How do you get a promotion when you're not even working there? o_O
Did they tell you why? |
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.
|
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.
|
I'd love to keep an open mind, Chikara. Won't you retell?
|
You'll have to watch DURARARA to hear that story, Alex ;0

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

Utah is...home of Mormonism right? What else is the state known for?

what. oh wow this new DCC lifted off quickly.
all i know about Utah is that it's right beside my home state-- Quote:

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

In fact I often see jokes here about the "go back to where you came from" thing that it's just unbelievable. |
Australia is way to big to be just desert. We could have do so much with all that land.

i am kind of skittish when it comes to large bodies of water, but i'll be damned if i don't toss myself into the Coral Sea to check out the reefs.
i have always wanted to visit Australia just for that. *^* |

New thread? Whoa, only just noticed.
Too bad i've never even left the US, because most of my folks have. |
I have a good friend who would like nothing more than to leave Australia and live in the US. :X
I keep joking with him that "do it, at least the spiders here won't try to eat you." |
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 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.

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

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.
Stereotype of the day. |

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. |

my spring break from college started today and i have no idea what to do with myself now that i have work-free time. help i'm so bored ughh. |
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]
|
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.
|
Wow you guys get spring break early :o mine wasn't until late April.

the amount of vacation time american students get baffles me
then again universities here give you about 4 months off not counting the mid-term breaks |

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: |

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. |

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.

My Spring Break starts on March 30th, which is a bummer mind you, because it's on the first week of April.

I don't know of many songs about locking the door and letting your imagination go.
|
Pssh, don't take it so bluntly.
It's innocent music, and I love it. It has a positive vibe and I want so bad to take it in ~_~ |
I really don't care if a song is about sex. As long as the lyrics flow nicely, it's all good.

Totally jamming out to Susie Q right now- nope, Stones now, sorry. You gotta love the Stones.
Hey everybody, I'm back! :D low battery, so I won't be on long right now, just wanted to say I'm not dead. |
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. |
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 |
Hmmm I think Good Times, Bad Times might be my favorite Zeppelin song. And I pretty much love anything CCR too.
|
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. |
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. |
>mfw I have no idea who Led Zeppelin is
Spoiler:
|
i've always found zeppelin to be a weird word. maybe because it starts with z.
|
When it comes to Led Zeppelin, the first song of theirs that comes to my mind is Stairway to Heaven.
|
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.

While we're on music from the last century, can we appreciate the beatles for a moment?
|
The Beatles are amazing. Who doesn't love the fab four?
|
...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. |
*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. |
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.
|
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.
|
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? |
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.
|
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. |
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.
|
I enjoy every genre under the sun. I just only like a few songs from a handful of artists, really. I like the hits.
|
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. |
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.
|
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!!

Oops, totally thought I was answering to something else lol
Roots, rock reggae is where it's at kids!! |
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.
|
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 beatles are boring as shit
give me the stones |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_I1-KvamTA They had a property in Jamaica, big place, Peter took it for himself and kick them out of their own place ahahaha. 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} |

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.
|
They're pretty okay.
I like Phil Collins and Huey Lewis and the News, tbh. Different time, though. |
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 Quote:
|
The Beatles are from my home town, but I'm not really a fan tbh.
|
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. |

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) |

Thats a rarity haha. |
imo the true iconic british act are the spice girls

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