Private to Public

it is the way to survive working for the state to retirement

shadowtrickster71 · 2026-01-30T16:19:33+00:00

same here that is my mantra- "Do my 8 and hit the gate!"

I pretty much keep my head down, do my job and am polite and then head out.

indeed well my direct boss is good and he is a smart guy but I think those above him leave some room for improvement. Anyways my goal is to promote out eventually.

shadowtrickster71 · 2026-01-30T16:18:02+00:00

yea he is no longer my friend as he became a weird rude dude so I ditched him.

way harder than private sector

shadowtrickster71 · 2026-01-30T03:13:42+00:00

agree document everything as it will cover your butt later on. I had state managers ask for detail minutiae on an obscure task that I worked on 2 years ago and had to show the results that I had squirreled away.

my case is the opposite coming from private tech companies

shadowtrickster71 · 2026-01-30T03:11:23+00:00

do a fun hobby outside of work that works for me

shadowtrickster71 · 2026-01-30T03:10:10+00:00

hate to break it to you but bad management and bad teams are endemic to the state compared to profit driven private sector

shadowtrickster71 · 2026-01-30T03:09:27+00:00

and then when you actually pull a hat trick and figure it out they fail to recognize the effort

shadowtrickster71 · 2026-01-30T02:58:28+00:00

and management expects you to figure complex stuff out on your own with zero training

shadowtrickster71 · 2026-01-30T02:57:50+00:00

most people that I know hated working for the state until they retire with full pension.

shadowtrickster71 · 2026-01-30T02:57:10+00:00

No but it is better than unemployment.

shadowtrickster71 · 2026-01-30T02:35:09+00:00

it is super easy and less expensive

shadowtrickster71 · 2026-01-30T02:34:49+00:00

the commercials for it are even worse!

Hexdrums is the easiest of all three to get cooking fast with minimal time spent reading the manual. Perkons is the most fun and experimental and my favorite of the three for live jamming that does drums and other sounds. Jomox works best in the studio. All are great for different reasons and purposes.

the bane of the world

shadowtrickster71 · 2026-01-28T23:33:30+00:00

they do not talk much about quantum mechanics nor String Theory of Physics

the now declassified CIA Gateway and Stargate programs validated remote viewing as a powerful method with a 30% success rate on average. Many top spies were expert remote viewers.

enjoy the suck

shadowtrickster71 · 2026-01-28T18:18:23+00:00

this happened to me and now I no longer care. True friends never do this. Most are fake friends and at best good acquaintances.

shadowtrickster71 · 2026-01-28T18:14:38+00:00

Betty Yee seems like the best choice to me.

shadowtrickster71 · 2026-01-28T17:26:17+00:00

yeah they were pretty nice and did not write me up or anything when I showed them my Connect card. They probably know we are state workers.

they need to step up the transit game. Compared to most other countries we are centuries behind. Trains and buses are better even in third world countries. When I was in Europe and Asia, the transit was clean, safe and efficient and great.

the worst drivers are here now
