A giant Stunfisk placed smack dab in the middle of the forums. It would be slightly transparent probably and then there would be littler solid stunfisk floating around the screen. All text is replaced with the word "Stunfisk".
|
We could just take the site down and have that Stunfisk BD error up for 24 hrs. 8D
|
Or maybe... Stunfisk in the avatar or sig? And make everyone literally a Stunfisk user? I think it might work. (Like how we become random Pokémon in 2 years before)
|
or maybe change everyone's usernames to stunkfish and have the admins be overlord stunkfish or something
|
Sorry for being pooper of the party, guys, but whatever happens, I'm definitely not changing my name to Stunfisk or anything related to it. ;_;

Stunfisk is maybe the ugliest Pokemon ever. Go ahead, find uglier Pokemon. Good luck! :)

At least I work in a much friendlier environment where my supervisor is able to work around our schedules should something come up.
Also, you have to buy the uniforms? Complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ if you ask me. |
How does everyone get a job? I mean seriously, I've been trying for a year about now and I guess Illinois just sucks xD
|
Yesterday I went to a job interview in black denim jeans with calves soaked in muddy water; I don't think she even noticed. On my way back I walked on the railroad tracks head on towards a train while the clouds spit, wearing my black denim jacket buttoned up and my Army combat boots and my hair wet from the rain, humming this song in my head. I have never felt better after a job interview than then. *sigh*
Not to mention I got to hang out with the other applicees and even got a free ice cream cone from a manager whose brother was applying. \o/ |
Funny the job that your friend needs to get money because he has none requires him to spend the money he doesn't have to buy the clothes else he can't have the job to get the money he needs to buy the pants for the job he won't have since he can't buy the pants.
What an outrageous catch twenty-two. \o/ |
I've been trying for almost 3 years now to get a job anywhere and I can't. I apply for 23 jobs every month. I send in my application, and then a few days later I take myself there and talk to them about my application, and then I come in a week later to make sure it's all alright, and then I never hear from them again.

Well yesterday was my first day of summer vacation and next thing I know it, I was suppose to go into summer school but they didn't have enough space. That was good and bad day for me.
|
When I went and applied at our local Wendy's, I waited an hour and a half for the GM to take his time having a leisurely conversation with one of his managers, and when I finally got to talk to them he was very aggressive in conversation and insulted my dress on the way in and the way out, also cutting me off mid-sentence on multiple occasions with me already incredibly nervous. He also attempted to dance around the questions and expected completely wrong answers out of me and got frustrated when I didn't answer the way he wanted to. My therapist says that my potential far exceeds anything he'll ever be, and my mother says I was dressed perfect for a fast food job interview, so I ain't worried. They can kiss my ass, 'cause I don't give a damn.

One time I applied for Subway and the manager just said "don't expect to get the job because we have too many workers, look around." and it was only him and like 7 customers, and to this date I've only seen him and one other person work there.
|
I've given up on trying to find jobs in like retail, and customer service places around the area >>;; Tried to apply to Starbucks a couple years ago, but that didn't work out \: At least now there are job opportunities around school, and I'll be heading into co-op in January!
|
Luckily, I don't really need to look for another job too hard. My roommate already has a job lined up as a Chipotle store manager and he's going to hire me as an assistant (at another store.)
|
You are then extremely lucky that you have someone like that who can just give you a job, I have to work hard and even then I don't even get a reply from anyone.

As for school I just finished last week, and I'll be turning 18 in December, but I was hoping to get a summer job because everyone around me that's between 15-17 have a job because the schools around us can help you find one if you're having trouble getting a job, but I was homeschooled so I feel odd out over that. xD Oh well, it's just more of an excuse for me to stay indoors this summer. |
Quote:
Maybe try and not bring up the fact you were homeschooled. |

Also I just came to the stunning revelation that along with the owner of the McDonald's I'm applying at being a giant ♥♥♥♥♥ (one of her managers bestowed this info in casual conversation), but every single one of her assistant managers and her GM are female, say for this one guy who looks and acts incredibly effeminate (I have a hunch he's gay). This is not looking good for me. o_p |

Have you got any other tips? |

I'm not sure what you meant by those examples… I just thought that for some being smooth and socially attractive was easy, as so many other things are a given for me that it seemed sociability was just another trait. :/ |
Quote:
Showing manners and being kind is a good thing. But if you're trying to make it in the job world, you have to learn how to put on a facade of cheerfulness and ease, because the world favors extroverts. |
Quote:
Dress for the job you want., not the job you're applying to. Have a sense of humor and don't talk too much. Stay to the point. :) |

Did you volunteer anywhere? Help a parent out at one of their jobs? Any kind of job is helpful on an application/resume even if it wasn't an official one. Heck, even going around a doing peoples' lawns is good. I put that I worked at my dad's company for a little bit while in high school and that was actually a major reason I got hired. |

Let's say I spent… five years designing an awesome ROM hack and publish it here for it to explode in popularity and become a coveted work of art. I'd actually find it polite for someone to presume such a thing about my work, wouldn't you agree? It tells me that what I'm really doing is paying off, no? Quote:

Quote:
Nope, there isn't really anything to add. Nope again, and I assume that this is the major reason I don't get a job because of no experience. |
Quote:
You don't really get to pick acting how you want on the job until you have a skill. When you're looking at entry-level fast food jobs (and even fresh-out-of-college jobs at times), there's a couple dozen people to replace you if you leave a bad impression on the manager. |

I'm not even convinced that talent is a thing that has a direct influence on people above the age of like 10 anyway. The people that are really good at things are those that put effort into it, it just happens that if you have a spark of initial talent people encourage you so you put in that work earlier - so a few years later when you have 500 hours of drawing experience to your classmate's 50, they say "you're so talented!!!" |

xD I found your 10,000th post, and no I did nothing epic with it either.

I remember when I got a thousand posts it was so special and emotional, and now all I do is cap every 500 and move on. I don't understand what's so special about how many times you've successfully submitted a particular database query on a forum website, really.
|
When I got my first 1,000 a couple weeks ago I was pretty excited. I'll probably be excited until I hit 10,000 posts and then everything will be the same old same old. I hold my post count dear because I feel it shows my contribution to the site; which is also why I feel I need to post a lot more, since I only started up posting two or so months ago.
|
I only judge myself on posts. I like watching the number go up, but I never look at anyone else's - it's weird but I like stats so it works for me!
e: that first sentence means "I judge myself but no one else on posts", not "I judge myself only by the metric of posting". |
For the longest of time I remember being jealous of having one of the lowest post counts on PC, but my activity from last year and this year just flipped that around.
|
I'm still jealous of having a small post count compared to how long I've been around.

I felt the same before 2 and 3k... even at 3k I still felt like I had a tiny post count given that I've been here since January '12, but I feel better now haha. :3c Postcount doesn't mean as much to me now but a higher one is still... comfortable imo lol

i've been in here for 6 years
and only 1k posts wtf this is why trivia and other forums that didn't count post count needed to be enabled sooner It's just a number though. Then again, it's not good to be a number. DON'T LET YOUR POST COUNT BE A NUMBER. edit: Oh my god I did not just kill the thread. :| |
I say let it be. It'd be better to judge someone's activity and ability to contribute, along with their demeanor and a bunch of other things than treat a statistic on their postbit as a means of validation of some sort.
Differently said, I've seen people with massive post counts with no interest in talking to them due to their demeanor/attitude, and certain members who were absolutely amazing without a post to their name. Besides, I feel freer without the status of a number in relation to the same number possessed by other people in the back of my mind day in and day out, but that's likely just me. :p More shortly and frankly put, I'd find people more fit to judge by their avatar than by their postcount, not that that isn't by any means illogical in itself. :^ |

Anyways, enough about post count. I...had a creepy time at the park today... |
Lovely topic title is lovely.

Arago is a pleasant person to be around that has 10k+ posts.

I don't see what's the point of having a huge post count and not interacting with the community because having the huge post count would mean you ARE interacting with the community al;sa;lds;ld
I haven't met that many people like that on the community...okay, there is maybe one person I think of that way, but I'm not going to name them. |
Quote:
Sometimes on PC it feels like there's more judgment for people that even hint at caring about post count than for the "free spirits" who don't. You say anything that means you might know your post count and a ton of people start talking about how silly and dumb it is to care and how quality is better than quantity (as if you can't have many quality posts, especially over time), etc. etc. etc. PC can be predictable. |
help I can't find the button for "topic change"

if something is illogical, doesn't that make it logically illogical. So then the illogical thing would really be a logical thing but also illogical at the same time. Cheese. |

Anyways. How was everyone's day? :3
|
Filled to the brim with Pokecommunity.
|
The entire day I've literally been debating whether to buy Disgaea D2, and The Guided Fate Paradox from the PSN store \: And playing Make It Rain on my iPhone. Such a simple game, but so addicting, and good exercise for your fingers.

Today I went to a flea market that's part rodeo and shopped but didn't buy anything. Then my mother and I went to a tiki bar by a lake and had some Mike's Hard Lemonades and salmon burgers, and now I'm caramelizing onions for portobello burgers tonight. :) |

My day has been really good, aside from my upsetting lunch. I have plans to take an old friend out to Steak 'N' Shake for lunch and then to our private community pool, which is going to be awesome. After I passively invited her she got kind of choppy with her words and had to get off because 'her brother and his friends were being really loud'. Heh ;P EDIT: Wow this DCC is going fast o_O |

I bet I'd like frog legs though. I like lots of weird things, like snails still in the shell cooked Chinese style. |
Oh, that reminds me. Since she had to get off early I hadn't remembered that I wanted to suggest the new place that opened up at Camden Plaza, Sarge's Grill. Way better than Steak 'N' Shake IMO :o

Quote:
Afraid to try frog legs, and I have no idea where he even got those to be honest... |
I went to a park and found out someone was taking pictures of children that wasn't their's
the worst part is is that this person didn't have any children and he was riding the swings and ohhellno.gif |
Portobello burger... is that just mushrooms? /cringe
