  • fratanomics 10 years ago on Saying Goodbye To Drugs

    Coke and MDMA only stay in your urine for a few days, so if you were extremely bold and daring you might be able to pull it off. That said, you’d be dumb to lose your jobs over a few hours of fun. That’s the downside of working with any type of machinery. OHSA gets a hard-on for drug testing in those environments.

    If you have a job in a typical post-grad workplace, I’d doubt you get tested passed an initial tox screen unless you’re showing up to work blazed out of your mind and the company is looking to fire you anyway. Maybe finance or something is a bit more stringent but it’s not been my experience.

  • fratanomics 10 years ago on The Outfits You Tried To Pull Off At Your First Job

    Wrinkle release Febreze: not just Xmas gifts for lazy college kids anymore.

    Also if you have a stain on a button down or otherwise work acceptable shirt, just stick a complementary sweater or something over it. You’d rather be the overdressed/ensemble guy than the dirty guy.

  • fratanomics 10 years ago on Miley Cyrus' Job Application

    This was painful to read and I will never get that five minutes back. Think it has more to do with the subject matter than the writing though. The snapchat columns were hilarious.

  • fratanomics 10 years ago on Sometimes, It’s Tough Being Manly

    I suppose it would be too obvious to just tell you to man up and own the things you enjoy. Constantly obsessing about what others think about you reeks of insecurity. Not that you shouldn’t take some of it into account, but one should spend more time doing what they enjoy than worrying about what other people will think about it.

    Do it. Own it. Confidence is manly.

  • fratanomics 10 years ago on How To Respond To LinkedIn "Job Offers"

    Eh I’ve gotten some pretty good interviews and job offers from Linkedin. Then again, I’ve also gotten good interviews and job offers from other job websites alongside friends and networking.

    If you’re looking for a new job, it doesn’t exactly waste much time to spend 15 minutes on the phone talking to the person. Besides, chances are you’re going to do it during working hours anyway. Win-win as you investigate a new job while burning time doing nothing at your current job, well unless you’re addicted to candy crush.

  • fratanomics 10 years ago on The Battle Of The Office Thermostat

    At least you had a thermometer. I worked in an office where the option was “close the duct” or “leave the duct open,” and leaving the duct open meant AC/air circulation. In an office of 15-20, only one person was ever “cold” in the office and refused to wear a sweater or anything, despite everyone else roasting. Well I got sick of it and am tall, and she couldn’t reach the vent, even if she stood on a chair. Chalk up a win for everyone else.

    Well at least until we moved offices and any kind of heat or air at the new office makes it sound like you’re standing in a spaceship.

  • fratanomics 10 years ago on The Internet Generation Sucks At The Internet

    This is less an “internet generation” thing and more of a “most people are gullible dumbasses” thing. “Nigerian scams” have been popular since the Internet as we know it existed. The whole concept has been traced back to the early 1800s, and people have been swindling each other and telling fake stories as long as humans have communicated with each other.
