There is an upside to that, however. I remember looking forward to every visit to K-mart as a kid, because there'd always be a movie or a game or something I wanted that every other store by that point was no longer selling. K-mart was always the place I'd get lucky and find what I was looking for, if I ever did. It was like everybody else already had it but me, and since K-mart never moved things onto or off the shelves, I could still find it there. |

My friend was going to sell some of his "unwanted" stuff from his Star Trek collection and was considering sells and someone doesn't pay the bill. Does that buyer get in trouble for not purchasing it? Of course he would wait until he got the money to ship it out. |

Here's something I have to complain about - Deviantart has lately been banning or suspending people who I am friends with for either doing mature RP's or for some unknown reason, yet I've seen Neo Nazi's and rule breakers that have been on DA for years..... am I the only one who thinks the DA admins are doing a terrible job and need a good kick in the fucking ass?. Sorry for the usage of profanity but this is something that has really got to me.....

I went to the dentist yesterday and got the teeth on either side of my two front teeth bonded and polished and they look great. I also gave the dentist a bite impression for my denture partials. The dentist is going to have this partial ready for me in a week. The problem: I was scheduled to have my two front teeth, which are both damaged(one on the outside and one on the inside), extracted. The numbing agent(novacaine) didn't work well on either teeth and as a result when the dentist tried extracting them I felt severe pain which I can only describe as a person jamming a screwdriver into my gums. The dentist told me I should only be feeling pressure and not any kind of stabbing pain. She believes because both of these teeth are infected the novacaine didn't work well at numbing them out. I am now on an antibiotic called "amoxyicillin" for a week. I go back to the dentist next week so the dentist can try again to remove these two teeth. If these teeth can't be numbed out properly I may have consider an alternate dentist and general anesthesia...which would likely cost me an additional $1000. I'll have to pay this if my personal dentist isn't successful because I am not going to spend this entire year looking like a hyena every time I smile.

I've managed to find a X-Plus Giant Legion Soldier figure (A picture of it: http://www.clubtokyo.org/images/figures/xplus/xplus-figure-legsoldgiant.jpg ) for a decent price on ebay.

It's a nice enough looking figure, Matthew but for me there are still many figures I'd want to buy before that one.

Well, I got a spot of sunshine in my dark tunnel Friday. Earlier last week, I posted my resume at both Career builders and Piedmont Help Wanted.com, mostly because I am at my wit's end trying to apply to small places around here (which, you'd think would be the first place to look; you know, start small and stuff?). Friday, I received an e-mail from AFLAC insurance saying that they think I would be "a good fit for their team," and to schedule an interview for the following week. Totally out of left field for me. The only thing that comes close to making sense is the fact that they didn't give a job description; for all I know I could be making coffee or cleaning offices (which at this point, I would gladly accept). The fact that my resume is rather plain, and has no professional qualifications other than "oil-changer" and "good customer-relations/communication skills" on it just kind of makes me wonder why they would choose to interview me. And from my interview, I'm going straight to Aldi's for a "hiring event" to see what they have available there. So, while I'm quite nervous about the upcoming events of the week, I'm also quite happy with myself at the progress I've made in just a few short days. |

McCoy I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but with insurance companies they'll usually hire you but there's a catch you have to pay money to get licensed to sell insurance and once you do that you'll have to make a certain amount of sales in order to keep your job. At least that's how Michigan is; my friend's fiance got offered a job doing that recently which she took then they wanted her to do classes and pay $250 to get certified to do it. You can make some decent money doing it but as I mentioned the bad thing is they want you to get licensed first which usually means paying money. My suggestion would be to keep on doing what your doing apply at small places (gas stations, restuarants, grocery stores and retail shops) but once you get a job take some courses at a college because if you want to move up the ladder you're going to need some sort of formal education past high school. Hell most places are getting to the point that if you don't have any education past high school you're not going to get in. |

Speaking on job applications I have had an online application active with Home Depot for several years and for about a half dozen different hourly store positions. I got a call back from the HD staffing center here in Atlanta this past Sunday AM and called them with my confirmation number. They called me because they were interested in interviewing me for a sales associate position...but the position is seasonal and lasts no longer than ninety days. I got a call from HD last year about a seasonal position as well but politely declined an offer to interview for that job. The rep I spoke to on the phone who worked at the HD staffing center sounded like a robot reading off an index card. He did concede that while a handful of seasonal hires are retained regular full time or regular part time, most aren't. I asked this rep at HD how a person with eighteen years experience in gardening and maintenance/ installation landscaping could improve my chances of being hired by Home Depot which, I'm thinking, would benefit from hiring individuals with lots of experience in their respective trades. He couldn't(or wouldn't) offer any kind of reply. I've actually emailed both the corporate offices for Home Depot and Lowes and inquired as to how I can get hired. I have openly expressed my desire to work in for either as I'm ready to depart the landscaping industry. Their response: apply online at our websites or for any listed job openings posted. In three years HD has called me only twice about a temporary, 90 day position. Lowes has declined two online applications I submitted for commercial sales associates. I haven't seen them post ANY sales associates positions at any Atlanta stores in the past two years. I visited a Lowes store this past summer and personally spoke to the manager who said all the hiring is done through online applications and that Lowes tends to hire most of their new employees in January. To date his month I've seen three(3) store associate positions listed at Lowes' website all for one store and ALL temporary, seasonal 90 day positions. Apparently both Lowes and Home Depot have all the qualified and quality full time employees they need and are now only hiring workers willing to settle for a job that lasts 90 days. This must be the new normal and new economy that has emerged under the incompetent, idiot president we have. In some ways I blame Barack Obama for my struggles to find full time employment. I visit Lowes and Home Depot stores each several times a year and witness mostly lackadaisical and unmotivated employees but can't get either of these companies to give me any time of day. Those of you unemployed and seeking gainful employment, be it full time or part time should resign yourselves to the fact that you will likely still be looking for work when our idiot president leaves office - Obama will leave office with a lifetime $150,000/year pension, full time, taxpayer funded secret service protection, an easy life speaking at high schools and colleges for $10,000 per fifteen minute speech while working and non working Americans struggle to make ends meet with a crippled economy, companies who use only temp workers to save money(because of the economy) and a national debt that will likely cut social security benefits by a third(or more) for those who will be retiring in 15-20 years. |

I have a gut feeling that this semester will be a major bitch. I have 5 classes like last semester (Fall '12), but these are going to be a lot harder. I have 3 in-class Biology classes, a Psychology class, and a 4th Biology class online. I have a feeling that will get behind because work has me working to death. It doesn't help that Ill have piles of homework, compared to last semester. Last semester wasn't too hard because i had a bunch of history classes and that's what I'm good at. FYI, I may not be very active for the next month or so. I may stop in for a few posts, don't expect any "posting rampages" for a while. |

So we had this secret santa thing at work last month, and one of my coworkers got me Godzilla Legends #1 and issues 2-5 of Godzilla Ongoing. It was an awesome gift, even though she probably never realized that issue #1 was from a different series. Anyway, the last issue from Ongoing that I have has an advertisement for the new MLP:FIM comic on the back. It's just a startling juxtaposition when you have the book open and lying on its pages: on one side you have Godzilla ripping into Mechagodzilla, on the other you have a silhouette of Rainbow Dash against a pink background.

My work is REALLY pissing me off I keep getting thrown on truck and other areas that aren't what I'm paid to do. Normally I wouldn't mind helping out but the problem is these other areas I get moved to get paid more than me 20 cents more and it happens usually every day I work. So tomorrow I'm telling my bosses either start paying me 20 cents more when I get moved there or I'm not doing it. I'm done getting fucked over by that place so either compensate me for doing it or find someone else to do it. |
