The what ever thread...

i saw a truly unfortunate advertising slogan on a banner ad for the Obama 2012 campaign:

JOIN MICHELLE AND TELL BARACK I'M IN

SO MANY WAYS TO GO FROM THERE, AND ALL OF THEM LEADING STRAIGHT TO HELL.

If I have to google the terms used to describe the focus of an internship I probably shouldn't be applying for said internship.

Then again, if no one else has any idea what the fuck they're talking about, other people are less likely to apply, and I will have greater odds of receiving the internship if they pick applicants at random. Also, if I somehow make it past the round where they just look at resumes, that could be a really fun interview, in that I would be completely unable to give a serious answer to any question the interviewer might ask.

Hmm.

What are the words? Doing research about the company and other stuff before an interview is always a good idea.

Oh and the dump I just took smells really good. Like sweet. It's disturbing.

What are the words?

Specific projects the internship will focus on will be:
-SEM Review
-AFM Measurement
-PSL Deposition

It kinda looks like they make tools and measurement devices for inspecting stuff like semiconductor devices.

Oh hey I found ILF: The Manga

I FUCKING HATE that they ended that comic without a comfortable end (felt abrupt and open ended to me). Beck is one of the only manga that I still love.

[dubkitty]

yeah, that terminology is vaguely familiar from my last job, where i worked for a semiconductor manufacturer.

Yeah, not to get depressionjuice all over the place, ut i just feel so fucking numb lately, like i'm feeling the world through a thick blanket that i can't seem to shrug off. It's not so much sadness as it is...emptiness. I just wish i could channel it into somehting productive. :<

It's 20 mins before the first meeting of a lab for a class. I'm sitting in the room totally alone with only one of the lights on. It's a little strange. I'm 99% certain its the right room. And the prof across the hall keeps saying the phrase "used drugs" in the lecture but I can't make out anything else through his generally European accent. Ok someone else walked in.

Also, I responded to a CL ad for a doom metal band today.

The image I have in my head of this scene is surreal as fuck.

Soooo, because my college is annoying as fuck, they will not send me an electronic copy of my transcript because technically I'm not a student while I'm on a one-term sabbatical. I need an electronic copy of my transcript to apply for internships. So I had to pay for a physical copy to be mailed to me so I could scan it and make a PDF myself. Except now that PDF is like 5 megabytes and needs to be under 200 kb to be uploadable to any website. Anyone have free software that will shrink PDFs or JPEGs to under 200 kb while keeping text actually legible? 'Cause, uh, there's a deadline in 2 hours...

Edit: Nevermind, ended up using the lowest DPI setting on my scanner, saving the JPEG at half quality, and converting to PDF at 10% quality, which gave me something just under 200kb and baaaarely legible. Will be calling the registrar to harass them some more tomorrow.
