Don't quit your job until you have another lined up.

Oh trust me, my job sucked. I got hours about as if I was not working.. Did not make enough to deal with the crap

I got yelled at, treated like crap, I am an emotional person and honestly needed to not be there or I was going to have a break down from the poor treatment

Then that's abuse and should be reported to the police.

Lol that's funny tab.

Right now it is an employers market. They tend to get away with more stuff because people are more willing to deal with the bs to make a living. Unless you have some serious concrete evidence it's not worth the headache and hassle. You can always try the department of labor but it's really not worth it. I would say you did the right thing to get out of there. Hopefully you gave your two week notice so you can use them on a resume.

Back in the day, you could get hired being a Felon who smokes pot.

Now they drug everyone*** and do mad background checks.

Definitely the employers have the upper hand currently, and sadly many are against increasing the minimum wage.

Technically I should have gotten a drug test, but I didn't and my boss didn't care.
If you are upset with the minimum wage, then get yourself an education.  Those minimum wage jobs, the people are getting paid what they deserve for the work they are doings.
Or you could just become your own employer and take it into your own hands.

Wow. I'm glad awesome town works so well. Good luck in the real world.

First off you are saying you got by without having to follow the rules.
If getting an education would guarantee you a job (not even gonna compare the minimum wage) all collages would advertise 100% job location after graduation. Look at the top schools and search how many find jobs after. It is a high percentage but not 100%.
Look at most people who open a business fail within three years.

This is just a start. Don't get me wrong there is a lot of hard work required to get a head in life(a little luck and money helps).

Have you been on these boards before? It always happens.

I would say find some way to treat yourself. Unfortunately I don't know much about you or what's around you to make an inexpensive suggestion. Maybe look on line and try to make yourself a meal. To me my cheap fun experience is to play some basketball.

Oh yea @tay. I guess I couldn't read the tone in your writing. I read it as you were saying its easy to do that stuff.

I got a mixed booster box of 6 of each: bng, m14, gtc, dgm, rtr, and ths. Got it for 70 after I traded in some cards for credit.

Nice hope it makes your birthday better. Are you going to do a draft or sealed with some friends?  Also I got dibs on the basics. (Jkjk had to do it). Have a good birthday then.

Happy birthday! Hope it ends up being good. And remember, each day your organs do not spontaneously combust is a good day!

Well we are going to take the 36 packs. Each take one, open, take one card. Then pass right until done. Then same to the left. And then right and so on. Then we each make a 40 card deck and add basics:) but we are going to play a team game. Haha

Post by: ibtrickey on March 13, 2014, 06:29:52 AM
Well since the two head game is based on 60 card decks I was wondering what color deck do you think would do the best with those six sets in there?

That it is so hard to tell what to make until you open. What I have found in most drafts and sealed is whoever has the best mythics or rare will win. Even if they have no great deck or strategy. The last draft I won I packed  {Obzedat, Ghost Council} and  {Aurelia, the Warleader} with a bunch of junk until I could get one out.

Well those two are beast together in a sealed or draft.

We are drafting 9 packs each and making a 60 card deck:)
Title: Re: One more week..
Post by: Rass on March 13, 2014, 08:17:10 PM
Sounds like fun. I find my best sealed/draft decks make them self. When I try to force the cards I do bad.

Rares don't make a deck.  It's the commons  and uncommons that you always have access to that wins the game for you.  Rares just make it easier and gives you colors to focus on.

Commons and uncommons are the cannon fodder until you can drop that bomb. Unless your running a rush deck.
