Exactly, so why not get a discount and better pay on top of it? wink


Kids these days only think about money, where is the quality service? *coughs*

We had something at work once, I was talking with the security guard a while ago and someone came in that wanted a new password. That's fine and all but he couldn't identify himself, which basically means we can't help him, since we can't give passports to people that can't even prove they're really who they say they are.

The guy started screaming and yelling at the lady who was trying to help him on the other side of the table, never seen something like that. Apparently our service wasn't good enough. confused

I'm in despair! This money-grubbing, service-deficient world has me in despair!!!!


And now, I die. *pulls out large bottle of sleeping pills and begins struggling with the child-proof cap*

Ok so I watched first episode of Geass R2 last night with Zely.

Here is my initial reaction:

Director: So, how are we going to start off the second season of Code Geass?
Random guy re-stocking towels: How about exactly the same way you started off the first season?
Director: BRILLIANT!!


Seriously...I mean...SERIOUSLY?!

If you've watched it you'll probably get what I mean. If you haven't, there isn't much spoiler in telling you that the layout of the episode is almost minute-by-minute EXACTLY the same as the first episode of the first season.

God, I hope the formulaic stuff stops now.

So, I'm driving home from work this morning, and my Check Engine light comes on. I calll Stream, and he tells me to go to this auto parts store and have them use their diagnostic machine to see what the problem is. I get a little printout and everything. Now, to find a mechanic. The place I want to go to is booked up (they're good, that's why), so I try the Firestone that's nearby.

I hand the guy the slip, and the counter shark tells me that the slip doesn't tell them anything, that they need to run a full diagnostic and it would cost $109.

eek

WTF!? I smell a scam. So i went home because I worked all night and am very tired.

My poor car... crying


What kind of car is it? I know my mom has a problem with hers (Ford Escape I believe) where the check engine light comes on every time it rains. There's something wrong with one of the six values, it backfires or something..but we don't know which one it is yet. She found this out the other day when bringing her car to someone at the university she works at. To replace the boot (I guess that's what they call it), it's five or six bucks or something..so really cheap. But the other things..I forgot the name, but there's six of them..to replace all of those would be over $500, probably more than $600..but to replace just one if they were able to find the thing misfiring, it'd only be $150 or something (this guy is probably cutting a deal with my mom too being they seem to know each other). So, if that's the kind of car you have..it's a defect in all the models. sweatdrop
It's a Toyota Corolla, and it's essentially an emission problem.

It's just getting you back into the series. I mean, it's not like they can just wrap up the cliffhanger from last season in one episode, right? That wouldn't be Geass-like. XD

I liked the first episode, though. Despite paralleling the first season's intro, it had enough, "Wait...what?" differences to keep it entertaining.

Oh, also, before I forget, I got accepted at Pepperdine Law School in southern California. This makes 2/2 and bodes well, in my opinion, for the others! XD

*holds up sign reading "OVERWORKED LIT AND WRITING STUDENT WORKING BORING LIBRARY JOB"*

Still... I think Luna wins xd


Anything dealing with teenagers or retail sucks. I hate people so much. gonk
I'd prefer retail to the library, mostly because I work two areas: ILL and circulation. Circulation is pure "customer" service, for spoiled rotten college students (ugh, private school), bitter old people, and very hurried teachers who don't understand what "We can't do that" means.
At least in retail I'd get paid more and maybe get a discount.


I suppose so..but either way, no matter where you go, you deal with stupid people. *shudders*
Exactly, so why not get a discount and better pay on top of it? wink


Well, I get paid minimum wage and get a discount..so I don't know. For the stuff I do, I don't earn enough money. However, minimum wage is supposed to be going up to $7.15 this summer.
It's not just about minimum wage. It's about how many hours they'll actually let you work too. In which case I'm screwed.

I already get $7.15 per hour, but it's not enough for me to live off of because they won't let me work long enough.
If I could get a damn job in retail downtown, I'd be set, but I never seem to make it in time, and when I do something goes wrong.

Nothing like moving from one end of a very large state to the other, then subsequently finding out that 70% of your neighbors originally hailed from various towns less than 20 miles away from your old one. xd
