Yeh, fast food would want high school kids so they don't have to pay them much >_> You should try Boost if you have one near you. It can get pretty crazy in there but it's easy work. To pass the interview you just have to smile like crazy and act as confident and social as you can. I was lucky to have a good team leader who understood that I didn't like people and so sometimes I get a break from cashier to hide in the washing area lol

Did you have bangs before? I'm cutting mine in the break. I was going to donate my hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths but I'll have to send my hair donation to the States??? (just looked at their site, wtf). The given address saysy "MN 55744," it doesn't look Australian.

@jacob
That's always annoying =_= You should really push for something concrete but don't waste your time. They'll just flail around for a year and probably cancel.

I'm kind of leaning towards "go ahead and do it anyway, but then sell them to someone else later if needed" because I just love my ideas. Although there is one slight problem in that they wanted one part changed, whereas I would prefer to do it the way I originally planned it, sooooo if I do go ahead I might box myself into a corner if they later decide they do want to move forward with the project XD

No boost here.

Our biggest sore is Big W. Like literally biggest.

Yeah I've had bangs before, I just really really got sick of my long hair xD

Huh that does not indeed sound Australian.

*is happy about the activity in this thread*

You look nice, indeed, Lady!

jacob, how old are you again? Aren't you my age or mem's age? How the heck did you manage to become so self-relying and independent? Teach me :mcgrin: :mcgrin: :mcgrin:
*wants to be her own boss and work from home*

Oh wait, it's good I do not work from home, I would get fat as I eat all the time.

And congrats mem on collecting a third set!

*throws more ocnfetti to make Julez even happier about this thread* :mcgrin:

But even if you ate a lot while working from home, you could probably find some time to work out twice a week, right? :mclaugh:
I think jacob is 26? no? :mcblush: #goldfishmemory
Yes, @jacob, teach us :mcsquee:

Thanks Julez XD I'm starting to think maybe I should just mind my own needs and not get any doubles because maybe I spend a little too much time on here XD Yeah, doubt got to me... ;>///>

*is even happier now*

*eats oak cookies from IKEA*
work out? me? aaah I don't know if working from home would make a difference. I consider it good that I do not have to work from home, although, of course, it has it's advantages..

Haha probably you should now xD

Ooh, are the cookies good? :mcshock:
Everything has advantages and disadvantages. :qwhee: #chinesewisdom lol

Can't stop throwing water balloons tho :mcargh: And chatting, even though I definitely post less this month. at least compared to last month XD Average 27 vs. average 23... hmm, not a big difference tho... Maybe I'm talkative here even if I don't feel too chatty... :qoops: Mem's guide how to contradict yourself: say you're not too chatty - chat a lot :mcargh:

Yes, I'm 26 ^^ 27 really soon though. How I did it was basically I was on a very tight budget when I started out and made a lot of financial mistakes (well, you could call them mistakes, but I would stand by them today) in the beginning. So I had a while of being so poor I couldn't afford to eat more than biscuits, I lost a stone just through being that hungry all the time, and I actually cried with relief one time when my parents came to visit and bought me some groceries. At that time I was also working probably 13 plus hours a day from the home office that the company set me up in just to earn a tiny wage, and working so hard that my hands cramped up so badly I couldn't sleep with the pain. Then I was like, screw this and started up on my own. Not wanting to be that poor ever again and also not wanting to take that much shit from anyone ever again, plus the awful experience of working in an office that I had when I took a short break from working from home, means I feel pretty determined to make money no matter what. I don't say "oh that job's too small for me" or anything like that if I have an opportunity to make a little money. I'm not ashamed to go back and work on reception even if it means people might think I'm not doing too well or something, they can think what they like if I'm getting paid. I won't turn down work even if it means doing late nights and early mornings for weeks in a row if I'm getting paid. I won't stop working even if it means not working out, not cleaning the house, not eating properly, not taking a shower for a couple of days, not getting dressed because I need those extra five minutes to complete an assignment. Work comes first and I take a break when there's a break in the work. I'm the hardest boss I've ever had to work for.

TL;DR: get to your lowest possible point and then the will to never be there again is stronger than any other force in your life 8D
