ultra business tycoon iii is a little bit like candy box in that it starts out as something that looks really simple and just unfolds and unfolds
<gq>
it's pretty fun.
<glowcoil>

<ELLIOTTCABLE>
#unemployedandhatingit
<gq>
the bay area sucks
<gq>
okay maybe not
<gq>
i'm worried if you lived there you'd merge with my ex
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
THE BAY AREA ALSO GIVES YOU MONEY
<gq>
and takes your money
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
THE OTHE AREAS APPARENTLY DON'T
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
merge
<gq>
or it would, if you were not ELLIOTTCABLE who has neverending money
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
-34 merge
<alexgordon>
ELLIOTTCABLE: the bay area takes money too
<purr>
ELLIOTTCABLE: ... if you had any sense, you wouldn't have asked.
<gq>

<ELLIOTTCABLE>
generic hiring spam.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
not contacted by a specific team.
<whitequark>
ah
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I've had google's HR contact me five times, and a specific team once.
<gq>
somewhere an apple intern is crying
<ELLIOTTCABLE>

<gq>
I WORKED VERY HARD ON THAT FORM EMAIL
<whitequark>
ELLIOTTCABLE: nah don't bother
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
