You know, it's ok to lie a little on a resume, but starting off with a huge withdrawl from the first bank of lies by calling yourself responsible isn't a good way to go.

I couldn't help but notice that you didn't continue to further your college education. Would you care to elaborate? Also, your work experience shows that your last place of employment, this um... "Tuesday Morning" place, was also your FIRST place of employment after highschool. Do you feel that you have let yourself down, in any manner, for working there now?

I quit to work full time at Hallmark. I don't work at Tuesday Morning anymore, it WAS my first place of employment. It was also my last when I moved back up there, they gave me my old job back because they knew I could whatever was asked of me in timely manner.

At work, I am responsible. It's with my own life and and judgment that I'm not.
I envy those who work. I was a student for 4 years. Now I'm a student for 3 more. All the work, none of the income.
hey, that's funny that your user name is ldraw and you have an animated minifig in your sig and av.

I just got a 10% raise and an extra week of vacation time added to my contract. So, that's nice.
My girlfriend works in retail hell though. So, that's not so nice.

I just troubleshot a networking problem that shut down two floors of a very busy hospital for 4 hours only to find out somebody unplugged the UPS so they could plug in an electric drill.

You claim to be a "self starter". You have been unemployed since June of this year, and you haven't "self started" yourself to employment in over two months. I'm sorry, sir, but we're currently not hiring for the position you are applying for. We'll be sure to call you when a position opens up.

My unit manager gets paid about ten percent less than I do, and I'm the low man on the totem pole, just a correctional officer. That sorry fuck had to go through four years of college, fight his way up the chain of command, and still has $30k worth of student loans to pay off. On top of that, he still has to go in on cell extractions and shakedown inmates like the rest of us peons. I remind him of this on a daily basis, and he hates me for it.
correctional officer, eh? You work with a bunch of sadists and power-tripping god-complex weirdos, then? oh and the criminals too.

That's cool, I'll self start when I got something to do in the morning other than drinking.

This is accurate. I'm graveyard shift, tho, so I deal with less knuckle-dragging CO's, and more of the "Don't bother me, I got some DS to play" kinda guys. Nothing like being paid to have a conversation about D&D 4ed while waiting for someone's bitch to start cutting on himself for the endorphin rush.

Currently, the agency that I work for is on a very sharp downward spiral. Which means I have prepped my resume, updated my portfolio and am bracing for the worst.
This could include a move and a small time of unemployment.
FUCK.
Also, I have my one year review here on Monday. I've had 3 different positions and 3 different bosses in that time. This should be a pretty interesting review. Doesn't look like I'm going to be getting a raise if the company isn't making any money.

I got a call one time congratulating me on getting a position at this company I applied to and interviewed with. I was confused because I had just gotten a letter telling me I was one of their top picks, but they went with someone else. When I told the nice lady, things got strange.
She just stopped, I heard her go through some papers, and then she went "whoops, sorry...wrong person" and just kind of left it hanging. Awkward.
My boss told me I don't do any work and he was sick and tired of it and was going to hire someone to replace me. I burnt my bridge in the most glorious fashion by proving everything I did to the company, some of the clients I helped him keep because of my excellent PR work, and then said "I guess that leaves me no choice but to do this..." and handed him my printed resignation that I printed a day earlier. I wiped the computer clear of all my personal code and research I did on personal time with my own property (not work property) and then gave him all of the compiled binaries he paid me for that I did do on my personal time because I in no way gave him source code ever. I cleaned the computer and stuff a day earlier and sent an email as we were discussing the problem.
The secretary was his niece and she had been pretty bitchy all of a sudden so I'm not sure what the problem was. She basically was going off on how I never did any work and then he got wind of it and had to talk to me about it. Turns out he went out of business a few months ago. I'm sure not related to me because he fucking lied to all his clients, all the time.

Tonight is the first night back at my church job. There was talk before I left about the section leaders getting a raise since they haven't had one in a few years, so maybe I'll be doing a little better. It's good that I have some new books to read during the long services
Since this is an election year, the priest is going to be tailoring his sermons so they are about issues that he deems important. "On the third day God said 'no abortions'. And it was good"
On the same Sunday I begin work with Lyric Opera. They'll be paying me a fair amount to butcher Candide
I almost feel guilty for what little work I do on a nightly basis, but I earn that paycheck when we get the new kids in. They've been taught that the first thing to do when you get to prison is to pick a fight with the biggest guy on the block to gain some respect and credibility. It's funny when they end up curb stomped by one of the inmate heavies, but it's fucking hilarious when the biggest guy is an officer. We have some goddamn beasts as part of our own goon squad. Watching a 160lb kid flailing against a 250lb, 6'6 brute before he's picked and tossed around like a kitten kinda gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling down there.
The worst part is when they decide to flood by breaking their cell sprinklers or clogging their toilets, and then cut themselves on top of it. Did you know that blood will float on top of toilet water, eventually forming blood clot islands among the feces?
I work on weekends, 12 hours a shift, 3 shifts from 7:15pm to 7:15am. I put up with people calling up to order bikes from an ONLINE catalogue and then still not be sure which bike they want. People who have insulin pumps which do all the work for them, but are personally unable to do the simplest task related to it (switch it on.)

In my old WoW guild there was a guy who owned a restaurant.
Or at least he said he did.
There was some hilarious drama when some people decided they didn't believe him.
By now, the crowd around The Muffin Monster has swelled, blocking the entire aisle. All I can see of my potential customer base is their backs as they jostle for a front-row-center view of simulated sewage processing - like it was some girly show at a carnival. I can't stand it any longer and push my way through the crowd in time to see Joe toss a thick-soled lineman's boot into the most impressive rotating cuttlery I've ever seen. Dual steel shafts as big as my leg and hobbed into Tyrannosaur teeth, turn against each other with fluid precision. The teeth catch the the boot and reduce it into the molecular form of shoe as if it had been a warm piece of butter. I'm impressed.
I said, "Joe. Got a two-by-four in there?" In a flash, a four foot piece of lumber became a lumpy grade of sawdust. Someone in the crowd wagered his buddy that The Muffin Monster couldn't eat a brick. Joe, who is by now easing into the unlikely role of master showman, teases the crowd, who shout back at him. In goes the brick and with an awful crunching noise and a shower of red dust, the brick goes the way of cardboard, boot and lumber. The Muffin Monster gives me the impression that it could indeed chew up anything.

It makes me feel bad
but also good
that lie about why they can't work
but I get at least 1 text message a day asking me to work for them, and it's always the same 2 people
so today I'm working instead of doing shit I need to do
UGH I HATE THESE PEOPLE
I didn't feel like I could ask for one this year as I am leaving so soon

I get to work in toys a lot
best job
Back when I was earning my criminal record, I learned that the one place in most stores that have minimal to no cameras is the toy department.
heard being around that subculture for a good while will turn you into a depraved, soulless maniac
I have pressing questions.
It's more masochism than anything else.
I mean shit you don't do you?
Or at least he said he did.
