The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Anyone here work in HR? Trying to determine what a background check on myself might yield and how you'd view it. 7 year history is standard with these checks, correct? How terrible is it if I have stable history the last few years but questionable before then between unreported cash positions and many legit positions in a short span of time?

The fact that you're much more stable jow will look good. If it coincides with finishing your college education, it will look better.

The reality is that most employers will probably have questions about the stuff before that. If you can explain it in a way that makes you look less flighty and demonstrate the amount of stability and experience that your education and recent long-term employment have given you, it probably won't hold you back too much.

I'm a government contractor who evaluates the suitability of employees with disabilities and other challenges trained at my workplace to find jobs in the work force outside of here, based on their work history and the progress that they make while working under me. That's the approach that I would take when evaluating a prospective employee here or other places that I've worked.

You also want to make sure you can pass a drug test. We encounter a lot of people that get through multiple interviews to initially come work here on this training program, only to fail that.
 
I saw Satan last week in NY and they kicked ass. The vocalist was complaining about his throat and was eating cough drops, but he sounded pretty good to me. Great set as well, if not a little short (I blame the venue though).

Finishing my education currently lol. Not quite yet. My sister had passed away around that time and in retrospect it might have affected me on some level, plus dealing with my mom losing her mind over it. Would that be a suitable explanation or not very professional to bring up?
 
Personally, I think that it's relevant information and I would want to hear about details like that. I've always interviewed people in a more candid fashion at the places that I've worked. Interviews are bad for both parties when nobody makes an effort to get to know the other people involved.

I just got finished composing some dark ambient. Well, I forgot to hit the record button and I forgot all of the stuff I did. Fuck iPhones. Before that, I was lifting weights, and killing my back and shoulders

Currently, I'm listening to a kickass Viking metal band called Wolfchant. Those who haven't heard of them should definitely listen to them.
 
Speaking of Chicago, my aunt lives in a cute little town called Romeo and the ladies in the family all took a haunted trolley tour recently. Discovered H.H. Holmes actually started his crimes living there, stealing corpses from University of Michigan, before building his infamous Chicago murder castle.

Trolley tours are sweet. 10/10 would do again, even if I don't succumb to superstition. Getting drunk and watching everyone else freak out was plenty fun.
 
Cooking and watching the third episode of the latest season of Black Mirror. The scene at the beginning where his sister has borrowed his laptop to watch films and then he's trying to remove the shit she's infested it with is infuriating.


Was also wondering earlier if many Americans really know much about Charlie Brooker. Black Mirror seems pretty popular, including with people that would normally rage about and boycott a loony liberal leftie like him.
