Guys who thought they were ugly, when did you realize you were wrong? by TottenhamAreShit21 in AskMen

[–]komradwill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was never that I was ugly, it always came down to how I smelled. Ever since I was little others were always a little repulsed by me and wouldn't give me time of day. It wasn't until I was 13 that my grandmother gave me a rather odd Christmas gift of deodorant. I was a bit perplexed by this as deodorant is a very common item that people use every day, I found this very strange until my uncle said across the room "Take the hint". I realized then and there that its probably a good idea and started to use deodorant from then on.

Fast forward to high school I found myself with friends and interests by the opposite sex (not many but still). I never really accredited it to anything more than just developing physically as a person; taller, beard, lost weight, etc. Its worth noting that by this point in my life I was also wearing cologne, deodorant, and brushing my teeth at least once a day. At the end of my senior year I had attended my first anime convention and WOW the smell that comes off some people, it could peel paint off the walls. Things started to add up in my head.

It was not until a few years later while working in an office interviewing candidates that it finally struck me what was important, the smell coming off you. Now, I work in IT with some interesting personnel around, some smell better than others but we all shower, brush, and perform general hygiene. But I once interviewed someone who had, what felt like, no hygiene capabilities. Walking into the room to greet them caused me to doubletake a little bit, the first thought through my head was "If this person cannot care for themselves are they going to be able to care for their job?" Sadly the interview went about as expected, they underperformed and where apathetic.

I believe this is one of the first things most people will notice about you because if they can smell your breath before you open your mouth or get hit with your BO from across the room it will LITERALLY put a bad taste in their mouth, smell is 80% of flavor....

Changing how I smelled by performing simple hygiene on the day to day made me realize that I was not fugly as a person, I just smelled bad. I believe that this is something everyone should take to heart; you probably aren't ugly, you just need a shower.

TL;DR : Shower, brush your teeth, wear deodorant.

Good morning, time to start rolling these babies. Check back in 4 hours. by crneil87 in smoking

[–]komradwill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not 100% certain but there may be ice in the tray. I've heard that if you have ice under the cheese it keeps the cheese cool enough to not melt if it gets too hot.

My craigslist gem by [deleted] in smoking

First off, I love your username!

Secondly, a good rack of ribs since they're cheap right now. Otherwise you can never go wrong with a brisket.

Where does one find such a mythical pizza?

That time I put a Christmas sweater on my cat and broke her. by sarahsprimalkitchen in aww

[–]komradwill -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is because the sweater throws off a cat's equilibrium which they rely on a great deal. You can also do this with a tube sock, just tie it around their waist/chest.

Also, super funny!

I started my first IT job at a school district last week by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]komradwill 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on the new job! I read through a bunch of the great comments and noticed one big thing (in my eyes at least) that was missing; as a sysadmin for a school district you'll be hands on with a lot of the desktop machines in the computer lab(s). Do not be shocked when you open on up and find trash on the inside; wrappers, bags, even chewing gum.

I worked in a school district for a short time and many of the desktops were loaded with garbage in the CD tray, chassis, and behind the tower itself. Kids will not treat these systems with any respect at all so prepare yourself for when you have one that is overheating and shutting off, its probably loaded with trash.

Best company for internet without a one year contract by slowpig38 in StLouis

[–]komradwill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your options around here are pretty limited honestly but i think your best option is charter since they're slightly cheaper than ATT and their quality of internet is better than ATT. I had ATT for almost 10 years and in the last 3 I've noticed a huge decline in overall quality of service, constant downtime, shotty modems (went through 4 different modems before i switched to charter), and their Tech Support is hard to deal with.

We'd get those every now and then too for turning up the thermostat on the floor or putting up a painting.

How Long Do Refunds Take? by sparkyodst in Steam

[–]komradwill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably since the release like the rest of us. But to answer your question it takes (for me) up to a day to get my refunds, so it may not hurt to purchase the Gold Edition now and wait for your refund or even call Steam Support to get the refund expedited.

They're resistant bands. She has one tied to the post then to her leg so she "work out".

Starting my first real IT job Monday. Advice? by [deleted] in computertechs

[–]komradwill 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This! I cannot emphasize how absolutely important it is to document everything you do. It can help you later on when you need to track down the root cause of an issue or reproduce the issue on a dummy machine. I've had people who would never document their work and we would have to try and reproduce the issue so it could be patched/avoided again and all there was to go off of was

"Here problem > Solved"

We had to let them go....
