Sweet.

I forget, what bike do you have?

[QUOTE=FunkMetalBass;17498634]Sweet.

A frankenstein road bike.
I currently have an all black Raleigh road frame, Sram Courier crankset, Easton alloy drop handlebars and a Shimano Acera rear derailleur. The wheels are Ambrosio Excellence rims, a Dura Ace hub in the front and a Shimano Ultegra hub in the rear. I've ordered Shimano 105 brakes, which should be here on Monday.

have you checked craigslist yet?

Fredericton doesn't have a Craigslist. I've checked Kijiji, but most of it is either senior care, child care, or people going "I HAVE A GREAT RESUME PLZ HYRE MEEE!!1!"

I looked in both the Federal and Provincial job banks, as well, but nothing that I'm qualified for.

My family friend just got fired from that job. I don't know where she's supposed to turn now.

I don't really want to work unreasonable hours (i.e. not past midnight if I can help it, preferably closer to 9 or 10), so bartending is particularly appealing.

I'm trying to hold off on retail, but it might come to that.

Another agency?

There's like half a dozen within two minutes of each other in our city centre, and loads more besides.

Work as a security guard.

k Vin Diesel

New Spector Legend 6 in today. Feels great, balances really well, and the action is great.

Now I just need to give it a re-finish to really let that bubinga shine through.

EDIT: I wish my finger wasn't still broken. It's gonna be months before it'll be fully healed and my playing is back where it needs to be.

[QUOTE=FunkMetalBass;17498569]EDIT: I have no idea why I quoted you on that. I think it was an accident.[/QUOTE]


I was wondering that too :lol:.

These 15 hour days will be the end of me.

Man I'd love some 15 hour shifts at work.

Tea spoon of cement funky.

I think my kidney is failing.

Which one?

Definitely the left.

Just transfer your waste to the right one.

[quote=funkyhoney;17500411]Definitely the left.[/quote]

Next time you binge drink, lay on your right side.

Problem solved. Next case?

Guv'ment came and took mah baby.

I'm driknig right now! HAH!

Oh wow, I just saw an SMS porn ad, it said "secretary? more like SEXretary!"

What a good ****ing pun. Amateur ****wits.

And then I wrote this on my works FB page because I had a long day.






There are a lot of things that make me want to shank people at random, but at about the 12/13 hour mark they start to tug at my negative emotions a lot harder. So I made a list.

What's that? It's the sound of the ****-head-mobile pulling in to catch the tallie express!

- When customers demand to have a carry bag for trivial and/or single items. One can does not warrant a carry bag in any way shape or form; when you're at the point of buying single cans no one is going to care if you drink it in public. Conversely, it also irks me when people obviously on some ill-devised 'save the planet' tirade buy three 6packs of beer and claim they do not want a carry bag, not even one. Don't complain to me when you drop them, moron, all you'll get from me is a disgruntled look.

- "What radio station is this?" a question that makes my brain hurt. Not only is it moronic as a corporate company owned by Woolworths (which ironically enough also has its own radio station, surprise!) would surely pump it's own music so it can litter the airplay with ads, but the music itself is almost always some generic pop or overplayed trash and could be heard on *any* radio station - making the question redundant.

- When customers are unable to grasp the concept that a speed-of-light swipe of their cards isn't always the best way to make a dodgy card (in desperate need of replacement, a free service that banks provide) operate correctly. Slowing down the motion so the sensor actually knows that something has passed by usually solves this head scratcher.

- Sometimes after working for upwards of 6 hours at a time my feet get a bit sore from the constant standing and moving heavy stock around and I feel the need to sit down and take the weight off them. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem possible to do this without attracting the attention of a handful of local half-wits who like to point out the 'fact' that I am "lazy". I'm sorry if your 20 years of wearing pluggers and forgoing medical care has developed you some kind of perpetual callous in your joints and ligaments, but I like real shoes and orthopaedic care.

- Customers often come in and exhibit some kind of abhorrent behaviour. Usually I try to ignore this, but the things that usually stimulates my spinal chord is doing kicks, twirls, jumps or playing grab-*** in the isles. It is important to remember that this is a liquor store. This kind of behaviour generally induces a mighty yawn from me and generally a polite "shut the **** up and stop what you are doing". When they come over and ask me why I'm 'thuch a thpoil thport,' I generally respond by informing them it is not my job to be their friend, or be nice to them if they annoy me.

- If you precede a question by saying "I know this is a stupid question, but..." it's safe to assume you will not get a legitimate answer from me because I am too busy trying to understand your incomprehensible idiocy in my head. My furrowed brows and angry demeanour will testify to this.

- I have nothing to do with the price of items in any of the stores I work at. Also, all the prices are universal all over the state. Complaining at me will make no difference to this and will head you down the path to a cool boot in the face.

- If you have somehow been spurned in the past by an employee at a bottle shop, I don't need to hear about it. By stating that you "need" a receipt because you've been ripped off before due to your own idiocy, you are making a judgement call about me. And it's not a good one, kindly die. I'm not going to rip you off for a 6pack, I have better thing to do with my life, like keeping my income stable.

- When customers purchase 6 bottles of the same kind of wine to get the best price possible and they take all 6 out of the fridge as if it is possible to consume that much liquor in the time it would take for one bottle to become chilled in the fridge. Also, taking the last item from the fridge and asking me if there is any more cold items is moronic, if there was no such thing as pity I'd have nothing but contempt for you.

- Coming in and demanding a product that I have never heard of, is not in our computer system, you don't have any idea about and refuse to look for isn't the best way to actually find something. It is the best way to get a cup of shut the **** up, however. Nothing irks me more than someone coming in and asking "what's good" or "what's on special", taste is subjective and the specials are clearly marked, grow a ****ing brain.

I would ask you "what's good?" because I'm rather new to the whole alcohol business. However, it would be phrased more like this:

"Excuse, me, sir. I'm looking for a bottle of spiced rum, but not Captain Morgan. What else would you suggest?"

Then after I make my purchase:

"Thank you, valued employee with a trusted opinion who took time out of his busy work schedule to help me find a delicious bottle of Sailor Jerry. I greatly appreciate you and the services you offer. Please, sit back and rest those tired feet - you've earned it."
