A bunch of my friends are going to club in NYC where it was 40 bucks just to get in the door.

No thanks.

Being in college and being good friends with our soccer team I have been invited to go to their parties last night and tonight but I would rather watch some Bruins hockey. Also that should be a great game tonight.

In NJ for a work thingy for Halloween.

I like the day for the kids, but I'm not in to it as an adult. Don't like dressing up.

If that day ever comes where kids actually ask for money(for non charity reasons).....those kids deserve to have door closed in their face.

Yall got any tips for getting a job at 16 about to turn 17? I've been looking around online for age requirements and open spots at stores and stuff and mostly all I can find are stock associate jobs. Which wouldn't be bad if those weren't overnight shifts and I'm not legally allowed to work those

Go to your local super market. That's what most kids in my town did. Or go to a restaurant and wait tables, busboy or wash dishes.

When I turned 16, my dad got me a cheap 150K mile 1999 Chevy Lumina. He said in order me to drive it, I have to get a job so I can pay the gas and car insurance. Helped teach me responsibility and accountability.

My first job was at a Chick-Fil-A and I loved it...able to get off on Sunday, work from 4-close every day after school and all day Saturday if I wanted/asked but more so it helped me get into a fortune 500 company as a career.

Host or busser at a restaurant. Serving at a diner but not a place that serves alcohol (can't do it as a minor so it would be a hassle). Work in a pizza place, inside or as a driver.

It's getting late in the season now but lots of seasonal jobs for the holidays in retail. Cashiering/floor or stocking.

I did multiple restaurants, but I enjoyed retail more. Worked overnight at one place and day/evening at a different place. Pretty competitive wages, especially at higher end retail stores. Flexible hours. Not as much people treating you like their bitch as being a server, although you make less it's worth the peace of mind.

Perk of being a stock associate is helping people load large items in to their cars. Get tipped occasionally and especially around the holidays. And screw any policy that says you can't accept them.

I've worked all these jobs, and while they typically don't translate to "big boy jobs," I learned from my experiences. Customer service/interaction in food industry, and I even was promoted to a full time shipper/receiver position from stock associate complete with a 401k plan and health benefits. Even now, on the opposite end of retail (as a vendor/manufacturer), I get hit up all the time by talent recruiters because of that initial experience.

Ya never know. Good for you wanting to get out there and contribute and make some money. Don't work too hard though, you have your whole lifetime to do that. But a work ethic and time management skills at a young age aren't bad to have and/or work on.

Seconded.

It's also how I spent yesterday, and probably how I will spend tomorrow with Red Zone on in the background.

You pretty late in the season for holiday hiring. Christmas rush begins in September for retail, so they do their holiday hiring in September and 1st half of October. Mostly looking for truck unloaders, stockers and cashiers. You probably can still get hired as a cashier some where.

Go to indeed.com and simplyhired.com. 2 good places to look for jobs.

Re: Off Topic 2015

It is a really, really fun holiday to celebrate here if you don't have to work the next day like I did. Even the boat hoes show out. I think what really turned me off of going out as a final deciding factor was the two girls in tutus outside my window who were discussing whether or not they could "twerk in a tutu" and then proceeded to try it. I really don't wanna be around people like that at this point in my life.. lol.

The Japanese girls tend to wear less clothing as winter rolls in anyways so I'm not too worried about missing a few short skirts on Halloween.

Re: Off Topic 2015

I don't think I've ever changed my Twitter avatar. Until today.

From the Bayside "Shudderbird" logo to... the same logo with a Christmas hat on the bird and Christmas lights bordering the picture.

It's the holidays now!

Re: Off Topic 2015

Halloween over, now onto Christmas stuff for next several weeks. I know USA still got Thanksgiving before that, but still,we all know Christmas stuff starts up way too early,for some places,they even had Christmas stuff in September,but now is the time when they'll actually start airing the commercials and stuff on TV.

Re: Off Topic 2015

They had Christmas movies all over tv since Thursday night.

Re: Off Topic 2015

The part I hate about the time change, now it gets darker earlier! By 5pm the sun goes down. No wonder fall and winter are so depressing.
