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".

Livewire May 30th, 2014 9:31 PM

We could just take the site down and have that Stunfisk BD error up for 24 hrs. 8D

Starry Windy May 30th, 2014 9:33 PM

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)

The Void May 30th, 2014 10:37 PM

or maybe change everyone's usernames to stunkfish and have the admins be overlord stunkfish or something

Hiatus May 30th, 2014 11:24 PM

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. ;_;

lol I'm sure you had a plan, you just never shared it with me :P

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

My roommate is getting fired for not having pants that are the correct length. Yes. That is the reason on the write-up. We work at Taco Bell they just changed their policy which makes us buy the uniforms. He doesn't have money to buy pants, after his bills and garnishment he has literally no money left.

And I'm about to get fired because I requested off time to go spend time with my dad a few states away because he got diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. She called me a liar and told me no. She will be lucky if I don't hit her.

People are ♥♥♥♥in' dumb. People are ♥♥♥♥in' stupid. D:<

Tsutarja May 31st, 2014 5:49 AM

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

Alexander Nicholi May 31st, 2014 7:22 AM

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/

antemortem May 31st, 2014 7:41 AM

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/

Sonata May 31st, 2014 7:45 AM

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.

This is exactly what happens to me.

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.

Alexander Nicholi May 31st, 2014 8:04 AM

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.

You apply for exactly 23 jobs a month?

That's what gets my nerves; people who cut me off without listening to the entire conversation.

I was about to ask the same thing. :P

It could be an OCD habit, though. You never know. ¯\o_°/¯

The man was very passive-aggressive during the whole interview. The problem I had with his sideways insults was that I was already aware and rather conscious about how I presented myself and such. <_>

Yes. For the past three years there's only been 23 places that have been hiring within riding distance of me. The same 23 places. Because nobody wants to work there, but they don't want me to work there apparently.

I feel the exact same, everywhere I apply that says "Help Wanted" I never get the job, they never even reply that they declined it. (except for Pizza Hut, they were nice enough to tell me)

One time, this greek place by my house said that they "had too many potential candidates for employees that they decided not to take anybody." Like. What. Seriously? Was that the best excuse they could come up with?

☆Rei☆ May 31st, 2014 10:30 AM

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.

Raine May 31st, 2014 10:56 AM

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!

Steven May 31st, 2014 11:24 AM

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.)
