follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
I don't need this [chat] right now.

I'm not in H/A.

Hey, send me your job.
I could work retail, promise.
"No, ma'am. There is not, nor was there ever, a Mario game for the 360, I promise. If you'd like I could call my supervisor."
Piece of cake. Minimum wage would be great right about now.
maybe try to parse that sentence a couple of more times for practice and see if you can get it right
I wasn't keeping track, so... oh well.
I just looked this up on Wikipedia.
I can't believe it's been up for twelve years.
There's a difference from debating and the posts that get you infractions.
The job's ok, honestly. It's all in the managers- if your manager cares more about the customer experience than numbers (and mine does) you'll enjoy your job. My manager doesn't have a degree so corporate advancement is unlikely, and he's happy in his position. Ergo he doesn't hammer me with pressure for subscriptions or reserves or anything. As long as I'm delivering quality customer service, and I'm working quickly enough for us to get out around closing time, he's cool. Further, the fact that I'm treated like a human being and not a reservation-farmer, galvanizes me to actually care about the store. It's what separates doing little tasks that improve the store quality overall- from not doing them out of apathy.
It's just, fuck, $7.15 an hour, 13-25 hours a week? I can't do it. I'm an orphan, I don't have a safety net, I need to make more.
I'm just griping as a Texan with ruffled feathers. They're ruffled because a bunch of assholes tarred me and stuck them on me.
Yeah, that whole fuck everything Texas part of te thread was a bit out there, but then again so was the governor talking about succession.
Fantastic.

But if they were talking about Texas and a Republican senator, then that's related at least tangentially to the GOP, right?
It always sucks to leave a good working environment, but yeah, retail is not the doorway to dollars outside of going into commissioned sales types jobs.
Plus even if you get that first job and it sucks, all of the "need phone skills, excel, word, be organized" office jobs of the world are easy springboards to jump to the next phone/excel/word/be organized job where you'll presumably make a bit more money each time.

Oh you're trying to claim that bitching about moderation isn't legal here. That's odd, people do it all the time and I've only ever seen one person get infracted for it a few years ago. Particularly in chat, but also in the threads themselves. Complaining about how Obs isn't banned, how a thread isn't locked when whoever thinks it should be, how a thread did get locked when whoever doesn't think it should have, etc. In H/A the last two would be threadshitting infractions, but that isn't the case in D&D.

No McDermott was being a dick, he admitted that.

Yeah because she doesn't call in, and so they go to her emergency call list to see if I have any information. The last time she had a panic attack or something. The problem is I'm in washington State she's in god damned georgia. I haven't spoken with my mother in like 2 years.

Now I feel bad.
Meh don't, I've made peace with the situation.

True story: I was speeding with this guy down the highway. We're both zooming in and out of car "groups" for a while. Suddenly we pass a cop car hanging out on an overpass. Cop's lights go on. Other guy slows down, I speed up.
He gets pulled over.
What? The south never succeeded seccessfully.
