Penn flocking Station.
Worked there for a year and a few months before I couldn't take it any longer. It used to be an awesome job with awesome people and I looked forward to going to work. We had this asshole manager though that constantly reminded everyone of how stupid, useless, and replaceable we all where though. I can't even begin to explain the stories, I'm sure she broke a bunch of laws of not only the company but of the state when running a business, like when she would get pissed at us and hold paychecks.
Anyway what basically happened was everyone cool got fed up with the crap, and she hired equally flocked up people as her (almost) in their places. So it was all ridiculous bullshit all the time. People working there for a month trying to tell me how to do my job and getting stupid promotions. It was sickening the way they would hang out outside of work and just the way they would act all the time, I don't understand what causes a person to act the way they did, so stuck up and full of themselves. Working 1 step above mcdonalds.
How it ended? I had to call a day off to watch my brother (which I would normally never do, but DAMN ME for being nice to people and trying to help my parents out) I call in to work, Heres exactly how the conversation went.
"Hey I need to call saturday off because my parents are going to be out of town longer than expected, so i have to watch my brother, I had to watch him yesterday too but I didn't work, and they where supposed to be back tomorrow so I did not see this coming, sorry about that."
"Yeah right"
"What do you mean?"
"I just don't believe you"
"What do you mean you don't believe me, You know I don't call off for no reason I have called off twice the entire time i've worked there"
"Whatever have fun getting flocked up"
Hangs up on me, Then all day saturday the managers who thought they where cool with me where texting my phone asking me what I was doing, To which I responded, sitting at my parents house being bored as hell, but they didn't give up and kept texting me and asking, I eventually get pissed and say "Why, Do they have you doing some interrogation work or something?" They played dumb and stopped texting me.
Next weekend I walk into work, my boss immediately greets me with "You called off last weekend so I'm going to be a biatch to you all night because of it" Not a good day to flock around like that, I was having a bad weekend with my phone breaking and a bunch of other crap. She kept acting ridiculous and screaming in my face for no reason about crap (which was actually preventing me from doing my job) I eventually couldn't stand it anymore, months and months of this crap, I just plain asked her. "Okay what are you trying to do here, sorry I called off, I had to, Are you TRYING to get me to quit? I really don't understand, I'll quit if you want me to" She got all pissed and started yelling and I just said flock this, flock you, I'm out. and left, Which was hysterical because my friend who worked there thought I would be there forever because I used to love it so much turns around and goes "hoooollllyyy sh1t" while this was all going on.
They got what they deserved though, because all those assholes they where busy hiring sucked HORRIBLY at their job, there where basically 4 really good people left including me, all but one of them quit the same time I did.
I didn't even bother to get my paycheck for like 2 weeks, When i went in they started making faces and snickering and crap, they wouldn't even talk to me, She even made me wait for her to make a phone call to g et my check, which was completely unrelated to work, It would have been worse if my friend wasn't there i'm sure.
Anyway, I have a ton of money right now and haven't had a job in months, which is working out awesome. Especially since I can concentrate more on college now. Definitely going to need to get a job probably next week though just to be safe.
That's heinous, man. Good luck on the job hunt.

AAAA! I can't believe I didn't post any AoD quotes!!!!! AAAA! The shame!!!!!!!!!
Good one, balthasar.

Ouch, man. That's bad! I'd be just as pissed as you about it.
My worst job was working the stock at a Target. The job itself wasn't that bad, you just push merchandise around. Worst case scenario you're carrying some big ass heavy box down some tall ladder. Holy crap, though, do I hate Target. They start shoving their dogma into your head before you even start working there. crap like, "Join our family!", and "Speed is life!". And one of my team leads always drove around on his box carrying cart thing reminding everyone that speed is life! Other than that though, it was a great job. Great food at that little cafe thing, too, served like eggs and hash browns and crap. I only quit after spraining both my arms falling over outside my house on the way to work. Steep driveway and lots of ice. *sigh*
Speed is life? that sounds cultish for sure. I applied for target once but got jerked around. I got a tour of the place and saw what all I'd have to do. I was bummed I didn't called back. Sucks about your arms, too. I got my foot crushed at one job I had as a machine inspector- too bad you didn't hurt your arms at work
Workman's comp! -
Man, balthasar that does massively blow. I know what it's like to be put in danger or pushed around by "experienced" morons in a job. hearing your story did make me remember some other crappy jobs i had, though. I remember having to power sand a ceiling 300 feet up in the air on a scissor lift with no harness or goggles. Three or four weeks of being coated in sawdust, looking like a yellow swamp thing. Ugh. When I was very young and naive I ended up working as a janitor/ handyman at a church. Not only did I get paid 60 dollars a week to work around 10 hours a day five days a week, but I ended up falling off a twelve foot ladder and being knocked out for god knows how long without anyone checking on me. I had to limp/hop/drag myself to my bosses office to get taken to the hospital. The good side of that one was that my boss ended up cleaning up the paint from the paint can I had in my hands when I fell. I quit the next week.
(On a side note-I'm also 6'3" balthasar. Oooooooooo! Spoooooky!!)

I had one hairy incident when I had my first car.
I came out of a side street and it had been raining. As soon as I touched the accelerator, the car started spinning around and I freaked out. Cars were going in all directions and luckily there were no accidents. My car ended up on the grass off the side of road facing the opposite way i had been going. I just sorta sat there for 10 minutes, zombied out.
I made sure I bought some new tyres that week.
I've had a car spin out on me, too. I was coming home from work in the winter when all of a sudden the car just whipped to the left and spun around in a circle about 3 times. I was so stunned I didn't do anything. I never toughed the wheel, but was somehow lucky enough to just end up pointed in the direction i had come form. I just snapped out of it and drive back and took another way home. That was so bizarre.

Btw I don't care if that was an old post.

Bambi and Belthasar have really been bring good luck. Others too, no offense for not mentioning anybody else, but bambi and Belthasar happen to be not MUGEN lovers, yet or as we now know right now. We dont need MUGEN lovers but more people in the lounge.
Uh, I'm a mugen lover AND I post in the lounge.

Ah brings back memories, Takashi Miike is a true genius director. Ichi proves that alright. But talking about the topic, if you guys saw Odishon (Audition) also done by Miike, the end was quite gory and painful which I still can't stand watching it more than once.
Yeah. that one's a cringer alright.

When I first learned to drive I was driving a girl home and saw flashing lights behind me. I thought it was the cops and freaked out. And right when I went to pull over a cat leaped in front of the car and I killed it. The girl started screaming and I thought I was getting arrested. It was heart pounding. Turns out it was an ambulance behind me. I have a lot of driving stories. I could fill up a few pages.
Another time after I bought my first car I went to look at an apartment with my then girlfriend. We got there early so I drove around awhile. I spotted a rain puddle in a parking lot and hit the gas to go run through it. I slammed the puddle and then realized there was a storm drain at the edge of the lot with my front wheel over the edge. I hit the brakes when I was going about fifty and stopped right on the edge of the drain. Unfortunately my car was front wheel drive and I was stuck. The owner of the store (It just so happened to be a liquor store) came out freaking out and yelling. I offered no excuse and kind of laughed about it. Just about then I remembered I had to go look at the apartment, so I left the car there and went to see it. I ended up putting a down payment on it before going back to my car. the guy who owned the store was gone. I thought maybe he had called the cops (I'm paranoid about having the cops called on me btw) so I called one of my friends to get him to bring his dad's truck out so I could escape the situation and hopefully the long arm of the law. 20 minutes later he shows up in a cavalier. I could have killed him. So he ends up trying to climb down into this stinking runoff drain water and push the car out. While he's doing so, incidentally the car's spinning tire catches him in the nipple. After we get him pulled out pf the muck the owner of the store comes back and tells me he can tow me out if I sign a contract so I can't sue him if he messes up the car. (This is after two hours of trying to get it out btw.) So I go in to sign the papers and he wants to see my license. The problem is I didn't have one at the time. I made up a bullcrap story about the computers at the dmv which he bought by some small miracle and 20 minutes later I was out of there. Oh, and I signed the contract in the video store next to the liquor store, so I ended up buying a 'Saw" dvd form him before I left.
I'll probably put some more stories up later.

Well? What was the worst job you ever had in your whole life? Personally I'd have to say it was shearing sheep. I got paid a ridiculously small amount of money and the sheep were horrific to deal with as well as filthy.
hahahhahaha
They way you worded that was hilarious. Worse job for me was when i was in my teens working at Mcdonalds.
I did kind of make it seem like the sheep were coworkers or something, didn't I?
I dodged the golden arch bullet. I picked up an application but then thought "Wait! What the hell am I doing?" I got into construction after that. I think I did the right thing. -
I just rewatched hellraiser and it was fairly gorier than I remembered it to be. There's a lot of goop in that movie.

Well the Japanese are doing it. That's the difference.
Hmmm! I may have to retract my statement. I guess I should have figured that out when I saw it was called Biohazard.

Cheryl: "Well, after you left, he started getting into drugs and stuff. Things got really bad when he..."
Jack Spade: "Well, what? Cheryl, come on!"
Cheryl: "He started wearing gold chains, Jack."
Jack Spade: "Oh, God, no!"
Great scene from a great movie

Brian O'Blivion: "The battle for the mind of North America will be fought in the video arena: the Videodrome. The television screen is the retina of the mind's eye. Therefore, the television screen is part of the physical structure of the brain. Therefore, whatever appears on the television screen emerges as raw experience for those who watch it. Therefore, television is reality, and reality is less than television."

It will suck, I will watch it and I'll buy it when it hits dvd. Same as the others.

Updating chars with MFixer
in Gossip Café [/offtopic]
Posted · Edited by onetrueblade
Well, some characters I have are outdated and need syntax changes. Rather than do it all myself I looked for a semi-easy way to do it. I found a program called MFixer and it seemed like what I need, bit when I went to run it I couldn't find the .fix file. The readme acts like it should be there, but it isn't and I can't find it elsewhere. Does anyone know what I'm talking about or can help me out?
