The situation described is exactly what happened to me. I had a horrible contract job and called my recruiter to tell him I wanted out but would stay on through the end of that month (about 2 weeks) since there were things I wanted to finish up. Instead of telling me that the demon of a manager just axed whoever…

Exactly. I've been looking for a new job and apparently you need 2 years of experience to do my job (comparing listings for jobs like mine to what I have now). The job in which you can learn pretty much everything in one day because it's a friggin entry level job. Others asking for 5 years and then list the pay…

Essentially. Right now it's kind of tough too since they know they have their pick of the unemployed. :/

Good point. Wish I had thought of that for the interview for my current job.

Turnover rate is a huge one. Then ask why it's so high if it is or why the position is open. That should give you some good indications about the company right there.

I feel the same way. I usually buy everything I can but a lot of stuff (anime, Japanese music, games, etc.) is either never brought over or is incredibly expensive to import.

My boyfriend loooves Wild Arms 3. I got it for him for Christmas a couple years ago.

You make a good point there! I played a few patched things back in the day to varying success but it was better'n nothing.

Thank you for being the voice of reason. I seriously just meant that it just doesn't work for 100% of people and yet that seems to be too hard to comprehend. For me, I find that going for walks sparks some ideas just as much as standing in the shower does so I'd venture to say that's far more likely to be my go-to…

I never got around to playing that but I just looked it up... it has the voice actors for the original Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh dubs and I kinda want to play it just for that. :I

Even so, for what we missed we still got quite a few. Though it'd be nice to go back and see some of the ones we didn't get released as downloads.

I miss the PS2 era where seemingly every wacky JRPG was brought over. If we got more PC/Mac/Linux ports/originals for decent prices I think we could revive that, "I have no idea what this game is but let's try it" thought process. The DS has been a great spot for JRPGs but after a while you really want to play…

I really don't understand why it HAS to work for me. I tried it and found it just doesn't work for me. I said if it works for others, then great. They've found something in it that I didn't. If it doesn't work for me, why should I force it to? For a bunch of people who meditate everyone seems to be pretty damn…

I tried different lengths of time, sat in different areas, whatever was suggested. It just made me feel like taking a nap. Like I said, it works for some people. It doesn't have to work for everyone.

It's definitely a Your Mileage May Vary sort of thing. I've tried it but it hasn't helped me a single lick. Other people swear by it. It's just one of those things you should try before you decide whether or not it's worth it.

That's not really what I was going for, but sure. And to value the company as highly as upper management does they have to make it worth something to us drones. The fact that they don't means that we don't care. The owner also is never here and doesn't even know most of our names. I'm also not moving up in this…

It is and I'm not surprised by it either.

Ugh, that is awful. If you're going to bother with catering you'd think they'd have some form of free booze.

I figured they would but they didn't adjust for the office workers. The plant workers were already off the clock when the party started so I guess no one thought to double check payroll.

Our Christmas party is a potluck since management is cheap (they catered it -once- years before I ever started). The woman in the office who "organizes" it has brought the easiest possible dish the two years I've been here. It's also during work hours and I got docked because I clocked out when the party was over 15…
