Temporary Leave
« on: Thu, 13 June 2013, 21:34:08 »
Girlfriend wants me off geekhack until I get a full-time job [40hrs part time is just not enough].
I completely understand this and agree. There are priorities.

Please PM me if you need me, I will still get email notifications of PMs. My email is also available fakeflight (at) gmail.com if you want to contact me directly.
I will be back by Fall. [unless i get accepted into my teaching certificate program - in that case I will be back in the winter]

Until next time,
Last

I'd take your email off since we can email you to the account bound to your email under your avatar. :

Does 40hrs part time mean odd shifts and partial days or something?  40hrs was full time where I came from.

I think his point was that now that your email is on display with @ and everything spambots can easily grab it and start spamming you.
That's why you often see people listing their mail as something (at) gmail dot com.

I mean this in the most positive way - you have your priorities right!

That doesn't even work! I've tested sending emails to myself several times and it never worked.

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

40 hours part time could be half a day here, half a day there, shift work, on call.

Full time might be 9 to 5 kinda thing.

I'm still confused.. your gf wants you to get a full time job, which is 40 hours, but you're currently working 39.6 hours?

Probably his employer jerking him around and avoiding having to pay benefits by scheduling him below 40.




If that isn't the reason I'm confused by what your GF is asking you to to. Find a new job?
