Now you won't have to feel guilty selling her some insurance discount cards!

[Lunar]

"bolognae".

hah.  Isn't there a couple ways to spell that word anyway?  Bologna, Baloney, any others?  Not sure what they do in Oklahoma, Googling implies a dangling E on Bushie's post, but I misspell crap all the time

[Lunar]

What was the point of lying about never having had a boyfriend before?

As does this, unfortunately:

[Lunar]

I feel like this is a pretty good metaphor for this life path.  Note that the train never actually gets very far.

If your worrying about Wedding expenses,

Yeah, it's like a gambling addict saying "I probably shouldn't have bet my life savings on those five games of craps" rather than saying "I have a problem."

[Lunar]

Check, please.

The waiter will be with you in one moment.  If she's not there in two or three months, please give a shout and we'll make sure to let her know that you're ready for your check.

Is his life starting to remind anyone else of Requiem for a Dream? I know there aren't any drugs in the story (yet) but his life seems to mirror the mom's story-line in particular in many ways. You know, the one who gets that thing in the mail and then gets hooked on diet pills/starves herself because she thinks she's gonna get to be on television even though everyone watching knows it will never be. There's also the relentlessly bleak tone that both of these epics pack as well...

This thread needs more Jennifer Connelly then

If you get a job as a car salesman, take it, but don't quit looking for jobs that match your skill set.  Obviously getting a job at a company where Google doesn't autocomplete the word "scam" for you after typing it into the search engine is a major upgrade, regardless.

The market is bad and I don't know how much you know/care about cars or people to convince people to buy cars they don't want or need.

[Lunar]

@Torie, wait, what?  Really?

[Lunar]

And secondly, even if you are good at "sales," do you have any interest whatsoever in the product that you'll be selling?

Indeed.  While anything, even if they fire you in two weeks, is better than AmeriPlan, when it comes down to sales, it seems to me like you have to either love your product or be manipulative to be able to market it well.

According to what he wrote on FB, he's not even looking to replace Ameriplan.  Getting a real job is something he hopes to do to survive until Ameriplan starts making him enough $ to live off that exclusively....srsly

Srsly?

[Lunar]

Probably not best do a sales job that depends on commission then.

Just to make it clear, bells palsy is usually brought on by lyme disease, or a cold sore. I've been living with it for nearly 4 years now. I spent about 5 months with the left side of my face paralyzed, thus why people think stroke. It is something you can end up living with the rest of your life with, but the face regains muscle strength anywhere from a week, to a few months after you get it. Its not something that will disable you... You just take steroids to try and get the muscles working.

You're a trooper sir.  I grew up in a rural area with a lot of ticks, and it's most certainly a real thang

I went to church this morning too and was filled with the spirit of the Lord and felt his awesome power pound into me! Afterwards, I cuddled in His arms until I went to sleep.

What a coincidence!  I too opened myself up and let Jesus spread His love all over me.

I don't know about you, but he entered me through my mouth and His spirit shot into my throat like a geyser!

Pretty homoerotic fanfic for two allegedly straight guys.  I'm not judging, just noting.

You don't have to be gay to enjoy a little homoerotic humor, Lunar.

Yeah but that's not humor, that's poetry right there, words from a true artist.  Someone who's truly self-aware and just .... talented at putting instincts into words.

Yet, a third one says, HS Seniors & GRADS (non-traditional). Get a great full-time job.  Good pay, full benefits, 30 days vacation/yr, reg. raises.  No exp. needed, will train.  Ages 17-38.

There is a fourth one that say - need 18-25 A.S.A.P. No experience needed.  Must be over 18 years of age and deal with loud music and upbeat environment.

What do you think of these four ads?  Which ones should I go for? which ones should I leave out? which one should I call first?

3rd & 4th, clearly, any ad that tells you the vacation days but not actually what you'll be doing is a FF job

[Lunar]

any ad that thinks it's more important to cite age requirements than what the job activity actually is

[Lunar]

Obviously any job wanted ad where the job, requirements, and basically everything about it is completely indeterminable is a winner.  There are many questions about word choice there.

What kind of job has an upper-limit age cutoff of 25?  Entry-level prostitution?

Modeling.

[Lunar]

Dawg, any ad where the job isn't explained is not a real job.

Someone needs to ask Mikado more questions about his "entry-level prostitution" idea.  Like, why that would occur to him immediately [as opposed to say, porn or modeling], what happens at 26, and at what age "advanced prostitution" happens for him.

[Lunar]

12-18 is entry-level prostitution.

Depends: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNM8gRgs52M

I don't think the prostitution industry has much regard for consent laws.

You can't tell me that that doesn't factor into their calculations though.

I think I'd prefer hard labor to a call center job

Hey I work a call center job. It's not so bad. Though we take only incoming calls granted.

Maybe I'm just equating it to the Dell customer service calls I make to India where the person is forced to ask me questions like "is your computer plugged in?"  Not I look down on such people, they probably have obtained higher educational degrees than me, it just seems frustrating.

I'm not sure what your job is, but I imagine Oklahoma, due to an extremely low cost of living, is probably an ideal place for a generic American call center.  I'm not sure how Minnesota factors into thatt
