How do you get a promotion when you're not even working there? o_O

Did they tell you why?

Chikara March 6th, 2015 7:14 AM

Because I was over qualified for the position I applied for. They basically called me knowing that I would be hired for that at least, but interviewed me for a better job instead.

Sirfetch’d March 6th, 2015 7:20 AM

Oh well congrats on the promotion! I have a job interview this week as well for a local electronics and video games store. My last one went well though so I'm hoping this one will too.

Alexander Nicholi March 6th, 2015 7:23 AM

I'd love to keep an open mind, Chikara. Won't you retell?

Chikara March 6th, 2015 7:47 AM

You'll have to watch DURARARA to hear that story, Alex ;0

Congrats! :D The closest I got to an interview was when I applied for senior prefect at my school and got interviewed by the heads of the school - I got the position but god damn interviews are difficult to handle. Luckily your interviewer liked yours!

Nick March 6th, 2015 11:25 AM

In my interview for my current job, I asked my current manager if he knew where Utah was.

Ooh good luck! I really hope you get it. I got an email back from a potential employer saying they were impressed with my qualifications and to resend my resume in sequential format along with a possible start date aha. So hopefully I'll hear back from them soon and get an interview scheduled.

there are signs in the Salt Lake City airport that detail what to do to ensure you don't die when confronted by a grizzly bear. that means it's not uncommon. that kind of says a lot about Utah doesn't it

We are smaller than you think, but there's still sizable amounts of urban land so you could always focus more on that as opposed to the desert.

The water is the thing you need to enjoy here. In fact many flock over to the watery areas in the summer.

I never really got to sight see in Utah, but I had a layover there and flying over was so beautiful and the view from the airport was incredible too.

Also I had an interview yesterday and the more I think about it the more I really don't know how well I did loooool

I know it goes without saying, but try to not think about it as much. Trust me when I say everyone starts to nitpick at how they did after an interview (hell that happened to me way to many times to count.) There's no real reason to stress yourself over it; if anything, use this as a learning opportunity to not make the same mistakes twice!

Though you won't have any mistakes to learn from as you'll land this job (:

I don't know that I'd ever move to a permanent location outside of the US unless I had secured a job somewhere else. However I would love to live in any state besides Indiana after I get through college. Colorado also has some really pretty mountains.

Alexander Nicholi March 6th, 2015 3:00 PM

A crush of mine from high school moved from Colorado Springs to Provo and was telling me all about how Utah sucked compared to CO. I hold the Springs in a high regard anyway if that's any consolation

I mean she gave me her number after the interview so that could mean something!!! And yeah not really stressing, more like laughing at myself lol

Apparently you'll be an outcast if you value looks in Utah. They really are all about what's inside, or maybe they're okay with being unsightly idk lmao

Most of her complaints revolved around being judged and socially tormented. Which is strange hearing that because she was the dame at our school. go figure

I would think that would be a more prominent thing in country places like Kentucky where half of the population is related by blood.

Did you have a layover in Salt Lake? Was it at night? Holy hell is that city beautiful from the air at night time.

But the actual airport is SO small for an international airport. I was so shocked. Maybe it comes from the fact that I came from Philly, which has a pretty huge one.

I don't have spring break until the 23rd and I'm already at a point in the semester where I want to pull my hair out. @[email protected]

Belldandy March 6th, 2015 9:10 PM

Why do you guys get your spring break so late? In highschool, ours was mid-March, but in university in Canada it's mid-February. Mine was from the 7th-15th of February.

Sirfetch’d March 6th, 2015 9:20 PM

Canada has fall break in universities because of high suicide rates in northern schools. And by "northern", I include uOttawa, although Algonquin College curiously does not have a fall break. They're starting to integrate fall break at the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University, etc. - more south - lately, too.

I honestly didn't believe it was due to suicides until I researched it a bit. Apparently the stress for international and even cross-country students causes a lot of depression and people commit suicide due to the stress and pressure of school + being so far away from "civilization". I don't think Canada is so sparse for accommodations as that, but apparently so if people are committing suicide partly due to the feeling of isolation they get from it.

So we start school here early September, have a fall break in mid-October, and end regular studies by early December. Then there's a three week exam period, two week Christmas break, then school starts back up in early January. "Spring" break is mid-April and studies end early April. Exam period ends by April 30th. May-August is school-free and intended for students to make some money to off-set costs the other eight months of the year :pink_nod: If all your exams are crammed into one week, though, and not spread out over the three-week period, your winter/summer breaks could start really early. My last day of school is April 13th and my last exam is the 22nd, so that's not too bad!

So we get a full month of mid-semester breaks on top of other holidays like Good Friday. Canada has one of the lowest national "paid" holidays totals in the world, though: some places in Europe have upwards of 20 national holidays per year. We have ten I think. We have other holidays, but schools and workplaces aren't closed / aren't required to pay time and a half on those days, so they don't count :pink_no:

She was still in high school, after all.

I should mention there is a stark cultural difference between the military life and local life. The former is a lot more polished and well-rounded, and generally more passive, outgoing, "American," etc. The military high school I went to was the only one I ever knew anyone in who drove fast new cars.

Klamath Falls is in Oregon. I know that since I have been there before. As for Utah, the only things there I can think of besides Salt Lake City are the Great Salt Lake and Bryce Canyon.

maccrash March 7th, 2015 6:39 AM

my spring break is just one week in mid-April (which is pretty much the best week of the school year for me -- it's warm and I don't have to do anything!) but I also get a week off in February and a week and a half-two weeks in December/January for Christmas. then I get late June-early September off for summer. not bad at all.

Kyoe March 7th, 2015 6:32 PM

Totally jamming out to Susie Q right now- nope, Stones now, sorry. You gotta love the Stones.

Pendraflare March 7th, 2015 6:47 PM

Sadly, my semester break ends tomorrow (well, Friday was technically the last day for it). But at least now it's not quite as...well, I had better not say it.

And CCR? Yeah, I know some of their well-known tracks. I think Down on the Corner was my favorite hit of theirs.

Tsutarja March 7th, 2015 8:23 PM

I came to this topic and see CCR mentioned while jamming to Led Zeppelin! :D

Who'll Stop the Rain is a favorite of mine from them, and ironic considering I live in the state where it never stops raining. xD

Livewire March 7th, 2015 9:55 PM

Hmmm I think Good Times, Bad Times might be my favorite Zeppelin song. And I pretty much love anything CCR too.

Kyoe March 7th, 2015 10:59 PM

I don't think I can actually choose a single favorite song from Led Zeppelin... I have their self-titled album on vinyl, and oh man does it sound amazing.

I just want to make sure we don't overlook the Lizard King, Mr. Mojo Risin', Jim Morrison.

Ice March 8th, 2015 12:26 AM

I... I don't like listening to Led Zeppelin...
I've never been the right person for classic rock. There are some great songs there, but I haven't heard a classic rock album on which I enjoyed more than half of the songs.

Foxrally March 8th, 2015 4:38 AM

Judge Mandolore Shepard March 8th, 2015 5:34 AM

When it comes to Led Zeppelin, the first song of theirs that comes to my mind is Stairway to Heaven.

Tsutarja March 8th, 2015 5:50 AM

Going to California is my favorite song from Led Zeppelin. I usually don't have favorites either, but I had to choose that one because I really love the acoustic guitar and the mandolin.

this is also my favorite song of theirs. I've always been partial to "The Song Remains the Same" and the whole Houses of the Holy album, as a matter of fact. really good album to listen to on the first day of summer. never could dig Dire Straits, though, and yeah Jim Morrison is legendary. The Doors' first album is one of the best of the '60s, and "The End" is probably like one of the best songs ever.

Ice March 8th, 2015 7:13 AM

While we're on music from the last century, can we appreciate the beatles for a moment?

Tsutarja March 8th, 2015 7:18 AM

The Beatles are amazing. Who doesn't love the fab four?

Alexander Nicholi March 8th, 2015 8:01 AM

...and that was a wonderful show from the world-famous Dancing Poodles.

Next ladies and gentleman, we have four fine young men from Liverpool.

They're comin', hold on they're comin'! Four thoroughly alright and decent fellows...


yeah, not as big a fan of the Beatles. their music really wasn't as deep as I'd have liked it to be, even in their later career. Just sounded like a collection of hippie anthems, and the hippies had a lot to be disrespected over.

Hikamaru March 8th, 2015 8:07 AM

*looks at Alex's post*

Seems logical.

I'm not much of a Beatles fangirl either. I always found them too old for my taste, and I'm not one who's into "hippie" sounds at all. This probably made it hard for me to enjoy when I had to learn about their music and career for a subject at school.

Ice March 8th, 2015 8:11 AM

I used to be that way when it comes to them, but as my music teacher is a huge beatles fan, I'm starting to learn about them, and their music is unimaginably diverse. There is more to them that their starting phase and their hippie phase.

maccrash March 8th, 2015 8:31 AM

honestly the Beatles are great but I very very very rarely think to myself "YO I NEED TO LISTEN TO THE BEATLES RN...." like they're super important and what have you but I never have a knackering to here "Here Comes the Sun" or whatever. my favorite album of theirs is Magical Mystery Tour which is an unpopular opinion. they're still great, of course.

Universe March 8th, 2015 10:57 AM

my uncle Ringo is actually named after the Beatles. :P

i never get the urge to listen to the Beatles either actually, despite how good their music is.
it's just not the kind of music that i can jam to, because i appreciate it more than i enjoy it. does that make sense?

Ice March 8th, 2015 10:59 AM

I think most people have that. There are a lot of good songs by them, but I only listen to For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite regularly.

Taemin March 8th, 2015 11:01 AM

I don't sit down and listen to them in my free time, but when their songs come on at work, or a radio I'm fine with it. They're pretty catchy.

I think if I would've grown up in their era, I would've really liked them.

Tsutarja March 8th, 2015 11:03 AM

The only Beatles song I'd find myself listening to by will is Let it Be, to be honest. If their other songs come on the radio, I'll listen to them. Other than that, I don't go out of my way much to listen to songs on sites like Grooveshark or YouTube much.

Alexander Nicholi March 8th, 2015 11:06 AM

I enjoy every genre under the sun. I just only like a few songs from a handful of artists, really. I like the hits.

Ice March 8th, 2015 11:07 AM

You should just go on a Beatles binge for a day. Just listen to a lot of their songs. It just shows how much diversity they have outside their radio played material.
That said, I can't even remember the last time I heard a Beatles song on the radio.

maccrash March 8th, 2015 11:12 AM

honestly I'm far more inclined to reach for the Stones or the Who or the Kinks or something than I am the Beatles. not sure why, maybe I've just been totally inundated with shit having to do with them from a young age that I'm subconsciously a bit tired of it. but man "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "A Day in the Life" etc, sometimes those can't be beat.

Herbalist March 8th, 2015 11:13 AM

Yea, Red Robin's is gross. I don't exactly have the same view about it as you guys, because I had to be the one wiping the restaurants ass, I was a dishwasher there. Worse.job.ever!!! But that was a temporary thing, sucked it up for a couple weeks, and now I managed to finance for my security license, so no more dish pits for me!!

Like "I enjoy every genre" as in what some people say when they listen to some dj's and some rockbands, or "I enjoy every genre" as in I like my grindcore hard and my opera vibrated?

Oops, totally thought I was answering to something else lol

Roots, rock reggae is where it's at kids!!

Powerserge March 8th, 2015 11:20 AM

I usually listen to the Beatles when I'm relaxing, or want some background music when I have guests over. My favorite may be Strawberry Fields, and the "Golden Slumbers - Carry That Weight - The End" Medley. It is a shame that many young people these days oftentimes neglect quality music, just because it's older than they are.

Ice March 8th, 2015 11:24 AM

Well, you'd have to make a conscious decision to get into the music of the beatles, whiles radio music gets showed to you automatically. And there is just sooo much music, and the amount of good music just grows so fast.

The logic behind it, you're a musician, I'm a musician, you're caking it hard, I'm shaking it rough, you bought a giant in my country where you spend maybe a couple of weeks in, shits mine now! Kick rocks!!

Peter is the man! {XD}

Nothing worse that the "Beatles are the best" crowd.

They're meh to me. I used to be one of the "Beetles are the best ever" people back in third grade. I like less lyrics and more of a modern feel, if that makes sense, but none of that complete generic mass produced piles of poop on the radio.

Chikara March 8th, 2015 3:36 PM

They're pretty okay.

I like Phil Collins and Huey Lewis and the News, tbh. Different time, though.

Bobbylicious March 8th, 2015 3:44 PM

The Beatles aren't that good IMO. The only song I really like from them is revolution. You've got to hide your love away and let it be are good too.
I understand why they're a big deal but they just don't do anything for me

The Beatles are from my home town, but I'm not really a fan tbh.

Sylphiel March 8th, 2015 3:48 PM

I never heard the Beatles until college. And by then they seemed....mmm, okay I guess. Nothing spectacular compared to music I'd been listening to. :X

Probably too soft for my ultimate liking. I prefer harder music.

AWH YEAH METAL TIME.

who's your favorite metal band? i'm really partial to Otep, Dope, and Scum of the Earth myself.
(guys if you've never heard any of these three before and you hate cursing and/or touchy subject matter do NOT Google their music. |D)

Some of their songs are decent, but I've never really been interested in them haha.

Alexander Nicholi March 8th, 2015 4:36 PM

I've been listening to a lot of Proximity lately, probably out of a lack of interest to find new mix channels like theirs.

I've been sleeping a lot too, and been taking to Pokémon OSTs while I do so.

Hikamaru March 8th, 2015 5:54 PM

Oh god heavy metal is like the genre I absolutely hate... because my mother likes it and she runs stupid Facebook fanclubs dedicated to Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne and well, heavy metal itself.

I always call heavy metal music... nothing but just ear-splitting screaming.

Foxrally March 8th, 2015 6:38 PM

Is it just me or does Sharon Osbourne have this weird grandmother-ish aura that attracts you? Her voice is goddamn mesmerizing for me.
