When it comes to jQuery, I don't really have any coding styles, so usually just stick to the default suggested way of coding things.

So it's interesting to hear from someone who is really into JavaScript to learn more about the coding styles out there. I see JavaScript as more of a side language I have to delve into every now and then to achieve something more than anything else...

I still remember when people advised that javascript be turned off for security reasons...now it essentially powers the idea of Web 2.0 in that it's a component of AJAX that allows pages to be refreshed without reloading the page. I think it's almost as important as the server-side programming language.

Oh winter... I am sure Ainur will be fine, I just said what on my mind at the moment

Now I am thinking about smearing whip cream on that guy from big bang.

That's...quite a thought.

Which one? 

So I just noticed that the latest Sims DLC is called "Get to Work", and it's apparently about jobs and stuff...we're seriously paying many so our virtual characters can do more work that we dread doing in real life? lol.

In any case...what is on my mind right now is concern. I just did the Citizenship check, and in spite of our recruitment efforts we only had a net gain of four Citizens. This tells me that our problem at the moment isn't recruitment, but integration. For some reason we're losing people after they apply for Citizenship. We definitely need to find out why and make improvements in that area, cause it sucks to put in all that time in manual recruitment for such a paltry gain.

Actually, "Get to Work" is only about 3 jobs in particular:  Detective, Scientist, and Retail.  Granted the previous two open up certain possibilities, there's still many jobs that it won't be touching upon.

Also aliens.  Dunno why, but they decided to use that expansion to bring back the aliens that were in Sims 2.  Probably because of the scientist occupation and being able to travel to a planet called Sixam.

Oh, who doesn't dream of a retail job?

Retail jobs are the best. Who wouldn't dream of getting arbitrarily chewed out by rude, entitled pricks called "customers" for 40 hours each week, and having to take it all with a smile?

Actually, I worked retail once. I got fired because I called the cops on a very drunk woman taking her car for a drive after buying a lot of alcohol.

Fuck retail.

Yeah... But data input! Just endless series of numbers to be organized and put into a system. That's what life is about. Clean organized numbers.

Seroim! Why'd you CTE your nation in the region?

I guess retail is different for everyone.  I work retail (Goodwill) and I actually don't mind  it.  In fact, most days I actually enjoy it for the most part.  The customers I've come across have always either been courteous and nice, or they walk off before they get pissed off.  I've never had a customer chew me out before, though I've seen some of the others including the managers get chewed out by them.

I didn't leave voluntarily, I just haven't been active and forgot to put in vacation mode.

FISH!

Sandwiches.  Fish sandwiches.

I want a cat who is cunning, a cunning cat.

*grins*

Former citizen? Are we sure about that one?

Hehe...welcome back, Weissreich! I'm so glad you're back with us...

You still need to re-apply for Citizenship though. Sorry, just standard procedure.
