"For the money" should be an acceptable answer to the question "Why do you want this job?".
Seriously. Especially when its a part time job.
You know Their is good statistical evidence that the face to face interview is the least effective way to determine if an employee will work out or not.

Nutella is marketed as a spread for toast and waffles, when really any self-respecting adult eats it the way nature intended: licking it from the back of a spoon while hiding in the pantry.
Possibly while nekkid.
(Except for me. I don't like it. Hazelnut, blergh.)
I do not lick it from the back of the spoon. And I don’t hide in the pantry. I walk in there openly.
I'm training a new person tonight. First time training someone.How's the training process going? I hope you aren't driven up the wall?
Pretty good no problems so far.

It's a good thing that the British had such a large empire that made English the de facto worldwide language because it turns out that aliens speak English too.
They play cricket, too.

Maybe your just a bad teacher?
I just had her do it and told her what to do while she was doing it.

I believe in hands on teaching. learn as you go. I'll just stand over you and tell you to do things until you don't need me to. Tomorrow I'll just let her go and answer questions as eh does things.

Suay, pronounced as sway is the singlish word for disaster striking lol
Huh that's fun. I was just mimicking a word they used to use on a old cartoon series. Now that I know it has an actual meaning that's even better.

I've been using old s+*&ty brooms for so long, now that I have a new one, I'm not sure how to use it.After nearly 15 years of unbelievably-crappy brooms, I bought a full new set.
So the Impii just broke one of them playing around last night. They're also climbing all over the new furniture, even though they'd outgrown climbing all over the old furniture.
Teenagers. They ruin everything.
Don't tell me that. I just inherited one. :P

So.
Was out sick on Monday. Auditors showed up while I was gone. They finished their review yesterday. The review wasnt good. Although they said it was mostly minor stuff, in the aggregate it could be problematic(and my boss' paranoid views didn't help there). So I stayed until well past closing working on the problem. Resolved some issues. Didnt get home till almost 10. Have more work today, but not nearly as much since I did so much the night before. Naturally, the sky was red this morning(sailors take warning) and is now turning silver. I don't think it would be wise to take the bike. Did I mention I have a training and offsite visit today? And the second job? Yeah, today is going to be rough...

Had a fantastic birthday weekend, a lot of time spent with family and friends, some of whom I hadn't seen in years. And a whole lot of gaming squeezed in as well, a couple new games going to be added to our gaming rotation, methinks. :D
that's good.

Sorry to hear you had such a rough day, and another tough one ahead! Hope it goes as smoothly as it can.

We have a handful of new guys this week, one guy tried telling me his name (T something; Travis, Twitter, I didn't really listen).
He won't last.

you..buy sets of...brooms?
I just buy a new one every new years day, in accordance with tradition.
Corn whisk only. Wooden handle if possible.
Perhaps by "broom set" he means a broom with dustpan, and possibly a smaller broom for nooks and crannies? Or maybe he means that he buys multiple brooms to be spread throughout the house (i.e. one in the kitchen, one in the garage, one for the porch/patio, etc)?
Or it's some kind of rich-person west coast thing.
It's a, "I buy my stuff at Costco" thing. But it was 2 brooms and a dustpan, all plastic and bundled together, and concrete proof that you should NEVER buy plastic brooms.
I'm taking up Freehold's tradition. A new broom at New Year's is easy to remember, and it's gotta be wood.

"For the money" should be an acceptable answer to the question "Why do you want this job?".
Having been on hiring committees for 20+ years now, it is, as long as you've got a good response to, "OK. Well, then, how long do you plan on sticking around?"

Pictures of the work? No. I've had exactly 1 trainee do that, and it was of how the breakfast should look once set up. Besides, pictures wouldn't really help with most of the job.
Oh, there was one who took lots of pictures during the shift. But not of the job. She was taking selfies (duckface and all) and posting them on her InstaWhatever. She kept trying to get me to follow her, too, and couldn't believe that I don't use any social media. (She was in her 50s, by the way.)
What the heck is "duckface"?

So, Shiro and GothBard have taken to going to LOTS of concerts, ranging from Bob Seger to Jethro Tull to Sabaton. I was going along, but I finally declared that I wouldn't do weekday concerts any more (except for Sabaton, 'cause they are awesome).
Last night was the first test of that, with Shiro and GothBard going to see Imagine Dragons at the Concord Pavilion.
Logistics at the place are so bad that some people waited over an hour in traffic to try to get in and were told there was no parking left so they had to leave, and it took Shiro and GothBard over an hour to get out of the parking lot.
So concert --> parking lot jam --> Concord to Fremont --> Fremont to Albany.
GothBard got in at 1:00 am, only because traffic everywhere except the Pavilion was excellent, and has to work today. Shiro got in around 12:15 am, and had a 6:30 am meeting with customers today.
I envy exactly neither of them. I went to bed at 9:00 pm and got almost 9 hours of sleep.
I feel good.
Duckface is Kylo Ren.
Nutella used to be amazing. Then they changed the formula and screwed it up.

Day 400! Woooooooo!
The ONLY way to see a concert at Concord is to take the free shuttle from the BART.
You bypass ALL of the clog and you get to feel very smug.
(That's what we did when we saw Chicago last month.)
