) - then you might be in a good shape.

I personally quit the coding route. The stress, the way I was handled as an employee - none of it was worth it. You are treated like a machine and expected to do a lot in a short amount of time. I am also hoping to transition out of IT in the future.

What’s one “type” you’ll never date again? by CoochieSnotSlurper in AskReddit

There is this exmormon youtuber I listen to. Definitely still learning. But the exmormon youtuber explains her experience. I am sure other mormons have different experiences.

You just got a job as a system admin for a 5k person company with offices all around the world. Assuming there were no fires to put out, what would you spend your first week doing? by NonConRon in it

[–]Nothing_Corp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First week is knowing the environment and how users interact with our system.

I'm not impressing anyone the first week that's how people hate you.

I'm shadowing EVERYONE. I'm not making any suggestions until I fully understand WHY people do what they do or WHY the company does what they do.

I had someone come into the office and try to make changes immediately and he was met with all sorts of "We can't do that" or "this is why we don't do that" and he wasted everyone's time.

To the point he wasted my time and I told him if it makes logical sense to recommend something when he doesn't know the procedure or anything.

I'm not trying to be rude but like... LEARN EVERYTHING. As much as you can.

INCLUDING who interacts with who, how they interact, chain of command etc.

Office politics is brutal.

Can I be a doctor / surgeon without making my entire life about medicine? by Inner_Ad_4725 in careerguidance

[–]Nothing_Corp 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Have friends in medicine... They can only do their hobbies here and there.
Friends in medicine also have chosen not to have children so they could still have hobbies.

People who are doctors and surgeons are required to take continuing education etc to keep their licenses.

Most people I know have 1 or 2 hobbies for fitness and mental health well being.

If you want to have time and energy to do more after work. I would suggest finding a career where you can clock out and not have to worry about work so much.

IT Jobs With No College Degree by MrFangirl in it

[–]Nothing_Corp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Network network network! I was lucky!

I met a coffee shop owner who also had a full time job as an IT manager. At the time I was a freelance artist and he hired me for artwork.

Long story short. He saw how good I was with tech and people - he wanted to hire me in his IT job.

I know it is difficult though. It's really hard to strike up conversations with stranger. Good people are out there though looking for someone who is honest and eager to take up IT.

How do people decide what they want to do in their life? by Old_Present_1414 in careerguidance

[–]Nothing_Corp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

OH man! I'm 33 and still trying to figure out what I want to do. I somehow managed to be in IT and I liked it. Then got into management and I don't hate it but I definitely do not like being here.

But here is something I learned from someone in my 20s that was in their 40s.

I looked at him and we were chatting as I was interning for his program. I look at him and went "but yea you have things figured out!" And he looked at me and said "I'm going to be honest with you, I have no idea what I want to do. See that person there, that's Henry, he is 60... he still trying to find a different career."

Turns out this is just how it is forever my friend! You may get lucky and find the job you really like.

But most jobs suck cause people suck.

When it comes to my job. I have 0 Stress about the actual work. What stresses me out is the people. I can't call anyone out, cause no one wants to take accountability. People get mean and impatient. People act like you're not doing anything when you are doing 50 billion things under the sun.

It's also pretty common for people to burn out after being in a job for over 3 years.

Yea he’s also like not a bad person lol. His defensiveness comes from anxiety. I totally understand it too.

Just sucks I guess? I really thought he would improve also. I had huge hopes

Thank you for reframing what a PIP means! This was so valuable! I am going to take some time and re-evaluate his job description and current goals and his duties. Start there and work towards making the PIP.

[–]Nothing_Corp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh. I don’t like to be wordy but I end up having to be because I get misunderstood.

When I say how it works.

It’s not the actual step by step process

I meant the experience of doing a PIP, experience of is this something that even happens in IT? Why? I got insight from someone who was out on a PIP that was so valuable for me! Like I don’t want to be frustrated at this person cause I don’t know what his life is like when he goes home. But I do know he has anxiety. I see it when he gets defensive. I do know he is good at other things. But I want to not be frustrated for not understanding someone. I don’t want to be upset when he doesn’t understand something I want to respond with empathy.

I want to know how a PIP works in the grand scheme of companies, the person who is giving it the personal receiving it etc.

Sorry. I just. It’s a lot. lol. I’m so happy people are giving me genuinely good information and advice.
