Week One: We have no open positions Week Two: Still nothing open. Week Three: We are hiring cashiers & in the gardening center, expect a call from us very soon. Week Four: She can't come to the phone right now, she's doing orientation all day today & tomorrow.
Why didn't they just say PISS OFF a month ago? o.O
GG: Apparently a lot of people didn't realise the titanic was real. Sometimes I feel very disappointed in the human race.
Seriously? Who?
Fools, really...
Something Julio linked on facebook, rather depressing. Basically a bunch of really stupid people posting on twitter how they just realised the titanic was real and not just a movie. I'd link it but there is some swearing so I'd rather not.

GG: My faculty.
You people probably don't know, but I attend the Faculty of Fine arts, and I'm a printmaker. I used to like my faculty but couple of years ago I started to hate it because of a number of reasons. The number of those reasons is still increasing, and I added another one to the list today.
So I've made a plan for my screenprinting classes for this semester: to make a comic strip. I came to print the first page earlier this morning and showed it to my proffesor, and he objected to my idea. His complaints were that it basically didn't belong here because it was more of an applied arts thing and that he didn't know what's the purpose of printing a comic by hand.
Just to let you know, you can do whatever the f#$% you want on this faculty from the third year and on (I'm on 4th). The place isn't like, say, ConceptArt.org, a place where people actually want to learn how to draw and improve their skills. No, this is the kind of art school where 90% of people do weird artsy bulls%^#. Now that I got that out of the way, here are some examples of what kind of prints I've seen people do in my recent memory:
-set of colors almost randomly splattered across the paper -very simple leaf simbols copy-pasted couple of times -borderline pornography in bright, eye-bleeding colours
... and yet there's a problem with the fact that I want to do a comic strip. I've sure crossed the line.
Luckily I've managed to persuade the proffesor and we made an agreement of what I am going to do, which ended up more or less the same thing I wanted to do anyway. Weird.

Hmm... I'll try and find it. Is it a group? Or just some comments?
GG: My brother. 12 and such a little (please do not swear). I could bore you with the stories, but I won't. He has my mother eating out of his hand and he always gets his own way. Not just with small things, everything!

GG: Components were supposed to arrive yesterday morning to assemble product for our new release today. They showed up right as we were all going home instead. So I head in to work early to start doing assembly and bust my butt so I've got things ready when the woman who does Pick & Pack shows up.
And she then spends most of an hour talking with one of the clerks on the floor.
We still got everything out, but we had to make a Post Office run because we didn't get it all done before the mailman showed up, and it was a mad rush, and it all could have been nice and chill if she'd just started working at her assigned time. If she'd actually come in early like she said she was going to, it would have been a cakewalk.

GG: Getting my ears talked off for 3 hours from a guy who hates GW so much it seems to be his only personality point, or otherwise being ignored at the table because I don't fit into any of the groups.
