Hopefully the series gets better for you.  I’m not sure how much Mel Brooks was actually involved in the writing of the skits.  Critical response also seems to be “meh,” at least so far.

saw the whole 4 episodes and yeah it was ‘meh’ they only had one nod to an old mel brooks movie and i wont give it away. lol

eh I thought it was funny

Congrats on the raise… every little bit helps.

yep. both do have jobs but they are getting dicked around. something like they need to get paid more if they work different hours or something like that and its like the HR lady for them doesnt want to redo all the checks for them so they get paid the right amount or something. yeah. doesnt help that they have to move into my parents playroom for a month until they file taxes and then get a new place to live. that is the really fucked up part and i wont even get into that but ill just say it involves an uncle from the other side of the fam being a slum lord. *smh*

*blinks*

You know, you could write this and no one would ever think it was actually real. And this is coming from someone who’s had a drink in vampire bars.

you are making me really really want to write this. lol 

Seeing your post again had me pull up his Bio just now.  Until now, I never knew he was a founding member of The Byrds before CSNY.  He didn’t really waste that much time along the way.

PAID Time off is always great benefit to have. 

When it comes down to it, only you know what’s the best decision for you. If your friend can guarantee you’ll be on third shift with him, so you can get a ride home, and if you think you can handle the pace of the work, then you might be happier at Amazon.

The thing is, employers tend to take a dim view of people quitting and then looking to return because they found out the grass over at Amazon really wasn’t any greener than the grass at Wallyworld. It never hurts to have a Plan B in case you decide to make the move to Amazon, and it doesn’t work out for you.

Do what’s right for you, of course.   Keep a plan B in place, and maybe this amazon warehouse is better?

@Deadman I’m getting the feeling that my attempt at sarcasm (ie, the water bottles) is getting misinterpreted as an endorsement of amazon workplaces… it’s not, it’s the opposite.  Obviously, if the other choice is starving I wouldn’t fault a person for choosing amazon.

@Desiderius Price Oh I didn’t think it was an endorsement and figured it was sarcasm. I was just saying that some people (namely me) don’t have a job at all. I can appreciate that Walmart probably sucks as a work place, and that Amazon is also a terrible place to work. But for someone without a job, working at a terrible work place is a better option. Walmart might suck but it’s better than having no job.

Corrollary @Deadman  Walmart needs Amazon around to seem like a better place to work!  (And that’s saying something… achievement unlocked.)

Based on past experience, grocery aisles were devoid of people when shopping on Black Friday.

If you did Thanksgiving right, you shouldn’t need to visit the grocery store for a good three days.  

I plan ahead, strategizing…

Mine? I was a young kid, my dog on a leash pulled me over, face planted into over-sized gravel, snapping my front tooth.

@InvidiaRedif you was talking about me, nothing epic just drank too much soda in highschool to cause me to lose my teeth. oh and when i was a small child i was accident prone. i tripped on a sidewalk and landed on my teeth so now i got buck teeth along with the crooked and missing teeth.

@Desiderius Pricethey wanted to do a root canal and cap it but that would have cost me money i dont have so i had it pulled. but i might need to go back to get the right side done now cuz that side now hurts! i can never win!!!!

@kagome26isawsome For me, the root canal was about … 5-6 years later.  As to finances… not sure, the parents handled that given my age at the time.

omg george! YEEESSSSSS

We have rockbot so anyone can change the music… And that means the fat man is here to stay.

I think it was baptisms, but apparently so. And if you weren’t properly baptized, you couldn’t receive the other sacraments, like communion, or marriage. 

I’m quite pleased that my gods aren’t so fussy. An offering’s an offering, after all.  

Know the feeling.  Spent my winter vacation playing video games...so little writing.

Happy birthday in advance, and remember, growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional  

ty guys. i am having fun for my birthday cuz i am off for the whole week again. not hotel so its a staycation. 

Staycations are good, play, write, whatever!

Welcome back! 

ty @Desiderius Price. 

When I was a kid, every night I would chow down on those tuxedo-ish cookies after dinner. 

But I’m just dense—I never perceived their vast orgasmic potential.  Closest I came was cocking a funny look at that lady in the commercial when she started moaning—then imagined her naked. But at 15 there was only a limited set of women I would not picture naked. It was what my day was for.

I try my best to stay out of the faking an Oreo wars. I mean, are they really faking an Oreo or just improving on the whole experience? Is an Oreo by any other name a Hydrox? 

wanders off to find more coffee...

I’m glad you got your phone back.

I’m curious as to how the carrier was able to trace your phone to a specific person, however. It doesn’t seem like the kind of information they would be able to get by pinging your phone/sim, unless the thief was stupid enough to contact the carrier and provide that information in an attempt to unlock the phone or some other such thing. This has absolutely tweaked the research portion of my brain now, since my carrier wasn’t able to trace my mother’s lost phone because its battery was dead (I wanted gps data on its location).

Just as a side note, I’m one of those exceedingly paranoid people who doesn’t use her phone as a banking link, email hub, or anything much other than as a phone and occasional camera. What happened to you is why, although I’ve never lost my phone, keys, or even an umbrella. Gloves, on the other hand, vanish with alarming regularity...

ok so to answer you @BronxWench, the person who had my phone must have given cricket her name and number because that was the only way i got my phone back. Everyone (including me) thinks she was going to try to get the phone restarted or take the sim card out and put it in a new phone when she couldnt access it.  i couldnt trace my phone cuz it was off. When she  tried to turn it on and off again thinking she could somehow get past my passcode to even access my phone. when my phone boots up, it says cricket right there. She didnt even appologize to me for taking my phone. 

Yea i am now very paranoid now cuz this happened. I happen to use it for work to help stupid customers find what they are looking for at the store (ahh the joy of retail), i dont bank on my phone but i play pokemon go and a couple of my apps that i buy coins from are in my phone. but i am getting them off so incase this happens again.

Well, fortunately the thief was dim enough to give out her real name and number, and it ended well for you. I’m not surprised she didn’t apologize, though. Anyone who’d steal a phone isn’t going to get gold stars for good manners to begin with. But unfortunately, it’s not helping with my plot notion, because I was kind of hoping for dazzling detective work and not self-incrimination by the thief. Ah, well. There’s always “Person of Interest” to stream for inspiration. 

I back up my phone to my desktop monthly, so I don’t lose pictures I might have taken. I also back up my contacts list. That’s really most of what I care about on the phone anyway. As for my mother’s phone, the battery was struggling to hold a charge, and it was one of those inexpensive Jethro phones for seniors, with giant buttons and no ability to use apps. If someone has it, bad cess to them. I’m a believer in karma, and she’s a patient bitch.
