i'm not allowed to do cocaine, because i'm pretty much just like that by default, so i'm pretty sure if i ever do coke i'll just explode and maybe just run through a crowded area punching people in the face



which thread is this?

[elpollodiablo]

Actually (and this is completely anecdotal, so you know, YMMV) in my experience people who are generally higher strung just tend to get the euphoric effects of coke, not so much the wild overdrive that affects mere mortals.

So let's go do some bumps and hit a bar.

i don't like euphoria, i get really foreboding feelings and a desire to fuck people up when i'm artificially happy. i like weed because it doesn't make me happier than i should be, i just go, "well, this doesn't suck so bad." i don't like ecstasy either. shit ain't real.

but enough about shitty drugs.

I've found that this is true.

My job is sending me to training for a week in New York. They're arranging everything, and I'm not sure what the schedule looks like, but it should be pretty fun.

[das kranke Tier]

That's awesome!

By the way, I think I came across wrong in that one post...please disregard.

[El_Josharino]

Pretty fucking pumped for a vacation this week.

[Aglaya]

So I have been training for the Barnes & Noble cafe for a week now and it's been awesome fun.  I'm really looking forward to that.
I also got a job at Charlotte Russe, and now that I've done two days of training there, I have to get back in touch with Victoria's Secret because they called to offer me a job too.  Lane Bryant also called for an interview, but I don't think I'll bother at this point.  Two jobs is enough for now.

Hey good work Aglaya! Nice to see you have an excuse for not being here very much of late.

I have my first little bit of work this year starting for a few days today - a little editing job. I am a little undrprepared for it I think...

[alistarr*]

i'm really wondering if i'll get everything done this week. with that, i bid ye all farewell for a couple of days (i hope).

[Antero]

Goddammit Chicago, hire me.

In sore need of weekend work, I trudged through Borders' online application yesterday.  Does everyone use that same format nowadays?  With the skullfuck 25 pages of "Are you a happy person who will steal unrepentantly from an employer while jerking off?" questions?

I just want a fucking weekend job.

In high school, a friend of mine applied at the Eddie Bauer store in our local mall. It was one of those applications, but on paper, and included one of my favorite interview questions ever: "Do you think of yourself as someone who likes to 'raise hell?'"

Who says yes to that on a job application?  I guess it just weeds out the really stupid hellraisers.

[C of heartbreak]

Or maybe they are looking for quirky and energetic employees.

[Maaik]

I'm picturing an Eddie Bauer store where all the employees are shotgunning beers and paragliding around.

[YojimboMonkey]

if they don't want hellraisers I don't want to work for them.

today my GODDAMN JOB has me at the Microsoft Server 2008 launch event.  so far the swag sucks.

That reminded me of one of my four interviews with Hot Topic. (That's right, it took them four interviews to figure out they didn't want to hire me... At least I realized it would have been a horrible career move after the second interview and went to the other two out of desperation.) Apparently company policy includes "raising hell" or at least being encouraged to be generally loud and obnoxious. Who knew?

[elpollodiablo]

That's hilarious. I wonder if they have quotas.


X% OF HELL MUST BE RAISED QUARTERLY
REFER TO YOUR EMPLOYEE MANUAL

[SPACERACE]

hah. unmentionable hell gets raised in this here building. the kind of shit where if hot topic's idea of hellraising came by, it would leave with broken spirits and bones.

[Andrew_TSKS]

"mike, it's come to my attention that you're only raising the minimum of hell that we require from our employees."

"what, do you want me to raise more hell? if you want me to raise more hell, why don't you just make the minimum higher?"

"we don't want people to just raise the minimum amount of hell. we'd like for people to express themselves."

"i'm fine with expressing myself, i just don't necessarily want to do it by raising more than the minimum of hell."

also, there was a tri state killing spree song that was directly inspired by and indirectly about these exact types of job applications.

[FreddyKnuckles]

never heard of them

[Andrew_TSKS]

you dumbass, that was my band.

[FreddyKnuckles]

you dumbass, I was giving you a hard time
