Hey, this is the thread to talk about work. Or complain about work. Or whatever.
I don't get paid much at my current job, and I need to start looking for a new one. Unfortunately my coworker is leaving next Friday and I'm feeling really bad about starting to look, even though my boss is super understanding about my needs!

I'm refusing to scan anything non-essential until they fix or replace the damned thing.

Ive been writing fake 200 word articles for the last 2 years of college, I don't know if I can switch gears anymore
Just string five articles together?
At this rate, by mid-2017 you'll be running the place.
the positive upside to this is the telco closet is like
amazing now
and we can eliminate like 3-4 pieces of redundant hardware now that the phone system handles it
so yay
Its for a job at a thinkgeek knockoff, I dont think a report on college clubs will show I can wrote geeky blurbs
I used to work for the actual TG.
...send me the prompt if you want.
Write a pitch for an authentic replica of Alex Trebek's skull. Paperweight, measuring cup, cat toy and more. It's the most versatile skull on the market today. I'll take eight for $800.
i had a job interview today
got home
watched west world
hiring manager called me to say he was gonna be extending offer
hmmm
ohhh
ahh
eee
@Mortal Sky what's your major in/what are you looking to do?
Except last time it was leaving a job I liked with people I loved, but with a company that just laid off a bunch of people and had big organizational changes
For one that was a big pay bump, had a cool boss also, but the work was not as interesting to me - and hasn't been the best for me
Hopefully this one will be a both interesting and pay well?
Gosh I hate that guilty feeling of quitting (potentially) from nice people esp since I've only been there a year and my team and boss are so nice (especially knowing I've not done the best job)
I know not to feel guilty, but is hard for me
Thats the problem, there is no prompt
It literally just says "Send us a 1000 word writing prompt"
Spend 1000 words describing an essay you expect them to write in order to convince you to work for them.
Write about how the fact that ThinkGeek never made good on that April Fool's gag gift of a USS Enterprise ship noise generator and how THEY'RE the real April fools for sleeping on that idea and how this site should totally scoop them on making it a real product and how I will buy one the instant they do.
Biology. Put food on the table and a roof over my head, and preferably in a way that keeps me on my career path of zoology and/or ecology.
Hold off on saying a hard number, unless its super forced. Usually the person that says a number first is the one who has the weaker negotiating stance. Also be a hard ass. You aren't desperate to leave your current job (that they know of).
When they ask for what you make at current position, add 10% on top of that.
I think you might need to have a conversation with them that contains the phrase, "that does not mean what you think it means."
Man it cannot get here fast enough. Not that I haven't enjoyed being back in school. But goddamn am I ready for break.
1) Beer*
2) Arbys
*I know there is GF beer but its shit
I'm 30 minutes away from Arby's but I always hold off on having it until I visit relatives in another state. Makes it that much more worth it.
Back on the subject of jobs, still no luck. The most I've gotten is an initial phone screening but nothing beyond that. It's really hard to make the transition from QA to Project Coordinator when you've been out of a job for five months and no one wants to give you a chance.
Arby's is fucking crushing it on social right now.
The case studies that are going to be generated from it are going to be pretty great read throughs.
That's a genuinely good subject but now I'm suddenly thinking you should take the instructions literally and spend 1000 words creating a writing prompt for a hypothetical other person.
but man, I feel bad for my boss
which is silly because she's super nice and understands I want to work without such a hellish commute
but even then
But it's probably what is about to happen
Is Arby's good? I've never really had a good experience there.
Admittedly it was only a handful of times, in a....not nice part of a not nice part of California.
I haven't been to Arby's in a decade.
Maybe I'll go to Arby's tomorrow.
I hear they have the meats.
Apparently it really depends on who the franchisor is. I can't remember the name, but the company that runs Arby's's New York franchises is terrible, which is why Jon Stewart bashes them all the time, but the Arby's I've been on in Canada have been great. Think I also went to one in Pennsylvania once, and it was also fine.
Who's got two thumbs, 80 extra hours to rack up this month and no soul? This guy!
Then I helped a student figure out a cast for her assignment which was modernizing Hamlet. I may have pushed her to make Prince Hamlet Michael B Jordan and have Ophelia played by John Boyega.
Indris Elba is obviously Ghost King Hamlet.
