"Se taire" is the unconjugated French "shut up," so every time Harle or someone else says it, I die a little inside.

And yeah, I was wondering if I'd just been having hardware failures or something that killed voice acting.  But I should do the Vader thing, this is true.

[Bauglir]

Oh, right, they are pretty bad with languages. ANGELUS ERRARE MEANS "ANGEL TO ERR", APPROXIMATELY*. THEY COULD HAVE AT LEAST CONJUGATED IT IN ANY WAY AT ALL.

*If I'm actually wrong on that one, I'll laugh, although I think I'm being generous with that translation.

I've finally got some work from the agency I signed up to, but I strongly disagree with their frankly despicable business practices and the way they treat customers and staff. But I need the money, and I can't find another job.

What wins, conscience or my genuine need for some cash?

With enough cash, you don't need a conscience.

Ok seriously, do what you have to do to survive and keep looking for an alternative.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Unless you're literally starving to death, I'd say to go with your conscience. It's just as important to be able to live with yourself as it is to generate money for said living.

My big problem is that firstly, I'm a paying member of an organisation that believes in being honest to the customer and serving full measure (which this job actually prohibits!) and secondly, I've been described as a very principled and outspoken (or opinionated and argumentative(or arrogant and aggressive)) person in certain contexts. I'll work as long as I can, but I know that eventually something will push me over the edge, and although I have a fairly long fuse, my temper is somewhat like an on/off switch, with a tiny interim of passive-aggressive grouchiness.

They also don't give non-smokers breaks.

Contact the labor department. With very few exceptions (single operator service stations mostly), you have to be allowed breaks. And like I said, keep looking for alternatives. Try to find a different job, and don't bother telling your currently employer about it until you find one.

A shitty job is still an entry point to a better job. Ironically your chances of being hired go up if you already have, or recently had a job, mainly on account of contacts, an improved schedule and because the guy that hires you can see you've got a schedule and can actually do work. So unless it's the kind of job that's going to tie you down because nobody else would hire you, I'd take it.

It's casual work and it actually pays fairly well for a shitty student-y job, and I do need the money, because I'm eating into my savings, and I get the minumum student loan next year anyway.

[RedKing]

It's excusable if you're in college. College students have to work all kinds of shitty jobs. I think some industries (like telemarketing and pole dancing) exist primarily just to provide employment for broke college students.

I suppose the people I'm serving are drunken gamblers drinking Fosters, so they practically deserve it.

[Heliman]

Received a toady warning >_>
Not my best day.

[Dsarker]

Aw, crap.
And now that my uncle has discovered that I own a tarot deck, the next few days will be about "the dangers of opening oneself to black magic".
I hope I'll manage to stay reasonable, when faced with massive amounts of bible-logic.

Tarot or French Tarot?

[Jopax]

SotS 2 is coming out some five weeks from now and i am pretty much bored with anything i have now i year for a new game, but i have no idea what i would play, any suggestions for a good strategy game, something with an interesting take on some of the mechanics or something.

[Truean]

Wait, Truean, you hired a PI?

...

Woman of steel!

Thank you Vector.

[Blush] I appreciate that, truly, except we both know I'm not steel. Thank you though, all the same. Process server/PI... I guess these are just things around me, honestly....

She helped me a lot emotionally in college. I love her, as much as I can given I don't like women. I am afraid I will have to repay her kindness by doing unbearable--to both of us--things, hopefully not in court.
I still don't entirely understand her motives, how she figured out to give the money back, or why she did.
I feel horrible that this is how things are and horrible that I kept insisting to myself that I solve it alone. Hello pride, my second oldest sin.
