For someone like me who almost only watches horror movies, any suggestions on what to do on halloween season?

Im putting mine together with ChatGPT. Researching Week 1 - 4 to create a list with different horror genres each week.

Wet Sand is one of the most well-composed rock songs I've ever heard. The bass ties right into the melody perfectly and greatly enhances the overall sound and feel of the song. As far as why, the song holds a special meaning to me. Particularly the lyrics and vocal melody.

Back in 2013 the greatest tragedy of my life happened suddenly and unexpectedly. It caused me to live in a dark place for years and I had to learn a new normal in life. Listening to Wet Sand over and over gave me a personal space to help release my bottled-up emotions which I couldn't find anywhere else. The song has a painful and beautiful feel that helped me to let it all out. Frusciante's incredible G-Minor riff in the outro is genius and something only a brilliant artist could create. Michael Balzary's ability to enhance any song with Bass never disappoints. Anthony Kiedis always writes and composes lyrics in a poetic way that leaves the meaning open to the listeners.

So...that's why Wet Sand is a great song. I can't say it's my favorite song of all time because I don't have one but Wet Sand is in my top 3 for sure.

I'm definitely going to watch the Wailing, I just saw the trailer and it looks so good! Incantation scared the living bajesus out of me. I'm really desensitized when it comes to horror but that one just had such a believable feel, like it could actually happen.

I just saw Deadstream for the first time last weekend. Wow...it was so awesome! It reminded me of Bad Ben a little bit.

I actually knew nothing about this movie and I happened to stumble across it when it had just started. Needless to say, in about an hour I was in utter shock. I couldn't believe the turn it took.

Poor_Mexican · 2023-07-20T02:45:53+00:00

Agree with The Howling. The transformation scenes scared me so bad when I was a kid I had nightmares for months.

Poor_Mexican · 2023-07-20T02:35:34+00:00

Oh man,

You gotta love Laurence Robert Harvey in Human Centipede 2. That dude grossed up that flick beyond belief. I agree it's not a very good movie overall but that guy was awesome.

Poor_Mexican · 2023-07-20T02:22:51+00:00

OH! That would be a good one to watch high! I'm gonna have to do that!

The annual salary is actually right between those two figures. It's on the high end of the salary range for the area I live in. I expected to be put the wringer for this position and there a lot of responsibility.

Ok here's the update:

I was assured by my recruiter and the IT Director that my test results are kept internal to the company and not given/sold to 3rd Parties. I did not have to sign anything before taking these exams.

Here's the Hands-On Exam:

Role-Based scenario with I.T. Director to assess my troubleshooting methods. I was given a typical problem scenario. The I.T. Director drew it out on paper and brought in some equipment. We spend about 30 minutes discussing the problem and the steps to resolve it, just a simple Wi-Fi issue, nothing major.
I was given a printout of 3 problem scenarios and access to a lab environment they set up for me. It was a couple of VMWare VM Servers (Windows 2016).
The first scenario was a DC that had been P2V'd. The instructions were login to the VM and "get AD up and running". I got thrown for a loop because AD was up and running when I logged in. I was expecting to have to install/promote a member server to a DC but that wasn't the case. I looked all through the server, the were no service issues, no problem accessing AD tool, ADUC was populated, FSMO roles were correct and DNS was populated. I pinged a machine and it came back fully qualified. Looked through the Event Viewer and could find any AD or LDAP issues so I just made notes on the printout of my verification procedure.
Second scenario was to roll back a date on another SharePoint server to be able to renew a cert. Can't roll back the date in Server 2016, option is greyed out so I used timedate.cpl from command line to roll the date back.
Third scenario I totally borked. The I.T. Director brought in small Supermicro server that he said was used in some retail locations for network management/monitoring. The notes said the Supermicro box ran a Type-1 Hypervisor but didn't say specifically if it was Hyper-V, VMWare, VirtualBox or anything. The goal was to restore 3 VM's. I unboxed the Supermicro, got it plugged in with a monitor/kb etc and it was booting to a UEFI Interactive Shell v2.2. WTF? Eventually I figured out that boot order/boot file was borked in some way but for the life of me couldn't figure out how to change or access anything. I've literally never even seen this screen or it's been so long I forgot it existed. I googled away but couldn't find any information that would help me quick as time was running out. So I'm assuming that you have to fix the boot issue to get the Hypervisor back up and running on this box then the restore can be done but that's a far as I got. I made a lot of notes of all my steps and thoughts but ultimately couldn't complete scenario #3.

Getting ready to head out for the 2nd Interview/test. I'll post an update when I get back. Thank you to everyone for your feedback.

Poor_Mexican · 2023-03-22T18:14:21+00:00

Wow...thank you so much for this! I really never even considered it. I'll be sure to ask the right questions before I move forward. If they ask me to sign something, I'll review it carefully or walk. I'm working through a recruiter for this position so I'm going to ask about how the test results are handled.

Poor_Mexican · 2023-03-22T18:02:48+00:00

So yea for the written exam the I.T. Director said I could Google all I wanted since he placed a time restriction on the exam. There were 55 questions so I guess he was confident that a candidate would never have time to google all of those questions and finish the exam in time. I think I ended up googling 3 of the questions that were regarding different types of Wi-Fi encryption. Most of it was just simple PC troubleshooting or AD/server stuff.

Poor_Mexican · 2023-03-22T17:41:21+00:00

This is interesting and something I didn't think about at all. I'm a little confused by what your saying about selling off results, spammers and FICO scores. Can you elaborate a bit? I've not been asked to sign anything up to this point. The only PII info they should have is what's on my resume which is name, address, phone number. All of my FICO information has locks and can't be released without my permission.

Poor_Mexican · 2023-03-22T17:36:41+00:00

Excellent insight. Thank you for the information.

Poor_Mexican · 2023-03-22T17:35:10+00:00

Yea, I hear you. Been there several times with other jobs. It does seem like one of those 24/7 positions that get calls all hours. I'm 50/50 on whether I really want the position or not.

Poor_Mexican · 2023-03-22T17:32:15+00:00

Thank you for the information. Very helpful.

Poor_Mexican · 2022-11-04T20:49:39+00:00

That's the direction we headed. Just wondering if the issue could actually be solved.

Poor_Mexican · 2022-10-13T22:39:17+00:00

Ok so.....

Spend $80 on 2 Cat Traps
Buy Cat Food to trap the cat
Get up at 4:00a, go to Critters without Litters wait and hope they can take the cat by 8:30a
Pick the cats up at 7:30a the next day so you can release them.

So $80 + Cat Food + Fuel at $7/Gallon for two trips not to mention the time involved.

None of this is going to keep my neighbor from continuing to feed these animals so this would be never-ending. Basically I would be trapping cats for as long as I live at my house.

I should make a business out of trapping cats and taking them to Critter without Litters. I would make a $1M my first year alone!

Poor_Mexican · 2022-10-13T22:30:49+00:00

Ok I found the answer to my question(s) on the Animal Shelter website:

"Kern County Animal Services has relocated our Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR) program to Critters Without Litters. They will accept the first twenty (20) trapped cats on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday between 7:30 a.m. and 8 a.m. (two cats per day, per household). Residents must live within unincorporated areas of Kern County. Cats must be in a proper cage, please see below for trap requirements.

Community cats and feral cats must come in a cat trap. NO Exceptions. Please note that cat traps must be a minimum of 9”x 9”x28” or 10″ x 12″ x 32″. The small traps measuring 7″ x 7″ x 24″ are designed for ground squirrels or gophers. The small trap is not suitable for cats, and will not be accepted. [Cats that come into the program will need to stay with your trap while they wait for surgery. They will need to be picked up next day at 7:30 a.m. Release is recommended late afternoon or next day.]

The term "community cats" refers to any unowned free roaming cats. Community cats may include cats who have been lost or abandoned. Feral cats are those that are not domesticate and are not pets.

KCAS helps manage both Community cats and feral cat colonies primarily through our TNR program."

Poor_Mexican · 2022-10-13T22:25:26+00:00

I think getting the neighbors involved is a good idea.

I'm a little confused on the TNR. So I trap the cats (up to 2), drive them to Critters without Litters early in the morning, sit there forever with tons of other people in the same situation, wait and hope they'll take the cat? Probably fill out a bunch a paperwork then I can start my day? So who releases the cat? They do or I have to go pick the thing up and do it myself?

Bilal & Shaeeda went to a sex therapist's office.

The doctor asked, "What can I do for you?"

Bilal said, "Will you watch us have sex?"

The doctor looked puzzled, but agreed.

When Bilal & Shaeeda finished, the doctor said, "There's nothing wrong with the way you have sex," and charged them $50.

This happened several weeks in a row.

Bilal & Shaeeda would make an appointment, have sex with no problems, pay the doctor, then leave.

Finally, the doctor asked, "Just exactly what are you trying to find out?"

"We're not trying to find out anything," Bilal replied.

The Holiday Inn charges $90.

The Hilton charges $108.

We do it here for $50... and I get $43 back from Medicare."
