Ahhh Oyster Bay. Brilliant choice.
I just tried their merlot the other day actually. I thought it packed quite a punch as compared to other wines, but it had a sultry taste to it. I havenāt tried the pinot gris though.

I am gonna have another job interview this Friday. It will be the 2nd job I apply since I graduated 8 months ago. The other one took place in August. It went smooth and well, but maybe thereās just someone more suitable than me got hired. This time, I am going to apply for a job of automation system engineer.
I was deciding whether I should post this in the serious issue thread. But then since itās good news, so it should belong here nicely. Most of this year, I spent time pretty much only on video games, anime, food, and sleep. Thankfully, I finally watched a right anime that taught me people donāt stay the same. Nothing is permanent. There will always be an end, people leaving and gathering, etc. Iād say itās time for me to move on.
Itās 3 oāclock in the morning here, I canāt sleep and feel so excited to announce this. That I have a feeling this will be a new chapter of my 26-year-old life. With new characters, new encounters, and new challenges, it will be just like a proper expansion pack of a game. And I canāt help but gonna act like a game dev that you always see on game announcement trailers:
āI canāt wait to share more details with youā¦ soonā¢.ā

Thatās so cool! I have a cousin in England doing the same thing for a bank. He tells tons of positive stuff about it. Wish you luck! Youāll do great.

Thank you! Itās been so long since I actually coded. Hereās an interesting thing. I actually applied for a job of software development engineer of the same company last week. Then, they called me on my phone, understood that I may not be suitable for the position, so they asked me to switch to apply for this one instead.
I have confidence that I can reacquaint coding, but then I heard automation is all about coordinate machines to work together, instead of developing new programs. So hopefully I can do it well. Thanks again for the info!

Actually the person Iām talking about knew nothing about coding when he applied. He was educating automotive engineering. He then took some C# courses to make things easier. Iām not sure about things in the company youāre going for, but Iām pretty sure your understanding (basics of 5 languages as you mentioned before) will make things easier than usual.

Dunno where to put this, but I wrote a poem. I call itā¦
The Lonely Poem
presented by C. TheChest
By day one, I am encompassed with companionship
I feel drenched with exuberant joy by my peers
All sense of converse, it is at my grip
I donāt feel lonely, there are no fears
By day seven, I am thrown into lockdown
All of my peers are gone, they have followed suit
Although Iāve developed theories, Iām beginning to look like a clown
Iām starting to feel lonely, my jovial emotion is starting to refute
By day fourteen, Iām beginning to feel rage
All of my past emotion, they remain a former self
Furthermore, my chronicle can be compared to being stuck in a cage
Iām engulfed with being lonely, I can almost see the devil himself
By day thirty, my faith towards myself, it is gone
Iāve developed a new theory, it has become clear
Nobody tends to rules anymore, everybody remains a pawn
I am lonely, get me out of here

20 students in class, 8 pictures at least, them being at least 20MBs. That makes the overall size more than 3GBs. And weāre talking about plain pictures, nothing special.

It all just keeps getting worse and I feel like shit, the only option for the good college messed up my credentials or a part of the detail and they pretty much refuse to do anything about it. My mum and dad have taken multiple visits to their support department which is like an hour long trip and each time theyāre told to sit and wait for 10 minutes which ultimately extends to a couple hours with not much progress and being told that you should return a few days later. Yesterday while the usual waiting the controller or the head of the department visited the place for something and my dad ran to him and explained him the entire thing to which he directed another important worker to help us, who promised to help us and also gave us his number, the only person in the department so far to do so. But today is the last day of the counseling process and my dad called him today morning to which he said heāll update us soon but itās afternoon and thereās still nothing. The bad thing is my dad asked mom to visit the department and sit so that she would be there and thereāll be a bit of pressure on the staff to do something because itās like the last day of counseling(mum and dad both go but today mom took a holiday to stay at home with me and my sister and dad is a bit busy at the office). My mom said going there wonāt do much and theyāll probably make us wait again, all of which led to a shouting fight of sorts between them which I really hate and makes me very nervous, my sister asked her whatās going on and then made this sly remark, that you want to give up? which obviously pissed off my mum majorly. My sis does this a lot nowadays, indirectly saying shit to you in a sarcastic way as if sheās reading dialogue while acting in some movie and she also starts laughing if you get annoyed. Whatās worse is that itās almost the same situation as the last college, I again got close to the cut off mark and even if they do correct my details Iāll be in the waiting list, the only hope is this is a good college and not the best like the last one so thereās a chance someone might not take admission. I donāt know what to write or do at this point

Sorry to hear that man. A dumb question probably but arenāt there some sort of educational consultants you can get help from where you live?

I also was on a waiting list for a class at the university seven years ago. It was my only choice, so I kindly put pressure on the department director (emails + one visit by taking the train). Eventually, in the first week of September, one person withdrew, it was a girl I knew. I received a call from the department director afterwards : I got the seat, I was part of the class. My best year of study. Good luck in resolving this situation, buddy.
