The lottery is now at 250 million, buy a ticket then call the interviewer and tell him you don't need his stupid job.

Also tell him that you know he's one of THEM and there's no way you can work for THEM.

I never have before, but then again those were allways manufacturing jobs...

I onceworn a Miller Lite ballcap to manufacturing job intervies before, didn't think about it till the interviewer pointed it out and said that it was a great beer. (got that job).....

anyway while at work last night it dawned on me I better send one out so did it first thing when I got out of work.........

Bad joke x 2 = dumbass

I am great at math.

250 million with 100 million combinations to win.

I'll take this slow for those of you are only good at math, if you spend 100 million dollars to buy every combination you will win 250 million dollars. That's 150 million profit.

Skip the job interview win 150 million dollars.

ChadTower · « **Reply #44 on:** September 14, 2005, 01:42:16 pm »

And after you spend 100 million dollars, you will win 250 million dollars. You will receive ~85 million dollars after taxes.

Invest 100 million return 85 million. Yay.

And then hopefully no one else had the same idea, or just gets lucky. What if 3 people win? rut-roh...

Did you include the gift card to Hooters? That always works...

Any news? Did the correctional facility call back yet?

Dartful Dodger · « **Reply #51 on:** September 16, 2005, 06:44:31 pm »

The 250 million drawing is tonight, he wont know till after 9pm.

So....ummm....'Double D',....how much DID you win in the lottery?

ChadTower · « **Reply #54 on:** September 19, 2005, 09:24:13 pm »

After taxes, he received a lump sum of -$1.

missioncontrol · « **Reply #55 on:** September 20, 2005, 12:09:07 pm »

according to the message under his avatar I'd say he didn't win. otherwise he'd have a quarter or two.

ChadTower · « **Reply #56 on:** September 20, 2005, 12:16:09 pm »

He probably just needs it to scratch off his next lottery ticket.

Dartful Dodger · « **Reply #57 on:** September 20, 2005, 12:26:25 pm »

I've got a job and all the money I need. Besides 250 million would buy me a front seat on the bus to heck.

Although I did just buy 5 tickets from a gas station that's raffling off a Harley for Breast cancer.

250 million = fast road to heck

Harley = slow road to heaven

missioncontrol · « **Reply #58 on:** September 20, 2005, 12:44:45 pm »

but having that much money in heck would certainly impress the politicians and lawyers down there

Stingray · « **Reply #59 on:** September 20, 2005, 12:48:48 pm »

It will sure impress me.

When they die, why do they put politicians and lawyers 8 feet under instead of the usual 6?

missioncontrol · « **Reply #61 on:** September 23, 2005, 01:54:02 pm »

UPDATE

Just got a call from the guy who interviewed me.....

He said he highly recommended me for the position....

He said that the next step ws that I would receive a formal letter offering me the job and everything about the job..........

WOOOO HOOOOOOO

He wanted to know a start date for when I will fill the position........

missioncontrol does the happy dance

Hey Hey!!! Beer time!! Great news for a Friday.

ChadTower · « **Reply #64 on:** September 23, 2005, 01:57:43 pm »

Awesome. Congrats! Hopefully it goes through.

fredster · « **Reply #65 on:** September 23, 2005, 01:58:42 pm »

Make sure you ask for some vacation UP FRONT.

ChadTower · « **Reply #66 on:** September 23, 2005, 02:00:21 pm »

Oh, yes, keep your offer terms and frame them. You will need them later when they forget about things you were promised.

missioncontrol · « **Reply #67 on:** September 23, 2005, 02:01:50 pm »

I'm getting out of manufacturing
do da do da
I can tell my old boss to ---display unending love for my bottom---
all the do da day

Harry Potter · « **Reply #68 on:** September 23, 2005, 02:03:56 pm »

Well done. Now do a Homer and call in sick the first day.

Stingray · « **Reply #69 on:** September 23, 2005, 02:04:25 pm »

Is this a desk job involving a computer? I know that getting a job like that is what started me down the road to superslackerdom.

ChadTower · « **Reply #70 on:** September 23, 2005, 02:05:30 pm »

Don't bother telling your boss to ---fudgesicle--- off. The satisfaction you will get is not worth burning the bridge that allows you to return to your old job if the new place lays you off in 5 weeks.

missioncontrol · « **Reply #71 on:** September 23, 2005, 02:10:00 pm »

no I really wouldn't burn a bridge.......

but I can sing about it.....

Jabba · « **Reply #72 on:** September 23, 2005, 02:38:19 pm »

Congrats MC. Nothing better than starting off new. The world's your oyster

SA-WEET! Right on brother. Congratulations.

missioncontrol · « **Reply #75 on:** September 29, 2005, 11:19:57 am »

The offer letter still isn't here yet

He said he mailed it out Friday and that I should get it Wednesday.

Should I give him a call or wait a few more days?

ChadTower · « **Reply #76 on:** September 29, 2005, 11:20:49 am »

Give him a call. A job isn't something you take the passive approach on.

Stingray · « **Reply #77 on:** September 29, 2005, 11:43:35 am »

I'd call too.

-S

missioncontrol · « **Reply #78 on:** September 29, 2005, 01:20:25 pm »

I just called him...

He too thought I should have gotten it by now, he's checking into it.....

missioncontrol · « **Reply #79 on:** September 30, 2005, 08:37:41 am »

**update**

the package arrived

Fed Ex has some really strange hours here..........
