Now now, the PC term is 'Metrosexual'

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #63 on:** May 23, 2005, 04:51:55 PM »

No the term is "Desperate for money."

I'm getting a job at the IRS.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #65 on:** May 23, 2005, 04:55:59 PM »

How much is the pay?

Extra Zero · « **Reply #66 on:** May 23, 2005, 05:15:09 PM »

About $16 an hour with full Government Health Benefits. It's an internship, mind you--so I'll be well on my way to an actual career.

All right, discount!

On WHAT? What would I want to buy at Bed, Bath, and BEYOND that I couldn't get at Wal-Mart cheaper?

PapaMidnight · « **Reply #71 on:** May 24, 2005, 11:23:54 AM »

Whatever you do DO NOT ask to see the "Beyond". Took the last guys five years of sliding to finally get it all sorted out, half of them died, one guy got combined with his interdimensional double and became a completely different person, and they got their home world invaded by fugly mutant monkeythings.

o_o you watch too much Family Guy.

PapaMidnight · « **Reply #73 on:** May 24, 2005, 03:51:47 PM »

Probably but what does that have to do with anything?

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #74 on:** May 25, 2005, 12:43:14 AM »

to you all people, never buy the liquid soap-Dove. It can fuck up your skin.
There, I can go to heaven now

Fiero · « **Reply #75 on:** May 25, 2005, 09:07:17 AM »

Really? I think that's what the girl told me to use when I got my lip pierced.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #76 on:** May 25, 2005, 10:01:43 AM »

nono its in general. i started gettin these little "un-tanned" spots on my arms, and i went to the doctor and he said that liquid soap, especially dove, is very strong for very delicate skin and this is the result.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #77 on:** May 25, 2005, 02:35:48 PM »

Let's make a list of where I've applied so far and the current status...

Winco Foods
Hobbytown USA
Nugget Marketplace
Yardbirds
Petco

And...
Winco Foods - Hasn't called me back since the Interview last week, so that's probably out the window.
Hobbytown USA - Currently not hiring, so that's out too.
Nugget Marketplace - Have to call back this afternoon, see if I can get a hold of a guy named Eric.
Yardbirds - No phone call
Petco - No phone call, I plan to call'em today.

Places I'm also going to apply for in the near future.
Digger's Deli
Wal-Mart / Sam's Club
Target
Safeway
Big Lots
Gamestop
Michaels
Outlet stores
Kohls (HAHAHAHHA! If I'm really desperate!!)

And a couple more places I can think of, but I'm starting to run out of spots that're local...

Extra Zero · « **Reply #78 on:** May 25, 2005, 07:25:57 PM »

Avoid Safeway like the plague, E. Kohl's actually isn't too bad, I've never worked there, but you can get started at $10 an hour with health benefits *IF* you're full time and take the right shift... Gamestop I believe has benefits for part-time employees availiable too, so I'd also look into that direction aswell.

Fiero · « **Reply #79 on:** May 25, 2005, 10:23:57 PM »

If you don't mind Starbucks I remember them starting at $9 an hour with benefits for part-timers.

Extra Zero · « **Reply #80 on:** May 25, 2005, 11:24:36 PM »

I don't think dealing with the addict-like Starbucks customers (/junkies) would be all too fun.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #81 on:** May 26, 2005, 09:09:34 AM »

Those are the "Backup tryouts". Failing tto get a call back from anyone on the list will force me to try to apply at Starbucks/Safeway...

Also, I've submitted an application to Wal-Mart, and am going to send in my application to Digger's Deli today.

Extra Zero · « **Reply #82 on:** May 26, 2005, 10:00:42 AM »

Whoa, if the Starbucks is *IN* the Safeway, REALLY avoid it E. I'm not kidding. You aren't even allowed to keep tips there, you have to pay Union dues and you're started at a set rate of $6.00. If you can, find an independent Starbucks to work at, the conditions there will be much, MUCH better. Trust me, a good friend of mine has worked in a Safeway Starbucks for a year, a job I actually got him, and he's only making $6.25, like Fiero said, you'd be making alot more at a regular Starbucks plus you won't be paying those crappy Union dues for benefits you won't see until almost two years. I think the Union initiation fee is something like $50 too...

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #83 on:** May 26, 2005, 10:16:49 AM »

hmmmm Starbucks is soooo goooood

B E C K · « **Reply #84 on:** May 26, 2005, 01:04:12 PM »

I know I've asked this already but what's a Safeway again? Is that like a department store or a grocer?

I think it'd be awesome to work at Petco.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #85 on:** May 26, 2005, 08:10:08 PM »

Grocery store.
And Petco's hasn't called me back at all.

Fuck that, the guilt of all the animals they don't sell on my head is not pleasant.

Submitted the application for Digger's Deli, and filled out an application for Breden Theatre's.

My grandmother works at a Petco, and she likes it.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #89 on:** May 28, 2005, 12:27:49 PM »

>_> I'd probably like it too if they'd call me. I'll probably call'em tuesday, see if there's a job opening.
