I recommend blocking with a hosts file (others provided the link) and manually add to it if you find sites with annoying ads. It seems Edge is not quite ready with the extensions.
You have to ignore all the IE haters, as someone that developed websites back in the non-standards days of IE vs Netscape and had Windows 95 crash and lose my homework - I had my issues with MS but now I use Bing more than Google and IE11 as my main browser and it's great, plus I have a surface book on order - whoop! MS is doing well but for some reason people still think it's 2005 and cool to hate them?? Meh. Ignore the trolls.

I also recommend blocking the with a hosts file (others provided a link) and manually adding to it as you find annoying ads on your favorite sites. Also look into Disconnect. It seems Edge is not quite ready with the extensions but when they are available add that and layer the blocking!

The interviewer asked me what my biggest weakness was.
I said "Honesty".
He replied, "That isn't a weakness!"
And I said "I don't give a sh*t what you think".
I'll get my coat and leave.

Why get your coat? I have had interviews like that!

Speaking of... any interviews upcoming?
We hope to see your name change back to 'atWork'

Well, I have had some 'encouraging' phone calls from agents today and sent a couple of hopeful emails to companies that might look at me...it is so depressing.

Don't let it get you down: if you do, then you get discouraged from trying, and then you have less chance of getting selected for interview. And if you do get selected, you don't perform well because you go in with a negative mindset, and that shows in your interview performance.
I know it's difficult, but try to think positively.
Not working at this time of year has it's advantages. You don't have to go to the staff Christmas party. You don't have to play "secret Santa" for people you actively dislike. You don't have to get up in the dark, and get home in the dark.
Ok, it has downsides...but try not to dwell on them!

You are of course right!

I've been there, done that.
It's not easy, but getting depressed about it didn't help. Nor did drinking so I wasn't so depressed about it either...

No no no, apparently the best answer is supposed to be:
"I'm too perfectionist when I'm working on projects."
it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.

Does "Too perfectionist" means you can't finish the project because you are always searching for the perfection? 
|
|
|
|

Exactly! Someone just has to rush in on time to stop you from creating the perfect piece of software!

Now that is a slippery slope.

On the other hand, when I drink I do integrate so well...

The exponential decay of mental faculties caused via the acceleration of this conditional convergence of such spirited libations would diverge to an otherwise instantaneous velocity of projectile motion parametrized to the absolute global maximum critical point of the model at hand, as approximation by differentials is a highly absolute convergence upon the discontinuity therein.

Whoa, that's approaching sig material.

Well we should differentiate by the amount of alcohol drank, don't be so integral-ist.

Does anyone know of an algorithm for calculating the union of two polygons which may contain arcs?
There's all kinds of stuff out there for strictly line based polygons (Greiner-Hormann, Vatti), but I can't seem to find anything that includes arcs. 
EDIT: Never mind, it seems Greiner-Hormann can be generalized for arcs, but if anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to let me know still.
