I applied for a Job at a Hobbytown USA opening up in town in about a week or so. Really excited at the prospect of working at a place that isn't really retail and has lots of stuff that's nifty. I'm crossing my fingers in anticipation, hoping really hard...
THen, come to find out, the Older Bro wants to submit an application there too.
SON OF A BITCH.
He dropped out of college this semester for whatever bullshit reason, and has been out of work for...like...two or so months. He's an asshole, and has only applied once at Comp USA and isn't following up on it AT ALL, despite the fact he knows a guy that works there.
Now, I'm thinking...He does have qualifications to work at aHobby store, since all he ever fucking does at home is sit in his stanky room (It STINKS cause I swear he never BATHES.) painting little warcraft miniatures and shit, he has cashiers experience....But He's doubly qualified to work at CompUSA with all it's computery stuff, which he's good with.
Now, I'm figuring the Pay for CompUSA would be better, there might be more benefits, and it sure as hell would be better to work with someone you know rather than a bunch of people you wouldn't..
So I KNOW for a fact he's only applying there because I applied there, and he doesn't want it the situation where "His Little brother has a job whereas he, at 23, does not". And what really burns me is that he is more qualified, experience wise, than myself. He's worked at three other places, while all I do is bust my ass selling trading cards at campus and work twice as hard as he does at everything at home.
I know I'm more reliable than him, I know I can work ten times as hard as him, and I know I won't be a total screw up like him, but god damn it if he does submit that application and actually SNAGS that job over me, I swear I might just put him in traction. Seriously. Nobody in this household would bust my balls over it.

Just knife him in his sleep and be over with it.

>_> I'm not that evil. Knifing in the back is too underhanded for me.

Okay, in the front then.

If you know who he put as personal references on his application tell them that if Hobbytown calls they should say that he'd only be working that job until one he really wants comes up and that he dropped out recently so he might not be too reliable on a long-term basis. And then they could mention that his younger yet much more reliable brother also applied and really wants the job.

Or you could knife him.

Thass the thing. He WON'T Drop out of it. He'll keep it so as to keep Dad off his ass about getting a job. BY TAKING MY JOB. My potential job. The Job I really want.

Really, the best you could do is just apply and hope the better man gets the job.

Or have a phantom order up a clone army, give them to the Jedi to use, then when the Jedi are nice a comfortable, have the clones kill the Jedi, kill your pregnant wife, then bring order to the Galaxy through fear. I don't see how it could possibly go wrong.

Tom, just shut up. Just, stuff it in your James Earl Jones Voice filter and shut up.

The point is getting his references to say he'd quit. Who gives a crap if it's true or not. The employer will just toss his app out when he hears that. And if they recommend you it'd be a big plus in your column. And if you don't know his references you could always make the call yourself if you really think Hobbytown is considering hiring him. And also just calling and going over there to ask about your application and let them know how much you want the job will go a long way. Then again it's not like I have a job so what's my advice worth?

Yeah what Nuri said. I had that happen to me before, not with my sis but someone I knew.

Oh bullocks. If this drops out I can always try the outlet stores.

you would be a good bouncer

Fiero · « **Reply #16 on:** May 11, 2005, 10:41:11 PM »

Dude, I sure as hell wouldn't pull any shit if you're bouncing a club I was attending. You're fucking mean looking, in my mind's eye. Plus, you can get tatoos to match your bouncer buddies.

Max Con · « **Reply #17 on:** May 11, 2005, 11:16:48 PM »

I look so much more intimidating than Emerid.

Derrick · « **Reply #18 on:** May 12, 2005, 12:36:19 AM »

Does E have muscle? If not, then fuck it and just work at a Game Stop.

Guest · « **Reply #19 on:** May 12, 2005, 09:03:56 AM »

>_> Gamestop? You're kidding right? Nooo thank you. Yardbirds, maybe.

B E C K · « **Reply #20 on:** May 12, 2005, 01:06:41 PM »

One of my cousins is a bouncer and he got a gun pulled on him once. Somebody died in that incident I think. Merla knows about it better than I.

My Mom's friend's brother was killed outside a nightclub because some gay guy was harassing a girl who hit on his boyfriend, and when the brother left the club, he opened up his stomach and kicked his face in.

What is sad is, the guy gets out in two months. The mother is livid, and will probably call a hit out on him, their Italian.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #22 on:** May 13, 2005, 03:21:12 PM »

he opened up his stomach and kicked his face in?? WHAT???

Your area has some queer names for places.

I'll third that.

I don't care what they're named, as long as they're willing to PAY ME.

You'll care when they're paying you in nuggets and cr0n.
