I don't remember if it was Taleo, but I do remember this one application that had me fill out a one hundred question survey then auto-reject me for the job based on my answers immediately after finishing.

GODDAMNIT HR

* Sirus' eye twitches as tears of blood begin to flow

...I am familiar with this sort of thing, yes.

As am I. I believe it wasn't Taleo, actually(at least in my case). I think it was whatever SnagAJob.com uses, since SnagAJob pre-filters applications before sending them to the employer to be ignored, which is also bullshit.

Because it's a attribute of your "Social character" or some bullshit.

Probably screens out all the "independent thinkers" out there so they can find the sheeple who go with whatever is popular and easy. They make better cogs in the machine. It's about that aspect of your "social character" - are you someone who goes with the flow and never asks questions. They really don't care what's on your Facebook as long as it's not obscene or subversive, just as long as you go "Baaa!" like all the other sheep.

My stepdad just threatened to kill one of the dogs. Apparently, another dog took a crap, and this one started to eat it. Gross as that is, I don't think it warrants first threatening to shoot the dog, and then changing it into shoving a hose in its face to wash its mouth out and making sure it drowns in the process.

Has your step father ever been around dogs before?
I hate to think how he would react to a small child left in a backyard...

Akura's relatives seem generally unhinged or drunk most of the time, from what I've heard of them from here.

Woke up with an absurd amount of pain this morning, and have had waves of pain all day. Know what, though? I'm going to the gym anyway. Fuck you, body. I'm winning this fight.

A child less than 18 months will happily eat its own shit, apparently, and around that time the brain is supposed to undergo changes that stop this from happening.

The more you know!

...and suddenly another necessity of being a self-sufficient adult seems more intimidating.

I guess I could make a living on selling cardboard "will work for food" signs, but there's probably a meticulous and required application process for that too.

Along with multiple years of experience and a bachelor's degree in the subject.

Self-sufficiency? I'm pretty sure that's illegal now.

Dammit internet, stop disconnecting so randomly, so often.

...And while trying to post this, it disconnected.

You guys are making it hard for me not to violate multiple peace treaties.

Argh, I hate chrome. I hate it so bloody fucking much. In fact, I hate using all google products. The UX is so. fucking. bad. It literally, quite literally, turns my stomache. Using Chrome for any length of time makes me physically sick. Using gmail or (god forbid) google calendar is nothing but frustration now. I can't even fucking highlight half the text to copy paste it anymore, who knows why. And fucking Firefox has become so slow and unresponsive that it isn't even an option any more, because I have things to do, today! Waiting over two minutes to close a tab is not acceptable - I am NOT on a bad computer, in fact it's pretty damn good, it's just bloody crazy.

Argh. Why must every month bring the experience of using the internet ever lower. It's fucking sad but at this point I'm honestly considering switching to Internet Explorer as the best web browsing option.

Have you tried Opera?

Ashley from Mass Effect >_>  I think I could see myself becoming a Renegade based solely on my desire to punch her in the face and flirt with Garrus.  God, what an asshole.
