Turkey, I was done with this after I banned you and your spamming friends from the forum, who came here with nothing but the intention of posting pointless crap. Can you honestly say the topic in question was not a load of complete bollocks? You seem to be the one who wants to take this further, and frankly I can't be arsed, especially after you're completely two-faced posts here and on your own forum. I told you all to fuck off not because of your typing skills, but because the topic was complete and utter bollocks and seemed to be there for no reason than to waste bandwidth.

Btw, when I say I am the writer, and you attempt to insult me by saying "drawing is the only thing in your life" it makes you look like you were not paying any attention

The random capitalisation of "Act" and the mispaced "anymore" were typographical errors, I will admit. Yourselves was used incorrectly.

I try to type properly and make myself understood as I believe it is the best way to get my point across. Only typing shit like "OMG LOL TH4T ROCKS U ROOL!" irritates me because quite frankly, it really doesn't say anything and the person who wrote it is obviously just being lazy.

Now honestly, what the caused your group to come and start that pointless topic in the first place? I suspect it was friday's comic, and if it was...well it leaves me quite speechless that someone could be offended by that.

We're just getting under your skin because people like you have shitty lives and try to take your unhappiness out on others. I hate stupidity (quite possibly) more than you, and yet I understand that it is an unavoidable facet of human existence. I try to live accordingly, and assist those who are impaired. Also, spam is a way of life. It may be useless, but it is fun, and is social interaction not a form of entertainment and communication?

By the way, corrections are in bold.

Well thank you for the corrections, but you didn't address my questions. Though I believe "further" and "farther" are interchangeable.

And I assume you have evidence to back up this "shitty life" comment?

Four points to the newbie in the job:

1) Your boss, no matter how initially nice they appear will be a bastard/bitch
2) You will be lumped with all the worst jobs untill someone else joins the company.
3) You co-workers will all tell you what you should do but that will differ from person to person, therefore your always doing something wrong in someone's eyes.
4) Everything will be your fault, even if it's not.


Sage advice. And so completely true it's not even funny... The only thing to look forward to is seeing them hire some other sucker and no longer having to work ALL the worst jobs.

Of course, reading your later post(s?), it looks like you're well on your way to finding all this out for yourself.

I'm curious, however. Directed at everyone else here: is your boss the in-your-face type jerk, or the lying bastard described by EC? Mine definitely leans toward the fake smile type who will ask how you're doing using the same breath they fire you with...

He leans mostly towards just being an all-around bastard if anything. Mostly I try to ignore his really asnine comment. Yes, he is the type that will sit there while you're busting your ass trying to lift something or just generaly minding the store and make these really smart comments on your efforts. Also Maj. Turkey, stop trying to be a martyr/troll. It's annoying as hell, and it doesn't help your arguments when they're so long and boring, people just glaze right over them.

@ EC: Yeah, I have a feeling your boss is the kind whose job description is to make his underlings go insane very, very slowly.

@ Hex: No problem. You see, I base the "shitty life" comment on the fact that you go to a school which has Valentine's Day off (which I can't think of any schools around here that do that; they have academics much higher on their priority lists), and that you write webcomics. And write them poorly. Also, you bite flamebait like a fat kid bites into a piece of fried chicken.

I'm really not that bad a person, I just feel like getting under your skin for something as trivial as this. Perhaps you'll find out that it's not worth defending and you'll just stop, at which point I'll go back to forums that aren't boring. At any rate, I'd love to stay and chat, but I've got a midterm to study for before a Valentine's Day date tonight. :<_<:

BACK ON TOPIC... (PMs would really be nice. Another perfectly good topic derailed.)

I work two jobs. I have in-your-face bosses with one of them because the business is fast food. I was lied to about my hourly wage. They work me, but they actually go down and schedule my breaks during work hours. There are moments were I do not feel like taking a break (even though it's fast-paced).
The other is a low-staff job at a convenience store. Prices are high. Wage is virtually the same here, but it's much more laid-back. I don't conform to a uniform, and the boss is nice. At least, on the surface.
What surprised me about this boss, though, is that he deals with my newbish mistakes. If we have a slow moment, he enjoys what I do with it (given the side-work's done).
Not sure what to think of this, because for the most part both of them have been very fair to me. Though the military training of all of seven months surely helped.

As for the first line I posted, excuse me for my mod'ing tendencies. They might spill over into other forums, since I do do work at another forum. [Grammar watchers: double-do intentional]

Funny, since the guy is 21, and is a University student. So please, do be a sport and don't talk out of your arse.

A note: anymore, as used here, is nonstandard english. similar to alot being wrong, and a lot being correct. Anymore may be used in the sense of any longer if you're from the midwestern US, last I checked, you were from the UK, so it's just plain wrong.

Similar needed a capital letter. Beginning of a sentence an' all.

Okay, no one said we had to be perfect -- but, just wondering, why are we talking about this when it can be discussed on this next-door topic here?

I would rather be hearing about your bosses for pricks than this crap.
No offense to anyone who takes any.

E.B does NOT exist in the UK. I never said I worked at E.B, ever.

E.B? Electronics Boutique, right?

If I'm not mistaken, that got bought out by GAME over here a few years back.

I'm doing fine, given that my boss is a complete jack ass and all. He's one of those people that loves getting under your skin and festering there like an open wound. He also an ass to some of the customers too. Personally I want to belt him across his face each time he opens his mouth. He also bitched about me getting to do all the easy stuff for the time I couldn't use my hand because of the snake bite. Of all the people in this county, why the hell did that damn snake have to stake his territory in my yard? Why couldn't he have chosen my employers house? Who by the way lives like 10 miles from the nearest hospital, while I'm closer to 30.

I've always wondered why bosses in shops act like unbelievable tools. I reckon that the less power someone has, the more it goes to their heads. Ah well, hope your hand gets better EC. How are the other people that you work with? Getting on well with your workmates is a great to combat an evil boss.
