I've been traveling for over a month now... make it stop

[Squeetard]

Stop trying to help this guy. If I had to work along side him I would drive myself off the Grand Canyon.

You'll never get and keep a job you want because of your attitude unless you make a drastic change to it.

 

[Tweak155]

You should start your own company called Pity Party and be the CEO. Your highly trained skills at finding every excuse possible are excellent.

 

[Ns1]

Because I took a.....*gasp*....entry level position without worrying about what specific field it was in!

Wait, so let me get this straight... Knowing that you had no IT experience you took whatever job you could get in the industry?

Exactly!

mind = blown

 

[TridenT]

Elaborate?

One of the dances I do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9xxeWRxSbA

It's not super common here in Phoenix. They do a white washed version here that's disrespectful to the dance. (Cultural appropriation at its finest...) I'll leave it at that.

I don't get the problem here. So your resume has a ton of Seattle stuff but your current address is Phoenix. If they're confused and ask, say "I'm from Seattle but have relocated here." It really is that simple.



Yeah, I don't know why this is even a discussion.

I already do that. Yet, Capt DipFuck says that I am doing something wrong. (And I already mentioned in the thread previously that I do that)

Other people do it. I know people personally who have done what I am trying to do. The difference is that they were able to get internships and I got shot down for every internship that I applied for. (They were in the CS department. I wasn't.)

If you really cared about that dancing you would try to start your own club for it. But we all know that would never happen because you are lazy as shit and not a go getter

 

[z1ggy]

Guys, guys... are we maybe creating the first nominee for 2015 pwnage of the year thread award???? I think we might be on to something!!!!

Hilariously enough, I got my first entry level engineering job in a city & state that I wasn't even living in! Whoa, shit is cray right? Also, I had 0.00% experience or internships in the industry that I now work in. Amaze.

Spoken like someone who has never organized a social dance or club in their life. I have. I know what it takes. I have no interest in doing that here. It would be large loss and isn't worth the time. If I was year for multiple years, I'd consider it.

I have not but my wife has,. Again you are just full of excuses.

You cry about not having social activities when you could easily do something about it. It's not like you are trying to ski in a desert.

If you can't find Lindy dancers in Phoenix, the problem is you.

If you can't find friendly people in Phoenix (especially dancers), the problem is you.

I've done blues and WCS. I've spent a lot of time with dancers here. I've dated dancers. I've introduced non-dancers to dance. The dance community here is not unfriendly.

I have hosted dances at my house. There are already established dances scenes as well. Before you whine about hosting a dance being different than organizing a club, the Arizona MR2 club (which I started) now has 150 members.

If you're so stuck on one specific exact version of one specific exact dance, you're doing dance wrong too. Learn to live. Learn to be flexible. Learn to enjoy life. Learn to enjoy people.

The problem is you, not Phoenix.

This thread just might make me survive work today. :thumbsup:

Can we get some of these threads more frequently?

You say people have done what you'd like to do b/c they had something that you don't. So, it's time to move dumbass.

I got recruited out of college and had a job in the fall of my senior year. Now, look at you. Yeah, you're a dipshit.

If it isn't swing music, it isn't swing dancing. They play a lot of non-swing music here at "swing dances". The dancing reflects the lack of swing music (I'm not talking about WCS either).

The people aren't friendly. People don't engage in conversations with me when I am there, even if I ask them to dance or what not. The amount of people who ask me to dance is absurdly low.

Your experience in the WCS community might differ from mine in lindy hop.

Dancing is different than a MR2 club. I don't know what you guys do with your club but I can tell you that hosting a dance isn't somethin' that I can just do as an outsider with ease. I know you may think it's similar but doing it right is not at all something to take lightly. Requires good DJs, good teachers, a good venue, and a good organizer/promoter. All of that is hard to find here. EDIT: And all of that costs money... And I rather not waste what little money I have left on a stupid risk. It wouldn't do anything for me in any way.

I'm not even going to touch the fire hazard that is of the rest of what you said.

 

[dank69]

I don't want to live in Phoenix. I rather die than work here. ...

Trident, from what little I know about you it's pretty clear that everywhere you go you will find more to complain about than you find to like.

thats not in the desert, that is in the mountains with snow.

this thread is like the jelly of the month club - the gift that keeps on giving.

 

[TridenT]

That's easy to do with everywhere. However, I don't like Phoenix.

I rather live in other places. SF and NYC are what I've been eyeing. Portland is what I was settling for before but the job market is horrendous even if you live there.

I have a strong feeling you will hate SF and NYC as much as you hate the desert. Maybe even more.

 

[TridenT]

I'm pretty doubtful. I liked being in SF during most of the times I was there. It helped that I was hanging out with a friend most of the time or doing other things. It is a bit dry at times.

NYC was okay. Nothing special on the social front but some of the people I like. Also, if I hate NYC I can always drive to Philadelphia, Boston, DC, or Baltimore for the weekend. (Or the day for Philadelphia) It is quite cold and cloudy though.
