| instead of an interview, I think companies should do a trial period with you. During the trial period they will see how quickly you can learn and how efficient and reliable you are.

| You know I had 6 years when I started looking for another job and I was told repeatedly it's a huge red flag since it shows I'm "lazy and unmotivated". I'm still thinking "WTF" to this day as to why: I thought loyalty was a good thing! Seems like no matter what you are f***ed unless you are a socio... |

| Windows Vista came out in 2007. I suspect your PC is not as old as you think it is. Either that or you upgraded to Vista from XP, and I don't know why anyone would do that. Windows 7 maybe, but upgrade to Vista? http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z477/KaaBoom1/tsktsk_zps86208b1a.gif That's right I... |

| It's your birthday, celebrate it the way you want to. Don't let others or fear change this. We aspies tend to be loyal and unselfish which are good traits. But we also need "me" time more then most and sometimes these needs conflict. With all the nonsense we have to put up with we have EARNED and DE... |
