MAD 2: MADDEN'S MADDENING.

Minarael

If the stars align and one of the two jobs I'm interviewing for tomorrow hires me, we can actually come. Which means I will drag @Vharen along and force him to socialize with actual people and there will be three long-haired hippy freaks there.

I...uh... hate that I ran out of West Wing episodes to watch and real politics is extra depressing lately. 

Oleis

I don't think Las Vegas has enough bleach to handle Vharen. (Just kidding, everyone should come to IronCon!)

I'll cut my hair extra short to compensate.

Periluna

Bored at work. At this point, my job at this store is pretty much gone. No more price changes. I just make sure everything has a price tag and that the prices are correct and then go help out the other departments condense and clean. I hate cleaning for another store that didn't even have the decency to allow the employees that work here transfer to their company.

Phoenecia

Feeling like I wasted a ton of time and money in going to university because I listened to my parents and caved in to their demands when they said they wanted me to be a doctor or some kind of highly paid professional. I don't have exceptional grades, and I'm not a massive overachiever. After graduation, I can't get a job in the field I studied for unless I go to grad school for another two or three years to get a master's degree. Which I can't really afford.

So, I'm stuck trying to get much lower paying jobs just to pay off my student debt. And the parents are complaining about me not getting better jobs. Yeah, screw you guys. I -can't- get a better job because I don't have the degree I need, which I can't really afford. Should have gone to a trade school instead. Or gone to pastry school and started up my own business by now.

I hate feeling trapped.

Fenrir

I rage that every day at work is not like today.

I worked for four hours. I made over two hundred dollars.

I want more than $50 an hour every day, damnit. :<

Haern

Carpal tunnel and my frayed nerves.

@Phoenecia my parents, dad especially, were big on me learning a trade in addition to higher learning stuff. If computer science doesn't pan out, I have screenprinting to fall back onto. That might be worth looking into, maybe? Find some kind of work that is hiring/isn't a higher education-type requirement, but has demand for someone who has worked for years with it. I'd imagine baking falls into that category, as does screen printing and embroidery, or coaching, or any number of things - won't help immediately, but since you're looking for lower paying jobs in the meantime anyway, one where you'll be in demand as you get better might help out more long-term?

Arbre

Guess who's a candidate for electroshock therapy.  I didn't even know they still DID that.

Sarita

I didn't either. That's shocking.

Daskalos

So is this a positive or a negative development?

Ivoln

Next person to make an electrical joke gets zapped.

Xavin

When she told me I didn't know watt to think.

Arbre

...I didn't even get that they were electrical jokes until @Xavin's........

Xavin

Hehe. Ilu @Arbre

Moirean

Do you have insurance to help cover the charges? 

USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST

Sarita

Sorry guys. If I had known I had the power to generate all these puns, I wouldn't have started. I guess we can all agree to pull the plug?

THIS USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST TOO.

Toz

You really should have threatened to ground them instead of ban them.

Meyvitch

Feeling wired. Found out coffee machine coffee cups have lids in break room now. Now my wallet's out of quarters.

Vharen

I have reached my capacitance and am mosfet up with the puns.

Moirean

I LIKE THIS THEAD

Mastema

I spoke to my brother (weird psychology type person) about EST and he said it is viable for depression/anxiety in some cases, but it is a last resort. It gets used in the UK/US/Asia a lot and has very good outcomes. Which honestly was really shocking to hear as I thought it had stopped being used several decades ago. But watt do I know right!

Ezrax

I'm glad to see some solidarity through puns, it's causing some community growth here. The forums have really been static of late.

Jensen

I hate when my fat fingers accidentally click the star to notify me of the maaany electricity puns. Ohm my it was a lot of notifications

Meyvitch

What's a mosfet?

 

Also, Ivoln...should have I used 'bouncing off the walls' instead of wired? XD

Vharen

A MOSFET is a type of transistor! And if you don't know what a transistor is, I recommend that everyone at least reads a basic electricity book.

Meyvitch

I didn't do very well in that class. S-OHM much going over my head! I tried again with the same teacher for programming. I only passed because he got arrested for child porn and sub didn't know where gradebook was.

 

 

On another subject. I want to dress up like Meyvitch for Halloween. Anyone know where to find a good fox mask? I can't find one that'd cover my whole face. Well, except one for $70.

Aryanne

I'm getting really annoyed with my lack of aetolia accessibility at home. Part of it is my own fault for not being all up in my land-lady's business to help me problem-identify. It's definitely the modem, router, internet connection or cables.... Or something completely different that hasn't occurred to me yet? But I have no idea WHICH problem it is, so I don't know how to fix it!

Hrmph. Just annoying! I wanna plaaaaaaay!

Ciarelle

I -may- have fallen asleep on the train home and I -may- have slept through my stop for the first time in years.

Nothing particularly bad happened - I wasn't late for anything and I didn't have anything stolen - but still, embarrassing =/

Periluna

I had been in a great mood for the last few days, but late last night I just had this really bad sinking feeling. Don't know what to do about it.
