I just wish that Zecora showed up more often. I don't really care much about her origin, but she needs more screentime.

@Japanese Teeth Same, we all need a bit of Zecora in the next season. That along with maybe Cheerlie I guess.

What's the average chapter length, again? 800 words?

Anywhere from 500-1000 is the goal.

Good, because I'm at ~490 and I'm not sure how much longer I can keep this gimmick conceit going.

Definitely need some more Cheerilee and Zecora on the show.

I've been searching for a job for a while now. Nothing's panned out yet, but today I heard back from one of the jobs I applied to, and this really takes the cake.

The job in question is essentially a bookkeeping job that keeps track of inventory moving between company locations. It's part time, $16 an hour. I only really applied to it because I fit all the qualifications (hell, it didn't even require a degree, just a high school education) and because I might as well try to have some source of income while I look for a real job.

I was called today by the people who posted the job. We talked a bit about the job details, and my qualifications for it, when they said this (paraphrased):

Them: "So, how much experience do you have with keeping track of inventory and shipping?"
Me: "Well, I have experience performing the annual inventory for a hospital."
Them: "Is that so? Well, we're looking for someone (they actually said this) with a few years' experience with inventory and shipping."

The call ended shortly thereafter.

They want a few years' experience. For a part-time job that doesn't even require a degree. And only pays $16 an hour. And only lasts about half a year.

This is the stupidest thing I've heard yet on this hunt.

^^ That's the problem with the current economy. There are so many people out of work, companies can demand people with years of professional experience for entry level positions and get them. I'm in the same damn boat; all I've got on my resume is food service.

Or, alternatively,

"We don't like you, but rather than risk you claiming discrimination or challenging our decision in any way we're going to invent a requirement you don't meet so we have an out on you."

Just to nitpick, $16 an hour isn't too bad for me, unless you're talking like Canadian dollars or something. I only make a little over $8.

CND is sitting pretty good on the world stage now, actually. Actually slightly above the USD.

And minimum, depending where you are in the country, is anywhere from like, 9-12 CND per hour. I think I make around $11.75, myself.

Yeah, I was pretty stoked to get a job that pays $16 an hour. It definitely sounds like good pay for an inventory position, though being part time would be an issue.

Still, asking for multiple years experience for a job that doesn't even require a college degree sounds silly.

I agree that $16 an hour is better than a lot of other things I've seen, but the issue was that it's a simple job that if anything, I'm overqualified for. In fact, the job was referred to me on that exact basis. For them to tell me that I don't meet their requirements is a bit mind-boggling.

Man, remember back when employers would actually turn you down if you were overqualified? Now you're not overqualified enough.

Kyuu

Another drawing. I think I'm going to try to shade this one.

[down]I have no experience with this 'job' thing you speak of, being still in highschool.

Yeah, requiring years of experience for something like that is dumb, I just thought that $16 an hour is honestly pretty good. That's almost twice what I'm making right now.

Yeah, we actually have trope page on it.

IT sounds like a lot of fun, though it'd be difficult to find people to play it with, I should think.

We should do it at the next TroperCon.

Which is a thing that doesn't exist, but it totally should.

The idea sounded fun, then I got depressed because I can't read the text on the motherbucing graphics.
