@Graeme lots of tech companies specifically target and recruit people who live with autism, as there are characteristics that excel in the tech industry.

This article is really positive, give it a read if you feel inclined

@DougNg I mentioned it in passing to my recruiter after the first round, but the process doesn't seem to have changed. So who knows…

Thanks for the suggestion.

@Stuart.T thanks for the link. It looks like SAP and Microsoft are the leaders here.

A handful of years ago, a good friend of ours asked if I might be able to help out with some transporting of luggage. Excitedly happy to help, I saw this as an opportunity to help out someone who looked out for me time and time again, I jumped at the chance and did the solid. As a small thanks, [mention]Giles [/mention] hooked me up with a small drawstring bag and another, small orange bag (that I currently have for boxed ammo at home). But it was the drawstring bag that has been used, loved, turned to for quick trips and countless other applications that I have deemed it worthy for in the past few years. I say all that to say Thank you. For your kindness, your understanding, your friendship and how incredible and easy it is to feel connected with IH and beyond. [mention]Madame Buttonfly [/mention] and [mention]Giles [/mention] I hope you two have been safe and sound and in good spirits. Know that I think of y’all often. Hope to be more present around these parts again. And finally, here is the bag, countless uses, countless washes.

It's probably not a lot of help at this stage. I interview on Monday and Tuesday, so I wouldn't get a reply before then.

Thanks.

@Graeme seriously best of luck mate.

Mindset - less a case of you'd be fortunate to get the job, more a case of they'd be fortunate to employ you!

Hi DEP, that's a good looking bag. Hope you are keeping very well..  Love G&P

WTF…. I've been watching the interactive and live updated ups tracking website all day for my ihj-84.

Seeing the truck drive around all day within 1-2 miles of my house with a scheduled delivery by 9pm, only to see the mfer head back to headquarters at 8:45pm..... first world problems and I know those guys/gals are saints right now bringing packages to many needy people, but WTF. It's 8:55 and they are back at ups, when they could have stopped at my house on the way and been back by 8:58...

M@#$er F&!ker that feels like a kick in the nuts

Don't buy a Samsung washing machine. 5 years old, main circuit board fried.

::)

Thanks for all of the advice. Unfortunately I didn't get the job in the end.

No real feedback was given, but I didn't think that the design interview went well, and I'm terrible at behavioural questions.

Ah well, there are other companies…

[Giles]

Onwards and upwards @Graeme Good luck.

[Graeme]

Thanks @Giles - I'll have to figure out what to do instead.

This isn’t really a rant, I guess it’s more of a question…. but the last 3-4 IH orders I’ve received arrived without a single sticker [emoji24][emoji24]
I know it’s kind of dumb to complain about, but I LOVE those dang stickers!

Is this the new norm? Or is someone really against me plastering everything I own with IH stickers?

Hmmmmmm.  Not sure what has happened there….. @AdamC  @Alex ?

[Alex]

We are all out of stickers, we have some on order but they are just taking longer to arrive than normal. We should be back up by Monday.

[Brock]

Thanks guys.

On the other hand, not a rant: but can I nonetheless thank you lot for always getting back to me (no matter how Belgian the question), always taking care of me (despite being Belgian), and always adding some extras (even if they're not stickers)?.. Oh: and providing the most kickarse fucking kit… in the world (Clarkson out)

Yeah, sorry… Just had to... 

[Alex]

Must be your lucky day, @Brock

[dinobarnesberlin]
