We're going to The American Doll Store afterwards to get them for her. Just MC or Visa Giftcards as gifts for her to use, thanks!"

Better be a kickin rad party. To be truthful I always have $25 rewards cards around that I want to get rid of because it is embarrassing when you get denied trying to buy a 4 dollar happy meal cause the balance is used up.

At that point why not just have a kickstarter campaign that culminates in a party? Perhaps only people who pledge at the $25+ level get an invite.

A few of my friends work at Applebees on weekends and they've told me about an employee that is extremely BWM. Notoriously spends all of his available money on cigarettes and weed. But the particular story they told me about was that he becomes automatically attached to any other female servers at Applebees. So much so that when they inevitably leave the job, he tries to hand them money as a farewell gift. Usually $40-60. Regardless of how long they've been at the job, how well he knows them, or where or why they're leaving. One girl that worked there for a few months said she was moving out of town and quitting Applebees, he gave her $60. She ended up not moving out of town or quitting. She still kept the money. A few of the girls outright rejected the money (he tried to chase one throughout the restaurant with money in hand trying to give it to her).

He quit to do the police academy, but didn't get in. He's been doing part-time security work, the National Guard one weekend a month, and refereeing kids soccer on the weekends. He interned at Enterprise for a year and a half. It was a paid internship, though. (He and my coworker are the ones that bought a house with 3% down because "the monthly payments are only a little higher than renting for more space.")

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:It was more like, the right to refuse to hire above average intelligence people. I don't remember details or anything but that's definitely what was reported. It was a police force in Connecticut and they sued for the right to change their "merit hiring" rules. They wanted to ability to reject applicants with advanced degrees or who scored very high on proficiency tests for entry-level jobs and certain desk work. The reasoning is that in order to get those jobs, they have to go through the police academy and training. - There is limited time, money, and space for police academy cadets. - Merit rules required them to hire these people if they applied (because they were the best qualified on paper). - These people were statistically the most likely to be bored/not challenged by the job or have much better opportunities available elsewhere. - That meant that these people were most likely to leave. - That meant the police had to wait until another cadet class graduated to fill that position and spend time, money, and limited cadet slots to train a new person (who would get the job if they had very high scores or an advanced degree) and then they would be likely to leave again.

Thousands of dollars worth of this poo poo. To the extend I started describing monetary units as American Girl dolls. "We need new tires and it's going to cost 8 American Girl dolls."
