I've never heard of refill kits...maybe it's more common over there? Or maybe I just don't know enough about printers, haha.

Mr. X June 23rd, 2012 11:58 AM

I haven't seen many of them in stores, although you can find them in most secondary outlet magazines, and with a quick Google search.

Also, I don't live in the UK, if thats what your thinking.

Oryx June 23rd, 2012 12:01 PM

Oh well if they're not in stores then that's why. I don't care enough about printers to bother with finding alternative filling methods online or in magazines.

wait what. Why is your location "London"?

Overlord Drakow June 23rd, 2012 12:13 PM

Because he be trollin' us all.

Oryx June 23rd, 2012 12:19 PM

Maybe he's one of those weird people that update it whenever they visit a new place, so he's in vacation in London. That was my guess :(

Bad economy is bad.

They're having open interviews at KFC today

Wish me luck!

Captain Fabio June 23rd, 2012 12:28 PM

I never understood this whole 'I can't get a job' thing. If you expect to walk into a shop/business and expect to get a job, then you are doing it wrong.

The reason I worked hard in my academic life, is so I can have a great CV and qualifications, so I can get a job easier. There are so many jobs out there, but if you have no qualifications, then you have to look at yourself to blame. Maybe I am just weird like that...

I TRY MY HARDEST

It's weird to change your location to somewhere you're vacationing/visiting because chances are you won't be there for long so you might as well leave the location with where you live.

Oh goodness KFC. Soooo good in China. Dammit.

Well get a job soon...you'll need the money ^^ and you'll love working.

@Captain Hey, at my school they have a form that tells you all the great places you can work at (Gamestop, Gap, Abercrombie and Fitch) and what age they want you to be, and what you have to do to get an interview - it's pretty low-maintenance stuff (like bring in a form and dress nicely) so I thought it wouldn't be that bad to get a retail or service job...

Too bad everything requires you to be 16 or older because by golly I wanna work at Gamestop.

Oryx June 23rd, 2012 12:45 PM

Sometimes currently-in-college students or high school students want minimum wage summer jobs, which are mostly "walk into stores and get a job" kind of things haha. If you're looking for a career yeah obviously get a college degree, but if you want to work over the summer at a water park, college doesn't have much to do with it XD;

Captain Fabio June 23rd, 2012 12:46 PM

Yeh, the age limit you can do nothing about! Which is fair enough. Gamestop is a good type of retail shop, in my opinion. My friend works in a game shop called Gamestation and he loves it. Sure, you get the boring retail side of selling, but you talk to customers who enjoy games, you can recommend and chat and so on, so on, so on; much better than recommending clothes. XD

Yeh, part time jobs, you can walk in, but if you want a stable job where you won't be easily disposed, they look for more. Don't know why I am saying this, I am sure you all know this. XD /didn't mean to patronize.


droomph June 23rd, 2012 12:52 PM

Yeah. Too bad I'm 15. FFFFF I wanted Logic Pro so badly.

Also did you hear that the Rival is actually called Hihihiroshi in Japanese? loljk

Oryx June 23rd, 2012 12:56 PM

Even in high school/college though, connections count for SO MUCH >_o I had a friend that worked at a library and then quit and managed to get the job passed off to someone else in school because they knew each other so she got the job before it even went out on the market.

It's always about who you know...

Captain Fabio June 23rd, 2012 1:00 PM

"It's not what you know, it's who you know."

Which is very true, Toujours. I built up lots of contacts in University, keep in contact with friends in business, who keep me up to date on any events and such. People say "you are using them", but you aren't, I love my friends to bits.


droomph June 23rd, 2012 1:00 PM

Connections ehhhhhhh hook me up brah

That's just unfair.

Also, did you know about the "youth minimum wage"? $4.25/hr for 90 days. Why only 90 days? What is the point of just having 90 days of low wages?

Captain Fabio June 23rd, 2012 1:02 PM

Probation period? Some places are different, but 3 months is normall the probation period to see if they actually like you.


Oryx June 23rd, 2012 1:06 PM

Wait youth minimum wage what?

90 days is obvious though - they want to hire kids for summer jobs and pay them peanuts because they don't have to pay bills or anything and they'll be gone within 3 months.

droomph June 23rd, 2012 1:06 PM

Ahhh that makes sense.

Boom

So enough about jobs before Razor gets all "weathery" about it.

Bacon Um so what are your plans for this summer? I plan on staying on my computer and doing PC. What about you?

Captain Fabio June 23rd, 2012 1:08 PM

Plans for the summer are to carry on working. We are rebuilding computers and testing hardware. Also setting up a new server room, which will be fun... -___-

However, I should be seeing friends every so often.


droomph June 23rd, 2012 1:09 PM

A server room! Interesting...what website/thing? Or is it a hosting service?

Oryx June 23rd, 2012 1:11 PM

The only thing people get 'weathery' about is weather, lol.

At least you're making money Fabio! That's what's important :3

Edit: oh wow that sounds greedy
