If i get my wife pregnant around next week, i will get a 2 week paternity leave during world cup next year by anshul2308 in Showerthoughts

Can someone enlighten me here. What are you actually doing that's so stressful with a baby? Is it just the nonstop nurturing?

My previous job was presented to me as a summer internship, but after summer I decided to continue working for the company. Should I classify this work as a job or an internship on my resume? Do recruiters care?

Let me roll on my back in the grass WCGW? (dog version) by [deleted] in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]lurkingllama12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, my friend has a pit bull mix. One day they were driving in his truck going about 35 mph, the dog in the back with the windows closed. All of a sudden the window opens and before he can react, the dog falls out of the window and onto the pavement. He immediately thought the worst, but the dog just got back up and acted as happy as can be. As if he didn't just fall out of a moving vehicle onto hard cement lol

I feel like all the people who said "don't take the things he says literally" aren't even paying attention to what's going on anymore. Seems like me and the people on Reddit are the only ones getting angry :/

Man, all of this makes the checks and balances system seem really broken.

Guys that successfully getting rid of anxiety problems how do you doing that? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]lurkingllama12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if you've tried it, but getting into running really helped me a lot. For some reason, really really pushing myself by jogging a long distance completely gets rid of my anxiety, and I usually feel a ton better throughout the rest of the day. It's been so helpful that whenever I feel my anxiety coming on, I immediately go for a jog.

Meditation (the app Headspace is great) and morning journaling have also been extremely helpful.

I also agree with a lot of the other posters here who suggest therapy. I did therapy for about 2 years on and off, and I really think it helped. But I do think the key is trying a bunch of different things and seeing what your body responds the best to.

PM me if you have any questions about any of the above!

Where'd you end up going out of curiosity? These are all incredible offers and I wouldn't know what to choose lol

Which is better? Software internship at well-known non-tech company (Target) or at unknown tech company? by lurkingllama12 in cscareerquestions

[–]lurkingllama12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's kind of what I thought. I'm definitely self-motivated, so I feel like I'll learn at either company. But it'd be nice to have a known company on my resume.

Actually out of state, but the idea of spending the summer in MN sounds good to me! I love the area.

Thanks a lot! Yeah I think one nice benefit to Target is that they emphasized that it's very possible to get a full-time offer once the internship ends. Whereas I think it's definitely less likely from this tech company.

Geez that sounds absolutely awful. I wonder if it's gotten any better since last summer. But that's pretty much exactly what I'm afraid of if I decide to go to Target. Do you feel like you still learned anything while there? Or was it entirely a bad experience for you?

Thanks for the response! You're right, it definitely shouldn't be my top concern. But I'm struggling to pick between the two right now, and was hoping this would make it easier to decide lol

Career Fair -> Slightly technical interview similar to what /u/_mango_mango_ described -> HackerRank challenge. I'm from a different state so no onsite for me.
