anyone got job?
Its been a long run at my current job, I've been working there since June 1st, 2004, but the time has come to move on. I have a lot of payments to make to places and people, and I'm just not making enough. I started at $7 an hour and in three years, I've gotten two raises bringing it up to $7.75. I need to be making like $9 an hour at the least. I offered to stay at the camera shop if they pay me $8.50 an hour, but I don't think that is going to happen.
Fun story from work, though! I'm allowed to bring my laptop in to kill time, which is really nice, by the way (one of the things I'll miss when I get a real job). I was in the middle of playing Mario RPG on my SNES emulator and I get a holler from an extremely excited customer around the corner: "hey boys check this SHIT OUT!" So my brah Birk and I get up and go over to see what the customer is yelling about. Turns out that he wanted to show us a couple pictures he had shot of two pigs fucking each other. He slapped the picture down on the counter and was like "what do you think of that?!" I said, almost without considering anything, "that definitely is a shot of two pigs fucking, sir." He went on, "yeah see what ya got here is like a 750lb hog, this son-bitch is hella huge! Here is another shot for scale!" The other shot was a shot of the mounting pig standing next to a wheel-barrow. The customer just kept talking, "see what you got here is a hog that can barely walk because he's so FUCKIN FAT but that son-bitch can still take action for some sow ha-ha!"
At this point Birk and I were laughing. We thought this was ridiculous. Because not only was this redneck pretty much yelling everything he told us in the middle of the department store, but this was not the first time he'd come in. He has come in on two separate occasions to print off pictures of these pigs fucking each other. And both times he has called over to us and asked us to check out his fuckin pigs. He's a nice guy and everything, but I think he's nuts. He said, "maybe what you all should do is demo these shots, haha." And I thought, "hm, Birk is quitting next week, I'm quitting as soon as I can...what the hell?" So I took out two of the demo shots in our printer-album that our ex-manager Dave had taken of fireworks and put in two shots of these pigs fucking.
Ok got more to say but I'll say it later because I have to go to the gym AND LIFT WEEEEEIIGHTS (like a thousand)
