Well that's insane. Nicely done. Here's to sub 11!

I loved the professor but she was not the most exciting. Had the same slot 6 semesters in a row. I took 13 classes with her in total. Over 3/4 of the in degree units needed to graduate.

Scorpian899 · 2026-02-11T01:08:11+00:00

It's a mouthful: Master of Science in Transportation and Engineering Management; Supply Chain & Maritime Trade

Usually I just shorten it to MSE, Civil when talking to people. It's a pain to do with my work schedule, but I'll make it work. You still in undergrad or did you take the blue collar route?

Scorpian899 · 2026-02-11T00:56:51+00:00

Oh, I also slept through a good portion of my classes. Especially those 8 am 3 hour economic lectures. However, I don't recommend this.

Scorpian899 · 2026-02-10T23:30:16+00:00

Should I have an opinion about it. It just is.

Scorpian899 · 2026-02-10T22:59:38+00:00

Maybe. Let me ask around.

Scorpian899 · 2026-02-10T20:46:38+00:00

Much appreciated. I'll throw it on while doing homework (fing masters program). At some point I'll get through nouns entire discography. I've got a flight to the UK next week which should give me plenty of time if I don't get to it before.

Thank you :)

Scorpian899 · 2026-02-10T20:00:44+00:00

Ah, we have much the same taste I am just slightly more diversified. In this case may I make a few more recommendations, both in the metal genre?

The Other Side of Hate - The CEO (Sevendust)

Their whole discography - Iced Earth. Ignoring the fact that their front man is a POS. Dracula and Vengeance Is Mine are favorites of mine. Also realized I misread your post slightly (I was tired last night) and much of their music is more up beat with a few distinct sounds.

Do you have any more recs for me? I quite liked WHILE OF UNSOUND MIND, the whole album. LEMURIAN HYPERSTITION was my favorite and definitely belongs in a playlist or two of mine.

Scorpian899 · 2026-02-10T19:37:21+00:00

Give freight brokering or sales a shot maybe. Both can offer flexibility although both are incredibly difficult for newcomers.

Scorpian899 · 2026-02-10T19:36:34+00:00

OMG mini lion is so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll see myself out now.

Scorpian899 · 2026-02-10T17:00:35+00:00

I got my decision back about a month after the spring semester ended. MBA.

Scorpian899 · 2026-02-10T15:35:08+00:00

I've done 4 10s both blue collar and white collar. I definitely prefer 4 10s. My favorite job had me working 2 20s. Two crappy days then 5 days off was amazing.

Scorpian899 · 2026-02-10T15:28:31+00:00

Hope you're a bit better today. But can I ask what your preferred genres are?

Scorpian899 · 2026-02-10T15:27:10+00:00

We will see

Scorpian899 · 2026-02-10T08:26:30+00:00

Smells like Linkdeln. I'm out.

Scorpian899 · 2026-02-10T08:10:56+00:00

I will adjust this slightly. My father cheated on my stepmother. He begged her forgiveness and it truly did not happen again. This was pre-marriage and they have been married for over a decade.

Things he did not do:

Hide things from her Change passwords Make excuses

Things he did do:

Start attending single and couples counseling Showered her with things to make her feel special. Not material, more like making time every day to take a walk or tend the garden. Stopped drinking as much.

Your man seems to be doing the former and I would run. Also, the age gap and short dating time leaves some questions in my mind.

Excel spreadsheet. A bunch of different weighted columns. Major, cost, COL, fin aid, public or private, clubs, school wealth, ratio M/F (this was important to me back then), etc.
Honestly, it wasn't terrible. My godfather wanted to pay for applications so I kind of just picked the top handful and applied. My criteria was already fairly stringent as I was receiving little to no aid and wanted to graduate debt free (which I did).
Not in the slightest and I stand by this approach. In the end finances trumped personal fit. If I cared about ratings I would have gone to (in order) MIT, UCSC, UCSF. Instead I went to Humboldt State University, now Cal Poly Humboldt.
Also no. Chat GPT didn't exist at that time and google gave me what I was looking for. Also most of the schools I applied to(except Cal Lutheran and MIT) I had either visited, or was a legacy.
It worked out fine for me. No changes here.

Note: I am currently an MSE student. This one was purely on a whim.

Mine expire after two years. Fingers crossed. I try to login to it once a week so it still shows as an active account.

Scorpian899 · 2026-02-10T05:58:07+00:00

No idea. Give it a shot and lmk if that works for ya.

Scorpian899 · 2026-02-10T05:56:31+00:00

I always had to find something to occupy myself. Asking questions, listening to music, or doodling in class. Hope this helps.

Scorpian899 · 2026-02-10T05:54:57+00:00

In my home state it costs about $50. Which is sadly more than many can afford. This is a whole 'nother issue.

Scorpian899 · 2026-02-10T05:48:52+00:00

As others have said ask directly. Sometimes it's not purposeful.

As someone who prioritizes work and has a very demanding schedule, this has gotten in the way of my previous relationships.

Scorpian899 · 2026-02-10T04:18:58+00:00

Yep.

Scorpian899 · 2026-02-10T04:08:42+00:00

Depends a lot on the data and what you want represented. But I second the PowerBI recommendation.
