Re: OS Off Topic

Speaking of GameStop, it has to be damn near impossible to get a job there. I can't even get a call back from either of the stores near me.

I didn't even have to interview for my job there.

I also knew everyone that worked there, but still.

Re: OS Off Topic

Ah well I just heard a rather amusing story. My friends' brother was put in charge or shredding a certain NFL teams' 2007 playbooks. Let's just say that 14 of the playbooks, mostly from offense, did not get shredded and are now MIA....

I can't wait to get a chance to look through this and just let my football dorkiness run wild

Re: OS Off Topic

I'm guessing that's the Browns' playbook. You should study it up as they still have the same staff and i'm sure some of the plays will remain the same next season.

You can make yourself sound like a genius by predicting what play will be run just by formation alone

(Oh and i'm a very jealous man here!)

Haha yeah it's a Browns playbook. I'm gonna find out if they took one of the crappy player's playbook cause I'd buy it off of him in a heartbeat. The only names I've heard so far are popular guys (minus Steve Heiden) and they all have notes and whatnot written in them so they're priceless. But I just want one to look through sooooooooooo badly

I think it's just one of those jobs where you got to have some "inside" help or try to jump in as a seasonal worker and hope you could stay on IMO. What baffles me is the amount of employees there that have little to zero knowledge regarding their products or even really caring or acting like it. Too many times I've went into various GameStop's to inquire about a game or system and get a "I dont play video games" response. I understand they can't know every game in the world, but some of them can even be downright smart alec or arrogant,just shrugging their shoulders or saying something cute. Isn't that their job to answer questions to the best of their ability while throwing in a little customer service?
Somewhere in the interviewing phase at a few GS's they must not for the most part ask them general questions about gaming and consoles? Maybe they just want people who had previous sales experience? If I were a manager,I'd only hire people who like gaming and have some knowledge of what they are selling. I wouldn't expect them to be an expert on every aspect of gaming,but at least be a gamer to some extent.

You better not let Belichick find out you have these, because I'm sure he will do anything in his power to acquire them (even though the Browns and Patriots don't even play this year).

Re: OS Off Topic

I hate laying down on a hard floor. My whole upper body seized up and boy was I in pain

Before you ask it's because the TV that I watch is in the living room and well I have a hard time seeing from a distance so I tend to lay on the floor and watch TV that way.

I've already given up. I hate that store but I have no choice but to go because I'm not near any other place that sells video games.

Trust me, we already had a discussion of what kinda money these guys could pull in if they found the right buyer and if they weren't diehard Browns fans

Got a jack in the box around? not a bad idea if you don't have alot of cash. We don't have one anywhere near us anymore and I'd pay top dollar for a Jumbo Jack/curly fries and a monster taco! good stuff there.

I'm also starving! I can't wait for dinner as i'm having one of my favourite dishes. This is not the exact same recipe but it's close enough that you'll have an idea of what it is:

* 1 Eggplant
* 3 cloves garlic
* 1 Medium Onion
* 2 Tomatoes
* 1 Lb If preferred Cooked Shrimp, Salted Fish, Chicken or Beef
* 1/4 tbsp. Salt
* 1/4 tbsp. Blackpepper
* 2 tbsp. Cooking Oil
* 2 Cups Cooked Rice (White or Brown)

I hold the garlic pretty much. I don't use either of those meats instead I use mince meat.

Cut eggplant like little finger size in container of water.

Chop union garlic and tomatoes. HEAT oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes.

Add eggplant salt and black pepper to taste. Cover and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes keep stirring throughout every few minutes apart.

After simmering for 15 minutes add cooked shrimp salted fish beef or chicken.

Serve over rice.

I do it a little different. Usually i'll have the mince meat over the stove and add in the small stuff as noted above then chop up the eggplant and put it on top of the mince meat and let it simmer. I serve it over white rice.

Every time I mention this dish to people they always turn away in disgust but it's a damn fine dinner IMO.
