What's New, Pussycat?Can this be our official "off topic" thread? Today I was pretty much assured a job at Toys R Us. I went through one interview today and the dude said he'll pass me along to his superier, and pretty much as long as I don't start a fight I've been hired. I'll be starting sometime next week, and I get to work in the video game department! The job will cut into my writing time, but it's part-time so I guess I shouldn't complain. Plus I'll be able to save up for this electric guitar I really want.

Cool. One of my friends got hired for a manager position at a new store recently. I applied for a job in the industry (no, not that industry). Was looking pretty good, but I've not gotten a reply for two weeks, so I don't think I got it. And I missed the internship at Beth I was thinking about. Which brings me to the fact that I still need to learn to drive D: The commute down to Rockville is a solid 2.5 hours.
Also, a mouse just ran across my window.
Yeah, the ability to drive is almost required in today's world.
pretty much as long as I don't start a fight I've been hired.
Start a fight? In Toys R Us?
A duel with toy swords is a lot more exciting and tempting than anyone would like to admit.
I meant starting a fight as in with the interviewer. I made a funny that wasn't so funny. :(
Toysrus never called me back. Damn online applications.
Ha! That's what I did. I filled out an online app and they called me the very next day.
Sweet!
Congratulations.
Generally off topic I'm unemployed still as well, currently.
Got some hooks out there and will hopefully get a job in the near future, will do some checks up tomorrow so I dont look to desperate (or what I should say).
Are we talking jobs? I can't get one. The graduating year before mine, 75% were employed in the museum sector within 6 months. Now my year is at the 6 months mark and I'd guess the figure is more like 20%. Hohohohoho the economy's gone to shit

In high school, when we were bored, we used to throw footballs up and down the aisle at Toys R Us. It usually resulted in us being asked to leave. I'm not really sure why.
Jobs! Let's list some of the wonderful jobs I had when I was younger...
Helped build decks and porches
Bagged groceries at a store
Became a cashier at that very same store
Bused tables at Red Lobster
Cut fairways and greens at a golf course
Taught little kids to play soccer
Taught kids to use a computer
Photographed and uploaded images of old churches in need of repair for a architectual restoration company

That's a very impressive collection of Stephen King novels!
Here's where we keep our books. Alas, my books would probably only take up 3-4 shelves. Someday, I'll finish the top part (between the ceiling and the top of the bookcases.

Thats downright shrinelike...
Haha! I love King, I really do. I also admit that sometimes I have a problem of reading too much King and not enough of other authors (which is why I'm reading some Lovecraft short stories right now). However, I did add my old Harry Potter collection, Narnia collection (that I haven't read yet) and some fantasy novel my brother gave me.
And B, I envy you. When I get my own house I want to have a "library room."
EDIT: Oh, and that's probably not half of what King has written.

The original intent was to make it a library room: leather chairs, floor lamps, footrests and side tables; however, the kid stuff has invaded, and there are no plans for nice furniture while my son is young.
Bookshelves. I could do with some of those. Or a big old bonfire.

Too much shite clogging up my life
I just got back my AP test scores. I got a 5 in AP Psychology and a 4 in AP Calculus. I'm shocked, I thought I failed the Calculus quite badly.
Congrads! I hear Calc is quite hard, most of my class failed it (I didn't take it at all).
In terms of bookshelves, most of my books are in a closet. The bookshelf in my room is primarily magazines, school related books, and reference material (art books, history, etc.)

Nice job!
Congrats, Quirk... although I have to admit that those grades mean nothing to me. I'm going to assume they're very good, or otherwise you wouldn't be telling us.
I don't have a bookshelf at the moment. The back of my wardrobe has to do for the time being. When I moved, I only brought my important books with me; about 3 boxfulls. I've only unpacked about twenty of them, mostly non-fiction except for Dune and some Pratchetts.
Also, hooray for iAddiction. Today I'm picking up one of these. Second-hand, luckily. I'll worry about how I'm going to pay for it next month. Now I need someone to buy my old Samsung T260 26"...

If people don't have a good math foundational, it's hard. Otherwise, it's not.
The ideas behind it are the reason why Newton is considered such a genius.
I actually miss calculus such a lot. It was fun. No reason to do it anymore, though.

Talking about the test rather than the subject. I was in AP Calc I/II, and most (all?) of us passed the class, but few of those who took the test managed to get above a 2.
Astion: 1.8k? fanboy >.>

Same. I miss my experience with friends learning calculus more, but I really don't need to know anything about it.

Then, I wouldn't know. Didn't take the calculus AP test either. I did appreciated math a lot more in college than in high school (class for calc AP started at 7AM, an hour earlier than when my school officially starts). Instead, I took Bio and American History AP and I both got a 4. Looking back, I should've taken advantage of AP American History for the credits. Meh, it doesn't matter. Getting a 30+ in the MCATs is my primary goal.
Congrats to you for your AP scores.
AP Psychology was a hoot. I passed the class and failed the test, which I never wanted to take. AP Government class was a bore. I was 'always' picked on to debate/give an opinion, which I hated, until I refused to. Our teacher, who tried, God bless him, didn't pick on me anymore. Instead, I would write an essay for he and I to discuss after class. My thoughts fall to pieces, as soon as they leave my mouth, which classifies following my logic under cruel and unusual punishment. AP Biology was forgettable. I don't even remember if I took it.
I found our barnyard cat dead on the road, a few days ago, but now that we have a fox, that's not an issue. My dogs are so lovably useless. Growing up around animals has put life and death in perspective.
You have a fox? You did name him Tod, right? Tell me you did...
All we have is a bunch of house flies. No idea where they are coming from - no doors or windows are open, and they just keep coming back (disposed of about 10 just this morning). I'm starting to buy into the medieval idea of spontaneous generation.
I have a (fat) beagle named Homer. I call him Mr. Bear.
