ok that sentence didn't entirely make sense

― river wolf, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:00 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm getting down on myself for basically having no marketable skills whatsoever besides being a big huge phony, sorry :\

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 9 April 2007 20:00 (seventeen years ago) link

i don't have marketable skills, either, it's ok

― river wolf, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:01 (seventeen years ago) link

high fives

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 9 April 2007 20:01 (seventeen years ago) link

i really need to find a way to turn "being chatty" into a marketable skill

― river wolf, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:02 (seventeen years ago) link

oh hey are you guys talking about having no marketable skills

― ghost rider, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:02 (seventeen years ago) link

yes we are ghost rider, come and join us!

― river wolf, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:02 (seventeen years ago) link

i was an english major haha!

― river wolf, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:03 (seventeen years ago) link

being a big chatty liar is my marketable skill, the circle comes back to full yet again

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 9 April 2007 20:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I determined (in a conversation with a professor, no less!) that my only marketable skill is "being pleasant." if you are a chick, that conversation turns awkward real quick.

The Flying Dawkins: a place for big chatty liars

― river wolf, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:04 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm not even pleasant :/

― ghost rider, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:04 (seventeen years ago) link

the schef, please go tell adorable parent factoids on the relevant thread!

― horseshoe, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:04 (seventeen years ago) link

that's okay, Alex, you're a boy, being pleasant will get you nowhere.

― horseshoe, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:05 (seventeen years ago) link

my marketability rests solely on being cute (according to my boss I "have the motor skills of a small child"): this will get me through my thesis, and then I am doomed.

― jessie monster, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:05 (seventeen years ago) link

sometimes you are pleasant. beartrap

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 9 April 2007 20:05 (seventeen years ago) link

oh, Jessie, I'm not sure what your thesis is in, but I'm in grad school and cute is a double-edged sword (if you're a chick.)

― horseshoe, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:06 (seventeen years ago) link

yay for Ally's mom!

― horseshoe, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:06 (seventeen years ago) link

hi why am I so bitter today. sorry guys. you are all pleasant and lovely.

― horseshoe, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:07 (seventeen years ago) link

hahahaha you've never met us

― pretzel walrus, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I feel confident

― horseshoe, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:08 (seventeen years ago) link

dude, being a woman in ~~life~~ (grad) school is a double-edged sword. :/

― jessie monster, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:08 (seventeen years ago) link

every job i've ever had was basically me being hired to flirt with people and manipulate them. i'm having kind of a crisis here i think.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 9 April 2007 20:08 (seventeen years ago) link

"pleasant"

I'm distinctly unpleasant at work and/or when annoyed or impatient, but I do get things done. My marketable skills all involve manufacturing & production and asking vendors whether their pressmen were fucking sleeping when they printed my books, though.

Jessie, I would like to subscribe to your newsletter!

WHY AREN'T YOU A BARTENDER, SERIOUSLY

BEARTRAPPIN THE SCHEF

― river wolf, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:09 (seventeen years ago) link

i should probably just become a bartender really

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 9 April 2007 20:10 (seventeen years ago) link

i'd be happier

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 9 April 2007 20:10 (seventeen years ago) link

tho these jerkwads here would glue themselves to my bar in hopes of getting free drinks and i'd never make any money ;_;

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 9 April 2007 20:10 (seventeen years ago) link

honestly, this whole "med school" business aside, the one thing i've really wanted to do was open up a bar/hostel/whatever in silverton, colorado.

also it would be a record label

― river wolf, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:10 (seventeen years ago) link

tho i wouldn't need any money cos i could just steal drinks and smokes from the bar!!! :D

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 9 April 2007 20:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Ally, sweetheart, I hear you. Take ten deep breaths. You are Allyzay, Adventuress and High Spirit Extraordinaire.

Beat rep: Bartending: you'll make hella money but your customers will all be douchebags who will check out yr T&A 94/7. Okay with that? Y/N

― Laurel, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:11 (seventeen years ago) link

wait let's take a moment out of this pity party to lol at fluffy bear

― ghost rider, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:11 (seventeen years ago) link

"jerkwads"

― Mr. Que, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:11 (seventeen years ago) link

agreed: lol, fluffy bear, kudos

― river wolf, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:12 (seventeen years ago) link

I think what Ally is saying is the only difference between that and her current job is hella money?

― horseshoe, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:12 (seventeen years ago) link

ok back to crises!

― ghost rider, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, Ally, but you kind of hate your regular life. Just think it over, is all I'm saying.

― Laurel, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:15 (seventeen years ago) link

GOD BLESS PRETZEL WALRUS, GENIUS

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:15 (seventeen years ago) link

hey, i was out of the loop for a while, what the fuck's a bear trap?

also, ally, i have been gainfully employed for the past 19 years and do not have a single marketable skill as i have yet to find a way to parlay my only recognizable skill (the massive intake of alcohol) into a lucrative career field.

chin up!

― chicago kevin, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:15 (seventeen years ago) link

hi Kevin! I'm glad you're still posting to the DC thread + hope you are doing okay!
