Just got a call. I think I'm going to get the job... as an instructor for a local community college in their big truck program. Biggest plus is that the campus is 60 seconds from my subdivision! Interview is tomorrow...

Not really. I have about 5x the experience that they're looking for. I spent the last 15years handing/transporting hazardous materials. The department head has been calling me everyday since I turned in my application/resume. If I get it I also get free schooling... which is a huge plus because I've been wanting to get into IT for awhile now. Unfortunately circumstances wouldn't allow me the time for education.

Woohoo, I finally was able to login to ebay. Glad shit it still there.
Lotta stuff ain't working, but at least my account is intact.

I feel for the sellers though, lotta fuckery there. One was even selling a CAR today...sale date ended without him...oopsie.

We're talking millions of dollars in lost or fucked-up sales over at least the US, Europe and even Asia.
SMH...

Facebook and eBay and Tumblr, Oh Myyyyyyyy!

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/09/03/ebay_facebook_tumblr_all_down/


This is the best part...at least Tumblr had a sense of humour about it.....go figure. After all, they have exabytes worth of p0rn to tide the IT staff over while they swap out the squirrels.

Really? All three titans of teh Interwebs had IT boo-boos on the same day?

Something smells funny, and this time it ain't @Fishee ;)

What I find interesting is all three sites say, more or less, is that services was interrupted during routine maintenance. Really?
These are IT professionals making bank for working in billion-dollar datacenters. I don't buy it.

More likely, they needed to swap in some nice new TLA spy gear...kinda like AT&T's "outages" a few years ago.

Well, I haven't checked in quite a bit, but there is that HUGE government data center being built in Utah. Pretty scary shit. One of the many reasons I have no social media subscriptions. When I was still actively playing in a band and the whole music scene I did, but that's necessity.

I was just playing, I got the joke... Don't worry about me taking things too seriously. We're in the alternate universe here... post whatever you want, however you want. I mean Kelli posted her flaming red ass a few pages back. And You are pretty tall. I'm a little bit taller and have never had that issue, just light headedness from time to time.

@MoFo the spirit molecule really is a beautiful experience, and talk about a literal alternate universe? No explanation needed for you. I've been to some crazy places. And it's always so warm and friendly... Gotta love it, in moderation, don't wanna get stuck there.

Agreed. Everything in moderation. I studied shamanism for years. I enjoy the traditional shamanic approach a little bit more than the contemporary.

I don't believe for one minute that they all happened to do routine maintenance. I think they got hacked, or they have their own dedicated area on Cisco and it went down.

@MoFo that is my exact philosophy as well, though I've never studied shamanism. It is a tool for me and my mind, and very beneficial. To each their own, however, I don't judge as long as people are responsible, but a lot of people are not.

confession: i was vaping moments before I fainted. I had woken up early and was on the sofa just reading and taking a few pulls as it were.

it was early, I hadn't eaten breakfast which may have factored into it.

i've vaped at all hours and never had that happen.

anyways, i didn't tell anyone before. the shame.....!

Probably a factor but likely a strange combination of things. Happened to me once from guzzling a cold soda on a really hot day. BAM! Laying in the bushes

Low blood sugar combined with standing up too fast perhaps?
