I'm tired of dealing with this buddy of mine who's a poster child for bi-polar disorder. One minute he's cool, the next he's not. The problem is it seems to be me that is making him switch on and off. I'm the same as always, but somehow I seem to be able to hit that switch. F*cking annoying sh*t to have to deal with someone like this.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”

I just got ill and my allergy kicked up stronger than before.

one of our most important servers was down this morning, and when it rebooted, chkdsk started and erased most of the hard drive volume making it unusable... I'm probably going to have to be up all night monitoring the backup status.
the whole day has been a nightmare basically...
Do you get OT or comp time for your efforts tonight? If so, and if you can do the monitoring remotely from home, then it's win win cha-ching.

I applied for and got this one easy (with very little stress) job that pays well for an easy job.
Problem is - I'm contracted for six months and I can't work Thursday mornings due to time conflict with a university laboratory class, so if I don't sort this out well with my supervisor, I'll have to put down my employment.
After jerking me around for 3 weeks and my drug test and background check coming back clean, Walmart wouldn't hire me because i copped to a weed charge. How the hell was my check for misdemeanors and felonies clean? You have to move to expunge those charges.
I'll be glad when pot is legal

You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
I started med school in 2004, there needs to be at least 15 people registering for next term for college to open said term, as time went by several people was left behind because they failed several subjects, next term there won`t be 15 people thus i`m losing a term by default. : (

I'm starting to get annoyed by people thinking that I am a teenager -_-.
how old are you rockman?
That is just plain ridiculous. I'm more worried about the people who don't have petty marijuana charges on their record. I really think that stuff like this should warrant a lawsuit... a previous arrest for weed has nothing to do with any sort of job function you'd be doing at a walmart.
I totally sympathize w\ your situation.
Does walmart use that applicant screening system that places like best buy and target use? where they ask you hundreds of questions and just reword the questions over and over? I think that is the most retarded concept ever... they filter out possibly good applicants and hire douchebags who probably aren't qualified.
I shouldn't care since you voted to have me banned, but since I'm going back to school I know how you feel. Right now I'm registered for 12 hours for the Fall semester, and each semester after I will only be taking about 12 hours. If one class is canceled, I'll fall outside "full time" status and that could cause problems with taxes and such, not to mention it could add another semester before I could graduate.
Are you talking about not having enough people for a particular class, or for the entire program? That's pretty rough if they cancel the entire term for lack of participation. Maybe you can get an internship or work during the semester off.

I was taking cisco courses and they kinda threw the regulations out the window with them, because all other classes get scrapped if nobody signs up... but I had 2-3 of the cisco courses that were just me and another student.... heck.. I think my last one was just me and the teacher !
It got funny one semester because this one old faculty member's class was scrapped because of not having enough people and they wind up bringing him in to "help out" and then our class only had 3 people in it.
I need 1 credit to have my associates degree ( WOOHOO....) which I'm starting to think will impact me as much as having my GED did when I was 17.
Current bitching.... I think I have pink eye but I don't really want to goto the doctor and miss work so I'm going to tough it out until the end of the day to see if it clears up or not.. could just be bad allergies idk. I'm restraining from any hand to face contact and washing my hands religiously.
Home renovation... week 5...
The inlaws are helping us "remodel" our new house and it's now the 5th week...
Got off work early today and I get home to find no water, flys buzzing around the house ( windows / doors left open most of the day because of in and out traffic ) the cat's been put in my "office" so it smells like cat pee in here.
about to goto the store just to have an excuse to get out of here.
But we voted because we love you.
A particular class (Semiology III) wich in turn wont allow me to take Semiology IV the term after, and in order to take the other classes i must take Semiology IV along them as a correquisite.
So this term ill take everything except Semio III and next term i take nothing BUT Semio III.

a sincere letter
To: All it may concern
Subject: I don't give a damn
I really don't. On a scale of one to ten, with one being the lowest, and ten being 'damn', my level is that I don't give a damnnnn!.
I don't know why it costs so much, I don't know if we're cheaper than the store next to us. I don't know how long the special price will remain, and I don't know why the same product costs less in your town. Truth is, I don't practically care. YOU came here, so obviously you want to buy, and if you came here and didn't immediately leave after seeing the price, then either buy it, or shut the hell up.
It's not that I don't want to do my job, I'll perfectly willing to explain the difference between a 0.5 HB pencil lead head and a 0.9 B2 head. I'll gladly find you whatever stupid cartoon character collage ruled notebook, I really have no problem with my job being a cross between fetch dog and half assed wiki.
But don't think for a second that I care. not for a damn moment I'm really concerned with what gift you should bring to your 12 year old grandson (hint: not a colored pencil. try money), I'm mostly concerned with:
A. making you take the fanciest, most expensive, least sold before product to the registry.
B. Making you get out my face so I could talk and exchange jokes with my coworkers.
Also, your little, beloved, oh so charming son is finally going to school? come with him alone and leave his younger brothers with someone to watch over them (the other parent, his grandma, the television). You (and I mean it, You. not me) don't need this kind of shit, School supplies is expensive enough on it's own - you don't need to buy each one of the little monsters an attention gift.
Also, either bring the fuckin' school list, or shut up when I tell you what's good for you. on this field (as far as you know), I'm the expert. So if I say that most schools require you to bring shit that didn't exist when you were a kid, I know what I'm talking about, and you can't prove I'm lying.
It's okay if you want to see a certain color from this certain model of a Jansport bag, but if I tell you I'm going to the searing hot storage room to look for it, then you better be willing to buy it. or leave immediately afterwards. this isn't a catalog. I'm one day close to demand people to show me the money before doing any shit for them ("sure, I can look for the 5YM superbreak, just show me you got 179.99 NIS to pay for it"). And again, this is the price, there's no discount for asking real nice. and don't ask where you can find this model for a cheaper price, do your own damn research (hint: not in the mall. though, it doesn't matter for jansport, it's the same everywhere).
And I mean it. I WORK HERE. I sell stuff that we keep. as long as I'm wearing the black (with orange letters) outfit, I'm not your friend (actually, seeing as we have an imminence age difference, and you shop in the mall for funz. I'm NEVER your friend). If we don't sell enough, we will go out of business, and I'll have no money. I am not your shopping adviser. at worst case, I can direct you to the closest store of the chain, I'll even call them and ask if they have whatever you're looking for in stock. I won't direct you to our competition.
But that's not the point. the point is, that I don't give a damn. forgot to buy a present to your parents and the store closed five minutes ago? I don't care. (also, Hint: they don't need a digital photo frame, they want attention. but we don't sell attention, and we do sell digital photo frames, do you catch the drift?).
also: dear mall management. it's summer, it's hot. it's a half open mall. we need air conditioning, and if not available, more ventilation. much more ventilation. second point, I see that open space is valuable to you. you know what valuable for the people working there? it's that we can monitor what's happening in our selling space. It's Israel. our two miles long park has three entries, because the city council doesn't want to pay for a fourth security guard. why does our space have six entries, in less than a 20 feet radios? we've got more holes than a heroin shooting Swiss whore (like a Swiss cheese, only a whore). of course I can't be nice to customers (and make entire mall a better place, in the grand scale of things), if there's always a minority standing behind the bags (which are apparently more expensive here than in her town) dressed in full black, with long sleeves and all, just two steps away from the parking lot. Open space my ass, I've never seen a store that doesn't monitor who comes in and out, just put a damn fence around us.
to conclude my point, I'm not a bad sales person (at least not horribly bad), I'm simply a bad person (ok, I'm not a people's person, despite how well I hide it). I know there are much worse jobs than mine, and I'm doing an effort to do my job the best I can. but I don't care about the customers, and if you come in to see whats new after closing time, I will rip your head off and feed it to the cat the sleeps in the mall (yes, we have a cat sleeping inside the building, it's not hygienic, but I don't care, because I simply don't give a damn).

I didn't really mind it too bad at the grocery store seafood counter (except for the rare complete scumbags), it was the boredom that got to me.
Even the people who told me they could drive an hour to the shore to get whatever I was selling 10x cheaper didn't really bother me, at least they were someone to talk to for a few minutes.
Ugh, the pain brought by ripping out a nail is not pleasant at all. I tripped over some lines in the hallway and came crashing down, destroying my toe nail in the process. This is like Higurashi torture.
I am training in the shadows.
