Snap, I didn't know about that, thanks. Row now demands a finders fee if you get a job there... plus a percentage of your paycheck every week for 3 months...

Just wish I didn't usually need a degree for everything :<
Sometimes you don't. I know someone who had a city job while attending college. Once you're in it's smooth sailing, and something with mobility that you can make an actual career out of.

:< Sometimes you can make your way in if you can prove you understand editing and photoshop. Doesn't hurt to apply. Worst case scenario is you don't get it.
What's really nice is that if you are accepted sometimes they'll pay for your tuition if they see you as an asset too.

May as well.

City jobs here require no actual skill set whatsoever... you just have to be connected (oh patronage) or a minority...
Edit: then you can't get fired and you also get a pension that you don't have to pay into...

When I was looking for jobs there was a city job that was basically a typist. All you do all day is type, and you only had to have a average speed of like 40 words per minute.
I dunno about you, but I can double that, on rare occasions triple. Me too. I worked for a summer with the Census Bureau. And I don't even have proper typing form. :P

Nothing but numbskulls at the city water billing division.
Postal workers get paid okay too, from what I understand. You may want to give that a glimpse, Laff.

Here, applying at the post office requires you purchase a book (40 bucks), study from it, and then take a test before they even consider you.
Maybe I just need to live in another damn state.

I don't work, but I do have insurance provided by the Philadelphia Fire Department. The insurance is amazing from the city.

That might be nation-wide. Yeah, I dunno, I've only considered applying in AZ. You'd figure if they know you're looking for a job, they might also know you can't afford to blow 40 bucks on a book you'll probably only use a couple times before you take the test.

I can't find a job anywhere in this god forsaken state... noone will hire a crippled person in a wheelchair (or maybe i'm just picky in the areas I want to work at :p)
sometimes it sucks having a muscular disease D:

So an update on my FF tactics RT group... Spath is currently a monk, his motto seems to be first in, last out. Hes been stacking move + getting him in first, and bites the dust alot making him the last out since he needs to be raised.
Vyre is a knight for one reason or another, probably since with Spath going down there needs to be someone with high hp to not die
Dreadnot is an archer and enjoys stealing kills from everyone
Narshee was a chemist for a while but got sick of throwing phoenix downs at Spath since it was proving costly, so he became a blm and enjoys blowing groups up... his lack of faith (49) disturbs me with this career choice though.
Kalilla is learning some mystic/oracle skills for when nobody needs a cure from her whm, she is growing increasinly annoyed by Dread picking off kills before she can get in range to hexastrike bash things with her staff. Yeh I was bored and made that up in my head >.>

Nice read, Ina.
Glad to see I'm using my usual motto, even in virtual form. :x
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
