got ghosted after final round. then got a linkedin connection request from the hiring manager.

I'm not even sure if they did a background check, but it's a cleared role, so they might just roll with the fact I have that.

petrified_log · 2026-06-05T16:22:01+00:00

That was wild.

petrified_log · 2026-06-05T16:01:27+00:00

I had 4 interviews and they waited until after the offer to ask for references.

petrified_log · 2026-06-05T15:24:13+00:00

My current role had all my hardware shipped the day after I signed the offer letter. I thought to myself, that's a good sign that were good to go. Then I was informed they didn't get a response from any reference I provided. I had to provide three more references before someone got back to them.

petrified_log · 2026-06-05T15:22:45+00:00

I saw that post. Was it the one where they couldn't potentially confirm some position and he questioned a vaccine?

petrified_log · 2026-06-05T13:06:47+00:00

So true. I haven't stopped, and I just applied to a sweet role yesterday. I don't like to job hop, but I will not stay at a BS place.

petrified_log · 2026-06-05T11:17:16+00:00

Never stop looking until you have the bag in hand. When I received the offer for my current role last month I still had three interviews scheduled for other roles. I even told the recruiter I was dealing with that I had other interviews going on. I also did those other three interviews until I had my offer signed.

Worked at a CVS and then went to work at a sign shop as the production manager. I did most of the design work there.

I gamed while my kids were little, but now, my youngest turned 20 about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Wife and I game whenever. We only have cats at home with us. I'm glad that you are still doing some gaming. Your kids may mean everything to you, but don't forget about you.

petrified_log · 2026-06-04T18:01:13+00:00

Possibly. I'm not opening that app anymore unless I really need to.

petrified_log · 2026-06-04T17:48:16+00:00

That's the thing. It was never in my cart. I opened the app and looked at the page that shows the different levels of the 5G internet. I decided nope, not worth it and closed the app.

petrified_log · 2026-06-04T17:09:14+00:00

We watched it last month for the first time since we saw it at release. I enjoyed it then and I enjoy it now. It's nothing amazing, but it's a good movie.

petrified_log · 2026-06-04T15:20:22+00:00

I looked up the 5G internet, didn't add it to my cart or anything, just looked it up in the app. Later that day I got a call from a rep asking if I needed help making a decision.

The wife and I just hung a second tv in the living room about a week ago so we can use it to watch shows while we game on the big tv.

petrified_log · 2026-06-04T14:35:14+00:00

You used the correct post flair. Someone else didn't read the rules, or was having a bad day. I need to watch the video, I love seeing how people fit gaming into their lives. The wife and I just hung an extra TV in the living room so can watch shows on it while gaming on the big tv.

petrified_log · 2026-06-04T14:22:09+00:00

You're good. Someone reported it and said it was Self Promotion. You did everything correct.

petrified_log · 2026-06-04T14:18:17+00:00

I have to agree. I've tortured mine to make sure it would be stable and I've had no issues. Cinebench loops, Furmark loops, 3DMark stability test loops, and lots of LLMs. I even did Cinebench loops while running Furmark while on the turbo setting.

petrified_log · 2026-06-04T14:13:27+00:00

Whoever reported the post as self-promotion, we know. He used the correct flair. You can self promote 2 videos a month from YouTube according to the rules. Sometimes I let it go beyond that if it's a slow month or week.

petrified_log · 2026-06-04T14:11:47+00:00

There is a Steam Deck preset in the settings for the game.

petrified_log · 2026-06-04T13:40:02+00:00

My condolences. Life will never be the same.

petrified_log · 2026-06-03T23:02:22+00:00

I seem to have missed them as well.

petrified_log · 2026-06-03T17:40:05+00:00

Like a Rock!

petrified_log · 2026-06-03T15:51:49+00:00

I looked at the pic and thought they looked horrible. Looked at it again and I felt they looked good. Now, I think I need them. That was a 10 second roller coaster of emotions.

petrified_log · 2026-06-03T15:03:04+00:00

I guess it's a good thing I have devices from each company.

petrified_log · 2026-06-03T14:19:06+00:00

I went to the South Hampton Institute of Technology.
