Still the best posts this thread had to offer. Sorry about the job Benny, but it sounded pretty sketch from the get-go. Best of luck as you keep looking!

JakeP posted:What he means is they would decrease the price of the item so that it shows up in searches as cheaper than the competition, and adjust the shipping cost up to account for the difference from lowering the price. I'm having a hard time figuring out why he has a moral objection to this. On ebay it shows you right on the loving page how much the shipping is. Its not like they were charging $900 for shipping or selling pieces of paper with pictures of XBOXs on them. spunkshui fucked around with this message at 06:11 on May 29, 2014 |

laplace posted:Man that was Benny bingo. First he explained everything he did wrong, and then blamed it on others, then cast suspicion and anger towards some woman he worked with, then he mentioned yet another random unnamed family member who he is supposedly getting helped by, and ended it off implying he was totally fine and losing his job wasn't his fault or a real loss. The self righteous implication of moral high ground about thinking his own actions were shady is like the cherry on the poo poo sundae. Thanks Benny. Perfect. The weird moral high ground thing kind of pissed me off, but this thread does that sometimes. Benny, people were saying that this job sounded too complicated for you and you proved them right. It sounded sketchy, but what do I know? Good luck, Benny. What the gently caress

Well, I just had a fairly harrowing dream where I got into multiple shouting matches with my mother (who was also simultaneously having a feud with our neighbours). Worst thing is, in the dream I felt guilty for all of them, even though they were prompted by her saying things like 'I don't give a gently caress about anything to do with your choir'. In the dream I'd just decided that all future visits home should be limited to picking up my things and leaving when she turned up for one last round! So now I'm feeling angry and resentful and guilty and scared even though none of it was real.

ThatBasqueGuy posted:Oh my god I want Benny to work in law so bad Given his moral questioning when it comes to grilling vegetables and selling items on eBay, I think I would pay money to see Benny's take on legal proceedings. On a more serious note, are you eligible for programs like the Peace Corps or Citiyear? Those are environments where it seems like you can gently caress up (within reason) while learning a lot about personal responsibility and problem-solving.

Don't mention Peace Corps, someone has been doing that since page like 5 and Benny responded to it once saying it's his "last wit option if I don't get a job in a year" or something dumb like that. But what do you know, a year later his whole issue with his parents has blown over and he's too cozy to sacrifice his comix and cushy lifestyle.

The best part of the whole 'jack up the shipping' thing is that eBay charges their final value fee on shipping as well as the final price, so by raising that cost they're just giving eBay a bigger cut of their profit.

Benny, it sounds like it was a poo poo job. I wish you would have had it for longer, because I think you need something on your resume that shows you CAN stick with something. But, yeah, it was a poo poo job. Keep applying for retail, office, and call center work. And always ASK about the training process in interviews...it's a good question, as it makes you sound interested in learning the position, and may also help you determine if you're going to be thrown to the wolves right away. Anything where you will be probably isn't a great fit. Get your info on file with a temp agency too. At worst, you'll get go on some interviews, maybe get to try out doing some different things.

It isn't scammy or immoral at all, and I doubt Benny ever thought it was, he is just pandering to the people who are all up in arms about the idea. Always count on Benny to ham it up. The job isn't scammy at all, it is just a lovely, minimum-wage job that Benny was not qualified or able to perform.

Benny the Snake posted:I said earlier that my meds make me drowsy and not taking them was non-negotiable. I wasn't yawning constantly, but it did get to the point where my coworkers noticed. One thing that I'm going to have to start doing once I get another job is drink coffee when I get drowsy. I'm not a coffee drinker. Get on new meds if you cannot function with your current meds. If you are yawning so much that people are actually talking about it that is an absurd ammount of yawning.

Welp, nothing I can do about it. No sirreeee."

JakeP posted:Get on new meds if you cannot function with your current meds. If you are yawning so much that people are actually talking about it that is an absurd ammount of yawning. While I am sure there is medication that will make you drowsy all day every day, yawning won't be the only symptom. It also won't be the only medication he can take and it will indicate other functions are impacted above and beyond just being "drowsy". I would wager that he does not have a regular sleep pattern, which causes his exhaustion, exacerbating the effects of the medication, if there are any to begin with. Most medications that have drowsyness as a side effect are not something you are prescribed to take daily, or are required to not operate heavy machinery/drive/etc while on them. Especially if it impairs him to such a degree his coworkers are recognizing him as a dude that yawns way too much. Edit: And stimulants like Caffeine will only mask the symptoms to a degree. However, this is the problem with anyone who has a mental disorder. They go untreated or poorly treated for various reasons, and need extensive care to put them on the right path to be productive. Benny is pretty far from the mark because he has not received anything remotely like "extensive care" insofar as can be determined in this thread. Worse yet, people giving him "advice" that he cherry picks only results in him playing benny bingo on excuses. I don't know whether to be angry or sad. I want people who are mentally ill to get better or put onto an ice flow. Whichever is easier really.

Benny the Snake posted:When I'm not careful, I gently caress up. When I am careful, I gently caress up anyway. It's a vicious cycle that I'm trying to break by realizing the difference between being careful and doubting myself. Maybe if you grunt and push hard enough, you'll realize that difference. No, but seriously, you're never gonna realize the difference until you see a therapist. All the planing, excuses, reasoning, plotting and scheming in the world won't help. Introspection won't help. Drugs won't help. Healthcare.gov gently caress your parents and their healthcare situation. Apply yourself. I assume they've done nothing as far as getting family coverage is concerned. Had you listened in the first place and gone to healthcare.gov and gotten yourself insurance instead of making excuses, you wouldn't have had to cancel your dentist appointment. This is part of your problem. Now could you pleas stop trying to work around things which are impossible to work around and visit Obama's site and get on with getting help?

Benny, you were not fired for yawning. No one gets fired for just yawning. I yawn a lot more then most people and always have (not sure why) even when I am not tired. No one mentions it at work because I get stuff done. They added this to the list of reasons you were fired because you looked and acted tired and were slow and drowsy as you worked. How much sleep are you getting a night?

Yeah, I don't think even Benny can be held responsible for the slowness of the Medicaid bureaucracy in processing his family's application. (Assuming we can take him at his word and that they really did apply a while back, as is my understanding. Which I'll grant you is one hell of an assumption.) Benny, you should definitely mention your drowsiness to your doctor next time you see them. Do this instead of trying to 'fix' the problem yourself with caffeine.
