My lexica exude confidence like cartels' Mexicans dispute dominance while this rhyme's ever-increasing prominence brings sick-flow and I to concomitance.

Got hired this week

Posted by Evark - November 1st, 2009

No more bummin' around jobless. Got hired by Gamestop for seasonal employment. What's cool though, is they'll soon be opening a new store closer to home that I'll probably be able to work full-time at, etc. once I've proven that I'm a badass awesome reliable associate.

Even though nobody cares: I'll be recording myself playing some more music soon. The only reason I haven't is because I broke my D string two days after that last recording and have yet to replace it. Tried doing 'Doesn't Remind Me' by Audioslave the other day, but got frustrated after the third attempt 'cause I keep forgetting the words and/or mess up going from the bridge to the chorus and back to the verse again. But, I've re-acclimated to the squier's thin neck again, so I'll probably record that and toss it up in this newspost somewhat soon.

Im comin to buy something from you

Evark

I don't have anything for sale yet.

Baranar

Maybe you should try I Am The Highway instead, the guitar on it shouldn't be too bad for you to at least try.

Also, lmfao@SevenSeize

Evark

Doesn't Remind Me is REAL easy. Except for the solo, of course, but you can just play the chorus twice through the solo, which is easy enough. The difficulty for me is that there is no transition to the last verse from the chorus when you do that. I haven't figured out the timing to do so... but enough explaining details on an instrument you're not so familiar with. : b

I'm looking at the tabs now, and yea they seem simple enough. Good idea 'cause I've always liked that song.

Sinitech

Do it naked this time.

Or not, but I'm pretty sure everyone would be much more impressed.

Evark

It wouldn't really matter much because I'm usualy aiming the webcam at or above my shoulders.

Magical-Zorse

I wish I could work at gamestop, the closest one is really far away

Evark

This isn't even the closest one.

Sinitech

Obvious solution is to do it standing up, regardless of comfort.

Evark

But the camera's already adjusted for shoulder level when I'm sitting. Standing just means I have to adjust the camera again. Seems needless.

Lost-Wisdom

Hah, Gamestop? Very nice.

How the work load doing for you?

Evark

I'll let you know next week, but compared to what I was doing over the summer I'm sure this is going to be easy-going.

Shikamarana

Lol, I've applied at two Gamestops. They didn't get back to me :/

I've heard that Gamestop Employees are soulless, hopefully you will be different, right? I mean I probably wouldn't if I was getting paid I'd do anything, but oh well.

Evark

I'm ridiculously over-qualified for a minimum wage job at retail. Plus, a friend of mine from HS has worked at GameStop for a couple years now; so I got his good recommendation as well.

You believe everything you hear?

WiiFittoToreinaa

do employes there get discounts on games

Evark

I believe so, used anyway. Plus, if I'm working there I can just kinda buy a used game and return it in 7 days after I've finished it. Fuck that, though, I'm way too into Gears of War 2 to play anything else.

Malachy

congrats on the job!

Evark

Thanks yo, got trained today. It was... totally uneventful.

therealanimator

congrats you lucky ducky. let us know about how your first day was.

Evark

Well, I guess I'll expand on the uneventful from above. I wore a t-shirt without thinking, so I had to drive home and come back 40 minutes late with an appropriate shirt (what kind of store doesn't have shirts for their employees?). The Sony rep from our district was there, so I got to play some cool racing games on the PSP and PSP Go, saw how you can dock the PSP Go to a dock and play with your PS3 controller via bluetooth (easily, I might add). Learned about a buncha new upcoming games, and then as I was leaving rented 'Prince of Persia' used for 360, which I must return today.

BabiesAteMyDingo

Level 44! Congratulations. Enjoy your new job.

Evark

Thanks. Thanks.

Kwing

Wait, you're one of the mods that got phised on a Newgrounds lookalike? DAMN YOU, if you'd been more careful, Elios' thread might still exist!! :'(

Evark

I wasn't phished. They used my MSN email, posted in NG's MSN thread to gain access to my private email via it's ancient secret-question password-recovery. I'd had gmail and the hotmail account for upwards of 5 years, so it was pretty easy to forget that they were linked to each other.

Malachy

I went to training for the mountain yesterday. No snow yet, but it was an orientation/safety procedures thing. And I got paid for it. I'm getting a book of 10 free tickets this winter if you wanna ski on a non-holiday weekday

Evark

Abso-fuckin'-lutely... I forget are you staying at Waterville or did you move? Why do I think you did move and you're at Cannon Mtn. or something?

therealanimator

glad to hear it evark and congrats on reaching level 44

Evark

Thanks, I'm a little more pumped about getting this gold whistle though. Been silver since 2004, basically. Thanks, review spam-fest.

Malachy

I'm still at waterville. I considered cannon, but WV has more beginner trails which makes instructing easy.

Evark

Ah, that explains my inkling.

Football4Life13

Congrats on the gold whistle!

Evark

Thanks.

Prinzy2
