  • Why oh why don't I learn

    So, I'm officially working at the hotel again. Seriously, what did I do to deserve this. No, I didn't leave the other place, I'm now working two jobs.
    Sadly the manager there knows exactly what buttons to press. He knew damned well the semester was ending and that he had an employee he needed to get rid of, and he knows tuition is going up next semester and that pointing out that a second job will go greatly towards paying for next years tuition and that it saves him having to find a new employee for three months. And I was caught hook line and sinker
    I guess we can expect an increase in postings from me now

        Two jobs AND school, you won't have *time* to post.

        Good luck.
        Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.

          the hotel is only between semesters, the owner wants me to come in for a few months because they know I'll actually be there a few months (that's how bad their turnover is).

            I have nothing to ad except seeing that sentiment coupled with your avatar is rather... unsettling, somehow.

              Just pretend that Smiley is a bunny, Andara, and you won't find it so unsettling.

              ....okay, well, maybe not that FIRST bunny....is the second one still alive?

                Oh. Yeah. That makes it all better. Thanks!

                And, yes, the second one is very much still alive. You need to get up to date, Mr Pony.

                        Smiley, darling, I'd like to introduce you to an awesome little word called "NO". It'll come in handy. Use it wisely.

                          right now though the hotel is the only place within the county that I have a rehireable status at (not counting the place I work at now, I assume that I will keep rehireable status there), so I need to do everything in my power to kiss their asses and keep them liking me just in case.

                            You have "no rehire" status everywhere else?
