minimandy14 - 5-5-2005 at 09:41 PM

put a root on her? whats that mean?

7cut - 5-5-2005 at 11:49 PM

bad job interview questions .....(very old-fashioned):

"where do you see yourself in 10 years time?"
"what can you contribute to the company?"
"what are your hobbies?" (yep, Germans go for that)

minimandy14 - 5-6-2005 at 06:11 AM

That is so gross!

poobs - 5-6-2005 at 06:50 AM

"where do you see yourself in 10 years time?" Why, working for you, of course!

"what can you contribute to the company?" My blood, sweat, and tears and all of my time..

"what are your hobbies?" Working..

Do I get the job?
:duh:

7cut - 5-6-2005 at 07:28 AM

top answers would be:

1.) under you or on top of you
2.) 90/60/90
3.) stripping

You never heard of putting roots on people? Well, it's like a voodoo spell that puts bad luck to a person for the rest of their life. The only way to get rit of it is the person who put it on you has to do a spell to take it away. There are certain techniques that you can do to get rit of it like buying some kind of power and dusting it all around your room or house so the evil spell wont come back. My great aunt was good at it, she was weird. She would do it to her ex-husbands and boyfriends. Some end up killing themselves. It's a thing I wish not to study. It's like witch craft.

BallsDeepRootDown - 5-7-2005 at 06:31 PM

Why don't you go back to BLOWING leaves . At least you got it half right. Maybe you can work your way up and get promoted to blowing cocks.

1.Where do you see yourself in 10 years time...?
Under an overpass giving other homeless hand jobs for swig of their wine
2.What can you contribute to our company?
The introduction of a glory hole and country blumpers inside all men's restrooms.
3. What are your hobbies?
Finding interesting new names for all you gental warts that keep showing up on your penis

oh i hate that one..

poobs - 5-8-2005 at 08:11 AM

I hate the one that goes, "What is your biggest strength?" and "What is your biggest weakness?" because you have to turn your weakness into a strength and..Well..It's just a stupid question..:yes:

minimandy14 - 5-8-2005 at 10:49 AM

I've never been interviewed for a job. . . .. I mean, I freakin' got a job bagging groceries because my sister and i just went in and they were like "ok here's how its done" blah blha blah all that new job crap.

poobs - 5-8-2005 at 10:53 AM

Yeah..Jobs are usually handed to me so it's strange having to actually WORK towards getting a job..I hate it..:mad:

minimandy14 - 5-8-2005 at 02:33 PM

Heh, yea I am going to have to actually try . . . .omg I just realized, as of yesterday, I am now Unemployed. . . . .woa.

Evil - 5-8-2005 at 02:49 PM

I haven't been to work in a long while. I probably won't remember how to make any of the drinks. Crap.

Seb - 5-8-2005 at 05:52 PM

Job hunting sucks ass. I haven't done it in so long I forgot how much of a pain it is. After a month of handing out resumes and talking to people I have had a couple interviews and I know I didn’t get any of the jobs. I had one yesterday for a mechanic position at a really good bike shop. It went pretty well but I was kind of hung over and almost puked in the parking lot before I went in.

[Edited on 9-5-2005 by Seb]

corkey16 - 5-8-2005 at 06:06 PM

Key thing not to do that I have learned is never e-mail your resume or coverletter to a company in which you would like to work cause they never read their emails. I sended almost like 20 of my resumes to companies and then just have to go there myself and when they ask you the question " Have you ever applied here before" and you say yes and that you applied online, they just say oh we never check those.

minimandy14 - 5-8-2005 at 10:06 PM

Amazing. . . I wish I worked at a bike shoppe. . . . . .

7cut - 5-9-2005 at 05:43 AM

urgh...i´ll soon have to apply for jobs and endure job interviews as well..... :(

Noisemonster - 5-9-2005 at 09:33 AM

me too! the first applications go out this week. :wow:

corkey16 - 5-9-2005 at 09:37 AM

Wow. Everyone looking for a job. Is it for the summer?

Noisemonster - 5-9-2005 at 10:00 AM

i need a job from october 1st on. i am looking now to avoid unemployment, and if i should have to move, i need enough time to notice to leave my apartment.

minimandy14 - 5-9-2005 at 01:40 PM

I feel like a hobo. . . . . . ..

poobs - 5-9-2005 at 03:51 PM

I love being unemployed..But I don't love the fact that I have no money..That kinda sucks..

minimandy14 - 5-9-2005 at 09:02 PM

Perhaps you would like to spend Christmas IN THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE!. . . . . I love that movie. . . . A Muppet Christmas Carol. . . . . Oh man it was so funny, I went and saw The Interpreter today with my mom and my sister (it was alright by the way) anyway, we got done seeing the movie and my sister was saying she didn't know what time she worked tomorrow, I was all like "HA! I don't have to work, I'm UNEMPLOYED" . . . . . she was like "I don't understand how thats a good thing" I dunno it was funnier when it happend. . . .. I guess you had to be there.

Really. I hate it, I can't stnad sitting around and doing nothing, I like being busy and having things to do.

minimandy14 - 5-10-2005 at 01:58 PM

Me too. . . I mean. . . sure I've got oodles of school work to do, and friends that I should PROBABLY be hanging out with, but I don't like school work and It could be me but all my friends are being jerks right now. . . . .

envelope - 5-11-2005 at 11:53 AM

I have a job but want a new one. I hate that you have to go into an interview not knowing how much money you are going to make.
they say, "what can you contribute to the company" and I want to say
"it depends... how much are you planning to pay me?"
I work my booty off for 8.24 an hour at a dept store because I know how to talk $. Everyone else starts at $6.75.
But 8.24 sucks. I want to move out but I can't on 8.24. Poop, that is what I say. Poop.
Well good luck to all on their job hunts.

Another bike shop about 15 minutes from my house is hiring and a restaurant downtown need line chefs and dishwashers with no experience so I should have a job soon.

minimandy14 - 5-14-2005 at 08:54 PM

Seb - 5-15-2005 at 09:06 AM

Well, if I dont have a job in a week(been looking for at least a month) its going to be a hang out do nothing summer.

minimandy14 - 5-15-2005 at 08:23 PM

BallsDeepRootDown - 5-16-2005 at 08:19 AM

Seb - 5-17-2005 at 04:50 PM

I have an earls place on campus @ UCSD.
I work at it sometimes. But i like my resturant better. I never was a dishwasher. First did office work, but wanted something with less thinking when I went to college so went to cooks assistant. I do Line prep, grill, pizza prep, deli.... well all of it.
I like cooking, holds art for me. and I'm such a art dork......

happysmilely - 5-17-2005 at 07:44 PM

oh and I forgot to say CONGRATZ

minimandy14 - 5-17-2005 at 08:02 PM

Cool, I hope I get a cool job like that when I move.

Evil - 5-17-2005 at 09:42 PM

High five.

I need another job. I wish I could be a mail...lady.

Jette - 5-18-2005 at 01:05 AM

ooh i dont know how that works in america but my friend once did it and it sucked! she had to get up at 5 in the morning on saturdays which meant no going out on fridays, and you still have to work when it rains and such.. well, she did make shitloads of money though

poobs - 5-18-2005 at 07:35 AM

Work?? When it's raining?? Why.. that's just insanity!!!!!!!!!! :o

Bear - 5-18-2005 at 09:32 AM

The only best job I ever had in my life: singing backup for Silverchair.

Evil - 5-18-2005 at 10:05 AM

Yikes. I'd hate to do that.

poobs - 5-18-2005 at 10:23 AM

I saw a free Silverchair show one time on the Santa Monica Pier..Some dildo spilled beer on my shoes..That's my experience with Silverchair..:mad:

minimandy14 - 5-18-2005 at 07:49 PM

Never heard of them.

Evil - 5-18-2005 at 07:50 PM

Consider yourself lucky.

minimandy14 - 5-18-2005 at 08:44 PM

Ok. Yes for once I am lucky :D
