Checking In/Checking Out Version 1.0

[RBP]

:slap:

I'm not drunk [-(

ok, Arthur. :lol:

[MrsM]

atta girl MrsM, gotta blow the cobwebs out once in a while.

Cobwebs - is that was that was :)

[Pony]

Awesome, I was leaning toward TD anyways. Now, I just have to shuffle around some cash I don't really have to spend....:meh: I would wait but I've been keeping an eye out for months and it doesn't appear that the prices are gonna go down in the next 2 months, don't wanna miss the deal.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

The only thing with Amazon is buying from Amazon. I am less comfortable with their vendor network, but if it's directly from Amazon they are awesome too.

All my big ticket stuff I got from Amazon was from them...I wouldn't buy anything major there from their vendor network.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Off for a bit, some errands to run :bye:

[MrsM]

bye Lance

[RBP]

[Jezter]

Hi Jez - how's things today?

Hey hey! They be good, thank you for asking! Preparing for going back to the grind tomorrow. My holiday is over. *snifflez* But it's alright, I had fun and enjoyed my time.
How are you feeling today?

[MrsM]

I posted in the i'm hungover thread - nuff said :)

[Jezter]

Hahaha! Poor girl... :empathy: Feel better!
Maybe you need to get a protein shake? ;)

[MrsM]

I need something - although as time goes by - I'm feeling better

[Jezter]

But it was worth it, right? You had a good time out?

[MrsM]

Oh yes - it's been a while since I got together with the girls. We had a good time getting caught up and general chit chat.

BTW - I was still teased about selling my panties like 17 yrs ago :)

[Jezter]

See? That is the kind of good stuff we all need sometimes! It is one good memory and it is fantastic to have memories like that to share with your friends. Makes one feel good when reminiscing about the fun and crazy times.

Good stuff mr hal

Strange since they go to the gym 5 times a week

[Pony]

It's worth a call to have someone check inventory if you really want it.

Too late. Saw a deal had popped up at Officemax and ran up there, The sales guy looked at me like I was nuts when I told him I wanted a 17" corei3 laptop for $529. Then he looked on the website and back in the storeroom and sold me one. Turns out they weren't even aware they had them yet.

Sounds like a smokin deal! Good work! :tup:

[Pony]

I'm gonna write something up in tech talk about the whole fiasco. :mrgreen:

[minz]

I read too much on the internet :( I must stay off the NHS websites and just wait for the Doc's verdict. :meh:

[Godfather]

My mom got a letter in the mail today.... jury duty

See.. the thing about my mom is.. jury duty is her thing. She has now been summonsed ELEVEN (11) times. She has served four of them.

How the fuck is this stuff random if she has been summonsed 11 times in a country with millions of registered voters!?! She's 50 and has been voting since she was 19. She has never, ever met anyone with anywhere close to as many. I want her to write a bit about it and send it to the news or something. It's all very, very strange

Thankfully she can get out of this one. It's criminal and is expected to last 10-12 months. She and my dad already have tickets for a trip to Hawaii and she's a private medical contractor who wouldn't get paid on jury duty, so she'll be excused for both reasons.

[Southern Belle]

anybody here?

[Softdreamer]

not me...

[Pony]

Me either. Sitting on the couch watching tv.

I'm about to check out of here, and take a shower, and pack.

Hey Jez, I am good thanks... you? I read you were on break?

That is good to hear! Im good too, thanks. Just got home from classes and having a coffee.
Yea, I had "ski-holiday" for one week last week.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

howdy Lala... how's the hangover?

Bad :lol:

Mine's right today :-k


How are you guys?

Tired and hungover :huh:

[Jezter]

Hung over, AGAIN!?

[RBP]

Poor lala :empathy:

You went skiing Jez? Nice. I always thought going skiing/snowboarding was expensive.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Mine's right today :-k


I am showing eastern time today. :wtf:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I am showing eastern time today. :wtf:

All times are GMT -7. The time now is 07:11 AM.

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 09:15 AM.

[Jezter]

Poor lala :empathy:

You went skiing Jez? Nice. I always thought going skiing/snowboarding was expensive.
Dude...how can it be expensive when there is nothing else, but tons and tons and tons of snow everywhere!? :lol:
I didn't go skiing, cuz I don't own a pair and I don't really like it... I watched it on TV tho cuz ther FIS World Championships were on.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Poor lala :empathy:

It's freaking expensive here :wha:

[RBP]

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 09:15 AM.

So I changed it to GMT -7 (your time zone) and it says this:

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 08:20 AM. (which is the correct time)

[RBP]

That's what I'm sayin!

How can that be!? There's snow all around and plenty of room to ski and snowboard.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

This is just lift ticket prices, nothing else included

http://i.imgur.com/mB6cc.jpg

[Jezter]

Why do you go there!? There's perfectly good snow out there everywhere...besides, cross-country skiing should be done out in the nature anyway to enjoy it more. Going around the ski-stadium like lemmings is not quite it. Bumping to other fuckers and trying to avoid lawsuits cuz "you bumped into me and now Im hurt so bad!". And in Colorado's case, Im pretty sure there are plenty of hills and such to go do some snowboarding. Ofocurse, half-pipe and such needs special circumstances where the ski centers are pretty much the only option...

[MrsM]

Hi All - Just got to work - so I'll be in and out

If you go downhill skiing in the backcountry, more than half your day will be spent hiking your ass up to the top so you can make a run ;)

That is part of it. Besides, a little exercise is never harmful...

Hi Guys :wave:

Exercise is a good thing....hiking up the side of a mountain at 3300m in elevation in knee deep snow is another :P

Hi RBP - how are things today?

Well yea if you want to go all the way that high. Downhill skiing is different from normal cross-country tho and I was thinking more of the traditional skiing than that downhill stuff. Cuz when you do cross-country, you can make it much more fun by packing your backpack full of picnic stuff and you can take breaks to just enjoy the weather and scenery.
I like the idea of that all, but I just really have never learned to ski that well it would be enjoyable for me. Maybe I just need a good pair of skis and some training with that to learn to like it more.

My friend is taking a course for his job, he works for the Cub Scouts organization up here.They're sending him to a place near Albuquerque, New Mexico.

We're booking his flights down there and we notice that almost every damn flight goes through Denver.Then we looked at a map and realized that New Mexico is right beneath Colorado :lol: :oops: :oops: We had no idea...

YODA! :bounce:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I feel like crap still :wha:

[Godfather]

so dude did you call to find out the salary and bennies?

Yeah... no benefits at all for his employees (which is strange given I know a lot of similar agencies that have full packages) He said he would email me the salary info :wha: I don't know why he wouldn't just tell me.

I said "...I was also wondering what the entry level salary was at your firm, and where I would fit in that."

And he goes: "Well it's entry level ok.".... "I can email you the information if you want"


What a dick. So I said yes please, email me that information. That was on Saturday. It's now mid-day Monday and he wanted my decision by today... I still haven't got the email.

Without benefits I have to account that as roughly 25% of my salary (as my Dad the banker says). So it's going to have to be a bit more than I was willing to work for.

Sat at home with a bottle of lucozade and a cadburys easter egg, it doesnt get any more civilized then this :lmao: :mrgreen:

[Hal-9000]

Our internal job postings are a joke....they never list the wage for the position.

So I could be in one department, let my supervisor know I'm applying to go elsewhere in the company, go through the entire interview process to find out I'd be possibly making less money.And then back out, piss off two departments...along with the fact my current supervisor now knows I'm looking to leave his area.

So I could be in one department, let my supervisor know I'm applying to go elsewhere in the company, go through the entire interview process to find out I'd be possibly making less money.And then back out, piss off two departments...along with the fact my current supervisor now knows I'm looking to leave his area.

That.. makes zero sense. :wha:

[Hal-9000]

That.. makes zero sense. :wha:

I recently took part in a survey done by an outside company...about our company's practices.Everything from wage to not being paid for sick days.

I was one of 50 people selected nation wide.When our head of HR approached me and asked (told) me if I wanted to take part, my first question to her was - Are you sure you want ME to do this??? :lol:

Apparently when this company is done with the survey, they present commonalities to the president of our company and make recommendations.Whether they take action and actually change things is another matter.I told the woman interviewing me to feel free and use my name.She said it's all anonymous and most people don't want their names attached to the comments.I spelled my name for her....:lol: :lol:

I really want to know what you crazy kids consider low ball this day and age versus what you expect first gig.

[Hal-9000]

You don't want my opinion on that subject :lol:

I've seen some yut's both in Petro Canada (oil company) and my current job roll through here and expect 50K a year because they can use Excel

[Godfather]

13$/hr, part time, no benefits

[Pony]

13$/hr, part time, no benefits

That's what he offered? :-s

[Hal-9000]

13$/hr, part time, no benefits

What was the function GF? Something in banking or mutual funds?

[Godfather]

I have friends with degrees in commerce delivering pizza... times are tough

(this isn't directed at hal anymore)
You guys call me hippy and think I expect the world but things aren't easy. My generation has an overly lazy chunk to it. Too many whiners... but that doesn't make it easy for those who take themselves seriously and want careers.... the big 5 banks have 0 of their advertised post graduate training programs available this quarter in western Canada...

I could cut laws 45 hours a week for 17$/hr but that's not a career....

[minz]

OK, cheers. :mrgreen:

[Godfather]

Selling insurance and mutual funds ya... It's not quite as much as I hoped for. I'd be fine with 12$/hr with benefits and maybe some bonus' but 13$ without either isn't great

Performance review in three months and then hopefully a raise and full time


Or... I pass it up, use my connections to try and get a teller position at a bank. It's a bigger better company, little more pay and benefits but it might not start for weeks or months and I"ll have wasted my insurance license

Ahhh I'm so on the fence. This is a really, really hard choice for me

[RBP]

13$/hr, part time, no benefits

I'd keep looking but that's just me.

[Godfather]

Also, I'm grumpy if you can't tell... nothing mean or snappy I say counts for the next two hours :lol:

In our city it's extremes...guys like me work fairly hard and have lots of accountability, but get paid under 20/hr and that's after being here for years.It is warehouse tho....

conversely some jobs pay 70K to walk in, you have to have a BA but for the most part you're just sitting in a cubicle everyday twiddling your thumbs.

There's no real parity it seems for those who ARE educated VS those who luck out on a good spot :sad2:

Shit, I'd cut lawns for $17 an hour until a better offer comes along.

we hire guys at 15 to pick orders, that's after we couldn't get anyone.Full benefits, holidays but it is very physical and not fun.Guys make a living here but just barely.I make 18.75 and have arranged it so I can do this most of my day :lol: (after some very hard years where I learned nothing and hurt my body somewhat)

Yeah eh, it's all interesting

The longshoreman here make 100k and generally have little or no education. They're about to go on strike because they haven't gotten raises :roll:

It all makes little or no sense.

I think it'd just be most helpful to have a crystal ball eh :lol:

:lol: I've had friends get crazy paying jobs doing manual labor. 20$/hr felling, 18$/hr landscaping... those kinds of things. One friend got a summer job at his dad's factory and made 25$ to sweep floors

They all spend their money like they've won the lottery...


You just can't whore yourself out the same way in the white collar world for entry level jobs :( :P Then again, the biggest risk is seasonal affective disorder...

[Pony]

Yea, unfortunately the trend is keep all the money at the top, white collar or blue the bosses all want to keep their profit margin up in a bad economy so they do it by taking from the middle class. I've seen so many people lose good paying jobs only to be replaced by someone competent but desperate enough to take the same position for 50% less salary.

[RBP]

I'd keep looking but that's just me.

It depends on the economy and how patient you want to be, but for what it's worth, my first job out of college paid $25,000 with full benefits in 1988. That was considered a high offer. We were expecting $20,000.

Adjusted for inflation, $20000 in 1988 would be $35805.57 in 2009. That doesn't mean much but I would think $30k ($15/hr) is a reasonable expectation with benefits, but I am saying that with no data to back it up.

Hell up on the Lake Erie islands bartending jobs are awesome if you can get in. A friend worked every summer for 10 years up there. May through October and was bringing home 60-70K in tips. He took the winters off. Another friend up there just drove an island taxi shuttling people from the bars and ferry boat to their rooms. He worked Friday evening through Sunday noon every weekend and would take in $1000-1200 a weekend.

Yeah that's more what I was thinking myself. 15$/hr seems like a very fair pay. Without benefits it's exactly what I was expecting... I'd take a little less with them.

I think it's hard because I hate job hunting and I'm bored of it... it makes me feel urgency that I wish I didn't.


Part of me wants to take this job, and just keep on looking as hard as I am now. For 12$/hr part time without benefits this guy gets no loyalty do he? As much as I'd hate to just walk away after he took the expense of hiring me... who is he going to get that's going to work hard and has some education like myself, for this little with fierce loyalty?

There's not a whole lot out there, so if this job sticks and gets better that's great... if I find a better offer, that's good too. It just seems better than turning down a job when there really don't seem to be many.
