can i just say:
ytth has been trying to hire someone at his work and about 99.9% of applicants are fucking idiots - they don't read the job listing properly, they send the most generic cover letters, and they say the most generic bullshit during interviews.
tza, you are anything but generic or boring, so you should feel confident about applying for a cool new job!!!! everyone else applying sucks!!!

ps i secretly want to become a dog trainer because i am tired of office bs. Also I need to learn all this training stuff anyway and my dog trainer charges mad $$$. And doggies are better than people...though i guess there is a lot of people training in dog training.

it's an entry-level position (kind of admin assistant thing, i think?), but his company is basically the best work environment a person could imagine.

how does anyone afford to live in sf?
― tehresa, Friday, 12 July 2013 18:44 (ten years ago) link
a. they work for some start-up that has more venture capital than they know what to with
b. they rent a walk-in closet (literally) for $2000 a month
OR you can work in sf and live in our pretty little city and pay $1200 p/m for a nice 2bd w/garage and yard (although we discovered recently we are paying waaaaaaaaaaaaay under market value) and commute 45mins each way.

would it not be better to enquire in person?
― lxy, Saturday, 18 April 2015 14:23 (nine years ago) link
surely the situation needs assessing post haste?
― lxy, Saturday, 18 April 2015 14:24 (nine years ago) link
its over twenty years (god) since we left school for the summer in donegal and told our friends/classmates we were moving to seattle where my dad was due to take up a marine professorship or idk what.
after a summer of increasingly disturbing fuckery and brokenminded parenting we ended up living with cousins on that island I keep posting about instead, where I had to learn irish for five years.
he owes me a week in seattle, basically, is the point
― esperantzen (p much resigned to deems), Saturday, 18 April 2015 14:27 (nine years ago) link
i like 'post haste' in the context of ilx. but i always have to confirm to it's actually a thing before hitting submit because it's too perfect.
― lxy, Saturday, 18 April 2015 14:28 (nine years ago) link
XP I'll ask him in person in a fortnight, which only requires I wait a fortnight and spend no extra money. then I'll be right back to u with an answer.
― esperantzen (p much resigned to deems), Saturday, 18 April 2015 14:29 (nine years ago) link
that was an xxp I did not employ enough post haste
― esperantzen (p much resigned to deems), Saturday, 18 April 2015 14:30 (nine years ago) link
i think your island years weren't all bad? otoh i don't know what i'm talking about so.
he certainly owes you a week, if not the whole five years.
― lxy, Saturday, 18 April 2015 14:33 (nine years ago) link
xptoo
i will be here in two weeks to learn the outcome
― lxy, Saturday, 18 April 2015 14:35 (nine years ago) link
they weren't all bad at all but at the same time there's no point letting him know that if there's free lodging up for grabs, and I def begrudge the Irish lessons.
― esperantzen (p much resigned to deems), Saturday, 18 April 2015 14:38 (nine years ago) link
marine professorship
like biology or maritime industry? if the latter and he needs employment he should connect with our jergins.
― lxy, Saturday, 18 April 2015 14:44 (nine years ago) link
it would have been the latter twenty years ago I guess, but he is very old now and I wouldn't recommend him to work with anyone I'd be afraid for him to fall out with tbh
― esperantzen (p much resigned to deems), Saturday, 18 April 2015 14:49 (nine years ago) link
but he is talking with contacts there about work as is so I guess he plans to se(a)ttle for a while
― esperantzen (p much resigned to deems), Saturday, 18 April 2015 14:51 (nine years ago) link
haha fair enough!

has that new yorker article made seattle rents cheaper and salaries higher?
