Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Anti-Matter Oh, man, you REALLY gotta stop doing that. I'm gonna call you Captain Derail from now on.
Or maybe Super Out Of Context Man, I haven't quite decided yet...

@ThanosReXXX
I found something interesting and similar with main discussion here.
Just want to share to everyone whether you like or not.
Maybe you have never discover something unusual or never knew before if i didn't share my ideas.
Silly ? Maybe, but doesn't matter silly or not, there is an interesting facts that i want to share about.

@Anti-Matter No, my friend. The main discussion, or rather: topic, is Dragon Quest, the discussion is NOT about echoes. And there are no interesting facts to be found in a Japanese music sound clip. Well, maybe if you speak the language, but I'm betting the lyrics aren't that intellectual either.

@anti-matter: There's nothing wrong with sharing songs every now and then in this thread, don't worry.

@StableInvadeel Of course there's nothing wrong with sharing songs or music. But it definitely wasn't a case of "speaking of", so it kinda was the steering off topic while trying to enter the conversation as if it was on topic that stood out, and it happens quite regularly, so that's why I reacted to it in the way that I did. No offense meant, though. It's just something that catches the eye, because it happens with some regularity.

@ThanosReXXX
Sometimes, i just want to be playful with interesting words or names i heard from the conversations above.
I found someting interesting about Echoes (MaiMai SEGA song) that at the same time someone talked about Dragon Quest XI Echoes, even they were not related at all.
Just want to share some interesting random things.

Btw, Echoes video above was actually a mashup by someone from Echoes MaiMai SEGA and Dance All Night Long by Sota Fujimori from Dance Dance Revolution A Konami.

It wasn’t really a derail, it was more of a segue. Speaking of derailing, how about the trains?

@ThanosReXXX Then again, talking about trains, you're more than free to ignore any posts that don't follow your current train of thought.

Taking time to lecture anti-matter every time he shares a song is in a way more of a derailment than the act of him posting a random song.

As long as it's in this particular thread, it's fine to go on tangents like that anyway.

SOMEONE SAID TRAINS!!!!!

@ThanosReXXX Same. I love the rare fast food treat, but I definitely have my favorites. It's probably a good thing that there aren't any pizza places within reasonable walking distance of my house or place of work. XD

I played Pokemon Go for about an hour in the nearby downtown area yesterday. Four trains went through in that time, three of which were pretty close together. I knew that (primarily freight) line was busy, but not THAT busy! XD

One of those could have been the other track that runs through town though. Wasn't in a good area to check then.

Have an interview tomorrow I'm kind of nervous for. It's for a different company and they're flying me out to Maryland just for this 2 hour interview. Needless to say im going to have a super long day, plus wear a suit and tie for like 18 Hours And sitting on a plane isn't the most comfortable. I haven't been on an interview for a good 8 years , so my nerves are pretty shot at this point. Id have a large territory to cover and may do over nights a few days a month which im not high on. It could be upwards of 8-10 days per month in some cases id imagine. Wish me luck, please.

Good luck! Enjoy the trip! And don't eat anything weird before the interview!

Seriously be as plain and boring with food as you can.

@StableInvadeel thanks my friend. I know I already thought of that lol. I did however just have a torta which im kind of regretting haah

Darn, I was too late! Well just one is ok, ha.

Probably.

@NintendoByNature Wishing you the best of luck on your interview.

@NintendoByNature - You got this dude. It’s a great opportunity, if nothing more than to brush up on your interview skills, and you’re in the driver’s seat. You’re interviewing them. You have options. Slam an espresso about 20 minutes before you go in and blow their hair back. You’ll do great.

@Sunsy thanks, appreciate it! @bimmy-lee thanks dude! Btw my Territory would be Illinois, Michigan, and Indiana. So with that said, Ill be trekking through your area more often than not. A lunch or beer might have to be in the cards.

@NintendoByNature Wishing you best of luck; that interview will be over before you know it. Not sure whether this works on you but I found that it helps me when I tell myself that I only have to do whatever it is once, it's a nice psychological trick to make things seem a little bit more trivial. Either way you'll make it through tomorrow.

@NintendoByNature Just imagine ROB64 telling you Good Luck. That’s my contribution.

@NintendoByNature Good luck! I can definitely sympathize - both with interview jitters (I'm not a particularly strong interviewer) and the long plane time. Flights themselves aren't bad in my opinion, but the hassle up to that point is highly stressful. Plus I don't think anyone enjoys traveling in clothes they aren't comfortable in.

You've got this! Just avoid the spicy, gassy, pungent foods, being TOO honest in your interview (one of my common pitfalls), and be wary when the salary questions come up.

At the very least, the flight is a great excuse for some Switch time.

Edit: I also hope you're flying out of Midway. I've never been to O'Hare, but I've heard it's nuts.
