You stonewall your interview questions like this, and are surprised you're having a hard time finding work? Brother I say this from a place of *constructive criticism* (yes, there is definitely such a thing): You are trying to give your interviewer answers that will satisfy them, not shut them down dismissively. The constructive part here is that I'm trying to give you a pointer that will help you for the future while pointing out what likely didn't work. That is what constructive criticism is.

 I'm responsible for hiring at my company, and if someone answered my interview questions like this, I'd just thank them and end the interview there. I'm looking for engagement and interest. If you don't have that, you're wasting both of our time.

Also… I have never worked with anyone that said I was not the hardest working person they have ever met. I put my all into a job. I make sure that I work harder than anyone and I make sure I attend to everyone’s needs.

Well, I got the job. I didn’t think I would. I definitely didn’t deserve it. They gave me a chance and it’s worked out well for all of us. I will take this advice and try to use it in future endeavors. 
I didn’t know how to answer that question.I worked at a place for a very long time and nobody ever questioned me or had any criticism. I ran a place that needed me and my “expertise”. 
This new job is a learning experience.

i will be better.

I’m always shocked I get pinged in things like this .

I am grateful though.
Thank you @ZeldaFreak

I stopped reading here, because I just know that this story turns into a porno.  Starring Richardhead.

Well, one is older and married. The other is young and I’m a serious relationship.  Unfortunately, I’m not really interested in work relationships right now. I’m still trying to figure out how to do my job

@Richardhead congrats! That's wonderful to hear

Thanks. It’s been quiet the rollercoaster and I’ve had fun doing it. 

Just an update here. It is exactly 7 month today that I started my first day at a new job. It’s been a damn rollercoaster.

I tanked the interview and by happenstance, I got the job anyways. It was for grocery/bulk/dairy/frozen assistant at a small grocery store. The interview was crazy. There were three people interviewing me (there was supposed to be 4). The store manager, the grocery/bulk manager and the dairy frozen manager all sat me in this small office and asked me some crazy questions that I couldn’t answer. The SM didn’t want to hire me but the two girls that run the respective departments were desperate to have an assistant. So they talked him into hiring me. Had the assistant manager been on time to work that day, I would have not got the job.

I really liked the position a lot. My bosses were awesome at training me and they both liked me a lot(still do). I got good at the job pretty quickly and the work was easy for me, even though I had never worked at a grocery store before and had no clue what I was doing. 

About a month ago, the dairy/frozen manager moved to receiving and they offered me her position. I took the job of course and it was going fantastic. Welp…. The fucking power went out 2 Fridays ago and stayed out for 16 hours. It completely wiped out my department. I’ve been so behind ever since. Anyhow, everyone from all the other departments put all their shit on hold to help me recover. They offered me as much OT as I wanted and I am now almost caught up. Maybe another week.

The benefits here are great. So is the health insurance. My coworkers are all great people. We are like a little family, almost a bit cultish. We are all hopped up on vitamins and we are always looking out for each other in and out of work. 
I honestly never imagined things could be going this well 7 months ago.

I wish I’d have left my last job 7 years ago.

Thats my little update for now. Thanks for reading

Ah yes it was a crappy TV show (does anybody still watch TV???) where some seriuz byznyzmyn were arguing about retro video game prices. Thanks for reminding me the name, it was storage wars. I found the clip in question but I misspoke a bit, it went "you know what I will let it go for 5000 dollars....... or 5 dollars!!"

 

And the old classic

 

I still watch tv. I watch the local news almost every morning and I keep the tv on while I’m gone to keep Mr. Pickles occupied.

Thanks for your kind words but nah I'm not upset at this point and it doesn't put me off from playing in the future. I'm laughing right now because this thread turned into the most clownish shitshow of the year

You’re welcome

Come on man, sleeping with married women?  Ruining relationships, destroying lives, kids losing their Fathers?  You've made the world a worse place just for having lived...

There are always 3 sides to these stories. Maybe even more.

Hey man, you asked; you literally asked!  So there's your answer in that thread right there.  What kind of man are you?  Simple answer: the lowest of the low.

Lowest of the low….. ???

I can think of people that are much “lower” than me. I will start with pedo’s.

You’re up next. What kind of person do you think might be “lower” than me?

Hey if we're jumping in and defending people.

 

Rich and I have had our differences. But he's a stand up dude and more often than not was the only light during some of my darkest days. More than willing to always offer help even if it puts him out. 

 

This thread is nearly as silly as REKT at this point. Imma send out a championship prize pack. Probably lurk some other threads and disappear into oblivion again. Maybe. 

Goddammit!

Now we have to be friends again! 

 

Just now, Dr. Morbis said:

This kind:

 

Hmm…. What’s that have to do with anything? You acted like I was some sort of “man” that only you saw. I posted this for the whole VAGS to see. 
I can post more threads and comments i have made if you’d like. Maybe save you the trouble of proving what kind of “man” I am.

Just barely ?
You still didn’t tell me what kind of “man” I am. I’m very curious.

Naw man, if even one delicate flower were to wilt due to something I've written on the internet, I won't be able to live with myself...

You lose and call the better player a cheater and I’m the delicate flower ? 

Do you have a mirror? Do you have a black kettle ? Are you a pot ? 
 

I was really hoping to get a 9 paragraph post oot of you like you gave @BlackVega

Such a disappointment.

Fair enough.  I'll take some time to think about it over the winter and let you know in the spring what I decide.  The last thing I want to do is get in the way of your attendance in the NES weeklies...

Oh please continue playing. We all know you have some more cheating accusations to throw around.

ow it's cool that you posted an emulator video, but in this crazy age of deep-fakes and AI and TAS's and all that stuff you'll forgive me for not putting too much credence in your video, especially when a menu with words like, "config, tools, and debug" are staring back at me through the entire playthrough.

Lemme guess…. The kids and parents in school shootings are crisis actors…

I play most of my games using a powerpak, I’m an emulator scum. I follow the rules set by the contest mods, I’m point scumming….. 

Im aboot to make some tacos with meat cooked in an instant pot, I’m cook scumming. When does it end ?

I’m gonna have to go back through every contest thread for the year to see how many times I played all week long, just to have the doctor beat me by a few points or completely crush my score. 
I think he’s the real cheat. You know, since we are now calling people who are better than us cheats.

I mean, why not?  If something smells fishy, it's probably fish.  The burden of proof should be on the accused, and personally, I'd rather know who my accuser confront me face to face.  That said, the good doctor is a hyper competitive dude IRL, and is very outspoken when he thinks he's been wronged, whether or not he actually was.  Honestly, short of people posting their full runs, he's always going to think shenanigans are involved when he gets beat by a wide margin.

I’m guessing he’s real fun at parties.

  Being competitive doesn’t mean you have to hijack a contest thread with accusations of cheating, and to call people using emulators scum ( or something along those lines) is an absolute garbage thing to do. 
If he doesn’t  like an honor based forum contest, then maybe he shouldn’t play. Maybe it’s time to bow oot and do something else. 

I won’t play anymore of these games if he’s involved. The things he says leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It’s like shit talking but more personal.

While scrolling the glorious land of youtub before bed I just stumbled upon something that completely counters this entire club and I figured posting just this 1 thing of these vibes might be a good idea but it's enough. Seriously this one is such a gem of this obscure genre. If you have some time on your hands go ahead but if you REALLY are eating or sick to your stomach I advise you don't watch. Either way you have been warned

 

You damn cheater
