Get a job at a different grocery store and learn to drive. When you apply at grocery stores don't mention your degree or job at target.

Right now you have nothing but time on your hands, you can use this time to learn how to drive so you can apply for more jobs.

He's right! Driving is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. And it's something you'll never forget how to do, just like riding a bike or guiding a shopping car....

Oh...right. Yeah. Yeah, we are. Were? Were. My Mass Effect/Vikings crossover fan fiction was hailed by my mother (my publisher/agent) as the best thing she's read, ever. That says a lot, because she reads some high-level poo poo, like Danielle Steele and Fifty Shades of Grey.

That's it! Benny needs to write erotic fiction!

Luis picked at the pile of rocks with his pick. Sweat dripped from his thick accented brow. He look up at the person picking next to him and said "yo Holmes, it is hot, is it not?"

Holmes looked over at Luis and spat an answer back at him "that is elementarilarily obvious to anyone, my dear Luis. From the angle of the sun it is 102 degrees. I can tell from the marks your pick made on the rocks you picked that it feels like 110 degrees."

Luis got mad and yelled at Holmes as he ran at him with his pick swinging wildly in the air. "gently caress you, Holmes. gently caress YOU!"

Angrily, Luis swung his pick at Holmes, but Holmes ducked under the swinging pick and picked up a picked rock from his pile of pickings. Holmes deftly hit Luis in his accented head, and Luis fell to the ground like a pile of picked rocks.

Dully, Holmes dropped his pick and rock. A bird was circling overhead. It seemed to be telling him something, so he followed the bird.

So, I don't think anyone here is afraid of making 'borderline libelous' statements about him, what you said has nothing to do with a parody and I'm not sure you know what the meaning of the phrase you used is.

gently caress off with the Thunderdome poo poo already. Benny isn't a writer nor will he ever be. Go read his blog for a laugh. I want more job search parodies.

The TD incident made me come to terms for the umpteenth time about my habitual lying. The last time was after I was fired from Target, and I swore to myself that this wouldn't happen again and that I wouldn't lie when I was caught doing something wrong. I just hope this time I can finally kick the habit. If I expect to find work and keep it, I have to squash this habit now.

Lying to yourself about coming to terms with your lying habit? This rabbit hole goes deep...

Getting your wisdom teeth pulled really is not that bad, they give you prescription painkillers. If it comes to that don't worry about being in crippling pain or anything. As for expensive the reality is if you have to have it done you have to have it done.

Benny the Snake posted:

I got back from the dentist. I need five fillings for five cavities. I'm also getting a wisdom tooth pulled out because it's giving me pain. All the procedures, plus a cleaning and today's examination, will cost me about $700. It would've cost me about $200 more if I didn't opt for cheaper fillings. In fact, if I was under Medi-Cal, the cheap fillings would be covered. Here's the thing: it was my Mom who applied the whole family for Medi-Cal, so she's the only one who can find out the status of our application. I could've applied on my own and avoided all this but she insisted that we do it as a family so we could all share the costs. It sounded like a good idea at the time, I guess.

I got an excuse note signed by the doctor so I can give it to my manager tomorrow. I'm scheduled for this Friday, next Tuesday, and next Friday for the procedures. I'm saving the tooth extraction and cleaning for last. Fortunately, the doctor prescribes Motrin, so it should be cheap.

I've gotten back into blog writing now that I have money to go out and review movies. It's only a hobby for now, but I like it. I'm having difficulty finding time for Thunderdome, though. I really wanted to enter the epidemic round since I had a really good idea, but I was too busy.

As a lawyer and an avid reader of this thread, please don't get a job doing legal administration at a law firm if you are having issues with being careless and/or lacking attention to detail.

It's one thing to cost a shifty ebay business a few bucks because you messed up transcribing the SKUs or didn't double-check stock, but inattention to detail when working with legal documents could not only cost the firm thousands in fees, lost billable hours, lost clients, etc., but it could lead to major legal consequences for the lawyers involved if you truly gently caress up in some monumental way, and consequences for the clients themselves if they end up losing their case, or having void documents, because you did something wrong.

No, I know people on SA who just refuse to get a job and use "depression" as an excuse to put in no effort at all. It's easy to pile onto Benny, but at least he's always trying/lying/making excuses about getting jobs...beats a lot of people who have already given up.
