5:00 PM
I figured it out the moment you were gone
 
phone interview with sclumberger tomorrow, anyone got any advice?
 
just be yourself
 
ask kray-san
 
sorry if my advice sucks :(
 
@Unihedron better be the person the job wants to hire :p
sometimes that means pretty far from yourself
 
5:02 PM
@Hakase already done
just asking to see what comes up right now
 
ok ask Mad then
 
I'm doing my pre interview research atm
 
@ToshinouKyouko i don't understand what you're asking for
 
what you're supposed to do there
 
5:04 PM
@Hakase make and maintain front end for reporting for global use
 
@ton.yeung like, is it a programming job, help desk, etc
ah
good luck :)
 
interviews are about being the candidate who stands out and has a decent reason to hire, no? :p
idk
 
a lot of stuff matters
we know almost nothing so how can we advise
 
be in your best condition :D i guess
 
yea get sleep
always good
 
5:06 PM
it depends on a lot of things
you should just do your best and not worry about it too much :)
 
@Unihedron in the US, fit with culture in the business group you will be working in matters a lot
interpersonal skills are vetted if the org wants people to move up the ladders
 
@ToshinouKyouko this combination of words in one sentence makes it very hard to follow :D
 
@ToshinouKyouko I've never worked in a corporate environment before, and these guys are in the global fortune 500 ranking around 250
 
@Hakase :D fixed
 
there's no way i can play it cool
 
5:08 PM
@ton.yeung that means theres 499 other companies ;)
 
I really meant it's hard af to do best and not worry at the same time
 
unless your best includes not worrying, which in my case it doesn't
 
@ToshinouKyouko its pretty cut throat i heard in the fortune companies, makes me nervous
i have smaaaaaaaaaaaal..... confidence
 
@ton.yeung it depends entirely on which one you go to
although I have heard this too
 
5:10 PM
which is why I started with the biggest companies and ended up fuknoswhere :D
was extra relaxed too
 
after some thinking I realized I was most worried at the worst possible places and most relaxed at the ones that seemed the best
jobholm syndrome
 
good lord these guy's yearly earning are in the tens of billions $.$
 
@Taisho i really like that arist
artist
 
edit
#last
 
maybe i should stop this research... i'm getting really freaked out
 
sometimes knowing the company will give you an edge
for one company i didnt even talk about tech stuff and they wanted to hire me
 
i didnt take it cuz it sounded like they just accept whoever tho
 
relax and figure out what they'll be looking for
 
5:14 PM
@ToshinouKyouko must be nice to have that choice
at least my contract is going well
still need to figure out how much i'll charge though
 
I'm sure no real company will want you to know its history of CEOs from 1740s unless it's a japanese holding or something
 
@Hakase lol amen to that
I'm just gonna jot down the c-suites
 
yeah i meant more of an overview and why they're hiring etc
 
the company is really hush hush about which business unit i'm gonna be in so i can't really research details
 
hmm, i guess there's nothing you can do about that bit then
 
5:16 PM
just ask them on the spot what you're expected to be doing to get a better idea how much you should ask for etc
 
really all i can look at is their c-suite, who their competitors are, and their stock history
 
@Hakase yea, i have about 10 questions focusing on what they want me to do, training, and environment
 
you could theoretically stalk their employees and find out from social networks and such what they do at work but that's a bit crazy
 
@Hakase they have 120000 employees globally.. where do i even start?
 
5:17 PM
the folks on the same position you're aiming for
 
g'night
 
o/
 
@Hakase i dunno what position that is
 
I guess that's that then
 
yep.. i think that's part of why i'm stressing
 
5:18 PM
you can only prepare a generic list of questions and ask at the time
 
i feel like i'm going into this blind
 
you are lol
 
well at least now i know why i'm freaking out
now i just gotta come to terms with it
 
the feeling of not knowing something is one of the most common reasons for freakoutage
 
this tells me absolutely nothing...
other than they're huge and they have their fingers dipped in everything
 
5:20 PM
I never know what I'm gonna deal with when they transfer me from bank to bank and it ends up being major systems of random importance levels
from "we got this in 2007 and nobody ever used it" to "we got this in 2004 and all of the bank's money transactions depend on it"
 
@Hakase wow that last one sucks
 
the first one was a national universal card system and the other is the second largest bank group in the country lol
 
i feel sorry for russia considering what i've heard about your work place
 
haha yea you know it's bad when this is my first job :D
 
5:26 PM
ooh I like this one

donchiki tanaka
 
oh yea finally registered on pixiv and now I can see those pics
it's a palm tree :D
 
> The Black guys are still there
I dont understand how the blacks at my location are still there. I thought they would be the first to go, they are only there because of affirmative action. I guess with all the racial mess going on they are trying not to stir anything up.

Anonymous98254 (https://www.thelayoff.com/schlumberger)
 
LOL
affirmative action doesnt enforce quotas, that guy is an idiot
 
5:35 PM
I kinda sorta know now who these people are who post on such sites after having worked with some >.>
 
5:48 PM
we don't know who posted that
 
Time for another hardcore episode of Grisaia
 
@nhahtdh which Grisaia?
 
@shaggy Grisaia no Rakuen, but if you have just started, you should watch from Grisaia no Kajitsu first
Btw, Imouto = Immortal
 
@ton.yeung honestly im surprised he called them "blacks", thats one of the unfortunate things about working in the G & O industry, lots of racism going on..lots of idiots.
@nhahtdh thats what i was wondering. thanks for the tip
 
@shaggy again, i posted it because of its amusement factor, not because i took it seriously
 
6:15 PM
@ton.yeung oh i know that
 
its an anonymous post by people who don't like the company
 
understood
 
this could be a black person posting it to rile up the employees that stayed, or an attempt at corporate sabotage by a rival
 
thats very true
 
is very try
 
6:16 PM
@Frosteeze im a tryhard what can i say
 
okay, employer research done, now to review the skills they want
this is gonna be a pain
 
@ton.yeung i was just saying that kind of thing is more than prevalent, and almost a daily thing in the industry wether it be a small company or halliburtin/slumburger... i honestly think theyll brush it off with out a thought.. worse things go on daily. don't think it will hurt them
@ton.yeung good luck with the gig though. should be lucrative.
 
i just hope i have good coworkers/bosses
I gave an average salary requirement
 
 
1 hour later…
7:28 PM
@ton.yeung i'm sure you will
 
I'm guessing you didn't hear about the layoffs
 
...i'm the one that mentioned that the first time you mentioned O&G... ! I work in the industry! haha
so yeah im aware
i'm just trying to be positive
but yea. GL. back to watching angelic layer
 
@shaggy oh right!
I'm concerned about how they'll treat an upstart
even within SLM the division is a bit different from what i hear
ahhh this is making me nervous again
 
DB: Super ^_^

Q: Can anyone recommend a good anime with humour and a good plot?

emily wiebeI'd really like to watch an anime with some good humour and a good plot line. Something along the lines of fairytail or one piece for plot lines and humour like the devil is a part-timer.

 
8:22 PM
@Hakase where did you 'hear' that lol? but to some degree thats true, I tried about 8 different titles, and nothing was really pleasing, and most were just ports from the last gen with a few new pieces of content. honestly the only thing that was really enjoyable for me was replaying GTA V, and Diablo3 RoS ....and then i mentioned neverwinter..considering its a free MMO, its not to shabby at all!. did you have any recommendations ?
 
none at all
I have had no consoles since ps1
you could probably trade it for a ps4 on your local craigslist or in a similar fashion
 
@Hakase yeah thats the plan, or to sell it and build a PC
or buy a prebuilt of powerPC
 
heh
you could like Destiny tho
doesn't ps4 have any exclusives you'd be interested in?
what about Bloodborne?
did you play and like any Souls games?
Demon Souls and Dark Souls 1/2
 
oh yeah i forgot about that i played through that, was my first game actually but once i got end game(at the time) it seemed the only thing you could do was run weekly dungeons/raids....im sure this has changed since there or more content... destiny is a great game, just at the time where i was networked up to had a horrible connection, and well mad play very unenjoyable
@Hakase havent played either, i have looked into/watched reviews for dark souls.. but still havent played.. i'm just hesitant to spend anymore money on games for a system i'll probably be selling/tradding resulting in loss of resell value instantly
no worries though
 
you could sell along with your games and add the price for them
I hear that is common practice these days
people who will buy consoles will probably want to have games for them, so they would spend money for those games in any case
 
8:35 PM
i wish i could join the pc master race
i have to save up about 3K as an emergency fund, then pay off some debt, then work on my house before I can even think of buying a new PC outside of my current pc dying T.T
 
you could always get discount parts if you're desperate for a new pc

Q: Can someone please tell me the name of this manga?

Rubi I don't know the plot or anything I just saw this picture and thought it was really cute. Please help!

 
9:34 PM
finally made the transformation I wanted with isometric and rectangular view… but some numbers don't make sense to me
of course
because the resulting isometric tiles are way too big
 
10:03 PM
weed weed weed.. LMS is so entertaining
 
late might simgur?
 
legendary moonlight sculptor
the first few chapters are depressing, but its all uphill from there
 
stupid visual studio bug strikes again
this time without sourcetree
 
@shaggy A New Mexico parent attempted to have the work banned from her local school district, but her plea was denied. Russian parents made a similar request to Vladmir Putin.

A: Windows 2008 R2 - Kernel (System Process PID=4) is locking files and folders

Maiku MoriAs Dani has already mentioned in the comment: It's a bug in Windows 7 and likely in Windows Server 2008 (possibly 64bit versions only). It surfaces when you disable Application Experience service. Re-enabling this service has fixed this problem for me. A bit more info here as to why it's causi...

I remember turning that thing off…
 
10:15 PM
y
 
xyz
 
gonna see if it reappears after enabling the service
 
@Hakase did you want me to read it?
 
I remember you had the same problem and thought you could use this info
if not, oh well
 
@Hakase oh file locking
i'm fine with restarting
gives me an excuse to take a break
 
10:25 PM
the whole pc?
 
ah fuck, i need to find my suit and tie
i havne't worn it for two years
@Hakase yes
 
a bit radical, but a very nice excuse for a break

ok good luck with interview… wait it's a phone interview why do you need to find your suit?
 
he might pass his phone interview
 
10:28 PM
uhh…
 
nuttin wrong with overpreparing
gives you a great mindset
 
>.>
a suit would put me in a freaky mood
ohh! it's for… for how long after the interview?
assuming you'd have to show up in a suit at least once to sign the contract… maybe just once
I don't like suits, they're uncomfortable
ok then enough coding for today

Q: What is this manga about a girl with a disabled mom?

user14264Need help finding this manga. Only thing I really remember was that there was a girl whose mother fell down the stairs and now she's in a wheelchair, and she mentions to her friend that her mother is able to to certain things now such as using the restroom. The friend she's talking to I think is ...

 
11:10 PM
@nhahtdh the first 2 look fine to me. the third one i have deleted because i realized there's a huge gaping flaw and that's we aren't entirely sure how Unisons are born and when Agito was born (i seemed to have the impression that she was born during Belka)
@Taisho if we ever have a "Memes of Anime and Manga" in the Chat we can add one that i will always star shoujo ai/yuri images in the chat
@ToshinouKyouko google definition of nerd - "a single-minded expert in a particular technical field." so anyone who actually calls another person a Nerd is in fact showing jealously because they can not hope to be an expert in the field of the person they refer to as a nerd. with that said i prefer the term "Expert" because that's what i would be

Q: In Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage, who is this blue-haired guy sitting next to Boruto?

Ankit SharmaIn Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage manga, page 3 Who is the guy with blue hair sitting next to Boruto? Is it a new character or did I miss something from Naruto?

^ if i was to make this guess, the guy in the blue hair represents Sy's position in Bolt's team because Sarada represents both Sasuke and Sakura and you need 3 people in the team and unfortunately Sy had a daughter with Ino so she's needed for Ino-Shika-Cho and can't be in Bolt's Team
man the writers of Monogatari know how to pull on my strings. Suruga admits she's a lesbian and is in love with Senjogahara but problem is that Senjogahara, regardless if she is Bi or not, is dating Araragi so unless they break up any fan fictional work which pairs them wont be anything serious
and most people don't have the temperament to write a alternate universe fan fiction which would explain how Senjogahara finds out that Suruga is a lesbian and expresses she's one to before they start to date one another
 
11:26 PM
gonna have to be some curse that affects regular pairs and so they had to break up to be safe, and then Gahara went out with Suruga
or it could be a bit more dramatic, like only an unwholesome deed could save Araragi from a bad curse
there's really a lot of ways it could work
also it would take up a great deal of fanfic and I'm not sure anyone would want to deviate from the main part so much "just" for it all to make sense
 
Hi!
 
Hello, hello!
 
How are we all? :)
(Wow, you guys seem really into it here. I just bought the first two volumes of Deathnote ;p)
 
@Hakase having the cause of Senjogahara and Araragi break up to be a cause which forces them to break up or Araragi needing to do something bad to be freed from a curse which causes Senjogahara to break up with him is a cop-out (considering that Senjogahara has said herself she wont be the one to break up with Araragi) and as i said, to retcon all of it you'd need a great teal of temperament to write a good one
@Iplodman good, i completed Okami HD on the weekend, had to beat Yami twice because the power went out during the final scene before the credits, Platinumed it too (that makes 3 now).
also i got the Limited Edition Madoka Movies Dubbed, now i get to watch those Incubator shits get molested in English he, he, he, he, he
 
11:43 PM
Congratulations! c:
 
somehow that sounds less pleasant than it really is :P
 
@Unihedron what sounds less pleasant than it really is
 
I don't know.
