Seeing these silly hats makes me desperately want to wear a silly hat the next time I paint, just for the hell of it =P

Hmm. Where's that umbrella hat my sister gave me?


Umbrella hat? Ooh, I think one of my brothers had one once. Maybe I should wear that in to work today and see if anyone notices. xd


You should, utterly. It'd be great.

I've been too busy to apply for jobs. But I may try and work at a local movie rental place. -.- If I don't get a job there or somewhere else in Fort Valley, I'll have to drive an hour to work. And there's only two places hiring there. None really close, and Fort Valley is 20 minutes away. crying

Living in the middle of no where is dull. Which is why I never had a summer job, since it's too much of a hassle to drive an hour for minimum wage. Two hours back and forth, at that.

Well, at least if you work at a movie place, you might get a discount O,o but good luck finding a decent job within a decent range.

I have one up on you and your silly hat experience. I work at a Denny's, for a bit more than minimum wage, but I have to wear an assortment of the most outrageous shirts. I do not like the colors so much. My managers are spawned from satans lower demons as well. Not so fun. The thing is that the job market in Central Missouri is terrible.

Yeah, but I have to put up with all of the twenty-something-year-old guys who come in (particularly the ones with their girlfriends), and think they're so witty when they make comments about the cute little elf. gonk

On the other hand, my boss is all right. I don't always agree with her, but she's pretty nice.

Just out of curiosity, what color are your monstrous shirts?

There are green ones that are not too terrible, and then there are the Atrocious red ones, they look like that color of red that you get when you let children finger paint your kitchen walls. And then there is this yellow color, you don't want to know what that looks like. The occasional worker who has been there for years has a neon blue shirt or a purple one.

If you people don't pipe down, I'm going to thwack you with my newly acquired grammar hammer. gonk

Admittedly, using it to thwack guild members probably wasn't quite what Girl_Omnipotent had in mind, but I'm flexible. whee

I've found none. The only jobs left as for people above the age of 30, who probably won't quit at the end of the summer. But considering they're ALL part time jobs, makes it seem rather pointless to want someone who won't quit. Who wants a permanent part-time job?

There's no way they'll hire you full time and give you a decent pay. x.x

Next week I begin my summer job rolleyes -- my second season as an employee at a Christmas-themed amusement park. I get to wear a peter pan elf hat, listen to low-fidelity Christmas carols, smile at tourists, and be paid $5.15 an hour for the privilege.
I can hardly wait.

Anyone else have a boring summer job to look forward to? Does anyone else have to wear a goofy uniform? Is anyone actually doing anything interesting?

(My job isn't that bad, it's just really, really boring when we're not busy.)


I worked at Six Flags last year..

I was Scooby, albeit, a very SHORT Scooby. I was also Porky, Wile E. Coyote, Foghorn Leghorn, Sylvester, Tweety, Bugs, Lola, Yakko, Wakko, Dot, Taz, Speedy Gonzalez. Both street characters and preforming characters. I was also a performing human on several occassions. I did seamstress work there too...come to think of it, during that season, I did just about everything there is to do in the Entertainment Dept. Tons of strange things happen in the Entertainment Dept. too, which makes it lots of fun. Where else do you get to see Yosamity Sam going down on Grannie?

Thank God I don't work there this year.

Go right ahead, but always remember your capitalization. Grammar Hammer is a proper noun, not a common noun.

Maybe I can pretend that it's merely part of my nefarious plan for world domination. ninja


As long as I can join the plan. I'm good at planning plans about planning plans about plots of planning plans!

You can confuse and befuddle the enemy for me.


That's what I do best!


*jumps up and down exitedly*

Okay, I've got it...the plan. In fact, this plan is so perfect, that from now on, I'm calling it "The Plan"!!
Okay, Phase One of "The Plan": Get a cow. It doesn't have to be my cow, or your cow, or his cow... Just...A Cow!
Phase Two of "The Plan": Get honey!. It doesn't have to be my honey, or your honey, just...Honey!
Phase Three of "The Plan": Cover "The Cow" in "The Honey"!
Phase Four of "The Plan": Get a U-Haul truck...just rent one
Phase Five of "The Plan": Take "The Cow" covered in "The Honey" to "The Woods" in "The U-Haul"!
Phase Six of "The Plan": Wait for a bear.
Phase Seven of "The Plan": Let "The Bear" eat "The Cow" that is covered in "The Honey".
Phase Eight of "The Plan": Capture "The Bear"...It'll be really lethargic after having just eaten a whole cow covered in honey, so it should be pretty easy.
Phase Nine of "The Plan": Put "The Bear" in "The U-Haul"
Phase Ten of "The Plan": Take "The Bear" to "The White House" in "The U-Haul"
Phase Eleven of "The Plan": Leave "The Bear" in "The President's Office"
Phase Twelve of "The Plan": Clean up "The U-Haul"...justt take it to a coin car-wash, clean of the honey and any blood?
Phase Thirteen of "The Plan": Return "The U-Haul" to "The Place We Rented The U-Haul From"
Phase Fourteen of "The Plan": Hide...and watch "The News"

Brilliant. So, agreed. We shall do "The Plan".
