I feel pretty confident that Benny put very little work into his piece this week. Even though it was anonymous, I was able to predict it was likely his due to how half-assed it was and due to his lovely attitude in general. Something like this is just lazy crap that you should be able to fix with even one proofread: quote:What we ended up doing was putting the gold into sacks and put a pair in a mine cart under ore. Once we dumped the ore, we'd sneak the sacks deep into the forest and hide them under a layer of sod. After a few days, we finally managed to move all the gold out of the mine. This was fun too: quote:“How much have you saved up?” I asked and continued to pick ore from the walls. quote:“Don't joke about that,” I stopped picking and told him. “You know what you'd be doing if you joined them, right?” quote:“Get back to work,” a foreman told us in a thick accent. Me and Joaquin resumed picking for ore. Also: quote:“You backstabbing gently caress,” I spat at him. quote:I knew at that point that I wouldn't die in the middle of a forest at the hands of a greedy gently caress over a mountain of gold. quote:“You loving greedy gently caress!” I screamed and smashed his head in the ground. I was somewhat defending him in this thread before, but I'm pretty sick of him now. I work forty hours per week and still find time to proofread and polish Thunderdome entries five or six times before I submit them while also doing larger writing projects that aren't part of internet contests. Benny has nothing to do all day and can't even take the time to proofread his poo poo. Writing comes naturally to him, he just never said he's any good at it! We also posted that he was supposed to claim his story, which he didn't do because he lost, I guess. We had to find the person in IRC who helped him proofread it in order to confirm that it was actually his story. I think he was probably trying to pretend it wasn't his.

I hardly ever lie in real life. I'm a terrible liar and can't keep secrets or lies without accidentally blurting out the truth. Lying isn't a prerequisite for writing well, but learning to tell the truth through a fictional character is. If you can't even be honest with yourself re: your inability to accomplish even the most basic of tasks, how do you ever expect to become "a writer?" You have some real problems with your interpretation of reality and how you shape your behavior in response to it. I guess that's where the psychotic diagnosis comes in. You need serious help that the internet can't give you. Your main goal should be fixing your broke rear end brain, as that's what's keeping you from a job. You're unlikable and unhirable in your current state. You can't lie your way out of psychosis dude. But through it all you should keep writing, even just an hour a day. THIS IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE, because it will never make you money. It takes 10,000 hours to become truly good at something, and you're competing with millions of people. At your rate of 5 hours a week (this is being very generous), it'd take you about 40 years to reach that mark. Even at 8 hours a day it'd take 3 years. You need to be doing something in the meantime (fixing your broken brain). crabrock fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Mar 4, 2014 |

Benny the Snake posted:I just got an email from Olive Garden: they want to schedule an interview with me. Be a busser. Please, if they ask what you'd like to be, say busboy. Here is why you should be a busboy... 1) Everyone in the restaurant industry starts out as either a busser or host. Typically it's busser unless the applicant is a really good candidate (which you're not) 2) Nobody wants to be a busser, so they'll jump at the opportunity to hire a legal citizen as a busboy. 2) You would make far more money as a busboy. Waiting tables is hard. Making good tips is hard. Some people have the looks, hospitality and social skills to make bank off tips. Let those people wait on tables and make tips so you can claim your percentage at the end of the night. You're a clutzy goon. Don't bother. 3) Waiters usually start off with a 2 table section on their first day to prove they can do the job. Bussers start off with half the restaurant on their first day to prove they can do the job. Waiters will get a 5-6 table section on a good day. You'll be bussing the entire restaurant (every day) once you show you're capable. I couldn't handle more than 3 tables and I'm currently a job-haver. I guarantee you'd be fired once they realize you can't even handle 2 tables. 4) It's a hustle/grind that's incredibly easy to master. Your number one goal is to get the poo poo out of the dining area. Empty bread basket? (get it out of there) Empty drinking glass? (get it out of there and tell a waiter they need a refill.) Someone dropped a knife on the ground? (get it out of there and replace it with a new one) Another busser will train you on the techniques they use. Usually you have a bin hidden away in the back of the dining room. It's sorta the intermediary bin when you don't have time to sort dishes onto the dish racks. When it's busy, you just chuck all your crap in the intermediary bin, then when things slow down, you empty the bin and sort the dishes. Even the most colossal messes from 10 person tables is just a matter of shoving it all into a bin, bringing it to the back and dealing with it once you have some time. Benny, I really hope you can get a job as a busser. I think you can do it. If you show some hustle and can be motivated enough to use any downtime to sweep/wipe/clean/etc. they'll love you. You can make a shitton of money but you really need to take as much work off the wait staff as realistically possible. If a waiter can turn their back on a messy table, take a new table's order, turn back around and the table behind them is magically clean and set, they'll definitely give you a good percentage. This can be the job that teaches you what hard work really is. Avoid being a waiter at all costs. Be a host if you have to. I assure you, there is no chance in hell you will last more than two days as a waiter. How to get a job as a busboy Tell them "I'm willing to stay alert. I will use any downtime to clean and scrub. If I see something out of place, I'll put it where it's supposed to go. I know that I need to communicate when I'm moving around. I'm familiar with the phrases "behind you" "corner" and "hot food coming through" I just need someone to show me the best practices to managing the slop in this particular restaurant." quote:“Get back to work,” a foreman told us in a thick accent. What the gently caress is this? Benny, you really have the writing skills of a porn actor trying to be taken seriously. It's not just the fact that I feel dyslexic when reading your words. You miss so many concepts. What accent? A thick accent? What the gently caress is the point of the accent? Where is he from? Am I supposed to feel the character's intimidating presence because of his non-specific accent? Is it an eastern European accent? Southern Asian, American, Hispanic or French-African? When claiming a character has an accent, you encourage the reader to profile the character. How is the reader supposed to do this when there is no profile?! I'm not saying this as some sort of evil racial profiling or stereotyping, but when you say "he has an accent" it naturally makes the reader curious as to which part of the world the character is from. cname fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Mar 4, 2014 |

I usually had 2 part-time jobs at once, in different fields (academic/research, and behavioral interventions with youth), on top of clubs and volunteering, as well as my hobbies. I drove across the country with nothing more than the stuff in my car, and got a full time job with full benefits in 2 days, with absolutely 0 leads or preplanning. This is why it baffles me that it's been over a year and he can't get a job at loving McDonalds, the cliche of "easiest place to get a job at."

CA shits out liberal arts majors like it has been in Mexico drinking water from the tap all weekend. The majority of CA grads aren't trained in fields that the state has any need of. If you didn't have a plan to go with your college other than "get a degree" and you have no work experience you are pretty well hosed.

Add to that the fact that a lot of colleges won't even consider you now without extensive extracurricular activities, and the fact that the tide of "more homework is better" has come back in fairly recently, and it's not too surprising that people are skipping on the $8-an-hour, 20-hours-a-week part time jobs when they're in high school.

Benny the Snake posted:Well I guess I'll have to come clean about "The Bird of Fortune". I wasn't happy with it going in to Sunday when it had to be submitted. I had one person took a look at it and messaged four other people to take a look at it. Why wasn't I happy with it? It was a weak story. It was a point A to point B kind of story with two-dimensional characters and a cliched conflict. I wasn't telling a story, I was leading the reader by the nose. I wanted to bow out of the Thunderdome, but I decided to post because I had to see this through. That's why I keep coming back to the Thunderdome. I don't want to be stuck in an echo chamber and pumping out crap nobody reads thinking it's great like Ignatius from A Confederacy of Dunces. I ask that question to myself every so often: what's separating me from Ignatius J. Reilly? In one sense, I'm actually getting my writing out there for other people to see. People did not dislike it because it was a 'simple A to B' story progression. They didn't like it because it made no sense. You brought a magical bird into it... why? Where did it go? I am assuming it was linked to the gold somehow but perhaps it had nothing to do with the gold or the plot in any way (so why was it in the story)? Your characters sucked and their decisions made little to no sense. Benny, it wasn't simplistic, it was crap.

Benny really stop lying, from the start of this thread everyone knew you were lying about things you didn't fool anyone. People just stopped calling you on it because it's pointless and boring. In real life when people have to deal with someone who lies blatantly and constantly they just stop interacting with them. Does that happen to you often? You try and make friends and they eventually drift away? Maybe you get invited to large gatherings every so often that's for the entertainment value, people are laughing at you for whatever ridiculous poo poo you may make up.

It shouldn't be that hard, you're right. But we are dealing with someone that has been telling prospective employers that he does not have reliable transportation to work. I've always looked at that question on job applications and thought, "who would actually check that box?" Yesterday I finally received an answer to that question, and its Benny. Based on this, I really think Benny needs a back to basics approach to his job search. He's spent all this time creating 20+ versions of his resume and cover letter while inserting cheeky questions, ("Well what traits does your ideal candidate have?"  ) all while he's been failing at basic filter questions on the application. Benny, from now on you have reliable transport to work. You've never been convicted of any crimes. You've never been terminated from a job. You are willing to take a drug test. Above all, you need to indicate that your schedule is wide open and that you want to start as soon as possible. If you get an interview, again, emphasize the flexible schedule and eagerness to start. Ask about what an average shift would look like, how long the training period is ect, sick to normal questions. By no means necessary should you be pulling out a question or comment that you got off of a 20 Ways Canidates Have Impressed an HR Manager article on Monster.

Benny have you considered buying an ounce of weed and then selling it in smaller portions for more money than you paid for it? You get to set your own hours, you don't have a boss, you meet new interesting people every day, and while you're doing it you can sit around all day and post on your favorite comedy forum. Just don't sell it to cops. Edit: also you don't need a car, people will come to you! Also don't list it on your resume. Magnus Gallant fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Mar 4, 2014 |

Ok, so maybe it's reaching, but I think here's another little lie. I definately proofread Benny's story and gave him feedback on it...Benny the Snake posted:I asked four different people and only got back from one. Granted, I reached out the day before but I'm sure if I got more feedback, the story would've been much, much better. ....but aparently at least one other person also gave him feedback, but he said only one did. systran posted:We also posted that he was supposed to claim his story, which he didn't do because he lost, I guess. We had to find the person in IRC who helped him proofread it in order to confirm that it was actually his story. I think he was probably trying to pretend it wasn't his. The way this is worded implies that the person here was the one that gave him feedback and helped him with it... So which is it, Benny? Why would you lie about something so stupidly simple as how many people proofread and gave you feedback on your story?

Then after nearly half a year of looking and applying for better positions, my mom's husband got me a job at a machine shop because he was close personal friends with the owner of the shop. When I quit that job because it prevented me from going to school because it was a 50+ hour week and nearly an hour away from my house, it took me another 4 months to find an office job because a close high school friend got me in when his college buddy got him in. At this point being smart, on the ball, and friendly isn't quite enough to get you a job within a week depending on where you live anymore, and I can't imagine how hard it would have been if I didn't have a car. It doesn't help that I'm dealing with the additional fallout from auto companies due to living in the rust belt, but most people I know who could get away with it didn't work for poo poo until at least college because doing well in high school is more important in the long run unless you don't have college aspirations.

Not to be a grammar/spelling Nazi dickcunt since I am positive I do this myself, but I've detected spelling inaccuracies and small grammatical errors in posts made by persons who either told Benny he sucked at writing, or admitted to proofreading his story. Or both. But then, you proofread your own poo poo, you miss things. Have someone else proofread it, they find things you can't believe you hosed up or misspelled. At any rate, he still sucks. I don't even have to read his entire story to know this; it's evident in the sentences pulled from it and quote for my reading displeasure in this very thread. This is goddamn gold. Gold.

life is killing me posted:Not to be a grammar/spelling Nazi dickcunt since I am positive I do this myself, but I've detected spelling inaccuracies and small grammatical errors in posts made by persons who either told Benny he sucked at writing, or admitted to proofreading his story. Or both. Without a doubt; everyone makes mistakes. That having been said, most people in this thread* aren't claiming to be english majors who want to write the next Great Novel and/or teach English. Ragging on Benny's grammar and writing skills didn't really come up until Benny claiming he wanted to do one or both of those, and it only really took root because instead of saying "Yeah I could improve", Benny's response was "Well it's message board posts, I'm not actually trying to write well here." So yeah, at this point it's more of a joke than anything, but what in this thread isn't? *this may have changed with the influx of TD regulars

Ursine Asylum posted:Yeah you stick it to those single moms working 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet. It's not so much about adults doing jobs which kids used to do. It's more the fact that I see tons of adults doing jobs that kids used to do and failing miserably. If a single mother can't figure out that the general public would prefer salami spread across the Italian sub, as opposed to concentrated in one area then yea. gently caress her. Hire a kid who will fix their defunct behavior instead of repeating it over and over and over and over again. I'm biased, because in my experience, younger people have been better workers than their elders. cname fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Mar 4, 2014 |

I don't know how it happened, but some of you in this thread are dumber and more clueless than Benny. Congratulations.

Well I mean, I just re-read that post and I found an error of my own. I'm going to go hang myself now.
