Thanks man. Thanks. Xzin doesn't think a subway sandwich artist can MB. Well here is living proof. 400 bucks a month covers my MB'ing expenses.Quote:

have a degree in New Media, and early in my career I took to Film and Television before I found out it was an empty soul-sucking gravitational pit of emptiness.
I worked on some movies you may know, including Blades of Glory and Vantage Point recently.
now I am a student studying to get my teaching degree and hopefully be able to sleep at nght secure in the knowledge that my lifes accomplishments wont plateau at "I was able to make it look like Will Ferrell could skate on ice"
hopefully...
That's not what I said :)Quote:

Regardless they get some respect out of me too...being on their feet all day in that heat and dealing with pissy "HURRY THE FUCK UP AND FEED MY FAT ASS OR ILL SIT ON YOU" people...it's like customer service but instead of talking to someone over the phone in yer nice comfy cubicle you get to deal with them up close and personal...s'why I'm glad I took the work part instead of phone team, I sat with the phone team one day and listened in on some Merchant calls...I don't understand how any of them keep their sanity dealing with that all day. You think customers bitching are bad you've never heard a Hotel Manager who's pissed we debited their $5,000+ charge back to the customer for fraud...lord lol
Bottom line: I salute thee, people who put up with other people, especially picky people, all day. :P

there is nothing wrong with working subway...
before i was full time software, i did just about everything i could...
1. mowing lawns (constant from 8..18 )
2. shoveling driveways (12..18 )
3. worked a farm (2 years, 13..14)
4. bus boy / dishwasher / stock boy / short order cook (4 different jobs, 14..16)
5. sold assorted goodies for my high school class (13..17 .. good for salesmanship and gets exposure talking to customers)
6. fast food.. burger king, deli (15..17)
7. parts runner for an auto shop (17..18 )
8. gas station attendant (17..23, multiple stations)
9. construction (19, concrete forms.. sucked hard)
at 19 i worked for bowmar ali (def. contractor)
at 19 i worked for Wang labs (goes to show how old i am.. and yes... i do fart dust)
at 20 i worked for an MIT think tank/def. contractor outside of boston for 4 years
then it was real work. in all of those jobs, i made squat (<$8/hr) until i was 23.. when i decided i knew more then the others and pushed for a raise to $15/hr or i was walking (really, i was pissed they made me cancel my 3-day weekend trip with my girl at the last minute.. and i was brought to dc to run the office of 10 people... all of which made 3 or 4 times what i made)
the point being, set a goal for yourself... disregard the temporary jobs along the way... and you will succeed in getting where you want to be, so long as you continue to take positive steps in the direction you want to be. avoid anything that could be considered a negative step, and it'll all work out in the end.
Don't worry I do know how to calculate something like that, and still I see a lot of high end stuff. Besides the fact that even if the conversion would be wacko at this moment, it also was a few years back. Still, seeing as almost every American at least gets divorced once in a lifespan, its prolly for all the alimony? :PQuote:

Chargebacks piss me off. Its like a form of rape for business owners. Many of the chargebacks that are made to businesses are legit charges. The credit card holders lie their asses off and it ends up costing the retailer or online store. Not only do they receive the product or service free of charge. The company they scammed it from gets a fine for every chargeback. Its a total cash cow for the credit card companies. And its all at the expense of businesses. If Visa, MC, Amex, and Discover decide they want to do something about chargebacks they could. Until the cash cow ends your always going to see Joe Blow disputing the charge for Shemale Bangers website even though he spanked himself blind watching it. Once the wife finds out or he gets tired of it all he has to do is call his CC company and say I never made that transaction. The money is returned and the company who owns shemale bangers site takes it up the ass in fee's. Not to mention if you get enough chargebacks you can lose your merchant account.Quote:

I only use an adult website as an example because they suffer a large portion of false chargebacks. I had a few at my retail shop and it pisses me off. Because I know the people didnt use a stolen card and the person who made the chargeback never canceled the card to get a new one. FYI for anyone.. You can pretty much get anything free right now if you do not sign a receipt at the store. Order online anywhere and its a gamble for the ecommerce company.
I hope I never have to call you one day.
