New Official ATOT Nef Thread II

[MotF Bane]

I haven't decided if I'll go hide in a lab to make the phone call, or an abandoned office.

Lab: the vents are very loud, but there is computer access.
Office: it's very quiet, but there's no computer.

Obviously I won't stay right here, it's loud from the vents and I could have people bothering me.

 

[MotF Bane]

I'm inclined to say office.

 

[MotF Bane]

After all, the quiet is important, and I don't really expect to need a computer.

LOL. Honestly, while I really like their company, I am using this as more practice. Even if I get an offer, it will have to be an otherwordly offer to make me leave my current place of employment. I can do better in terms of salary than I am now, but the benefits are so far out of this world that a company would have to pay me on the order of 30% to 40% more to make up for the benefits AND give me a big enough raise to make me leave.

I made the jump for 30% raise on pay, worse benefits and kicked out of the door in 1.5 years :awe:

The universe conspired against me. The job I was at was getting unbearable because of management idiocy.

Yeah, Bane's fucked.

The calculus professor was all "yeah, I don't have much information", so he's winging the whole conversation, and just going on and on about how I got a shitty grade on the online homework. The fact that I realized I couldn't get above a 50, and thus stopped doing it, was irrelevant.

I barely even got to talk to him, it was more of him lecturing me about the homework and how lenient he is to everyone through the whole semester, and then telling me he had to leave and hanging up.

So what the fuck.

 

[MotF Bane]

10 minutes, without him actually having accurate numbers or even listening to me.

 

[MotF Bane]

That conversation was totally useless.

Now I get to email the EE chair, he's gonna scream something about no exceptions, say I'm getting booted from the classes.

Then I get to email both my calculus professor again, because the call was useless, and I get to email the engineering dean in hopes he'll do something.

Doh!

I took a pay cut coming here but the benefits more than made up the difference.

You're fighting a losing battle, my friend.

 

[MotF Bane]

EE chair says no. He sounds almost reasonable today, but still, he hasn't THOUGHT about it.

 

[MotF Bane]

You're fighting a losing battle, my friend.

Six years and 82000 dollars and this wasted summer to get a goddamned BS in EE from a third-rate school.

FUCK THIS SHIT.

 

[MotF Bane]

I just sent the last email, off to the Dean of Engineering.

 

[MotF Bane]

Bonus: now I get to explain this to my parents.

 

[MotF Bane]

I won't even bother emailing the calculus professor again, it's worthless. He doesn't even have a computer at home now apparently.

 

[MotF Bane]

If I could somehow get back on full-time work here, it would go a long way towards salvaging the summer, but... that's impossible.
