15:26 Xadium! i am in ur chatbox using ur bandwith
15:40 Raihosha He Lives!!!!!
15:43 Raihosha Welcome back Xadium.
15:43 Xadium! Thanks!
15:44 Raihosha So how's life treating you?
15:44 Bucket HAY X
15:45 Bucket I posted a link you might like in the main box, but you'd probably not fully get the gist of it without having played the Phoenix Wright games.
15:45 Xadium! I'll check it out :D
15:49 Raihosha And a belated Happy Birthday.
15:49 Xadium! Thanks :)
15:51 Bucket yeah, same here.
15:51 Bucket Did you do anything special?
15:55 Xadium! nah not really
15:56 Xadium! it was a work day I basically came home and relaxed
15:56 Raihosha From Hotaru's comments, well it sounds like you aren't in love with your job. Hopefully things will get better.
15:57 Xadium! well here's the thing
15:57 Xadium! I'm a tech.
15:57 Xadium! This would be fantastic, IF there was tech work to DO
15:57 Xadium! as it is I am on the sales floor tryingt o sell extended sales plans to people who don't want them
15:57 Bucket I've been there dude
15:57 Xadium! and the ESP numbers are all amanagement cares about
15:58 Xadium! I could give a BLEEP about them
15:58 Xadium! I just want to fix computers
15:58 Bucket ESP numbers?
15:58 Raihosha Well the extended plans aren't worth it, and more and more people know that.
15:58 Xadium! Selling the extended plans
15:58 Xadium! well I dispute that in some cases
15:58 Xadium! I know that an ESP for my laptop would have saved my ass
15:58 Xadium! but for low cost items yeah it makes nos ense
15:58 Raihosha I'll agree that there are cases where it IS worth it.
15:59 Raihosha Dinner time... back later I guess.
15:59 Xadium! later, take care
15:59 Bucket It was like that for me at Radio Shack too. You'd get it for something like a cell phone or one of the more souped up cordlesses they sold.
16:00 Xadium! ESP Numbers are how many plans you sell a week
16:00 Xadium! They don't expect me to sell much because I shoud be in the back working on machines
16:00 Bucket ah
16:00 Xadium! but I see co-workers of mine taking such flack
16:01 Bucket I don't remember having a specific "goal."
16:01 Xadium! and they are good people
16:01 Bucket heh
16:01 Xadium! well we dib't have a goal but we are ranked against otehr stores
16:01 Bucket ah
16:01 Bucket so you're not doing as well as a busier store in another part of the district?
16:01 Xadium! Right ebcause we're BRAND NEW
16:02 Bucket OH.
16:02 Bucket ...I worked in a small town store.
16:02 Bucket It was in a small strip mall.
16:02 Bucket In a small town in NH that was probably as rural as you could get.
16:02 Bucket NH has no sales tax so people would cross the border all the time to snap up stuff at our location
16:02 Xadium! ahh
16:03 Xadium! see we get affluent people here but they penny pinch like mad
16:03 Bucket I had fun working there even if some of my co workers were ****s.
16:03 Xadium! luckily my co-workers are nice
16:03 Bucket We would give people directions to our store by saying "we're next to the state liquor store."
16:03 Xadium! haha
16:04 Bucket I learned a lot, and was able to provide people with lots of info
16:04 Xadium! -nods-
16:05 Bucket I still head by some of the stores in the chain just to see if I run into some of the people I used to work with.
16:05 Bucket unfortunately it looks like the guy that interviewed with me is gone, and the district manager who was AWESOME was also gone
16:05 Xadium! :(
16:05 Bucket The town I worked in was where my mom grew up, and sometimes I'd see people my grandfather knew
16:06 Bucket (I started only a few months after my grandmother passed)
16:06 Xadium! I am getting frustrates because i am supposed to be full time and they are messign with my hours
16:06 Bucket Giving you more or less?
16:06 Xadium! they make me work weekends and then cut my week hours but not enough to give me free days
16:07 Bucket What ended up happening with me was that around the time I left there were only me, Whiny Coworker and Manager Who Wasn't A **** When He Started
16:07 Bucket so while I was a part timer, I had full time hours
16:07 Xadium! ahh
16:08 Bucket It was then when my uncle got a new girlfriend and my mom ******* about "How come she can get a GOOD JOB?" So to please her I applied for a job she found for me while surfing online.
16:08 Bucket THAT job lasted 7 weeks.
16:08 Xadium! :(
16:08 Bucket then I got my current job a few months later
16:08 Bucket (Turns out that we know one of the people who used to work at that job through my parents' book selling, and she did NOT have good things to say about that place.)
16:08 Xadium! ooh.
16:08 Bucket ...so...
16:09 Bucket now I've got a dilemma, I'm starting car searching; the question of being able to afford it is another thing entirely. I'm willing to have peanut butter jelly and get clothes from thrift stores if need be.
16:10 Xadium! ugh
16:10 Xadium! I can barely make rent at this point I dare not think of cars
16:11 Bucket I was just told on Friday that what I drive right now might not last another year, and from its age it's not worth it to repair
16:11 Xadium! ugh
16:11 Xadium! the problem is new ones are SO expensive
16:11 Xadium! it may be better to get a decent used one
16:11 Bucket That's what I'm going to do
16:12 Bucket right now I drive a Hyundai Elantra
16:12 Bucket it's 11 years old
16:13 Xadium! wow.
16:14 Candy I drive a ford tarus that's like 13 and right now doesn't work, YAY! ~_~ yay for bad birthday week...
16:14 Bucket *patpats Candy*
16:16 Candy it might just be a sucky battery, BUT I can't afford a new battery let alone anything really serious with my car or anything in my life
16:16 Bucket How long has it been since you had the battery replaced?
16:18 Candy father says the battery in there is 5+ years old
16:18 Candy it was his battery before it was mine :P
16:18 Xadium! some batterues have lifetime warranties
16:19 Bucket I just had mine replaced because there were a few times this summer when it took a few tries to start.
16:19 Bucket I had my car die on me in a Vermont winter.
16:19 Xadium! :O
16:19 Bucket Don't want it to happen again.
16:19 Candy my car won't start up like its getting no juice BUT all the things of it works fine
16:20 Candy the beep for the key in the dash works like nothing is wrong
16:20 Xadium! could eb the starter or the alternator?
16:20 Candy probably the starter if either of those
16:21 Candy considering he just came over with the charger and charged it up and it still acted like it had no juice
16:21 UltraMatt :( :( :(
16:21 Candy BUT the thing is, this is the second battery it's done it to
16:21 UltraMatt sorry to hear that
16:21 Xadium! yeah then it's the starter or alternator
16:21 Candy it did this before and he switched it out with another (my old battery was actually really bad)
16:21 Xadium! a bad alternator will not let the battery recharge
16:22 Candy but he figured there was enough charge in there to turn it over
16:22 UltraMatt ..wish I could help you
16:22 Candy when he switched it out with another battery it worked like normal
16:22 Xadium! yeah but theat battery might not last long
16:22 Xadium! if it dies soon after then yuo will know
16:23 Candy that and I don't drive my car enough to really charge the thing
16:23 Xadium! ahh that could be it too
16:23 Xadium! that used to be my problem
16:23 Candy so I'm biking to work now
16:23 Candy and that's how it'll be till it gets really cold
16:24 Candy I don't need my car not starting on me in a minnesota winter ~_~
16:24 Candy it also could be the battery cables
16:24 Candy I've had problems with those from day 1
16:24 Bucket Minnesota winter...I wonder how bad that is compared to a Vermont winter
16:25 Candy I remember in grade school all school in minnesota was canceled because of the cold
16:25 Candy with windchill it was 60-70below
16:25 UltraMatt yeah..winters in minnesota can get bad
16:26 Candy that was the same winter no propane tank could get down our driveway cuz of all the snow. We had an awesome snow fort that winter, but also that spring was all the flooding
16:27 Candy lately though winters haven't been nearly as horrible, still bad, but not that bad
16:28 UltraMatt yeah
16:28 Bucket ...I wonder what the winter will be like
16:30 Candy I hope it is mild
16:30 UltraMatt same
16:30 UltraMatt my roomie at college has no winter gear what so ever
16:31 Bucket Xadium, you're so lucky.
16:32 Bucket I have to get myself new clothes...I've dropped a size
16:32 Bucket and I might drop another size if I keep up on WiiFit
16:32 Xadium! I'm lucky?
16:32 Bucket Yeah, you don't really have winter.
16:32 Xadium! Welll...

17:12 UltraMatt .....
17:12 Candy it's the same thing EVERY YEAR
17:12 UltraMatt *feels guilty :( *
17:12 Candy just family...and it bugs me a lot this year
17:13 Candy since my one friend got married she's been MIA
17:13 Candy has no time for any of her non-married friends
17:13 zf heh getting married can do that
17:14 Candy well see if it was just to busy being married it would be understandable, but I hear about all the time she's visiting her family around here (They only live like 6 miles away from me) and they pass right by were I live
17:15 Candy and she has yet to once stop in and say 'hi', hell the last time I saw her I was the one visiting
17:15 Candy I guess my birthday upsets me a lot because it seems like noone has time for me :P even on my birthday
17:16 Candy o well I guess...I'm done ranting
17:16 UltraMatt ......
17:16 zf well not everyone else is happy with that, either, you know
