I'd never spraypaint a console of any sort. Makes you look ridiculously cheap. Just embarrassing imo.

Do you guys believe in ghosts?

I swear to God this just happened.

So during lunch, I go to the bathroom. It's just me in there. Suddenly, I hear something fall and a strange shadow go across the floor near my stall. This happens until I get out of the stall and look around and I see this strange figure right there.

Damn cat scared the crap out of me.

A restaurant that I worked at in HS and when I went home college one summer was a renovated train station from the turn of the century. The upstairs was said to be haunted by a couple of small children. It was spooky when we had to go up there at night to restock supplies. Nothing ever happened to me, but other people had their stories.

What was really creepy was the cellar! The walls were stone with moss, and they dripped constantly. It was always cold down there! There was only two working florescent lights the rest flickered, which reminded me of the movie 'House on Haunted Hill'. I expected this guy...

To come cruising around the corner, and do that weird, distorted shaking thing.

/shudders

'Twas a creepy place at night.

on your first point, not saying there isn't, however too often people are overlooked because they lack the ability to put on a fake smile, but yet they are more competent than their entire staff. (some friends of mine).

on your second point: lol yeah there is...

No, people need to realize that the world isn't a nice place, and get over it when the person who actually knows what they're doing doesn't emotionally suck their *** to garner their favor.

You can't please everybody, and it's insane to try.
Please enlighten me as to the point of being an *** to someone who has done nothing to you.

Please, I would love to hear this.

There is a big difference between doing your job for said person, regardless of what it is, while being kind, and totally sucking up to them. I in no way shape or form suck up to people I deal with, yet I am still quite kind to them. It's called tone of voice, body language, and in what manner you answer their questions.

No, you can't please everybody, but that's no reason to not please anybody.

How about the fact that some people are just ***?

and by default, if you're good at what you do, you'll eventually please somebody.

Also I think people are taking what I mean to the extremes...

if you do it right it doesn't, you paint it, then coat it properly.

(good thing is it would be less of a fingerprint magnet that way...)

even if somebody did I wouldn't call them cheap, I find it better than using a skin, and if you buy skins properly, they'd be about the same price as a few cans of paint.

na.

I just find it ridiculous that while I have friends who aren't bad people, who are very competent can't land jobs because they have some personality defects that make them antisocial can't get jobs over people who have no skill or talent in the field.

Or that my one friend will land jobs when the other won't, when the former is barely competent, and the latter is very competent.

it's *** up.

The main problem with spraying a 3DS without any other color showing is they various tiny lights on it. Even applying a widdle piece of tape would still cause spray to get inside it, possibly damaging it.

For a regular DS, go for it, but a 3DS...just buy the purple one. It's worth the money now, and get an Acekard for infinite DS games, NA/EU/JP/Allthethings.

Charisma, sympathy, empathy, and sociability takes you further. Sorry, but it's the truth. Just accept it. You get what you give to the world.

you would take it apart and spray the plastic only...

<3 my 2i, they support 3ds games yet? or will they need a new model (probably).

There's a lot more to the job than your talent in the field.

I'm not the best programmer. I'm fairly mediocre.

My ability to communicate between multiple levels of managements, insane lateral thinking skill, and my earnest desire to work in the best interest of the group makes me a lot more useful than my more talented roommate.

The industry actually likes but but takes what it can get... They do frown upon people calling the customer an idiot and yelling at them though... even if you are right... Competency in customer service is more than just being able to gather the info and spew it out... you have to be able to convey the message in a way that the customer will be able to understand it too... If you offend people or leave them confused even if you have the correct answer then you've failed at any form of customer service...
meh, I disagree when it comes to tech support. Like day 1 of my class, the teacher said "you would want your doctor to be nice wouldn't you?" I respond "no I want them to keep me healthy, I don't give two shits if they put on a fake smile or not."
You can disagree all you want doesn't change much...

I think it's funny that you say you disagree when it comes to tech support then use an example related to medicine lol...

That sounds like a bunch of effort, but whatever floats ya boat, I live across the country so I wouldn't even see.

They don't support 3DS games yet, and I hope it doesn't since Japan knows about our Acekard craze and won't give us ***anymore. Now if we don't get Project X Zone, then *** it, bust out the 3DS Games. That game is too awesome for us not to get.

hahahahaha!

I have a hillbilly nieghbor with the IQ of a corndog. he wants a friend, bad. I do not. I make sure that every social interaction we incurr, I either insult him, ignore him, or mock his comments/ideas. he doesn't get it. he still wants to talk to me. I'm doing my absolute best to try to get his pea-brain to associate my face with an unpleasent experiance. so far, after 1 year, I have had no success, & still have to listen to his HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE stories.

being an *** has gotten me no where.

just my personal take.

not really, probably could do it in an hour, although longer since you have to let it dry...

You wouldn't be able to tell anyway, unless it was a really shotty job.

I know a guy who was painting 360 controllers, thought about having him do mine, mostly since I am busy and he's a friend.

If you're antisocial, you aren't going to have the skills needed to motivate your employees/bosses/managers/peers/etc into doing their best. If I were assembling a team, sure I may have one or two antisocial code wizards to act as gurus, but I'm going to hire a bunch of fresh out of college kids that WANT to work extra, that enjoy the problems, and that jive well together.

Because that's how you make work worth working at in our field.

ok, that's kind of funny.

I had my first day of my one class yesterday, was making a comment about how hollywood isn't failing due to piracy, it's failing because of bad movies, like battleship and napoleon dynamite, the guy goes "that movie was funny" I'm like, no it wasn't...

he goes "you're not funny"

I'm like no, it's not funny, to you it may be because you're an inbred redneck. but I didn't go there...

If you know how to communicate you won't reach the point of no return with others.

My sister called me the "Most social anti-social person ever."

I'm assuming she said that because I hate starting conversations with people that aren't close to me, but if someone does, I'm very engaging.

he's not entirely antisocial, also: it's not the job of 1 employee to motivate others, it's the job of the management to motivate employees.

again, extremes though...

Did you tell him you don't want to talk to him anymore?

I was being generous with the comparison to the corndog. try telling a corndog you don't want to talk to it.
