Weehoo! I gots me a job!

[DarkTirade]

Nothin' fancy, just at a store in the next town over. But income's income. :) And I get an employee discount for all the nifty crafty stuff I'll probably end up spending half my paycheck on.

I start tomorrow at (ugh!) 9 in the morning. :hangover:

[khashka]

1. Damn!

If I'd known you were looking for a job I'd have offered you one. As sex slave. OK, the pay wouldn't have been great but the hours would have been.

Anyway, congrats.

Khash.

[DarkTirade]

3. What about health and dental?

:shrug:

[khashka]

5. I have a medical fetish

I think I could swing it. Dental? I might enjoy it but doubt you would.

Khash.

[DarkTirade]

13. Just gotta warn you... I bite.

and without proper dental care that could be a problem. :shrug:

[khashka]

15. Bet I bite harder.

So don't even try, boy. I'll draw blood!

Khash.

[DarkTirade]

16. Been there, done that.

Still got some scars from an ex who liked the taste of blood.

[lost-in-nj]

2. YEAH YOU!!!!!

:woohoo: :woohoo:



GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!


:hi:



lost

[DarkTirade]

4. I'll probably just be unloading the trucks in the morning and stocking the shelves in the day...

but like I said, a job's a job, and income's income. :hi:

[poliscifanboy]

8. Is the pay good?

I am un-employed right now, I want a good job but I want to get paid well. I am making more off my benefits that I have been offered from any perspective employers.

[DarkTirade]

10. It's fairly low, but since I'm in a situation where I don't have many bills to pay, that's good

enough for me.

[ghostsofgiants]

6. Do your employers realize what they've gotten themselves into?

:P

[DarkTirade]

12. They'll find out soon enough.

:evilgrin:

[MorningGlow]

7. D00d! Congrats!

Chain, or local establishment?

[DarkTirade]

11. Chain, unfortunately. Michael's.

But there really isn't much in the way of local establishments right there, it's right across the street from the mall. Most of the local places are all in the various towns themselves.

[MorningGlow]

28. Mmmm...beads...

DROOOL. You have found my weakness.

Seriously, that's a good store. Very clean. And they try to be friendly.

I know what you mean about local establishments. The only ones I know about are in the villages of Victor and Canandaigua, and they're all tiny. The mall and the surrounding territories are where it's at, for better or worse.

Enjoy your new income! :hi:

[DarkTirade]

36. Victor's pretty good for me, it's close and I'm there three times a week anyway

although I only have about a four hour gap those three days that I can use to work.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

9. Woohoo!

Good for you! :yourock:

[DarkTirade]

14. I was a bit worried that I started looking too late... summer's started

which means I'd be competing with all the high school kids for jobs. :P

[SalmonChantedEvening]

17. Awright DT!!

The first gallon of coffee's my treat.

:toast: :yourock: :pals:

[DarkTirade]

18. In hindsight, I'm glad I got some non-decaf in the house.

:)

[SalmonChantedEvening]

19. Vot dis is, dis decaf?

:silly:

[DarkTirade]

20. It is the anti-coffee. It puts you to sleep when you combine it with whiskey.

Unlike real coffee, which keeps you drunkely alert when mixed with whiskey. :P

[SalmonChantedEvening]

22. best description ever :)

:rofl:

:thumbsup:

[DarkTirade]

24. Best part is, the non-decaf I got is irish cream flavored.

So all I need to add is the whiskey and I've got irish coffee. :P

Hmm... I also have scotch... I wonder if it would explode if I added scotch instead of irish whiskey...

[SalmonChantedEvening]

26. Nah, it'd just change tartans

:D

[Dangerously Amused]

21. Go YOU!

:woohoo:

Michael's did a really nice job framing my last print, and at a great price too.

[DarkTirade]

23. That poor print.

Did it ever get out of prison?

[Dangerously Amused]

27. Yes, but it's hiding in plain sight on my living room wall.

Shhhh...

[bigwillq]

25. Congrats!

:toast:

[DarkTirade]

32. Thanks!

And now, I must bid DU Adieu.

'cause I gotta wake up early tomorrow. :P

[stuntcat]

29. crafty stuff!!!

You mean great stuff to get an employee discount on :headbang: I bet you'll like your new job!

[DarkTirade]

34. Yeah, I'll probably spend the entire time I'm stocking shelves thinking,

"I could totally use that to make XXXXX... oh, and this will make a good base for a YYYY to go with the XXXXX..." :P

[fizzgig]

30. good luck!

now if i could just find me one of those that paid more than my unemployment, i'd be set :D

i thought of you the other day...my bf's water dragon died (we don't know what happened, he was just there in the water, his legs on the side of the glass like they were on the bottom) and i knew that you'd be sad for him :(

[DarkTirade]

35. I'm in the lucky position of not having to pay much in the way of bills

so I don't have to be picky about salary. I just need SOME kind of income.

Awww. Poor water dragon. :( I thought about getting one of those once, but I knew I wouldn't have enough room for one.

I'm sure my sis-in-law would have been surprised to see it if I had though... since she just moved across the world away from their natural habitat to live here. :P

[madeline_con]

31. 9 A.M. beats 7 A.M. never forget that.

There's none of that crack of dawn stuff going on. Congrats! :hi: :toast:

spell edit as usual

[DarkTirade]

33. Well, I still gotta wake UP at the crack of dawn...

mostly 'cause I need to run to Target first and buy a semi-nice shirt. Unfortunately I'm a t-shirt and jeans guy, and I have 'nice' button-down shirts for when I need them... but I don't have anything inbetween. D'oh. :P

[DarkTirade]

37. Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go...

I've been forwarned that the first day will involve sitting in front of some silly corporate videos, but after the ones I had to sit through at my last job, these should be a breeze.

[Midlodemocrat]

38. What about your job as my cabana boy?

Will you still have time for that or do I need to start another search?

:woohoo:

:bounce:

Congrats!

[DarkTirade]

44. There's ALWAYS time for that.

:P

[ThomCat]

39. Congratulations!

So now you'll be able to afford to come for a visit? :P

:loveya:

[DarkTirade]

45. Ironically, now I'll have less time... d'oh.

Catch 22... if you don't have a job you can't afford a life. If you do have a job, you don't have time for a life. Time really is money. :P

[ThomCat]

50. And DU will just help you waste what little time you have left.

Doh! :P

If I can ever get back up to Buffalo I really want you to come over and visit. That might be easier than you coming all the way down to NYC. :)

[DarkTirade]

54. Yeah, Buffalo ain't too far from here.

I hear they have halfway decent chicken wings too. :yoiks:

[applegrove]

40. Happy for you ((Dark))!

[DarkTirade]

46. Thanky.

I'm happy too. :)

[Parche]

41. Congratulations

Is It an Adult Book Store?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:hi:

:hug:

[DarkTirade]

47. If I knew where one of those was in this area, I wouldn't even have to answer that question...

:P

[RainDog]

42. congrats. welcome to the working poor!

there are lots of us these days and our ranks are growing.

soon, we'll all have to move to mcMansions b/c the moneyed will want to live where we are. (just joking, sort of.)

[DarkTirade]

48. Been one ever since before I moved out of my parents' house. :P

It's just the last six months or so that I've been unemployed.

Come to think of it... I think the only times I've ever been unemployed were when I was in school full time with the one exception of the couple of months when my job suddenly went under with no warning.

[redqueen]

43. Congrats!

Nine isn't so bad... at least it's not seven, right?

[DarkTirade]

49. Well, some days it might end up being ridiculously early...

some days the delivery truck gets there at 5. That's 5 a.m., not p.m.

And they'll need people to unload it. And I'll need the money. :P

[Generic Brad]

51. So much positive news tonight!

Good for you!

[DarkTirade]

56. I'm just glad I'm in a position where I don't have to be picky

and I was able to accept this job instead of worrying about whether I'd be getting enough hours or enough per hour or all that crap that I woulda had to worry about six months ago or so. :)

[Fox Mulder]

52. It's not at a Wal-Mart, is it?

Because that's where I'm working at right now. :(

I help unload the trucks and then stock the shelves afterwards. My hours are 2 pm until 11 pm. x(

[DarkTirade]

55. Nope. I get to sell to soccer moms and little old ladies who want to do craft projects

and the occasional actual artist who finds that this store is closer than any of the actual art stores in the area and they don't need anything too specialized. :P

[lightningandsnow]

53. Good luck!

:hug:

[DarkTirade]

57. So far everybody there seems pretty nice

and I'm learning fairly quickly.

I just hope they don't make me do the cash register too much... despite the fact that I'm good at math, that's just not really my forte. :)
