^I am appalled by your conduct, sister! And to think how our mother's nerves will be after she finds you gone. Oh what will father say now?
Ooooh, good work kiddo, get that license too. Um, I mean, aye aye Captain Take care John, hopefully I'll catch up with you tomorrow.
oh man, job gives me a new schedule, they're like, "come in at 4 -12 from now on, fool!" I pout....:/ Hope its safe at that hour, though I'll be on bike.
4 AM to 12 PM or 4 PM to 12 AM? Either way, damn...crappy hours. You could always do what I did and quit your job, then you'll have NO schedule! But also no monies. I think maybe I'll start making crafts and selling them online...
to 12 am....sigh....I'm waiting for a call back from some department stores...hope they call by tomorrow...so I can quit.... Whatever you sell, I'll buy a box full!
One job I had was 9-5, but the wrong way. I was doing some performance analysis on telco service databases, but I could only do it during the hours that no one was using the systems. Three month project. The worst part, I still had to have meetings with them during the daylight hours, so it was a relatively sleepless three months.
What is telco? Sounds like they pay well. I remember I had a clothes stocking job that was from 12 am to 6 am, I could only take that for a while.
"Telco" is shorthand for a telephone company. It was a contract job. I'm a software engineer, and this was a solo job. They set me up with a separate phone line at home - I had to use one line as a voice line and the other for a modem connection. I had to access the systems over a dialup line, but had to speak with people there while connecting to pass the security points. So I was working with no one else around for three months, sleeping when I could during the day. Like a major, unrelenting case of jet lag and isolation.
^Ugh, that's horrible. Yeah, a co-worker of mine had a shift at a local mall that made him work from like 10pm at night to 2am in the morning. It wasn't that long of a shift, but he worked all day too. It was Aeropostle.
Aww, yay! I'll make you some awesome beanies or something. Good luck with the prospective jobs! Hopefully tons of them call you back, so you'll have your pick of employment. Daaaaaaaaaaaamn! That sort of schedule is terrible, man. My second semester of my junior year and first semester of senior year in high school, I worked like 4 PM to 3-4 AM, then got up for school at 5:20. I still have issues sleeping because it effed my sleep schedule so badly.
I would positively enjoy a beanie My current job is bad, I mean today I found out the turnover rate is really high. They had 2 new trainees in the cubicle next to me, and like 6 people waiting to be interviewed, probably to fill the 24 hour/7day work week!
The worst shift for me at my old job was 0600 to 0100 the next day. (Yes, 6am to 1am). Sometimes it would be even longer... Fortunately I got off that day to rest 90% of the time. When they needed me still, I'd get a hotel room 5 minutes away and still only be expected to work 6 hours max. I was just nonfunctional past that. >.>' Glad I don't work there anymore!
Seriously, Pallas, if you want one, I'll make you a beanie. Just tell me what color. And then wait patiently, because I'm a very slow knitter. You'll get it in like a year or so. Man, crappy work hours suck. :/ Joel had to be at work at 5:30 or 6 am yesterday, and then he got home at 6:30 PM. Came in first...left last. Awesome.
That sounds perfect for the coming winter then, get at it, H, I want one post haste, chop chop now, a white one... If Joel is still relatively new, I guess its a kind of newbie work mule custom, its like that everywhere I have worked...
Will do, sir. And he's not new at all, actually, which is what's the most frustrating about his crappy schedule. The typical employee with his company stays there for roughly a year. When he first started, he was told that as he gained seniority, his schedule would improve. He's been there for ten months now, longer than most of the people there, but he still is usually one of the first to get screwed. I'm inclined to think it's because he's a hard worker, and they know that he'll sack up and do it, so at least it's a positive reason that he's getting the crap shifts, but still...it's frustrating. He's looking at moving to another company when he hits his year mark, though, and they pay you a base salary for each day you work plus a bonus for every flight over a certain amount that you do. That will be nice-either he'll work less than he does now, or he'll make tons more money. /rant
bah, it's that you show an once of integrity and responsibility and everyone dumps their work on you...hopefully the new place will be a better working environment for joel, H... and give me some of the monies... As for me, I'm not going to be busting my wrists on the stupid ad stuff. I'm taking it chilled. The whole issue seems pointless to me, like if you just made up a job of holding up some plates or whatever for the day or something....:/
I just had a question pop in my head. Suppose you have a couple and a child. Father- French. Mother- Irish. Child- ??? They have been living in America since the child was born. Would the child therefore be American? Or would the child be French-Irish. I am assuming the child would be French-Irish.
^ I *think* he'd have all citizenships, but if he was born and raised in America, he'd be an American with an French-Irish background.
If you're born in America you're American. And unless you're a Native American, everyone here had an ancestor that came from overseas. The child is French and Irish and American, but depending on who you talk to, American first!
If all you identify is American culture and idioms then you are wholly American, culturally speaking of course with no regard to race. However if you enjoy Haggis and wearing Berets than maybe you still got a bit of Irish and French in you, haha. Like phenotypically, I am from the andes, but I grew up in New york, so I am culturally more american than anything else, but I still enjoy a good canelazo, san juanito, or humita, and partake in some more andean customs.
