    What's that in crappy American dollars?

    I'll gladly be the funny sounding "furrener" if the money's ok.

    Granted would IBM be willing to sign a work visa for a call center worker?

    Well for this particular job you need to speak fluent Finnish, so that might be a problem?

    I am the biggest idiot. I did this to myself. Why? Worked 4pm-1:30am at the theater last night, then 5am to 10 am at Panera this morning, now I'm fresh home from that, showering, grabbing ALL THE ENERGY DRINKS then heading back to the theater for a 11:30 to 8:30 shift.

    Then I die

    I do not miss double shifts with turn-arounds.

    I also do not miss working two jobs and 15 hours of classes.

    Every time I heard a Humanities student bitch about writing anything when I was busy with tech stuff made me want to drop pipe bricks on their heads.

    if you're a humanities student and you don't expect to be doing loads of writing then drop out and go to a tech school or something i mean really

    Haha

    Also, if you are surprised by the amount of reading that you will have to do you are an idiot.

    I just found a job posting for a new school that wants a School Librarian. I am qualified in all regards. My only concern is that it is in Beijing, China. It comes with airfare there and back at the end of the school year, they give a monthly housing stipend in addition to the salary and they do not mention needing to speak Chinese or any other language, but native English speaking is required.

    I am both intrigued and terrified. I've never gone to a country that doesn't speak English.

    I was talking specifically about Humanities students. But yeah.

    Kids.

    Listen to Auntie Sass:

    You have to read in college. But sometimes you can schedule your classes at 2:00 in the afternoon.

    For the web work? Don't think it's been the same thing twice.

    Depends on the job and the client, whether I think an itemized or flat fee works better, and basically how much money I suspect I can get for it total. :) The rate is usually just figured backwards from that.

    So

    My horrible boss, who could be nice at times but created an incredibly hostile and toxic work environment by insulting you to your face, or being nice to you and insulting you behind your back to all of your employees, or insulting you to your face and shit talking you behind your back to all of your co workers and employees, and just kind of played everybody against each other and all that fun stuff, was escorted out of the building recently and won't be coming back.

    I am kind of freaking out because running the store without the boss is going to be a nightmare, but goddamn am I looking forward to not being called a piece of shit for the smallest mistakes/oversights

    It was the strangest thing at the first bar I worked at.

    My managers were twins. Being managers, they liked to drink a lot. Being brothers, they fought with each other a lot.

    When they got into a fight, we just let them go at it until they wore themselves out. Except that one time in the beer closet when they knocked over a whole stack of cases. We had to clean that up and then I was pretty pissed about it.
