9/8 I am looking for a job. Any suggestions where to apply? I'm completing
an internship at Facebook. Resume available upon request. --toulouse
\_ Learn to indent. Tab = 4 spaces.
Zuckerberg is an asshole. Good luck.
\_ Speak for yourself. http://soda.berkeley.edu/~toulouse/screen.png
less displays tabs as 8 characters.
\_ No dumbass. Tab SHOULD be 8 spaces. Has been since 1970. Thanks
to Microfuckingsoft, 4 spaces became more popular.
\_ My suggestion is Twitter, if you want to work hard, learn a lot
and possibly strike it rich. You can also ask me about jobs at
CBS Interactive (CNET), I like it here and you might, too.
Are you programmer or sysadmin? -ausman
\_ Programmer, but amateur sysadmin on my own time. I'll be applying
to twitter of course, but I would like to know about CBSi. Thanks.
\_ Are you good academically? I suspect you're asking here because
it's not so hot. If so, I suggest you move out of Northern Cal.
There will be a lot less competition, and a lot greater needs
for talented University Grad person such as you. Places like
Los Angeles are full of cal state-certified IT consultants.
You can be a big star there, plus there are actually women
there that you can actually date. Small pond, big fish. That's
where you want to be at yesss?
\_ No. I'm asking because my family is bankrupt. Jesus. --toulouse
\_ If you can't find a date in the SF Bay Area then you will
*really* have a problem in the LA area, where women tend
more to have a sense of entitlement and inflated sense of
self-worth. I had a lot more dates in the Bay Area and found
the women to be more genuine and friendly. Women in LA are
more attractive, but good luck finding one to date you
unless you are very rich or very handsome. If you have an
edge (in a band that books gigs and have lots of tattoos or
similar) you *might* have a shot at Sunset Strip skanks as
long as you don't mind they are banging other guys at the
same time. Part of an actual conversation at an LA bar:
Her: "What do you do for a living?"
Me: "I'm an engineer."
Her: "Do you think I should be impressed with that?
It seems everyone's an engineer."
\_ There are lots of cute women in LA that are pretty normal
and humble, but you won't find them on the Westside.
\_ That's for sure, but if you look anywhere else you
are probably going to be dating a single mom. I've
noticed a lot of beautiful women in LA are still
single into their 40s and it's because they are
high-maintenance and shallow and men use them and dump
them when they reach Four Oh. They complain they can't
find any good men, but the number one thing on their
mind is money and number two is looks. That's probably
true of women everywhere, but in LA it's so overt and
women never give up hope of landing their own George
Clooney until they reach 50. If you want to date
cougars it might be a good place.
\_ Stop trying to date beautiful high-maintenance women,
just go for the normal ones. Admittedly, they are bit
harder to find in LA, but they exist.
\_ So I should date hard-to-find women who are less
attractive. Doesn't that prove my point about LA
versus SF?
\_ Perhaps, but you have no idea how tough the
dating situation is for single guys in Silicon
Valley. It is much worse than anyplace in LA.
When did you date in the Bay Area? When you were
in college?
\_ Move north a bit. Dating in SF isn't hard.
\_ Sure. But it is not hard in The San Fernando
Valley either.
\_ Yes. Valley Girls don't have a reputation
for being snobby princesses. LOL. I've
found a lot of very pretty Latina
girls date beneath them, but sadly
it is because they aren't too bright.
There was one girl I knew who I swear to
God looked like Cindy Crawford. She
worked at a spa and all the women envied
her and the men lusted for her. She got
knocked up by some lowlife Mexican guy
who didn't even marry her. She could
have had any guy she wanted.
\_ Do you actually know anyone from the
San Fernando Valley?
\_ Yes. Encino. Sherman Oaks.
Studio City. Woodland Hills. You?
\_ Actually, I do a lot of travel to the Bay
Area. I find it easy to approach women there.
I guess you are referring to the terrible
ratio of men to women in Silicon Valley. That
definitely hurts. However, last time I was in
San Jose I met two different women at
Santana Row of all places and I wasn't even
trying to pick anyone up. However, one
thing that may have worked for me was that
I said I was from LA and that instantly
made me more 'exotic'. I also met a really
gorgeous out-of-my-league woman at a jazz
club in SF the trip before who I went out
with every night of my trip and who would've
told me to buzz off in LA. Trip before
that I met this flapper girl at a Halloween
party in Monterey. There are some women in
LA who don't have their heads up their asses.
However, in general, I think women almost
anywhere else are more approachable than those
in LA. Only NYC rivals LA in terms of the
number of stuck-up and unfriendly women, in my
experience. I found the Pacific Northwest
to have a lot of really pretty girls who
are friendly and want to talk to you even
if you aren't a gazillionaire male model.
\_ I said I was looking for jobs, not blowjobs.
\_ A blowjob might improive your confidence.
\_ A blowjob might improve your confidence.
Certainly jobs and blowjobs are
intimately connected. |
