He’s really old but I see him fairly regularly to take care of his cat but mostly just to hang out with him. He doesn’t really understand the internet and his interpretation is that there’s like 5 people on here who are all my friends. He has agreed to do an AMA but in his style where it might take a while to actually get some answers from him for each individual question.
The best way to do this is I think is to ask the questions you want him to answer the most and then I’ll probably update this post or make a new with with the first batch of answers and so on. He will give long answers because it’ll be like an interview of sorts but I can shorten them so they’re more friendly to digest.
He does know English but like teaching him to use a phone or my laptop would be difficult so I think it’s best I do it this way.
Don’t be shy to ask whatever you want. I will try my best to get him to answer them but if there’s a few hundred questions that might be too hard lol.
Anyways take care and looking forward to it
UPDATE
Hey gang really sorry to do this. I managed to ask him about 6 questions and he gave really detailed answers but one of the questions I gave him threw him off and kinda put him in a bad mood and he was saying “who would ask such stupidity?” So I moved onto a question I thought would take his mind off the other one but I think his bad mood persisted throughout and he got somewhat irate.
I don’t really know what he was expecting but he seems to think the questions weren’t good enough. I showed him the site and he got kinda upset once he realized that it wasn’t just some random chat board but rather a website with hundreds of concurrent users. He literally said “stop using that moronic website” lol. I’ll see if he comes around but he’s pretty pissed. He did give detailed answers to about 5/6 questions so I can transcribe these but sorry that we couldn’t finish this.
He is old and this is kinda how he gets sometimes but this is the first time he’s gotten this way in a while. He’ll be okay though I’ll just buy him ice cream or some shit lol.
What was it like changing jobs, or choosing jobs out of school?
I know there’s a lot of writing I can read about the on-paper process but how did it actually feel in day-to-day life?
Was there a sense you could quit if your workplace was unfavorable? Or transfer? Was there a sense you could move up in your job (or was there even a huge motivation to want to move up?)
Curious because I’m in a younger part of my career and this kind of thing has been on my mind lately lol.
Thank you for making the time to answer us, comrade!
