I Called In Sick Today

Shake, the point of the screenshot was to demonstrate how varied and awesome the DJs are at kexp. A great mix of new stuff and old, a lock to hear something awesome that is new to you.

No, you need to be in college and super involved on campus and have a sweet gpa and be naannot super awkward person and know somebody in the firm. Also having tits helps apparently since I know girls that were seriously dumb that have big 4 jobs. If you don't intern and then get hired right out of school it's basically impossible to get a job at a big 4 unless you have some good connections (which i dont). Or really any of the bigger national firms.

Sacrificing anything at all in quality in exchange for looks, for a job that isn't customer-facing.... can these companies be dumber?

oh. maybe you could have typed that? I'll... try to remember to check that out somehow.

there's a certain amount of dead weight loss that's acceptable to make the workplace more aesthetically pleasing (read: tits).hey napa, have you tried applying maybe? maybe you could try?

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

kexp.org, now? you can check it out now. this DJ is insane. some of his last set was really good, but I searched w.cd for most of it. only one album was there. modern global music, aka middle eastern/african electronic and what have you. like, what? awesome.I will never see eye to eye with most guys about what you want at a workplace.

If you want to see eye to eye with us, you just have to kinda crouch down to get your face in front of the secretary's tits.

No offence to anyione but that was quite possibly the WORST vegas trip report ever. I mean... Ive heard better KC casino reports in my timeI mean, there has to be more. Why fly halfway across the country for that crap? I hear KC has the same stuff. Not hating at all...just wondering is allIn other news, the kid bought a crv. honda. piece of crap. been working on it a couple days and ole dad has been assisting. In it for five hundred so far,. I did a tune up...eighty bucks...and now assisting body work for a matte black paint job. They are hoping for four grand. Maybe. I dunnoNothin else except I pooped normally today. Still have a response to djvus response but it didnt stick to the page during this reply. maybe laterbcc=hahahahaaaa

[SuitedAces21 2,722]

i wouldn't have gone if i had to pay for my flight. i knew it wouldn't be worth it, i'm just not a vegas party type guy.

hey napa, have you tried applying maybe? maybe you could try?

Well, obviously, but a lot of the times they don't even list the entry level positions because they just give offers to former interns or do all their recruiting via schools' career sites and the such. Such a sucky system for someone like me who has somewhat related experience, but knows enough about what the job entails and still wants to do it but I can't even get my foot in the door.

[ShakeZuma 585]

napa that sounds like a quitter's attitude. welcome to the club. it's much easier than trying I can tell you that. plus look at all the complaining we get to do!fair warning: you'll probably die alone.

[Napa Lite 3,278]

Is it quitting if I'm still trying though? I'm just being realistic about my expectatjon More like "the failure club" for me. And I've still got a sliver of hope that my boss's sister will be able to help me out, but it won't be long before I've officially given up. Really only a matter of time.Edit: I have accepted the die alone part though.

[SuitedAces21 2,722]

dying alone is not going to be fun.edit: gotta move today. who knows when the internet at the new place will be up. until then, my braj's, keep on keeping on.

[ShakeZuma 585]

well if you haven't quit yet, you should. there's no point in trying. for anything really.dying alone isn't all that bad. it's the living part.that's some deep shit right there. put that on a coffee cup and throw it in a river.that made zero sense. FUCK IT.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

ron, why don't you write somewhere? it takes some charisma to do what you did with FCP in its heyday.

Thank you sir. I do feel like I missed An opportunity to write for a living by not pursuing a journalism degree back in the day. I feel like writing and communicating are my strong suits. But now, papers are dying, every idiot has a blog and making a dent in that world seems extremely difficult. There are thousands upon thousands of people that are smarter and more informed than I will ever be. I guess I'm in the Shake club of never trying and giving up.

This was funny to me.Me too. Except for the huge boobs. Could take or leave 'em.He's a great conversational writer, not sure that would translate to writing writing. I guess it could.

Thank you, that was my intention. I never wrote "huge". Did I? Maybe I did. Just good boobs. Full, round, not horribly floppy. You know who had good boobs? Matt LeBlanc's stalker from Episodes, Labia. DeeeelightfulThanks again, I think.

if you must here some stories, i will tell you. but they aren't interesting, so i hope you hate them you sonofabitch.(1) when we got to vegas we took our shit to our hotel and went over to caesars. we get on the 1/3 list and almost immediately a new game opens. i get in for 500 and first hand i'm under the gun. i look down at two red aces. i limp. two fold and a raise to 15. folded to me, i make it 55, guy insta shoves for only 200. snap call. he had queens (he said) and i held up. (2) second day at the wynn, i'm in for 500 in a 1/3 game. i limp in early position with Q 10 of spades. small blinds makes it ten, obviously i call. flop brings the king and the jack of spades plus a blank. small blind leads out for 35, i make it 135. folds to him and he shoves. i call, he has aces. i don't improve.(3) third day at the wynn. i raise under the gun with queens to 13. three or four callers, including the big blind. flop of Q 2 7 rainbow. big blind leads out, i call. everyone folds. turn a blank. he leads out, i min raise, he shoves. i insta hellmuth call, he has kings. no king on the river, i double up. (4) all in all i didn't make very many hands. i outplayed a few people, stole a few pots, but mainly played it pretty tight. ended up literally even, give or take 20 or 30 bucks either way. i paid cash for all my food so it was hard to say exactly.

Thank you, I enjoyed the poker stories. I miss poker. Where did you stay? Why the love for the Wynn? The Venetian has a great poker room. I like Caesers as well. Wynn was small

Why? You don't have to pay the pretty girls any more than the ugly ones or the guys, so why not do it? Increase the dating pool and company morale. I'm serious. I had a bar and restaurant owner tell me that about his hiring thought process. Don't hire hot, incompetent women, but if they can do the work AND be hot, it's a perfect combo

You make an excellent point on the trip. Why bother?Love the flat black paint job. He'll need rims to match.

Good looking out. I like her, but I won't listen to that. I don't even know what was going on with that page

[brvheart 1,752]

Edit: I have accepted the die alone part though.

I do not accept this answer! At some point you will make a decision to not let that happen, and then you won't, because you are Napa ****ing Don.

[brvheart 1,752]

I'm not going to lie, that link was horrible, but Amy posted it on her Facebook page, and mentioned that she was on it, and it made me think of you.ps. I'm Facebook friends with her, so I guess we have that in common.

[Iphonenkinder 558]

I sit next to a girl at work who's a slob. She went on vacation, an left a Trader Joe's sized bag underneath her desk, filled with designer shoes that all need to be repaired.I seriously considered putting them on and dancing around the office a la Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs.My question: should I tell her? She doesn't get my sense of humor most of the time.

[Napa Lite 3,278]

I'd use your iPhone to record you dancing in each pair and then go through and get stills from the video for each pair and then print them off and then hide them in random documents or just post them on her cube walls or something. I don't know. I'm not sure I get your humor either.

Nope. I don't FB friend very many celebs. But we both love Jesus.

Do itWho are you?

[DJ Vu 176]

And I'm discovering that I tie almost all my self-worth (what little there is) to my job/future job and not being able to get a job at a Big 4 firm is completely devastating.

Why so hellbent on Big 4? There are a lot of big firms that aren't "Big $" that will be very good for your career. Pre-post edit: Meant to type Big 4, but mistakenly hit the shift key while typing 4. Still works I think.

It's a quality of life decision. So much better to work in a place with attractive girls.

Haha

Who are you?

That's frautotenkinder. The one brv was trying to get to post in here. The one where you were disappointed to find out she's a she. I feel like you should've been able to figure this out on your own.I had nine posts quoted, but five didn't make the cut.Everytime IE talks about a DJ, I think he's talking about me at first.

I am unreasonably happy that you posted in here. I'm probably going to be thinking about it all day.The reason she doesn't get you, is because she's a girl and you're one of those really cool hybrid-girls that has a bunch of guy friends. I suppose kind-of like I imagined LG. Although you might have no idea who LG is, so for a frame a reference... Cameron Diaz in Something About Mary.ps. Tell her. She won't get it. Things will be awkward. Jokes on her.

[Napa Lite 3,278]

Well, I say Big 4, but the same can be said for almost all of the bigger regional/national firms. And I don't know, guess I've just been reading to many CPA forums (lol at such a thing) that say you're basically screwed if you don't go Big 4 even though youve told me differently before. More less what I'm doing is just picking whatever city and googling "city CPA firms" and then applying to ones with positions. Think I'm going to do a tiered system where week by week I'll just go to the city next down the list. I don't know.

[brvheart 1,752]

Dangit, foiled again. I thought that post was from a guy and he going to dance around in women's shoes, which would've been doubly awesome. I fireable offense, but awesome. I think brvy has a boner
