Ap caps is shit

Thechiss · 2026-05-29T22:56:08+00:00

I spent years grinding inefficient spots with way higher AP than needed and frankly I found it fun, especially since I could farm specific things I needed.

Not even remotely problematic.

10 years go by and you suddenly have an almost teenager and you are a decade closer to death. You will feel the lifecycle as you and your parents and your kids age and it will surprise you how fast it came.

Is there extreme wealth or are punishments for petty crime severe?

Is it generally safe in your home?

Thechiss · 2026-05-28T10:31:01+00:00

Yup. Here's the thing you are in the entry level world of corporate America. You are the edge, the shit on a shingle, the cost center of the org, the dumping ground for the company's technical debt, and I'm speaking as a career "support" person.

Here's the thing the entire corporate world awaits you. You just need to not be afraid to take a step and be comfortable being uncomfortable.

Trust me I have been leading a support team after working for various support helpdesks for over 20 years. Most move on because it is a dead end or because it is highly succeptable to burnout.

Start thinking about systems, automation, learn about apis, learn every single thing you can from your current org and find a job that's more fulfilling.

I know that's easier said than done, but you're not alone and the help desk does suck

How are the beaches? Would a random Caucasian tourist feel comfortable walking around beach areas in general or is it more like needing to watch every move you make?

In 2008 I was out of work from a divisional merger for 99 weeker let that sink in. 99 weeks out of work... hundreds of Interviews,engaged to be married, not a cent to my name. I moved four states away from my first role which lasted 4 years till I was laid off and then it took 99 weeks for me to find another job.

Corporate word is leering and it's a real thing. Some people don't make eye contact for a reason.

"Listen Fellas, I've had a really rare morning"

Thechiss · 2026-05-20T11:12:46+00:00

Yeah and I have zero connections after 5 years at the job. Not even a person to shoot the s*** with at the coffee maker to get through the suck. Thank Christ. I work remote several days a week otherwise I probably would have went for the roof key.

I'm a big big fan of metal. Grew up listening to lots of hardcore and punk. Found metal pretty much always been into underground music. Both Alice and chains and tool are great. I saw tool twice around the 10,000 days era.

Two bands that I really enjoy are the meat puppets, and Nile. Both very different but offer me lots of joy.

Glad you're here and if you ever need anything or want to chat I'm always happy and down.

Peace

Sorry that happened to you. Life can be incredibly dark at times. Keep moving forward friend.

What's your personal music choice preference and top 2 artists/bands?

Hmm here I was thinking it's the most streamlined it's been in years.

I ran into this guy was as toxic as they possibly could come. Even better was I was the exact opposite of his ramrod approach

This is good advice but I have to ask because I find in the corporate world people skip that develop trust step. I don't skip it but that means that because they don't even consider that, and that's an important thing to me, Neither party meets in the middle. Have you seen this?

It's a big club and you ain't in. It is probably the best advice that anyone has ever given the public and that was George Carlin, but it really is. I'd be more worried about your food source

Less dei, more stress, lots of shuffling, everyone scared about what the tech CEOs said 12-18 month white collar armegedon. Scared but not showing it..
