stocks that cannot be exchanged for cash are not in the money. don't buy worthless stocks.

in my experience this means they have more questions, usually around teamwork and organizational stuff than skill questions [but I could be wrong]

i used hot bot to search for "teens"

welp the guy who got me my current job contacted me about qa position at another place. but it's not downtown which is kind of a deal breaker unless the figgies are extremely good.

and also it's a qa position. i just moved to a development position like a month ago.

anyway it's good to be at the point where people want to hire me and i can say no.

doubtful after an onsite. if they had doubts they would have rejected you. probably this:

when I interviewed at currentjob a PM that interviewed me apparently relayed a totally bogus version of what I said to the hiring manager. he called me up to find out what I really said. after I clarified they went ahead with the offer.

When Steve Jobs died it wasn't the first job I'd lost that week.
Just got terminated over text msg. Going to hit up the clinical trial racket ASAP. My goal over the summer is still to hit yet another 10-14K after tax. I already have a perfectly maintained car but I figure the extra cash in hand should go to a van or whatever to sleep in a few blocks from a BART station so I can hit the ground running. Any recommendations for a service that receives mail/ gives me a SF address to aid in fast tracking "this fucker is local interview him immediately"?

THANKS FOR LISTENING!

Thank you very much. Some employers in Wisconsin judge based on address. If you live outside of Madison/ Milwaukee they will offer less because it's safe to assume you are desperately trying to escape the rest of the state and lack of local jobs.

so going with relocation chat, whats the best way to say "yo idgaf about relocating just pay me to work there and ill be there"?
i can understand wanting local people since they can probably start a lot quicker, but as long as some of these companies take to get back to anyone i can't imagine they are in much of a rush

The year: 2000 in Shelbyville, KY. Gunny Sgt. In ROTC told us that after the semester was out we would all either enlist or work till the grave. He also stated that on average we would all make out to 1 million over our individual life spans. I'm 33 now and my personal drive keeps hitting new levels of peak profitble efficiency albeit I literally starve myself out of spite partly because I have always been scared of big city USA and leaving my parents and Young Buck kid brother behind. I know that I don't belong to anyone and I want to make a buck and buy the family home in Wisconsin to guarantee that my parents don't ever see a retirement home. It's me. I'm the rear end in a top hat that gardens with his mother.
