"When life gives you ghosts, you make ghost-robots"

I think this is a philosophy we can all aspire to.

I'm not huge on black friday because no high-end store really does it, so yeah cool if I want to save $.50 on pens it's a loving party and if not I think I will go to work or sleep or w/e

i find black friday too difficult to willingly participate in because every person working at the stores just looks so defeated

i used to work at a coffee shop and on black friday we would offer free food/coffee to any retail employees who came in because that is a bad day to work retail

I worked at the mall when I was younger and did one Black Friday at Suncoast Motion Pictures

ONE black friday

I quit shortly after that because I knew christmas was coming and the day after christmas is the day where everyone returns everything and gently caress you I'm not doing that poo poo twice

On the other hand the job was pretty fun because we had to sell so many stupid magazine subscriptions per month or get yelled at, and I figured out pretty early on that I could wear a low cut top and hang out in the anime section and hold the clipboard up to my boobs while talking to the greasy anime nerds and they'd sign up for magazines just about every time

Anyone know the best way to clean memory foam pillows?

this i don't know, but i seriously doubt it would be much different to other foam or felted things. if you want to just wash it to get out dust handwash it. if you want to get out dust and head stank, dry clean it, because those chemicals kill everything. either way the thing will be getting wet.

if it's dry cleaned they'll need to leave it for at least two days to air out, but it's worth it not to have freaky reeky pillows. you wouldn't believe the kind of stuff brought into that place that left smelling like normal people

Dry cleaners are also the only good place to get sheepskin rugs cleaned, frankly.

My mom leaves them around the house because she likes to sleep on them like a cat and they get dusty and matted if you don't take them in at least occasionally.

where are you getting residency? what kind of tech's your specialty, lighting? before i gave up on all of my dreams i did a shitload of black box and fringe theatre poo poo (mostly stage managing, writing and telling people how to act without being bad) and the feeling of ultimate power that came with being on cans and in control of the lights was just. loving. great. when i was directing my best mate was the light tech, second best was the sound tech

The FROZEN NORTH. BC, specifically. I started in telly operating a teleprompter (gently caress you autocorrect that brand looks stupid it's dumb capitals). I can do video switching and captioning, have a little camera op experience and in theatre my strength is lighting but i can also do sound, projections, etc. last few years I've worked at Victoria fringe doing single tech stuff. It's fun.

Yes I do. I'm the SharePoint admin here at work, and since there's two of us work comes in fits and spurts, so when I'm not working I get to gently caress around on the internet. Boss gives no shits so long as work is getting done in a timely fashion, and I ALWAYS do my poo poo in a timely fashion, with a smile and rockin customer service

I am an unionized office drone at a state university, I really don't know how much of the day anyone here spends actually working.

Primarily my job is to wait for people to come in so I can tell them they have the wrong office, or explain how our copiers work. I also have all general phone calls for the department coming to me so I'm part digital switch board operator too

But I do have two monitors :krad:

Finding jeans that don't make you look like you're waiting for a flood is also rather difficult. Having long legs is awesome though.

Thanks, I'm pretty much the exact measurements of a size 12 model so clothes shopping is never really hard, its a serious blessing since I used to have to shop plus sized. Old Navy long pants work for me perfectly and they carry them in store. :)

I actually tried their talls and they completely engulfed my feet, haha.

Also I just realized I post way too much in this thread, I'm like in the top five poster counts here. :ohdear:

Old Navy stuff just doesn't work on me, I don't get it. I know they use vanity sizes like crazy, but my body just isn't compatible with them at any size. It sucks, because cheap basics are difficult to come by.

I do appreciate that they even bother making long sizes though, not a lot of companies do that
