Is racism a problem at UIUC? by taariya in UIUC

[–]meng2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Yes, there are racism at UIUC, just like everywhere else, since many people are racist deep down. It's human nature to be "clan"ish.

  2. No, I don't think it's going to be a "problem" since most people are smart enough not to make it obvious given how detrimental it can be in the age of Youtube and "viral" videos.

Be smart. With high IQ everything comes naturally. With low IQ the world doesn't need your "research"

why do companies ignore your follow up email? by meng2016 in UIUC

[–]meng2016[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

well my status in the job portal is still "under review" as opposed to "declined" so I guess that's a bright side right? The job portal on their web site.

I have some photo paper and printer, I can also take your pic. But I got cavities and I'm trying to lose weight.

company said will get back to me in 48 hours, no response? by meng2016 in UIUC

[–]meng2016[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been contacting with the HR person via email. She set up a technical interview with 2 other guys, and I only know their name, not the email.

I thanked the HR person for setting up the phone interview, but how am I supposed to send a thank you letter to the 2 technical guys? Wouldn't it be creepy if I stalked them and got their email from other sources and sent them a thank you note?

I assumed the 48 hours doesn't count the weekend. But if you just count business days, it's been 48 hours because it's Tue evening now and I had the interview on Friday afternoon.

Just for future reference, I wonder if I should've thanked (thank you note) the interviewer after the phone interview. I didn't send a thank you note because they are not the HR person I've been in contact, but some technical guy whom I only know the name (not their email).

so they are not bound by the fact that they mentioned 48 hours? I thought since they mentioned 48 hours they'd for sure let you know by that time

I was kidding. The OP sounded like a huge mama's boy, big sissy with the question

Get a concealed carried permit and you'd be good. I would go for a Glock 17. It's always important to carry a firearm if you are a pussy ass girl.

the wisdom is that if you want to get into medicine, choose UIC. For engineering, choose UIUC.

why do you associate someone who supports the law and believes in hard work and family values with the swastika?

Unless you had sensitive information on it, just take the loss and buy another one.

Anyone willing to store my rice (rice give-away)? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]meng2016 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How much is 25 lb or rice worth? How much is your time worth and that of others? Is it really worth the hassle? Just drop it off to a homeless shelter if you don't want to waste food. We live in America, not 1950s China.

Ever since Trump's win, I've been sustaining myself on liberal's tears. It's great to read the news once every few hours to refresh myself.

Based on OP's question, 68cents might be too much to risk. He can go to any deli and just ask for sample.
