Spend all day looking at pRon- you won't get fired for doing it at work now.

If I could do it all again I reckon I would become an astronaut. Yeah, astronauts get all the hot chicks.

Of course NASA would probably expect punctuality, so perhaps holding a sign on a corner would better suit you as Mission suggests.

Maybe something along the lines of "will dance for food".

paigeoliver · « **Reply #5 on:** January 03, 2006, 02:29:43 am »

Well, you are probably going to have to switch gears now regardless, as it is darn near impossible to get a retail job in January.

Since you obviously have a tardiness problem then I would suggest looking for a job where that won't be as much of an issue.

i came in late for like the 100th lol and i got fired from (best buy) been workin for like 2 years. o well now im just tryin to figure out what to do.

I'd go back to Best Buy and buy a friggen ALARM CLOCK and get your ass to work on time. I'd also assess what you wanna do with your life since Best Buy doesn't even think you're employee material.

On the plus side, McD's SOMEWHERE near you is hiring (don't know how I know that, but I have a feeling) for about the same money. Although if you can't escape getting fired from McD's, you pretty much suck at life. Make sure you show up on time to McD's. It IS possible to get fired from there.

how bout a combination of both our ideas......

hold up a sign saying

"will look at uranus for food"

It's never a good sign when your doctor gasps and says "that's the most gruesome thing I've ever seen in all my years of practice" when you drop your pants. Mrs Bones told me about the pointing and laughing he did at you too. Lucky for you, she hadn't heard about me and left you yet. I don't think anyone coulda survived the humiliation you went through, but then again, I think you're a "special" case

paigeoliver · « **Reply #11 on:** January 03, 2006, 05:04:43 am »

Actually, taking a wild guess and saying that he fits the BYOAC demographic of "white guy***" and going by the information given that says he worked at Best Buy for over 2 years, that would most probably make him a white guy over 20, which would make it near impossible for him to land a job at McDonalds.

Really, he could try, but he wouldn't get the job.

*** I can count the number of BYOAC people and arcade collectors in general I have met, seen and interacted with who were not "white guys" on one hand, and all of those were "Asian guys". Try going to superauctions sometime, only time I have ever seen more white people in one place was waiting in line for the ski lift.

It was easier than trying to explain it later. That, and stuff just isn't funny when it's something that "you had to be there" to get the joke.

I saw the photos. They were right to laugh. Not as hard as Mrs Bones described to me, but I guess it's one of those things where you can't stop once you get started and everything reminds you of that and sends you into new rounds of laughter.

Now that I think about it, when I was at Lechmere's as a teen (old dept store now defunct), dude asked me if he could help me find anything. I told him I wanted the phone number of the girl behind register 4 and he gave it to me.

It's funny, 'up here' we have Future Shop and Best Buy, right across the street from each other, and in fact one owned by the other (BB bought FS).

Now what's funny is that at FS, even though the stock is almost identical and prices ARE identical (they both have that price match thingy), the shopping experience is actually WORSE than BB!
