Truth was here

Mar. 7, 2008 | 2:51 PM disingenuous responds:

Fantastic.


Mar. 7, 2008 | 2:51 PM Truth says:

Also,
Its called a recession

Mar. 7, 2008 | 2:54 PM disingenuous responds:

Yeah, tell me about it.

Or don't. I'm pissed enough.


Mar. 7, 2008 | 11:20 PM Mizar says:

I have a good one.

Mar. 7, 2008 | 11:27 PM disingenuous responds:

Is that a statement or an offer?


Mar. 8, 2008 | 12:35 AM DELUCA2400 says:

What kind of job areyou looking for?

Mar. 8, 2008 | 12:37 AM disingenuous responds:

eh... a job in a office, i suppose. i just need a steady 9-5 job with decent pay. then i will give piano lessons on the side.


Mar. 8, 2008 | 12:39 AM DELUCA2400 says:

Sounds like a plan. Why can't you find a job?

Mar. 8, 2008 | 12:42 AM disingenuous responds:

i suppose no one wants to hire me. apparently, young females with a college education just aren't top priority. i guess if worse comes to worse i can just start flashing people.


Mar. 8, 2008 | 12:47 AM DELUCA2400 says:

What did you major in?

Mar. 8, 2008 | 12:49 AM disingenuous responds:

vocal performance with a minor in piano. i could always give lessons, but you never know how business will go. that's why i need something stable until i can get my foot in the door.


Mar. 8, 2008 | 12:52 AM DELUCA2400 says:

That's true. What job do you want. Like your dream job or where do you see yourself 5-10 years from now?

Mar. 8, 2008 | 12:55 AM disingenuous responds:

a rockstar... ? nah, i just want to do something that involves music. i love playing, but i wouldn't necessarily mind teaching. i also love interior design and i was thinking about going back to school for that, but i heard it's just as competitive and very hard to get started.


Mar. 8, 2008 | 1:06 AM DELUCA2400 says:

Yeah I'm going to college next year I'm probably majoring in Computer Science or Engineering and I'm going have a minor in business or English. But yeah you should get some 9-5 job do tutoring on the side and then soon you can open you r own school and then you'll have a franchise and then you'll rule the world. and I just realized it's 1. I hope I'm not keeping you up.

Mar. 8, 2008 | 10:34 AM disingenuous responds:

that's cool. atleast you won't have a problem getting a job. : ) you weren't keeping me up, but i did fall asleep on the couch a short time after i responded to your last comment. ha!


Mar. 8, 2008 | 1:16 AM DELUCA2400 says:

Why don't you have any audio? I meanyou did major in music. That would be cool to have music online. I would if I knew how to read music or play any instrument, but I'm an okay singer.

Mar. 8, 2008 | 10:35 AM disingenuous responds:

i do have audio, but under a different account. ooh! i like to remain anonymous!


Mar. 8, 2008 | 2:32 AM Monocrom says:

Sad to say, but you might be too professional. Most places want to hire dumb-asses so they can pay them less.

Mar. 8, 2008 | 10:37 AM disingenuous responds:

i agree. i mean... there's no chance they didn't like me, right?! that's impossible...


Mar. 9, 2008 | 5:05 AM Monocrom says:

Of couse they liked you.

Problem is, you're not an idiot.

You expect to get hired when the guy in charge realizes you're smarter than he is.... think about it.

Mar. 9, 2008 | 10:03 PM disingenuous responds:

maybe i should go in and act dumb? i can do that for $10/hr.


Mar. 9, 2008 | 8:19 PM Evark says:

I would imagine it has something to do with inappropriate qualifications. I mean, if you're looking for a desk job and you were a vocal performance major with a piano minor, few'll be interested.

Ha ha, the only clever suggestion I can offer is that you should check out a phone sales job. You could tell them that with your vocal performance schooling you have experience in sounding pleasant and thusly would be more successful cold-calling people. : b

Good luck with that.

Mar. 9, 2008 | 10:06 PM disingenuous responds:

well, i have a lot of experience working in offices. plus, i applied to different music stores/schools, also. what's your explanation for that one, huh?!

i was thinking about doing a phone sales job, but i hate those people along with everyone else. if i'm going to do a job where people hate me... i want a REALLY good one.


Mar. 9, 2008 | 9:18 PM Monocrom says:

So..... How much experience DO you have with phone-sex operators, Evark? :P

Mar. 9, 2008 | 11:17 PM disingenuous responds:

yeah, any recommendations?


Mar. 9, 2008 | 10:56 PM DELUCA2400 says:

I hate to say this it, but some people have a supperiority complex. So they feel threatened when smart people want a job it also be because you're cute so if they're men they would think that people think they just hired you because you're cute and if a women interveiw you they're probably just jealous because they are old crones who haven't gotten laid since Lindon B. Johnson was in office. If I had a office I would hire you but I don't my father does though. You would hate Cleveland weather though. Wejust got 2 feet of snow over the weekend. Hope I helped. =D

Mar. 10, 2008 | 11:01 AM disingenuous responds:

yeah, if only i were an unattractive male. i know one will come along eventually, though.

i love snow! now that i live in atlanta i miss it. everyone freaks out if a flake falls and the grocery stores and gas stations are chaotic. it's pretty funny.


Mar. 10, 2008 | 7:36 AM Monocrom says:

If you want a job where you're really hated, become a meter-maid. Or even better, get a job in hospital billing. Those people are the scum of the Earth! If I went out with someone to a nice diner, and we hit it off, and then she told me she was in hospital billing?..... I'd walk out, and then pat myself on the back for not stabbing her with my soup-spoon.

As for more pragmatic advice, just apply to as many places as possible. Blanket the area. You're sure to get a response.

Mar. 10, 2008 | 11:07 AM disingenuous responds:

i would definitely become a meter-maid. i'd move back to philly to do it, though. people there are a riot.

never hospital billing. actually, if i did get a job with hospital billing i'd probably be leaving myself a lot of messages.

i was trying to avoid department stores and restaurants, but i guess i'm going to have to start applying to those places.


Mar. 11, 2008 | 1:58 AM DELUCA2400 says:

Yeah looks like you have to get a crappy department store job or resturaunt. It sucks I work at a grocerie store as a stock boy, but I'm planning on working under my Dad at his imaging company he works for. If I were you I would work at the mall most of my friends work at the local mall and they like it.

Mar. 11, 2008 | 9:12 AM disingenuous responds:

that's the only problem. my son's daycare and the mall are in complete opposite directions. don't i just have an excuse for EVERYTHING?


Mar. 11, 2008 | 2:35 AM Monocrom says:

Look on the bright side, at a Department store; you get to spray really annoying people in the face with the latest designer perfume. >:)

Mar. 11, 2008 | 9:14 AM disingenuous responds:

ooh, juicy couture for me, juicy couture for your EYES!!!


Mar. 13, 2008 | 7:04 AM DELUCA2400 says:

And you can "accidently"
drop something and get a discount.
At least that's what I do.

Mar. 14, 2008 | 10:26 AM disingenuous responds:

ha, smart shopper.


Mar. 14, 2008 | 10:11 AM Evark says:

I tried calling one once but the girls were offering to pay me so I hung up.

Mar. 14, 2008 | 10:26 AM disingenuous responds:

so my number is...


Mar. 14, 2008 | 10:36 AM Evark says:

Not you, silly. Phone sex places. I was RE: Monocrom.

Mar. 14, 2008 | 11:58 AM disingenuous responds:

i know, but you said that they offered to pay you... i thought that was a good sign.


Mar. 16, 2008 | 4:12 AM Monocrom says:

Hey Evark.... You told them you were an NG Mod, didn't you.

Then again, maybe they thought you were BBR. :P


Mar. 16, 2008 | 5:33 PM Evark says:

All the ladies go crazy when I tell them I'm important on the internet.


Mar. 16, 2008 | 7:12 PM Monocrom says:

Internet Mods = Secky.

You'll always have that.... unless Wade de-mods you.

Hint: Don't make fun of his flashlight collection. :D
(Actually it's quite impressive).


Mar. 25, 2008 | 1:45 PM Monocrom says:

How's the job hunt going?

Any good news?

Mar. 25, 2008 | 2:44 PM disingenuous responds:

no. the guy from the temp agency called me back with a job that i had to start right away, but i just happened to have a fever of 104. i couldn't even get up off of the couch. so i assume he moved on to the next person on the list. what a drag. so instead i came back to philly to be a lazy bum and mooch off the folks for a week.

how is everything with you?


Mar. 26, 2008 | 3:15 AM Monocrom says:

I'm good.

It's just weird that all of my buddies in Real Life and on the internet are ill.

But I'm fine..... Get well soon. :)
