When I've got another confirmed job, and I've done my exit interview, I'm probably gonna go into the office and just ask to talk to her then. It seems like nobody really knows if anything is going on with me beyond the two people who I've mentioned to that I'm looking. Either way, phone interview on tuesday with Wells Fargo.

It should be pointed out GD, that exactly what you said has been done with other amendments. Although the "stupid parents" bit probably doesn't apply.

Only one person really knows that I'm close to moving jobs. I'm not sending anything, and honestly, don't think that I'd even get an exit interview, given that the managers were supposed to do all sorts of things (including teaching me how to count ****ing money) , but didn't. So it'll just be "I show up, say I've got two weeks left and give the scheduling manager an official notice, then work for two weeks and am still on the schedule for the next week after that while everyone bitches at me."

Simply ask yourself, what is to be gained? Very rarely does slamming the door on your way out accomplish anything positive. If you want to give your two weeks notice, that's great, but leave it at that. Well, I wouldn't be giving it to my store manager, I'd be giving it to the woman who gave me management training at the main office. And it's not really designed as a "well **** you!" letter, more as the written form of an exit interview.

I suppose I should ask this in the next iteration as well, but i'm currently so pissed at my job I just wrote a page long letter to one of the people at the franchise office (basically throwing out what led me to seek other employment and my problems with the establishment). Should I give it to her? or just let it sit (I make explicit that I'm seeking other employment at the current time, but won't terminate until I have a new job).

Maybe if Sawyer sees it it'll be used in Eternity?

Standing in a convenience store where I think Hades used to work. Edit: Yep. It was. And I managed to talk to Hades ex-roommate a bit. He's gonna dig out some photos for me, including a few that are a bit more professional than just "Hah! Camera!".

Oh the innuendo

Well, got a call back from the adult shop. They want a in-person application and then they'll set up an interview.

Crates 2: The quest for padding!

Having never played any of the Warriors Orochi series, how does it compare to Dynasty Warriors (which I confess to a soft-spot for). The biggest difference is that instead of just one character, you've got three in your "party" that you can flip between. Otherwise everything is about the same. They do use the character models of the most recent version of the characters that is out, but I don't think that's a huge deal overall Basic concept is that you take all the warriors games, mash them up into one, and throw it at the player. So Tadakatsu Honda vs Lu Bu is not something unusual. Of course, they actually throw out a token line of "Because of the snake god, time and space got turned into a pile of rubble!" so you're rescuing Yukimura Sanada from Yuan Shu at Tedorigawa.

Warriors Orichi 3 Yes. Seriously. I just get confused at the decision to add Joan of Arc, Achillies, Aya, and Ryu Hyabusa (from Dead or Alive/Ninja Gaiden). Ok, I kind of understand the first two (Warriors:Legend of Troy and Bladestorm: Hundred Years War) but Ninja Gaiden series? THE HECK? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Warriors_Orochi_characters that's a full character list. Omega force is ISNANE

A few years back I was in Wasaga Beach, a new bar was opening by the beach that my cousin told me was for older people, so that way they had a place were they could feel a bit more comfortable since there are a lot of younger people in all the bars there. I said something like "Oh, what like 40? I hardly see many middle aged people around here. I could see someone wanting to bring them in." He said "No, 25." I felt older that day. Honestly? That happens here in Iowa. Mainly because the area I'm in is strictly college town, so anyone over 22 is usually in a position where they're either teachers, or government. Between 22 and about 38 there's a tiny population. It's part of the reason I can't wait to get the heck out of here.

Wouldn't, on one level, that takeover be something that Andrew Ryan achieved? I mean the technicality was ultimately used because Fontaine wasn't playing by objectivist rules. He didn't respect individual rights, and instead lied, cheated, and schemed his way into stealing kids and mob wars for bordellos and booze.

I thought it wasn't that Fontaine was to successful, but more the fact that Fontaine was using his wealth to get smugglers from the surface to work for him.

Indeed no kidding. Born on National Stoners Day. Also Wals? I think that's in the wrong thread.

Had the earliest shift I've worked in probably 2 years. Managed to smash my knuckle so it hurts slightly to use my right pointer finger. Then there's my usual nagging "stress" aches in my leg and back.

I wish you were an engineer with backhaul design experience. I've got to go back to Burlington & Des Moines in a few weeks and I'd love to subcontract THAT out. That is a long drive for me. When you're up here wanna visit? If nothing else just a dinner at Olive Garden somewhere in DSM.

He, when my mom was about my age, she and my dad made their living by selling computers (first retail computer shop in Portland Oregon). And my dad said most of their profit came from upgrading computers from a WHOPPING 16 kb of ram to a PHENOMINALLY FAST 32 kb. Although it may have actually been 8kb to 16kb. Also, officially 27 as of saturday.

Added in a counter monkey position at holiday inn, and am going to go talk to Wells Fargo again as well as a bussing company during the week.

EA is also responsible for SimCity 4, which most people enjoyed overall (although it was 2003 release). Recently they've made a few missteps with updating franchises, but it's not like they don't make good games.

If you didn't like the original, you wouldn't like the updated games. That's the point, they're releasing updated versions of the games to keep cash flowing so they can take chances on other ips

You're forgetting that at least one student in each class would take up the role of singer for the Power Ballad.

Applied to two more jobs. One is through the school and and would net me a class B drivers license (bigger vehicles and commercial driving), although I'm not sure I can get it because right now I'm in a sort of academic limbo with them. The other is to be a counter monkey at an adult store. Hey, I take what I can get so I can quit my current job right quick.

Squeenix, Capcom, Konami, etc. I wish Konami would get off their asses and do another Suikoden. This is Konami... they're scared of earning money (Zone of the Enders for example). Honestly, I think over the next 6ish years the industry is gonna have to shuffle around their business model. A publisher recently gave an editorial on kotaku where he made the point that the reason EA and other companies can take chances on things like Dishonored, Assassins Creed and Mirrors Edge, is because they have a dev studio or two that are pumping out things like Call of Duty. However, the big thing for them is that they're gonna have to scale back the massive budgets that are around, and get tighter controls on their publishers so that the companies can't keep putting things off for more money (like Eternal Darkness 2s development being almost entirely funded by money from Xmen Destiny). At the same time they also need to get more realistic about their schedules. I know one year is a phenomenally short dev cycle, but it's starting to feel like the devs are trying to sell games with unrealistic schedules and by promising the world, when they know they can't provide. That sort of culture needs to be shot and abandoned at the side of the road because all it's doing is creating tension and incomplete products. PR is a big deal too. Companies seem to be attempting to change their business models, but are going about in such a way that they come off like complete ****. The ME3 ending and "Day 1 DLC" is a perfect example, with the ending having been concocted entirely separate from the rest of the story and ignoring the core promises of the franchise. The DLC debacle was entirely avoidable if they'd just said "have it as our gift". Yes, it would have cost a little money in the short term, but would have also built up a better feeling among the fans, and the DLC seems pretty necessary to the plot overall. >.> I need to stop throwing out these business models.
