Don't mind me. Just a little round of insomnia tonight. I even took a sleep aid. I've tried stretching really well too. I just can't get comfortable and my mind is racing. It's been this way for the past few days. I work at the ER tomorrow night, so I might ask the doctor that working to write me a script for Ambien or something.

Recommend one! This is pretty easy grunt-level data entry stuff, with maybe a bit of image editing. The only catch is they need to be able to work from a Japanese site, but at a level that could be done with Google Translate I think.

Great news, Green Man. Unemployment as a main breadwinner is really stressful. Glad to hear things getting better.

Yeah. My younger bro hasn't had steady full-time employment since coming back from Afghanistan almost two years ago. He's wanted to follow my footsteps and become a cop, but everyone slowed down their recruitment and he hasn't been able to get on any force.

He's currently an on-call mail delivery guy, plus doing his part-time Reserves work. Has been off and on Unemployment a couple of times now. and they've got a kid on the way. $:-\$

Holy cow. Has he applied to other police departments, perhaps further away?

Okay, let's try this: Ya ya, TL:DR. Gets better closer to the end when I start to lost my shit at an obvious bot:

I got the same kind of shit when I tried asking some very simple questions about a laptop I wanted to order from HP last weekend. Same thing...I was like "what is the difference between these two models?" And five minutes later, the response was "I understand that you would like to know what the difference is."

Unfortunately calling their customer service was no better. They were AWFUL and didn't have the best grasp of the English language. I work tech support myself so this really made me appreciate how everyone where I am CAN SPEAK AND UNDERSTAND ENGLISH.

yup. more convenient too. I get a look at the whole menu and all the specials going on, not to mention all the coupons available. Unfortunately, my zip code changed about a year ago so none of the pizza places near me recognize the new one OR the old one so I have to call

If everyone orders their pizzas online, who's dishes will drew wash?

The Sceneman · « **Reply #6396 on:** March 01, 2011, 06:44:00 PM »

I will elaborate.

I am designing a website for a fictional pizza shop which only has one outlet, a small business. Thus the website is basic and just has some brief information about the shop, a menu and a phone number.

The purpose of the exercise is thinking about navigational hierarchy, and producing a design to a specified brief - taking into account user demographics and the like.

And I agree with Spencer, I like going through all the toppings and sides and assembling my order at my own pace. Pizza Hut often has bonuses when your order online too, like free fries or garlic bread.

I haven't been keen on papa johns since I ate it about 8 months ago and I didn't shit right for a week after. It's always tasted better IMO but the desire for it just isn't there anymore.

Pizza Hut has always been good to me too. It's always been good in the sense that McDonald's is good. Crazy fake, but crazy awesome. And their wings are pretty kick ass. My favorite order is an order of buffalo wings, a stuffed crust pepperoni pizza and then dipping the crust in the leftover buffalo sauce. Kick...Ass...

Mupepe · « **Reply #6406 on:** March 02, 2011, 02:07:03 PM »

the cheese is freak cheese too. when I took the management class while working there, I found out it's engineered to expand 6 fold. When they make the pizza, they put a ridiculously small amount of cheese and when it comes out of the oven it's covered.

A full-time position at my hospital just came open (the stupid bitch finally got herself fired) and I'm going to put in for it. I should be a shoe-in for the job. Also, my wife is getting interviewed as I write this for a management job in her company. Her old store manager recommended her for it and she didn't even know it. Everyone apparently fails the first time when getting interviewed for a management job when coming from inside the company. She was told they would ask her a lot of company related questions and only give her a few moments to answer. It sounds like a grilling to me, but an opportunity is an opportunity.

Wish us luck!
