I Have A Job! I Have A Job! I Have A Job!

[tgpo]

I finally got a job. It's not much, but it'll bring in money.

I'll be working the computer lab at a nearby college.

[Culley]

Well, hey, that's great.

I got a raise at my job today. An extra $4000.

Jobs aren't all that bad!

[housepig]

Congrats!! Hopefully, they'll give you a discount off tuition?

Congrats, tgpo. I also got a job. It is only part-time, but it will help out until I graduate from college in December. My job is conducting inventories in retail and grocery stores using a 10 key machine.

Congrats. I applied for a second "second" job that pays hourly and has good fringe benefits. I applied for the night shift at a local video store. I'll be able to increase.....er...um.....back up more of...uh...my viewing collection. I'm just kidding. I know the guys at the store and they've been wanting me to apply for the last bunch of hirings. I'll be the new night manager if I get hired, and I've been highly recommended by the staff. I have quite a detailed knowledge on many movies. I've seen so many I don't even remember some I've seen in the past until I see them again and start quoting the lines before they happen. My wife hated that when I saw the 'The Changling' recently (and after I had told her "I don't ever remember seeing that movie in my life"). It's sad when you've forgotten more movies than there were top movie titles in all of the 80's. I was just shown 'More American Grafitti' after I told a friend I never knew there was a sequel. He also told me to shut up when I was quoting lines in the movie just before they happened. It's funny, people don't like watching movies with me if I've already seen it. And nobody seems to believe me anymore whe I say I haven't seen a certain movie. By the time I'm 80 it'll probably take someone around 3-5 years, watching continuously 24/7, to see all of the movies, once, that I have seen. My life has been wasted.

Congrats! I wish you all the best in your new job!!!

@TGPO - congrats!

I was just shown 'More American Grafitti' after I told a friend I never knew there was a sequel.

a lot of people would like to forget there was a sequel to that

George Lucas, Gloria Katz & Willard Huyck wrote the original...and Lucas had based some of it on his own life


The sequel was just to make the studio some easy money by capitalizing on the success of the first

sequel written and directed by Bill L. Norton (who was no part of the original)

George Lucas and Richard Dreyfuss didn't want any part of the sequel - Lucas was already too involved with getting the sequel to Star Wars on its way at the time.


More American Graffiti ended up being a big box office flop.

It's funny, people don't like watching movies with me if I've already seen it.

When I saw Jaws for the first time, in the theater, there was this older kid (someone I didn't know) sitting next to me and he had seen it the night before - he kept yelling out what was gonna happen...and everyone around us was getting pissed...these girls in back of us were saying someone shut that kid up.

It got to the point where anytime he opened up his mouth....the whole two rows turned towards him and yelled Shut Up!! at the same time

Congrats.

I just got a job too. Lifeguarding, not bad for a 16 year old. But I'm starting to hate it. Work sucks. Even if it is just sitting on a lifeguard stand.

edit: sitting on a lifeguard stand, and cleaning crap up.

Watching to make sure no one drowns. I guess one man's "suck" is another man's service to humanity.

Congrats Tgpo. I hope they realize how fortunate they are to have you!

Overqualified?

Believe me, it's a real issue in a tight economy.

Hate to ask this again, especially after what happened to you, but have you talked to the contact I gave you? Are you not interested? If you need the money, does it matter?

I've had to go through this for the last year. Scraping up contract jobs where I could find them. One guy used to give me just enough work to buy food for the family. Now that I have a full time contract for the next year, he wants me to do some more for him! I may still do it in my spare (ha ha) time. I could use the money for new computer toys, or a second car.

If you want to talk about it, just PM me.
