strategy 4 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 ??The temp jobs at WF in DSM were paying $15 two years ago.was just a general comment about why I'm totally cool with taking this other job for 12 (living at home) even though it's clearly not what I want to do with my life. shit, I don't know what I want to do anymore anyway.the temp salary has slipped a bit since then, or it had when I last checked (6mo ago?). I was seeing an average of 13. bought this last night when I was a little drunk: $150. I never bought anything with the money I got for my birthday and christmas (because no one knows what to buy me). Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 ??The temp jobs at WF in DSM were paying $15 two years ago.Banking salaries plummeting, huge time. I got $31k in 2001 to be a head teller for Citi. My head teller doesn't make that now. Crazy. Too few jobs, too much supply. Link to post Share on other sites

DJ Vu 176 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 It's also not true.I'm aware.Last year Leonardo DiCaprio made 3,973 times more than Shake. Approximately. Link to post Share on other sites
strategy 4 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 That's awesome. More info, please.here's the listing:http://www.ancientimports.com/cgi-bin/lotinfo.pl?id=26331marcus aurelius is the old emperor from the movie gladiator. 'armeniacus' is the title he gave himself for a victory in modern-day armenia over parthia. pretty common issue, but the detail on it is insane. the web admin for that dealer is a really, really good friend of mine. the ancient coin market is rife with fakes, and I don't have an eye for these things, so I feel like it's a terrible idea to just buy at random from ebay.the US dime is actually the exact same size as the roman denarius. I took this with a point and shoot camera this summer, it's all of my roman stuff plus a $2.5 US coin. Link to post Share on other sites

Tiltinagain 973 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yeah, that's not it.It may not be IT but It's part of it. I don't know what you listen to or watch but other than randomly hearing that Tom Cruise made $20 mil for some movie or something I rarely hear what movie stars make. I think when you do hear about it it's a half educated guess or "according to sources" type of information. With the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL contracts are spelled out, disected and dissiminated on every sports tv and radio show when they're signed. And then you hear about the contract all year long. When a guy is playing good we hear how he's living up to that $$$ contract and when he's not we hear "he's really been struggling since signing that $$$ contract".I thought he made a movie last year.Heh Link to post Share on other sites

I had no idea it was that easy to just go out and buy ancient greek and roman shit. everything on that site guaranteed somehow?and back to talking about me: I've also realized in these thoughts about moving into an apartment just how much shit I have that I wouldn't be able to take. even past my grill and canoe and big things like that, there's my guitars that take up a lot of room, old clothes that I still have "in case I'll need them again" that I'd have to get rid of, all my weights and workout equipment and stuff, then all my guns that I'd have to keep unlocked in an apartment closet or something. looked on the website of the apartment complex I'm thinking about but didn't see anything about storage units. hey steve, how much do storage units at apartments usually run? I don't like giving up/throwing away my stuff.and I still don't know why I'm doing all this planning/research for an action that would require a near miracle of a raise for it to happen, but oh wellz.

I had no idea it was that easy to just go out and buy ancient greek and roman shit. everything on that site guaranteed somehow?yeah, most dealers have a refund policy on fakes. it does happen from time to time, because all of these were made in a pretty low-tech way. my friend (the web admin) told me about a time when a fake had fooled a bunch of dealers. this guy looked at his inventory records, found that one had passed through a year or two prior, and refunded the customer.I was also originally very skeptical of the idea, thinking they must surely all be in museums or something. it was the biggest empire in the world for a very long time, and they made a shitload of these coins, which are still occasionally found in massive hordes. I don't have any rare issues, because they do tend to be absurd-expensive in the grades I like. this went for 800k for example. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't like giving up/throwing away my stuff.We have large storage units in the basement for each apartment and we don't charge anything. Some places charge like $25-$30/mo around here. Depending on the size you could go to a local public storage and pay like $40-$60/mo. Link to post Share on other sites

Napa Lite 3,278 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Shake, are you looking for advice or are you venting/doing that thing chicks do where they ask questions, but then tell you're wrong no matter what you tell them? Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 These apartments you were looking at, what was included in the rent? Gas, water, electricity? Some offer wifi, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
iZuma 764 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 not really looking for advice (except for this question from steve here), just bitching abouy how little I make/how stupid I am. steve: website doesn't really say, and I haven't actually contacted anybody, but the sit does say cable and internet "ready" and that there's wifi "acces" so Im guessing nothing is included.

The Ocho 970 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I don't understand. You have a house, or something that resembles a house, that you don't have to pay rent or a mortgage for, but you want to go somewhere and pay someone rent?Are you downplaying how bad this place is?
