I've only had one day off in the past 17 days.

I'm about to lose my job

ThePhanastasio 08-29-2013 12:40 AM

Just dropped $350 on car ****. Still have other stuff to do next check that I couldn't afford this week. I hate cars.

I have shiny new motor mounts and fluids changed, though. But one of my bastarding cylinders is acting up.

I could have afforded the diagnostics for the cylinder this week, but decided gas for work and actually eating for the next week are important.

That sucks, I used to work 7 days a week when I was training - 5 days a week as a trainee teacher and then Saturdays and Sundays as a waitress. It nearly killed me :(

Yoiks! Did you have sex with the cleaning lady on your desk?

Burning Down 08-29-2013 08:39 AM

I haven't had a real vacation in about 5 years. Can't miss school and need to work over the summer to save up the dough for the future.

Yeah its a rough economy to travel on. I just received my tickets a few days ago. Gonna hit Hawaii in October. I wish Oahu could be my second home, but the 700 dollar airfare is a huge hit when you pay for two. Nice to know someone in the hotel industry, my stay at the Hilton is only 49 dollars a night. Seafood buffet here I come.

djchameleon 08-29-2013 11:12 AM

well well well I had a vacation like three months ago be jealous!

Also I'm getting ready to head on another one pretty soon in like two weeks.

NYC for some show right? I love NYC its so multicultural and awesome. The food is insane and the people, while coming with a bad reputation were actually very cordial. I found Boston to be awesome also, I could live in either state in a heartbeat.

No, that's this weekend. I didn't even count that. I'm going down there tomorrow for the music festival: Electric Zoo. I'm staying down there for labor day weekend then coming back up on Monday. Next weekend after that is Dave Chappelle concert in Dirty Jerz then the weekend after that is my trip to Austin.

Dave Chappelle concert, wtf when did he come back from his South African hiatus. Sounds like a good time. Austin doesn't sound like any fun right now, the weather is so brutal this time of year. Have a good time man, sure the Chappelle concert will be a huge highlight.

They want a cold blooded sales shark. That's just not me. I'm really good at being a consultant. But I never hit my quotas. I'm so fucking done with sales quotas. Example...

This girl comes in the store, she told me she was mugged and her phone was stolen. She was in to make sure her service was off. So I checked her account, didn't see anything. So I called the support center and checked to see if her phone was reported as lost/stolen. The girl hears me say that and just goes off on me almost in tears about how it wasn't lost it was stolen and she was mugged and so forth, I calmed her down saying I knew it was stolen, that the status was identified as lost/stolen and was technically the same thing, it meant that she would not be responsible for any charges that could arise, and that whoever stole it from her would be unable to use that phone. She calmed down after that

So after, my supervisor asked me what took place, I explained, my supervisor asked if I tried to talk her into adding a line to her account. http://209.160.24.31/d/467/751/1snsq...smconfused.gif

Flight of the Conchords will be there with him as well. Also, I'm going down to Austin to nerd out with my fellow guild mates from World of Warcraft. So I'm going to have fun there. Meeting people in real life that I've been playing with for 2-3 years is going to be pretty cool.

The only problem is, I'm really good with these little handheld computers (as you know). I wish there was a way to make a living helping people with their phones without having to sell and make a fucking quota.

Yeah they charge outrageous rates and have been known to do shoddy work at best.

Burning Down 08-29-2013 12:13 PM

I've never used them myself and I've also never seen any really hard evidence that they're ****ty.

Yeah. I'm patiently waiting for my first paycheck. I should be getting it this Thursday. I'm expecting around $1,000-1,100 (I get paid bi-weekly).

Dude, if I get into the fetal position and start reciting every one of my flaws, both real and perceived that I have with my tears forming a puddle of salt and despair under my face then I can probably get a manager position.

means every fortnight.

I've only got five days of work left and only ten days left until I jump ship and move to Glasgow, exciting times. Went raking around the old caravan at my grannies house earlier for stuff to take to Uni with me, f*ck paying for a set of pots and pans, etc.

I still have my Bescherelle. Such a lifesaver, even though I was really good at French, lol.

Sequoioideae 09-03-2013 07:37 PM

My day was pretty weird, uncomfortably weird. I went out with a friend last night, got drunk, ate hash cookies, and smoked up a bit. It was pretty different as far as what I'm used to, but fun. I was so gone I ended up picking a guitar, getting it in open G (after a few minutes of trying to tune an out of tune guitar whilst fucked up) and played some middle eastern jams, and the chick we were hanging out with starting singing some phonetic garble, it flowed so well. I was so gone that night I tried hitting the bowl backwards, I'm a friggin' klutz.

Well, then I come home in the morning hung over, and I'm pretty sure I was still a tad high. I had to pull a full shift of work, and boy was it just not fun. Our new manager asked me the weirdest fucking question I've ever been asked at work. "Have you ever had your ass eaten out by a girl?", I just don't know what to say to something like that, nor do I want to ever think about it. Seriously, I thought I was immune to that shit but it legitimately creeped me out. So I had to deal with chester the molester, being hung over as shit, and the daily stress of my shit job. Man, I hate days like these.
