Yo OTT, TFN lives with his parents.

[darthbudge]

C'mon talk about lame. You know, taking care of his mom and all. He is like TMK Jr. Except less awkward around, well, everyone. ;)

8-)

[Brak]

And a firm boner.

[The Mana Knight]

Haha, good OTT title:
That is nothing. I have a friend of mine who is 19. He doesn't have a car or a license/permit. He still lives at home and has to pay rent.

Also, up until like last week, his parents wouldn't let him watch any PG-13 rated movies. Also, he is only allowed to go out and do stuff with friends once a week.

That is sad right there.I'm glad my parents won't let me pay rent. Let's just say my Dad doesn't want me using the stove/oven because he thinks I'll burn myself and I'm too young to cook for myself. However, I usually use it when he's not home.

[Sleepkyng]

fruist

that's right, cock ranglers, i am fruist.

[tiredfornow]

:rofl: TMK has to be fucking kidding.

You're a grown ass dude and you can't use the stove? :rofl:

[darthbudge]

WTF happened to my OTT?

[lordwow]

Nioce.

[Sleepkyng]

WTF happened to my OTT?

Brackles happened.

[Brak]

WTF happened to my OTT?
I deleted it.

I have no idea.

[lordwow]

Too young to use a stove oven? Whatttt you're older than I am.

[darthbudge]

Brackles happened.

My OTT was clearly 1 minute ahead of his OTT. I believe a merge would be in order.

[Temporaryscars]

TFN, you've probably already thought of this, but have you approached her parents with the idea from a completely economical point of view?




It's kind of moot at this point, but here's the cover letter I sent last night. This one doesn't have the small fuckup that the other had, but whatever, you get the idea.

Hello, my name is Michael BauXXXXX and I’m interested in the Marketing Specialist/Web Administrator position at XXXX. I have a bachelor's degree in journalism from New Paltz University and have a little over three years of combined experience in print journalism and public relations. I feel as though I’d be the perfect fit for the position because, along with my experience in PR and journalism, I’m also versed in basic web development, as many of my previous jobs required me to work on their website. To add to that, I also took some introductory classes in college and with that training, I know I can handle the responsibilities the position requires to help XXXXXX achieve its goals. I hope that you will consider me for an interview so that we could discuss this further.

P.S. I would like to restate my desire to interview for the position of Marketing Specialist/Web Administrator. XXXXX is No. 1 on my list of companies I want to work for. I am available immediately and can be reached on my mobile phone at 315-XXX-XXXX. Thank you!

[Rocko]

I want to go home. -_-

Brax, did you watch Vengeance is Mine yet?

Temp, how about them DVDs?

[Mojimbo]

Goddamn, he's like 25 or 26 too. :-|

...

I'll never forgive you for insinuating that he gets more play than me or Brak combined, TFN.

[senorwoohoo]

Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti....

<3Chappelle

[senorwoohoo]

Don't add P.S.'s, temp.

And you want me to take a stab at the rest?

[Sleepkyng]

That looks pretty good - it's a little boring though. Try to use phrasing that doesn't sound like what everyone says - avoid things like "a perfect fit" not because it doesn't work, but because it sounds like a generic letter.

using a more personal style sounds like you're speaking directly to their company and not a bunch of companies

:rofl: TMK has to be fucking kidding.

You're a grown ass dude and you can't use the stove? :rofl:My Dad is freaking annoying. He won't let me do anything. He's the entire reason I was not allowed to get a license back when I was 16 (when I had lots of motivation to get it). Seriously, my Dad fucking treats me like a kid. He won't let me have any friends over unless I have to answers TONS of questions he asks me about them. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if my Dad would want to hit me if I had sex, but oh course I'd never tell him that.

Like I said, I DO use the stove/oven, just now when he's around.

I'm getting new bedding soon anything.

[tiredfornow]

She's paying for her own school and crap, Temp. It makes sense for her to stay at home cause her parents are wealthy and she doesn't really pay for anything besides school and her personal expenses. I'm sure once shes done or when she turns 21 she'll start thinkin' about it though.

In the five years we've been together, I've only really talked to her parents six or seven times, since they're kinda strict and her mom isn't too fluent in english. Her dads never home though, so yeah. Its cool though, it'll happen when it happens.

[Sleepkyng]

My OTT was clearly 1 minute ahead of his OTT. I believe a merge would be in order.

when you're old enough, you'll get to merge.

but it's just not possible to merge young'un budgy and Brakdaddy content together. that's against nature.

[Rocko]

...You're in your mid-20s and your father polices your friends and your use of common household appliances?

Your life must have been a living fuckin' hell when you were 16.

[tiredfornow]

He does, Jimbone.

Not my fault.

[Mojimbo]

That's some sick teenage mid-twenties angst.

[lordwow]

Don't add P.S.'s, temp.

Agreed.

[Brak]

Brax, did you watch Vengeance is Mine yet?
Not yet. 8-)

I was looking at The Pornographers (http://criterion.com/asp/release.asp?id=207), this morning - done by the same guy - and it reminded me that I should watch it soon.
Goddamn, he's like 25 or 26 too. :-|

...

I'll never forgive you for insinuating that he gets more play than me or Brak combined, TFN.
Yeah. Fuck that.

My ex was a nymphomaniac, or slut, or something...

Besides, it took me, like, an hour to get off my first time -- out of fear.

[The Mana Knight]

Too young to use a stove oven? Whatttt you're older than I am.Yeah, it's stupid. My parents freaking baby me and I'm sick of it. I so want to move out and get away, but I just lack the funds to do it. And even if I'm away (like when I was away at college), my parents fucking call me all the time. I'll never forget my Dad would call me every Friday/Saturday night asking me what I'm doing, then say he's just checking up on me.

Anyway, this is the bedding I'm looking at:

I tried that once and it seemed to just go down in flames, so I just stick to the safe stuff. Next time, i'll try it again. At this point, I don't have much to lose.

Well then, to me, and I may be wrong about this, but it looks like you wont be moving in with her until she's done with school, emmirite?

[Trakan]

I don't play by all that "But mine was posted a minute earlier!" bullshit.

I got nothing against you budge, but when was the last time we saw a Brak OTT? Doesn't happen very often.

I also happen to <3 the title.

[Sleepkyng]

wait, as far as i'm aware, the vast majority of y'all don't get play so what's up with all the jockeying?

[Brak]

Trakan has Bulls bedding, in the back.

[The Mana Knight]

...You're in your mid-20s and your father polices your friends and your use of common household appliances?

Your life must have been a living fuckin' hell when you were 16.Yeah it sucks. But, there is some good. Who bought my PC (which was $1400 at the time), my monitor, 32" HDTV, pays internet bill, electric bill, cell phone bill, my car, my college education, etc.? My Dad, so I cannot really complain about that, since it kept me out of debt. I have to pay for all my games and such though.

[tiredfornow]

The dudes with steady girlfriends get play, but I've had my share of fun back in the day before I settled down. Even once while in a relationship. #-o

Brak just doesn't like pink anymore.

--

If my mom gets back on her feet and gets rid of all the debt shes in, I'll move out, but shes in a hole pretty deep since she didn't have insurance a while back and she pretty much lost everything when she got really, really sick. She still has her days and crap where she'll miss one or two days of work and spend a couple of times at the doctor, but its not so bad now since shes not paying 100-200 bucks every time she goes. And her medications are like, 1/10th of the price.

It'll happen in the next two years or so, I hope.

[Sleepkyng]

I tried that once and it seemed to just go down in flames, so I just stick to the safe stuff. Next time, i'll try it again. At this point, I don't have much to lose.


i don't mean you should write in hip hop verse or something, just present your case and include one or two really strong contextual sentences that states clearly and particularly why you'd be a good fit, like - "I'm well trained in PHP and enjoy working on group oriented projects" if they had mentioned something along those lines in the application.

Hey, TMK. Have you ever had a wet dream on your Bulls bedding?

I changed a few things like having too many "also"s in there. In my opinion, if you use "in addition" or something like that, you don't need an "also." I didn't take out the P.S. because it could work like that article said. Just give it a shot, I say.

I also happen to <3 the title.You wanted to laugh at my Chicago Bulls bedding. ;) Like I said, I'm finally replacing it soon. I just didn't replace it because I was originially going to wait until I got new furniture and completely moved out (most funds of mine go to gaming and other stuff), but since my bedding is torn up a little (I've had it for several years), has chew marks from my old dog, and so on, I should replace it.

My Bulls bedding in my room, been used since 1999:

There you go. Dkellar worked with me on it a few weeks back.

[The Mana Knight]

Wow. Maybe I missed it but is there a reason he won't let you use the stove?My Dad does this to my sister (who is even older than me) and me. My Mom feels it's stupid, my Dad seriously forgets our ages all the time. I'll still never forget when we went Putt Putt (I was 10, and my sister was 13), my Dad thought my sister and I were 6 and 9. :lol:

Now let me just ask, if anyone else in the OTT had controlling parents, what would they do? Would you let them continue because at least they are paying for a lot of your stuff, or would you rather just completely break lose (pay for everything, but at least you get more independence). My Dad probably wants to run us out of the house, I'm thinking.

well i mean, another way you can go is interning somewhere part time and trying to get a leg in that way.

in any case, you can't get down on yourself - lack of self-confidence is a killer - if you dont' think you can get the job, you won't.

and in an interview, if they can tell that you don't think you can do the job, you won't... as in won't get the job.

I'm great when it comes to interviewing, it's just that I never actually get that far, even when I apply to jobs that i'm overqualified for. I honestly and truly believe that i'm cursed. I mean, I know that sounds crazy, but how else could you explain it? You know how in some ads, they list each skill you should have for the job? There have been plenty where i've met every single one and yet, I don't even get an accidental phone call. It has to be a curse.

seriously man, you're in your mid twenties and aren't allowed to use a stove, that is fucked up.

all geek and nerd jokes aside - you're missing out on a lot of autonomy, and with that comes new experiences like... not playing video games and learning new things and meeting new people.

it's not to have a house party, but you can't even ask a girl over to watch a movie - now how you gonna get play or learn to not prematurely ejaculate if you can't even have a girl over to watch a movie?

how you gonna make a bomb ass macaroni and cheese casserole if you can't use a stove?

There you go. Dkellar worked with me on it a few weeks back.I need to update my resume also. Mine is pretty much done, just that I struggle with the objective. Main reason is I honestly don't know which portion of electronics I want to seek a job in, because I like analog electronics, audio, microcontrollers, Digital Systems, PCB design, RF, etc. It's not like I'm saying, to seek a job in microcontrollers.

I wouldn't post my resume here since that would give away my address/phone number, and I wouldn't want someone to report me (like when terribledeli and Sean wanted to report me if they knew my address, for what I said at CAG a few times).

I'll admit, my room use to be way worse when I was 15 years old and younger. Here's some old pictures I scanned:

or the job market could be super saturated in your field or in your area - are you prepared to uproot and move anywhere for a job?


like i said, if you want to get a job near where you live and it's tough - try to intern or go direct to the offices and ask in person for an interview - that's the clearest way to signal that you're serious about getting the job.

[Temporaryscars]

I agree with sleep. I just would leave. That's all there is to it.

I'm prepared, but my girlfriend of 4+ years isn't.

At this point, I don't really care what job I get, I just want to get paid more than i'm getting paid now. I took the job knowing the pay was lousy because I thought it would lead to other things. It has been almost a year now since I took it and nothing has come of it, except maybe an ulcer and high blood pressure.

I thought about the intern route, but every place that offers interning only opens it to college seniors.

ah, you didn't mention the GF of 4+ years.

yeah, then that is rough mang. when it comes down to it, you'll have to figure that out with her - because some job fields are going to be tough in some regions - so maybe you have to move out of state for 2 years and then come back when your resume is bangin'

I'm definitely luck because it wasn't too hard convincing my girl to move to Paris, that's for sure :D

how you gonna make a bomb ass macaroni and cheese casserole if you can't use a stove?

man, why you even gotta do a thing?I see what you mean and I agree. In my own apartment though, I only used the stove to make Rice or Spaghetti. My Dad thought the reason I had a box of rice with my stuff was for my Mom could visit me and coke it (yeah right). :lol:

Impressive trophies, TMK.

Have you ever considered saving money to move out instead of buying games?They are just bowling trophies, from coming 3rd in a tournament and for participating in a league two years. I also had a plaque from volunteer work I did in H.S.

As for moving out, I just need a good job to get enough money. Right now, I'm not making money. If I got the job this summer (until the guy changed his mind), I would have been able to do that.

Wait, does your mom live there too?

Does your dad beat her up or something?Yeah. She doesn't really beat her up. My Dad use to beat on me when I was 14 or younger, when he had too much to drink. I'll still never forget the time my Dad picked me up, slammed me against a closet door, then tossed me across the room, all over a disagreement. Thankfully my Dad stopped. I'll admit one reason I did not drink had to be abused by my Dad.

I feel your pain temp. I'm stuck here in Boston now, and the job market is awful.The job market in my hometown is even worse (where I live now). Unless you are a doctor, lawyer, or son/daughter of a bunsiness owner, you cannot get anything. If I'm going to get a job, I MUST move out, but I only have like $500 to get started with. First off, I want to get my transportation issues solved. Once I get them solved, I'll look elsewhere more seriously. It may hurt because I'm trying to stick to the midwest for a job (It's where I'm most comfortable living and housing is cheap). I don't really want to move out west or east since housing prices are high (I believe they are high in Boston). Some think me moving out East/West (getting far away from my parents) would be a good thing and help me grow up more. I'll probably stick to IN, IL, KY, OH, and MI.

Well... They have asked me a few times to be a DJ, or news director, or audio production... but I refused.

I'm - somewhat - content with what I'm doing, right now. I say 'somewhat' because it's just a job... and I don't want to make a career out of any job. Until I can do what I want to do for a living (teh artz), I'll just work jobs.

If, say, I ever knocked up a girl, or something wild... I'd step up and get a job that brings in some butter.

(I'd only be a radio DJ if it were for, like, NPR... and it were a contemporary program that didn't feel like radio, and I played music I liked, and talked about whatever I felt like saying. Small market radio has no room for creativity... or even personality, for that matter. Yuck.)

You have to pay for health insurance or else they fine you $900/year, and the one the state offers is about $2k/year.

Yeah, I know how you feel. My job does offer benefits, but that would just mean they'd take about $25 out of my paycheck, and the insurance sucks. It has a $500 deductible on EVERYTHING. It's pretty much "oh shit" insurance, in case someone shoots an RPG at you.

How readily you can listen to music, on-demand, through MP3s and online sources, podcasts, satellite radio (which is still radio, but a vastly different market) and how advertising has just saturated the airwaves so much...

"The sound is really bad, how do we get good sound?" Buy AV equipment (XLR)...

I'm more partial to the time you blacked out and threw a chair at your teacher.

Why did you do that again?I was in Elementary School. I was getting a detention because I forgot to bring my pencil to Science Lab. My teacher had a strict rule, one check = noon detention, and I was trying to stay out of it all semester. I ended up getting a detention coupon out of it actually. Let's just say I had a really short fuse at the time.

A week later (this was the story I kind of told people), my music teacher made me angry, so I threw a recorder at her (a musical instrument). After I did, she told me to do whatever discipline my teacher had. I wasn't going to tell her, but someone in my class did, so I was going to get detention. I was quite upset over the issue, so my teacher sent me out in the hallway (I was constantly sent out to the hallway back in Elementary School). I got tired of waiting, so I slammed the door really loud (everyone could hear it). I jumped and started kicking my 4th grade teacher and can't remember if I gave him a punch or not. After that, I got sent to the Principals Office for the rest of the day. I got tired of being there, so I picked up a chair and threw it in the Principals office. All I got out of this was a detention.

After that, I did nothing bad. I was quite a troubled child early on, but when I got to middle school and above, I completely changed.

I sure do. Those guys were great. Rumor has it they're trying to make a come back.

Why do you ask?

Funny you should mention that. I saw an ad for a local bar around here and these douchebags are actually playing there this weekend. It made me go and dig up the old interview on youtube. Classic shit.

[The Mana Knight]

Missed this earlier.

And yes, housing is high high high as the sky here.

I'm paying almost $1000/month for a studio (like I'll have to show pictures so you can see how small it is). It's right in the middle of the city though. The fiancee and I are moving out of the city to a $1350/month massive 1 BR with ridiculous amenities (gym,pool, walking distance to train, etc), but she just got a FT job that pays more than we were both making combined. Hopefully I'll have a job by when we move in in late August.My Studio near my college was $460 a month, and despite it going up, it still only costs $505 a month. A two bedroom apartment (like the one I lived in) was $360 a month. In my hometown, housing is even cheaper.

The most expensive studio which was next to my college (and brand new) cost $750/month. Regardless, housing is much cheaper. Oh course I hear people make more money on the East Coast, but I really don't think people are making 2X more for the same jobs (I'd have to research). That's why I want to just stick to the Midwest.

[senorwoohoo]

Hot shit. Thanks a ton. <3

I'll PM you my info.

Absolutely.

[Maklershed]

Dude you have to go and check them out. With any luck they'll still have corn rows.

[dcfox]

I just got through the second act of MGS4 :whee:

[Brak]

I was in Elementary School. I was getting a detention because I forgot to bring my pencil to Science Lab. My teacher had a strict rule, one check = noon detention, and I was trying to stay out of it all semester. I ended up getting a detention coupon out of it actually. Let's just say I had a really short fuse at the time.

A week later (this was the story I kind of told people), my music teacher made me angry, so I threw a recorder at her (a musical instrument). After I did, she told me to do whatever discipline my teacher had. I wasn't going to tell her, but someone in my class did, so I was going to get detention. I was quite upset over the issue, so my teacher sent me out in the hallway (I was constantly sent out to the hallway back in Elementary School). I got tired of waiting, so I slammed the door really loud (everyone could hear it). I jumped and started kicking my 4th grade teacher and can't remember if I gave him a punch or not. After that, I got sent to the Principals Office for the rest of the day. I got tired of being there, so I picked up a chair and threw it in the Principals office. All I got out of this was a detention.

After that, I did nothing bad. I was quite a troubled child early on, but when I got to middle school and above, I completely changed.
That story is so good.

I forgot about you throwing the recorder at your music teacher.

[Temporaryscars]

Dude you have to go and check them out. With any luck they'll still have corn rows.


Hahahah. Think so? I dunno, I really hated that song they played on Howard's show, and the bar is in a pretty sketchy area of town. But I was thinking about going with my camera in case they started a fight with the audience, which i'm almost positive will happen.

[Maklershed]

That will absolutely happen. Someone will inform them of their sucktitude and they'll flip out. :lol:

[lordwow]

What is it that you do again, wowzer?

Currently:

The university I attended has security people at the front desk of every dorm 24 hours a day. I supervise them, answer calls regarding security issues there, do rounds around campus to check on all the proctors and the buildings and contact Residential Life (RAs) staff when people are locked out and such. We have a separate (legitimate) police force, so it's not like a campus cop thing. I'm technically employed by the Housing Department.

It pays very well, especially since I work 6 AM shifts which are given a differential (paid more because no one wants to work them), but it's part time so no benefits.

I also do freelance videography/editing when I can get it for some extra cash, but the offers are limited due to my location.

They played a good mix between their more ambient/drone-y stuff and their rockin' out stuff. They also had a guest "supesharu gitarst" (Saying "Hello, Aushin" and introducing him were the only things they said to the audience :rofl:), which surprised me.

Very true.



WTF happened to the OTT?! Is this yet another example of the mods bending over backwards for TMK and his sensitivity issues?

[Maklershed]

I just did a little checking ..

Budge created an OTT at 12:10

Brack created an OTT at 12:11

[Temporaryscars]

I just did a little checking ..

Yeah but Trakan already deep sixed budges' because, as he put it, he liked this one better.

[Sleepkyng]

mmmmmmmmh hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[The Mana Knight]

:rofl:


If TMK had such a problem with it, then why did he post in here so much?I never said anything actually (being 100% honest). I found the OTT quite funny and liked it. What happened was I got the following message when trying to see if any new posts were made in the thread "No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator". I wondered if the OTT was removed or something. I dunno what happened, but I liked the OTT title to be honest.

Anyway, I'm about to make some SingStar videos which I will post on YouTube. I'm debating what I'll sing to.

I dunno TMK, I mean, don't get me wrong, you seem like a very nice dude and you're really into gaming, which is cool, but you just seem like a very sensitive person. I know it's not your fault and it's probably the result of a few chinks in the armor that was your upbringing, but you have to learn to let the small stuff slide. How many OTT posts were deleted by mods after you complained that we were razzing on you a little? We all give each other shit here, it's what we do and everyone knows it's (usually) nothing personal and all in the name of fun, so I can't help but think you had something to do with it.

I never said the game sucks. Did you miss where I complimented the gameplay? All I'm saying is if I could sit and watch a 5 hour movie instead of having to play through it for 15 hours why wouldn't I? This isn't true for all games but I think for a game like MGS where the emphasis is on the story it's perfectly fine to make that kind of statement.

[Brak]

A friend of mine once wore the same pair of jeans for, like, 2 months, or something wild.

The thighs were green, because he'd eat Doritos and Cheetos and wipe the cheese dust on his jeans. Orange + Blue = Green

I actually had my first one on Thursday night, as I usually get the Guinness Glazed Bacon Cheeseburger. They give you four Monte Cristo slices, and I ate three, and I pretty much felt the way I feel after eating a lot at a buffet. So it wasn't like I felt awful, but I was pretty stuffed. The next day, I ate the last piece for lunch, and I felt like shit the entire afternoon. Horrible, horrible stomach feelings.

So delicious though. I probably won't ever order it again, though.
