What Are You Doing Right Now? (201 Viewers)

True dat. Funny thing is that I am applying for a residency visa. Except their bureaucracy is so backed up that I couldn't get a meeting until December. Which is funny because Schengen Europe agreements normally mean that as a 'Merican I can stay here only three months... or until August. But with a piece of paper showing my December appointment I can stay until then -- because they know how backed up it is.



Good to hear. And yes, possession is not a crime here.



Um poco. Also an excuse to work at it in immersion.



Yup. Been here for about a week and a half now. Just in time for Urovision.



So true to that. SF is getting heavily covered in tents and human feces. If I wanted that, I wouldn't leave my bathroom.



Long arm of the law.

No, looking for a new opportunity to shake things up ... something came through in Lisbon and I wuz like, "WTF? Why not?" So here I is...

MLB isn't too big here, I must warn you. But if you're into bearded men with nail polish or chubbies with Princess Leah haircuts, we gotz that. At least with Urovision in town.

Alrite man, hope it goes really well for you! And wife gotta be pleased to be back on familiar ground too!

Now that you've done it I think to myself you should have done it a long time ago

Thanks, Martin. Appreciate the kind words.

While the wife is Portuguese and has dual citizenship, she also never lived outside of Northern California before.

You are also probably right about that, though... haha. I think a lot of our friends were surprised less out of us finally doing something like that, but rather that it took us so long to try it out.

Hey, we have foreign-looking expat dudes in man-buns serving coffee as baristas ... so if it ain't the Urovision dudes, we got the hipster thing covered too.

Apparently they are giving me 5 working days off during the summer for my vacation. Everybody else got 10 (or 14 days), but I got half of it because I started working on February 14th. They don't even know how to calculate the days, yet they tried to lecture me today how I'm supposed to have 5. They are so ignorant they fail to realize I already have rights to use 5 days even at this point, let alone in August. I'm afraid to go to the work tomorrow because knowing my big mouth I'll set the whole building on fire. Fucking retards. And that's not the whole story. Apparently, well, when I use those 5 days, the next vacation I'll get is next year in August. Nothing before that.

That doesn't sound right, it's a certain amount of days per year, you can take them whenever.

I get 10 days too and I've been told not to take them all at once after I used them to go to Albania last summer.

Got the sack?

I've only been fired once in my life, after one day of work

I've been thinking of programming, but no idea what to begin with or focus on.

This is what I'm thinking as well, trying to get a good salary while I can, since my company doesn't seem to value my department much so there's little chance of lateral movement.

Speaking of which, anyone here into digital marketing?

I meant don't quit your job but at the same time learn a new skill

Time for the job application process to begin again

I graduated from college with minimal references, no internships, basically no work experience that was resume appropriate, no help from the career center at my college and no groups or accomplishments of note I did in college that would help me find a job. I had a meeting with a career counselor at the school and she, upon hearing this, tried to recommend to me retail management

Within six weeks after graduating I had received two job offers (one which is my current job) that were far better than anything I had expected to receive. Basically I waited until the last minute but then as soon as I graduated I worked for several days straight to make the most out of my resume than I applied to every single job that was possible day and night. I picked supply chain as a field (my degree was in finance) and just resume spammed like a mother fucker. I went to job sites like glassdoor and indeed and I searched over city and government job websites, hospitals etc basically things I imagined would have possible openings in supply chain and would require a lot of employees.

Went to a bunch of interviews, talked to job placement experts etc most of it turned out to bs. In fact I ended up with a few interviews that within seconds were obvious pyramid schemes. Even when its complete shit you gain experience, confidence and some funny stories for your friends.

Basically I learned two things. First tap your friends, family, drunk strangers you meet at bars or parties hard. Not only the opportunities they have but the ones they know about, their friends have, theyve heard about, everything. Get social, even if its not your thing

Two, apply to every single online job you would be remotely interested in taking regardless of whether you meet the qualifications or not. Just get on your computer and stay up all night spamming applications.

it's a lot like early days of trying to get laid. Stop being shy or worrying about a rejection, take your pants off and run through the streets and eventually someone, with a hole to fill, is gonna like what they see.

lol sounds very similar to my experience. love the pyramid scheme ones tho. especially when they make it sound nothing like it in the job application, you walk in and a 20 year old in an ill fitting cheap suit tells you he's the CEO of the company and you can make a shitload of money if you work hard.
