Poll of the Day > ATTN: SpeedDemon20

(+) Yeah! (+)

I hope that our few remaining friends
Give up on trying to save us
I hope we come out with a fail-safe plot
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us

I hope the fences we mended
Fall down beneath their own weight
And I hope we hang on past the last exit
I hope it's already too late

And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here
Someday burns down
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away
And I never come back to this town again

In my life, I hope you lie
And tell everyone I was a good wife
And I hope you die
I hope we both die

I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow
I hope it bleeds all day long
Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises
We're pretty sure they're all wrong

I hope it stays dark forever
I hope the worst isn't over
And I hope you blink before I do
And I hope I never get sober

And I hope when I think of you years down the line
I can't find one good thing to say
And I'd hope that if you found the strength to walk out
I'd stay the hell out of your way

I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand

He drinks a whiskey drink, he drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink, he drinks a cider drink

In the morning, laughing, happy fish heads
In the evening, floating in the soup

Fish heads, fish heads
Roly-poly fish heads
Fish heads, fish heads
Eat them up, yum

---

Oh wait I forgot the bold:

I took a fish head out to see a movie
Didn't have to pay to get it in

---

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now its Istanbul not Constantinople

Welcome back!

Welcome back!

Thanks Buddy

How are you?

I'm doing okay. Trying to get a new job, so I don't have to live nearly paycheck to paycheck (California LUL). It's a government job though, so the interview process will be a pain.

How 'bout you?

I'm ok. I just moved to seattle (and just in time since being in austin seems terrifying right now ) and im happy to have moving over with. It still sucks since I can't do anything here until covid is over. But I was bored of living in the same space and I want to get a new job soon.

what are you going to do for the government? when i was a kid i thought it would be really cool to design bridges. i bet other kinds of civil engineering are cool too though!

I have not worked on a single bridge! The closest I've done is a overhead passageway connecting a parking garage to an office building.

The job description is vague enough that it could be anything! But it's on the opposite end of what I'm doing now, so I'll probably be telling people they can't build what they want to build because of some niche city code that was created decades ago. Then they'll fume vehemently internally and make a new, more costly design in hopes of approval, which will also be rejected.

I wanted to move to Seattle! Mostly because Dota (used to) hosts its biggest tournament there and Valve is also headquartered there.

What kind of job are you looking for? Something similar but with a different company? Is your work remote anyway? I still come into the office, so not a lot has changed for me really, aside from the masks. The job I'm applying to might be remote though. My current boss seems to be one of the deniers... so yeah, he makes us come in.

rejecting peoples' building ideas sounds fun. i would just make up reasons though since reading through old city codes sounds like too much work

im looking for another software job since im getting really frustrated with the company i work for. they're all remote right now but i would like to go into the office again at some point once this is over since i get bored of working from home
