OT OT Discussion

I just checked out Google for good tech jobs for people with Asperger's, which I have and here is what I copied/pasted from Google:

Some of the best jobs for people with Asperger's include careers in STEM (like programming, engineering, and science), IT and computer-related fields (such as software testing and web design), and jobs in the arts (like graphic design, photography, and music composition). Other strong options are those that align with specific interests, often in structured environments with less social demand, such as accounting, animal training, and roles in skilled trades or maintenance.

STEM and tech

Arts and creative
  • Graphic design: Can involve creating logos, designing websites, or other visual work.

  • Photography: Offers a way to focus on visual details and creative expression.

  • Music: Can include composition, tuning, or playing musical instruments.
Detail-oriented and structured
  • Accounting and finance: Provides a structured environment with a focus on data and rules.

  • Software testing: Emphasizes the keen eye for detail needed to find bugs in systems.

  • Drafting and equipment design: Involves a high degree of precision and focus.

  • Inventory control: A job that relies on organization and accuracy.

  • Journalism and copy editing: Requires accuracy in gathering and presenting facts.
Less social or independent

  • Animal training: Often a passion for individuals who prefer working with animals over people.

  • Skilled trades: Includes roles like mechanic, plumber, or electrician, which can be less client-facing.

  • Warehouse and stocking: Jobs that involve repetitive, organized tasks.

  • Data entry and transcription: Can be done independently and requires accuracy.

  • Freelancing and entrepreneurship: Allows for self-direction and the ability to work from home, which can be ideal for those with specific interests.
As you can see, a lot of this aligns with my personal experiences, aspects of my condition, and dreams and abilities and talent. Trouble I'm having is that I'm hard getting that starting position anywhere! I don't blame my autism; I blame those employers that make applicants take a VERY STRESSFUL personality test to get an entry level job, and if I manage to get an interview, they end the hiring process after just one interview followed up with another rejection email, because they're prejudice of "different" people.
 
I was watching the movie CUBE recently since I've been basically picking out horror stuff all month. Weird thing that struck me was that some of the music sounded (just a bit) like the original RE4 save room music. Does anyone else hear the same at like 30 seconds in... it's a very specific sound and only brief. Someone in the comments mentioned it too.


Edit: I cracked the case, they both sampled another source, I wonder if Capcom paid this guy a high price...

 
Wanted to follow up on a certain situation I brought up a while ago. A certain someone reached out on HER birthday and it messed with my head. :rolleyes: Sounds like things aren't going well with the new guy and something happened. She was very flirty, told me she's been thinking of me and wanted to reach out but is STILL choosing the new guy despite it all and isn't leaving him yet either. Told her I'm not gonna be her back up plan nor can I be friends with her. Not gonna let her have her cake and eat it too and I honestly wish I knew who the guy was at this point so I could tell him his girlfriend is going behind his back to emotionally cheat with her ex. Such a strong and stable relationship they got going on there...

Make your move! Tell her in no uncertain terms that you want her to leave this other guy and you want her back. Make it very clear that what she did NEVER happens again. Be strong, definite, let her know you want her and this other guy can go to hell. Be the alpha and watch your opposing alpha limp away to bachelorhood.

Seems like a bad idea given the circumstances. Cut the dead weight loose and move on, it's easy and your life isn't centred around their whims. If they can't show you some respect then you've got to respect yourself.

I basically told her this but in a less aggressive way. The conversation was cordial but when I asked if she was still with the guy and why she was reaching out to me, she said "yes and he can be friends with his ex, I can't be with mine?". I told her no I can't be friends if that's what shes after because I still have feelings for her. She said "No I'm just saying" as if she was trying to justify to herself why reaching out was ok.

They really do. :rolleyes: As long as she remains with this guy, I'm not entertaining anymore breadcrumbs. Just wish I didn't give her the emotional validation I already did.

Pretty much, that's why I put a boundary in place and told her I'm not being Plan B. If she truly does miss me, she needs to drop him and choose me but that seems like its not happening (if at all) anytime soon.

I'd respectfully disagree. A woman that wishy washy will likely do so again down the line. Save yourself the headache and move on, actually. Some things are worth fighting for, a woman who isn't able to devote herself to one man isn't.
 
Good to be back, again. Busy year, was a busy show season for me. Now it's holiday time and our slower season, excited to enjoy it.

Of course I check in to make sure everything is well, but wasn't able to participate had so much going on. The wait for Bio9 begins, formally at least for me. Definitely going to attend TGA with some other LA BIO fans to start the season right.
 
I recently had a job interview at my local Best Buy for a position in the warehouse Monday of last week, but still haven't heard one way of another. I really want that job. Even if it's seasonal, it'll finally get me some long needed work experience and I can use that experience to apply for another position at Best Buy after the season is over, then when I make enough money, I want to attend DeVry University and do any of the technology related fields such as: web developer, software developer, cyber security, mobile app developer and shoot for Geek Squad. As an Asperger's person, technology is one of my biggest strengths. In fact, I already have some web development personal experience as a hobby creating my www.tmntforever.com website, and later on, I'm going to rebirth my Resident Evil site. I hear software developers get paid very well, and it's one of those things that even AI won't replace anytime soon, and technology is present and the future.
 
Happy Thanksgiving Biohaze guys! And it has so far been a good Thanksgiving and it's only 12:55 PM.

While working on my Ninja Turtle project on both YouTube and my site tmntforever.com, I'm also getting the ball rolling with my future Resident Evil site by working on video game walkthroughs on my primary YouTube channel. When I get everything I want online, I'll be rebirthing my Resident Evil site once again after being gone for 11 years.
 
In about an hour, I'm going out to the bar to have all-you-can eat fish fry to celebrate Christmas when they open at 11 AM for lunch. I know that Wednesday is another day of the week besides Friday this bar has the fish fry, but next Wednesday is Christmas Eve and I can easily assume it'll be packed. I do this tradition every Friday before Christmas for years.

But first things first, I need to walk to the nearby library to trade wrestling DVDs for 2 more; then the bar; then the grocery store to pick up some wonder eggnog and 2 sugar cookie dough (one for eating raw) and chocolate chip cookie dough so when my best buddy comes over for New Years, we can bake cookies. Sugar cookies are my favorite; especially soft.
 
That walk trip I took yesterday turned into a bunch of errors. It was 0 degrees windchill and I was dressed in a WWE Sheamus T-shirt, a winter jacket, one layer of sweat pants and of course shoes and gloves, but the cold wind went right through me. I walked about a half hour to the library to get that wrestling DVD; then walked back to the bar and had my fish fry (16 perch total). Then I walked to the nearby grocery store to pick up some 2 quarts of eggnog, 2 tubes of sugar cookie dough, 2 bags of chocolate chip dough and a gallon of windshield fluids. Here's the error; I didn't bring my car, thinking I was going to drink beer at the bar (I don't drive if I have any alcohol), and I walked a half a miles carrying those heavy grocery bags in 15 degree weather with 0 degree windchill. I felt like hell and I had to use the bathroom real badly (I don't know if I can say that I made it or not, because it was the bowl and seat that got messy) and had to clean up the bathroom. I was so damn exhausted from that workout walking home with those heavy bags and jug of fluid that after I cleaned up the bathroom, I crashed on the couch in front of the TV at 12:30ish PM yesterday, and I just woke up at 2:45 this morning still feeling bad. If I had known I wasn't going to drink a beer at the bar, I would of brought my car and save myself the pain and cold I endured.
 
Merry Christmas to all of you at Biohaze!

Speaking of Merry Christmas, someone in Arkansas is going to wake up Christmas morning an instant billionaire because someone won the Powerball jackpot. Just imagine that; you go to bed Christmas Eve playing the game, and you wake up Christmas morning ready for a new kind of life. That's what I call the ultimate Merry Christmas in history. I didn't play this game, but I'm about to play $10 on the Illinois Lottery Fast Play game called Pyramid Of Gold and depending on what the outcome is, will determine how much more of my credit money I'll invest in Lotto for $9.65M for Thursday night's drawing, which if I were to win, I'll be having my version of a Merry Christmas and starting off the new year off just the way it's intended.

New Years will start off right anyway, because I'm brining my special best buddy over for a week and we'll go out places, make homemade sushi, have Papa Johns Pizza for the New Year along with some blueberry wine from Aldi and go out to restaurants and have a great time.

Again, Merry Christmas to all you guys and best of luck in the new year! Make it a good one!
 
Something just came to mind.

What is everyone's favorite Christmas and gifts you can remember?
Favorite version of A Christmas Carol?

For me, my favorite Christmas was back in 1997 when my now late father (I miss you Dad) got me my PS1 along with Resident Evil Director's Cut (non-Duel Shock soundtrack) and Tomb Raider II games to go with it. Just a month later, Resident Evil 2 came out and I got that with my K-Mart gift certificates.

Although, I didn't know until April of 2015, I asked for a new kitten for Christmas of 2014, I got him 4 months later and I asked the women who fostered him when he was born and she said, Christmas Day. So my cat, which just now turns 11 today, was born the Christmas I wanted a cat. Still to this day, he is my miracle Christmas cat.

I must say that my least favorite Christmas was back in the late 1990s early 2000s (minus 1997) when my aunt's kids where little spoiled brats. They got all the gifts, and I got nothing from family. When the kids were done opening gifts, they buried their faces in the carpet and started crying that they "didn't get enough." It wouldn't of mattered if you gave these twins a truck load, they still would of pouted and cried hysterically once they opened the last gift. That is when I started to HATE kids; they get all the love attention and gift and I get nothing but annoyance of hearing their screeching and crying. I was 14 when my aunt's twins were born.

And my favorite version of A Christmas Carol is the one in 1984 starring George C. Scott as Scrooge. For some reason, that one sticks with me the most. Although when I was a kid, my favorite version was Mickey's Christmas Carol.
