Had some extra time in between doing some FAFSA stuff and preparing Ebay auctions, so I finally decided to post some new deals in the deal forum... haven't done that in quite awhile.

Nothing special, though.
 
Well, the cute white girl that I've had the longest crush on in the cafeteria was really nice to me today.

I had given up on her over a month ago. My random chats with her were going nowhere.
I had even made her a mix CD that wasn't received with very much enthusiasm.

Sigh.

So eventually, I stopped talking to her, still smiled and nodded hello when I saw her. And that was that.

But today, she seemed very happy to see me, she even said my name!
We had a quick, very pleasant conversation, we both laughed and smiled at each other.
It's made my day, but what does it mean?
 
It means she's (a) gotten over the fact that you freaked her out and is trying to be normal again or (b) she hasn't gotten any in a while and knows you're a sure thing. Hmmm... question is, which one is it?

[quote name='Gothic_Walrus']You're on earlier than you have been the past few days. What's the occasion? :)[/quote]

got out of work early. my temp job is at a printing press sending out samples to the customers for approval. this was a bit slower of a week than usual and so i didnt have any more samples to proof and send.
 
Dude Graystone fucking go to Olive Garden and ask them what the deal is.

Unless this is something other than the job they've been stringing you along with.
 
[quote name='Graystone']Olive garden was supposed to call me yesterday but didn't. I've tried to call a few times today but the phone's been busy all day.[/QUOTE]

Dude.

Give up.

Do you really want to work for a place that is as unorganized and shitty as this?

I did that once, I worked for a company that I knew from the beginning was unorganized and fucked up not only my application (numerous times) but also my orientation date. I still worked for them anyways, and working for them was a headache because the company was just as unorganized.

Consider this to be a sign, consider them being unorganized and putting you through bullshit what you will have to deal with at work every. single. day. Imagine if getting hired is such a headache and a pain in the ass, imagine what working for them will be like?
 
[quote name='Warner1281'](b) she hasn't gotten any in a while and knows you're a sure thing[/quote]It's that one. I say go for it.

I think I'm going to develop ringworm now. Somebody I know has it apparently. I was messing with him and grabbed the spot with it, not knowing. I held on for maybe 5-6 seconds trying to pull him into a window. I then washed my hands with water and soap about a minute later. Is there any chance I got it, or should I be in the clear?

I need the job man, I've been living off my credit cards for a while. I've got to get a job. I've never let my credit cards get out of control but they're starting to.

Look at it like this I went to about 25 places, 11 gave me an app, 2 called me back for an interview.

Jobs are hard to come by around me. I've go to take what I can get. Today they're just proly busy as all hell.

I completely understand what you guys are saying. Normally I would agree but jobs are hard to come by me recently. Lots of companies doing lay-offs. People graduating college can't find jobs. etc etc. I live in a town thats dependent on the auto makers for jobs.

Apparently they've been busy as hell for what, a week? two weeks now? And they don't bother to ever call you back, or even let you know what is going on?

Jobs are hard to come by for anyone but hey, good luck with Olive Garden, because every day it's a new excuse.

Take Sixers idea and just go down there and demand to talk to whoever you talked to before.

Are you applying EVERYWHERE or just food service places? Because there is a ton of retail jobs out there that take anyone 99% of the time. Right now you're sitting around waiting for a job that is just dicking you over constantly.

I'm speaking of food service. I could work retail but its getting to the point that I'm willing to work retail again. walmart burned me out on retail. Its not something I want to do again but will if I have to.

The thing of it is I could work a meaningless retail job. Or get my foot in the restaurant industry and start working on a career. See thats why I'm not really giving up on olive garden its more then a job. Its my foot in the restaurant business. The start of what I really want to do.
 
You should get your foot in the restaurant business somewhere else, because that place will be nothing but trouble for you once they employ you and fuck with you even more.

Or you could work retail while you keep putting in apps in the food industry so you at least have some money coming in?

Just because you have a job doesn't mean you are stuck in that one for life. I don't think Chika is going to be doing printing stuff for the rest of her life, she is just using the temp job until something opens up in her field, so at least some money is coming in.

I could see why you don't want to give up but this place has been screwing you over from the beginning, and you're not getting paid a cent while they keep giving you an excuse day after day.

Hell, when I move I'll be working at Home Depot, but you better believe I'm going to be putting in app's at other places every day while I at least bring in a paycheck.

And Sixers is right, and I know he's right from experience. I guarantee if you do get that job, I give it a week or two before you tell us how disorganized they are and how much it fucking sucks working there.
 
I'd go to a temp agency, that's what I did after I my last retail job.
No more retail, ever for me now.

Unless it's a part time music store.
 
I am leaving my Job working in the Dairy, Was the Assistant Dairy Manager, any ideas on where i could find a job that payed better, as i want to move out of the house.

I understand, Tomorrow if I don't get an answer then I'll start putting in apps at other jobs. Then work on it from there. one of the bigger perks working in the restaurant business is that they always pay more then min wage. Normally a couple bucks more which is something that retail doesn't do around me.

I don't know I need to get my finances in order, get a car, then go to college.

sigh how much pay we talking. No anal right? :cry: where did my life go wrong?



I worked at radioshack, and it was alright-enjoyable at times. But I got lucky, and had a good managar, and a laid back store.

I worked at walmart and I thought when I worked at radioshack I had met some bad customers. Walmart opened my eyes even more. Plus working at wamlart was just sad. Grown folks working full time at walmart, and they were happy with it. I asked one, one time so when you retire your going to say "I worked at walmart for 30 years."

It pissed them off, but god walmart was a sad place, and I don't let my environment affect me. But god I wanted to put a shotgun in mouth working at that place. I was super depressed working there, and I'm normally happy go lucky. walmart scared me from working retail places again.

Basically I am being forced out, because if it did stay then i would be fired, because the guy who is taking over the entire store, used to be one of the lower managers and we used to pull pranks and give him hell all day. Now that he is taking over the store has has the power to fire me and my lackees, im pretty sure it will happen.
 
[quote name='sixersballernum3']Firing you simply because he dislikes you? Isn't there some way to prevent that?[/QUOTE]

Nope, there isn't, as long as he doesn't say that's what he's firing him for, you could fire anyone over anything.

Maybe he hasn't been working as hard as the other guys, for instance, whoops, terminated.

When I could fired from TRU they told me they didn't even have to tell me what they were firing me for, just that "One of the employees mentioned I wasn't working to my full potential and passing off my duties to the seasonal crew", when, in reality, I was dating someone who also worked there and it was strictly frowned upon by the new manager, who had already fired one guy who was married to someone else there, and another guy who was dating someone as well.

Not around here, i have been always been forced out/fired from my jobs because people didnt "like" me.

Example: I used to work at gamestop about a year and a half ago, and suddenly my name was not on the schedule, not sure of what i had done or if it was a simple mistake, i asked the manager what the hell was up, he just gave me a dirty look and said see you later.

A girl that i used to work with there ended up becoming one of my best friends and at the time we were doing things outside of work, nothing that serious or at least nothing i would call serious. I came to find out a couple of months ago that this bastard was calling her up almost every night and saying some very dirty things to her( We were around 18 at the time, this guy was close to 40) and that he fired me because i was getting in the way of his plan to marry her.

Talk about fucked Up.

Yea, that's bad, but my girlfriend works in a CVS in a not so nice part of town, and the people she deals with on a regular basis and the stories she tells me shocked even me.

The other day, a lady threw a syringe at her... it wasn't open, but the lady needed a syringe, CVS only carries one type, and she said "How the hell am I gonna get this in my ass? WHAT THE fuck!!" and threw it at my gf.

An old man threw his inhaler at the pharmacist and almost shattered the computer screen... luckily the pharmacist caught it at the last minute.

Another guy tried to jump across the counter to beat up the lead tech but was so fat he couldn't get over the counter.

They have to throw out 3 - 5 people a day, and the manager is so sick of it that they now call the police when customers start getting violent, so the police are there often.

Usually it's because their health care provider did something to screw these people over, and they take it out on the pharmacist and the tech's.
 
How long does it take to beat super paper mario?

I bought it for my Wii, but then I watched a video review, and it looks like a rental due to the fact that it seems to have no replay value.

According to usps I should have my Wii monday.

It was an impulse purchase but 3 minutes after sixers posted it in the OTT it was sold out. I'm gathering stuff to sell on amazon, and ebay to make up for the cost. So it Super paper mario reall worth the $50?

Why would you need to stick a syringe in your ass?
 
No replay value = false.

There's 256 cards to collect, a bunch of recipes to discover, and some special challenges after the game is done.

I've logged 20 hours thus far.
 
[quote name='dcfox']Why would you need to stick a syringe in your ass?[/QUOTE]

I have no idea... my girlfriend called me as soon as the lady got escorted out, that some big black woman came up to the pharmacy desk, was getting her prescription, and said she needed to buy a syringe.

My girlfriend went and got the only one they carried, and I guess the lady was already pissed because her health care provider wasn't paying for everything, or there was a mix up.

My girlfriend tells her this is the only syringe they carry, hands it to her, the lady looks at it and in a loud voice in front of everyone goes "GIRL, WHAT THE fuck IS THIS? THIS SHIT ISN'T fuckING BIG ENOUGH TO PUT IN MY ASS!!! fuck YOUR SYRINGE AND fuck CVS!!!" and tossed it at her, and it hit my girlfriend in the head.

I remember her telling me someone threw a syringe at her and the first thing I said was "holy shit was it open or used???".

The lady got escorted out of the store and that's when the manager put up the policy that if anyone gets violent in any way, the police are to be called immediately, because he is sick of the customers assaulting the pharmacist and the tech's.

The lady tried to come back a week later and was told she either had to leave immediately or the police would be called, that all of her prescriptions were transferred to another CVS.

I ordered that but I figured I have the wii games it comes with, plus zelda tp plus a few vc console games I'll buy with the 2000 point card I bought.

I think he was also the one who made a thread about buying the Wii, then continued to call it a gimmicky piece of shit in the DK Bongo Blast thread because Bongo Blast control scheme sounds like shit.
 
Anyone in the OTT watch The Unit? Just checked speedy's dvd thread and CC is going to have it for $18 and was wondering if it was a good show.
