Well...

There's the fact that he's going to a WWE event.

Or the fact that he's from West Virginia

Or the fact the he has no taste in delicious foods.

I believe these are all culminating factors that serve to answer the question.

Khavall · January 2009

So I had a pit meeting today.

And the MD asked me to learn to play and see about bringing a Banjo for a performance next month. Well luckily my Dad has 3, one of which I'll be borrowing for a performance, one that is "The worst banjo I'll ever play" according to him that I'll be learning on.

I'm looking forwards to it.

Though I'm feeling really hickish sitting in Central PA learning how to play Banjo

Moriveth · January 2009

So I found out how much I'll be getting for unemployment!

Whee, it's enough to cover bills/rent until I find another job, yay!

Cilla Black · January 2009

Unemployment is pretty shitty in this state. Half your weekly pay up to 326 a week. Enough so that you get to drain your savings slowly instead of all at once to pay bills.

But I suppose the point is to assist you in living while you search for employment, not to keep you totally afloat, or no one would do anything.

Walrus · January 2009

So I graduated back in June last year and despite having a fucking unbelievably good degree I have not got any decent job offers. To keep myself occupied I got a job in a supermarket but it is shit and I want to quit but I don't know if I'm just being a lazy dick about it and so am dithering over my decsion. Shit sucks.

BusterK · January 2009

And it looks like Circuit City is closing for good
I'm glad I got out of that shit hole when I did
And got my back pay before they went bankrupt

Javen · January 2009

My lawyer and I went through the final paperwork for the business sale.

If all goes well I'll be getting a bulk payment instead of installments.

Cilla Black · January 2009

I've actually enjoyed my job at circuit city. It was by no means a permanent career choice, but the job itself is far from the worst of retail jobs. Wal-mart was a hell of a lot worse. Gunna be sad to leave a lot of the co-workers behind too. Some good people there.

BusterK · January 2009

I'm sad for the people at the Santa Barbara store I used to work at
Those were good people and the store consistently made money

But everyone at the Culver City store can go to Hell

Bogey · January 2009

I'm hoping to go to the liquidation sales this weekend.

Javen · January 2009

There's a nice Sony sound system I've been meaning to get once I had the money.

BusterK · January 2009

I'm going to the one on 3rd street tomorrow
Though I do know at least one person who lives there so I hope I don't run into them

You should probably do it soon. We had people parked on the grass today, it was worse than Black Friday.

And despite what the banners say, only cords and shit are 30% off. The minimum is 10%, and most everything important will be that low. I'd recommend making friends with the person at the register though. We had several employees today making price adjustments for like 50% and 70% when they were supposed to be 10%. Management hates the liquidator, who wasn't even in the store, so nothing happened to them.

Javen · January 2009

Yeah I love that all savings are at the discretion of the liquidator, which means you can haggle like a beast.

Time to pay 200 dollars for a 500 dollar sound system.

Faricazy · January 2009

javen are you going to be rich?

dibs on a mansion room

sarukun · January 2009

I finally got paid

turns out the turdfaces put the check in my desk

and never told me about it

and put it in the drawer that I never open ever.

Awesome, retards.

Cilla Black · January 2009

You're going to be waiting for a while to haggle. For the first week or two everything is going to be a set percent as they try to squeeze every cent. Only near the end for all the crappy stuff will they be willing to haggle.

Also it's important to note that the 4 liquidation companies only bought our merchandise. So don't go in expecting to buy light fixtures or cash registers or shelves if anyone wants that sort of thing.

But if you want PC games get your butt over there soon as possible. Circuit City has always had ridiculous hidden markdowns of PC games older than 6 or so months. I bought my Guild Wars Nightfall collector's edition for 15 dollars. They'll only be getting cheaper too.

BusterK · January 2009

I hate haggling
On both sides

More popular stores aren't going to have anything with great pricing. but if you go hunting you might find something awesome. Don't trust a pricetag, ask a free associate to check the price for you. It will probably be cheaper. They only ever do it for PC games though, you won't see many markdowns beyond the 10% in the console section.

You're also looking for the less popular titles. Shit like guild wars or the witcher. Stuff that isn't widly known. Also collector's editions. My store has had one of Dark Messiah of Might and Magic now for maybe 2 years? It's down to like 20 bucks but I could never convince myself to spend extra money for a game I wasn't terribly interested in.

Defender · January 2009

I wonder if they sell 360s cheap. I would like to get one just for a few titles, but since I already have a PS3, it's really not worth full price.

sarukun · January 2009

Even 10% might not be terrible. There's a lot of console games I'd like to pick up that pretty much never drop in price ever, so if I could get 10% off on them it'd be better than nothing.

Cilla Black · January 2009

Well for consoles you have to keep in mind a lot of stores are going to have shitty stock because they sold out during christmas and never got any replacements. You might find a decently priced 360 though.

sarukun · January 2009

doesn't hurt to check it out

BusterK · January 2009

I just want to get a new monitor
And the cheapest possible

Man if you can find a good deal on a Samsung Touch of Color, take that shit. Holy shit that's an amazing monitor.

Moriveth · January 2009

Man I want to go to liquidation sales

Oh well, though

I'm just happy to know that I'll be able to survive!

Vann Diras · January 2009

I wish my circuit city hadn't closed years ago

the nearest one isn't really what you might call "near"

Can you reapply for unemployment if you've been rejected and its still the same period of unemployment?

If so, after how long?

I find out next week who else gets to keep theirs. It's entirely possible I may be the only man left in my team.

I need some dramatic music and a flowing banner behind me right about now.

Highfive stale.

Still employed highfive.

I just realized I never received your pepper jelly.

Or the PM about your hamburgers.

What? We paid you. Oh, sure, you claim that you didn't get your check, but we gave it to you. What do you mean, you don't usually look in the garbage bin out back in a trashbag full of shredded office paper for your check? That's where official policy dictates we put it.

How about Conservation Scientist? Although, I assume the smoking weed thing is not going to be included in the listed duties.
