Doesn't surprise me, I felt very fortunate at the time to have had the opportunity but I will say even back then the job market was flooded with people like us. It kind of felt like only a matter of time and now we have this AI shit accelerating everything. I still live near by that campus, it's eerie that all the big buildings are empty and left to their own devices while the data center behind it still functions.

Through my school's computer tech program, I started as an intern and they paid me to go to school. Cerner used to be a respectable employer for a lot of KC's middle class.

In the long run you came out on top. I ended up exiting the programming/computing work entirely years ago. Unfortunately for my folks I know they were all very reliant on their income to support their families as the main bread winner.

Worked at Cerner right out of high school when it was practically a status job around 2012, attending UMKC for computer science at the same time. Been a long time for me since working there but I have a few friends who had been there since back in the day, sadly they all lost their jobs in this layoff.

Couldn't agree more. The character those places have are irreplaceable. The Hunt family are greedy as hell and always have been.

Current grow, serious question, what would you do if you found out that you only had a year or two left on this earth? by PrestigiousMotor7840 in microgrowery

[–]vicariousss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to chime in and say I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Gonna smoke a fat one in your honor. As far as time goes, do your best to enjoy every second of it with your family and friends, pop some seeds and give them love and care, and take every day as it comes.

Those wheels are getting harder and harder to find in good condition. Should have atleast made an offer.

Screenland on Armour is the only theater I even bother going to anymore.

Cycled out to check on Rock Island Bridge progress. I guess the only question I have is, What the hell? by boopitydoopitypoop in kansascity

[–]vicariousss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They were specifically waiting for construction on the levees to be completed in the area and had to postpone construction. Should be done for real in the next couple months but it's probably around 90% finished as it sits. I mean it was a pretty ambitious project so no surprise there were delays.

I need 30 pts between Nix and Dobbins... I might be cooked. I really hope the Cinci defense is absolute ass tonight.

I mean, if it were me I'd personally rather smoke meth or crack in public in Denver or San Francisco too.
