[ml1201]

[Demonskid]

at least she was able to get SOME food before she lost the card xD

[Lawtan]

I am forever a fan of whoever designed those backgrounds...

[ml1201]

lol, me too. XD I think I'll grab at least two of each for mix and matching purposes. XD

[Demonskid]

I love the BGs as well. I should be getting one soon and adding it to my avi. x3

They did a wonderful job on them.

Where's the Event Forum... geeze 3<

[Witchchylde]

Hoping to get the other one tomorrow possibly. But, this one is really nice and moody.

[ml1201]

It's in the sub forum for the event. XD

[ml1201]

Boy, I didn't think I'd be the one to kill the thread! XD Well, here's something to get this topic revived.

So, I used to work at a sucky place which only paid me $8.25 an hour. The reason why it was sucky was because I ran main register and customer service, I almost never had back-up, I constantly had to look up and print tickets because our stockers weren't doing their job, I had to do work for the managers that I wasn't supposed to do and could get fired for, then got yelled at when the system timed out and I had to pester the managers to redo the permissions for me because I was busy ringing up customers when it timed out. And here's the icing on the cake, with doing all of that the stockers were being paid $8.00 an hour, never even touching the registers and the assistant manager that was hired instead of the furniture manager getting the position had never run a register in their entire life and would talk on the phone with their friends half the time instead of doing something productive, like stocking when he had no work to do like the other manager that didn't sit on their a** most of the day.

So my new job pays $12.00 an hour and I get commission bonuses for services my company provides (installing and repairing certain things), and all I do is walk around a store all day talking to people and giving information about our services and products in a store location since I work for an office and they don't have a store.

Well, at the store I do announcements for my company's services on the intercom, and it apparently sounds so good that at first the people in the store thought me talking was a recording, like for a commercial or something. Then everyone found out I do them myself and its not recorded, so now the manager wants to hire me at his store to do work like that for him but in other things than just what my current job does. They offer benefits to part timers, they have a tuition plan, they are willing to compete to get me to work for them, and on top of that I'd be saving on travel expenses because right now I have to do a two hour round trip for meetings once a week and pay an $8 toll on the way back for my current job. The only thing I was afraid of was that since this job offer is in a different state I'd have to pay two states for taxes, but I found out from my professor its only to the state with the higher taxes because the other state will take their part from the higher tax state anyways. So all around they are better, and they are willing to work around my schedule too! I've put in for it and hopefully I'll be talking to the manager about it and discussing the paperwork there and what all my job would entail.

*Claps for ml1201* I hope things continue to look up for you :)

And, yeah, the OTKH tends to die until someone remembers it and revives it.

[ml1201]

lol, which is why I posted that job updated. XD And I'm also waiting to hear back from a defense contractor in hopes of getting a job because I was told there's an opening in that company.

[Demonskid]

=w= poor thread xD

I need a job.. but I don't want to deal with people and the ones around here all deal with people.

The Mission where I work off my food stamps is so full of drama.. Like.. dude you guys are the boss's and you bring more drama than your volunteers! WTF!

[Witchchylde]

Well, I need an -income-, definitely. I might actually be able to get some artwork done later today for a change, I'm feeling exceptionally perky at the moment. Lucky thing too, because I've got a commission on Solia that I need to get started on.

[ml1201]

@DK
Yeah, I know what you mean, which is why I want an office job. x'D

@Witchy
Wish I was good enough at art to make a living off of commissions. o///o My friend KC for the most part gets just enough to do that, but usually just barely.

[Demonskid]

O3o Dude... I might be able to sell one of my arts as a tattoo... my neighbor wants one of my arts on the right side of his neck..

[ml1201]

Awesome!! XD
