1. my parents paid for it 2. i didnt want to go to college (just wanted to stay in my room and remain NEET) but just picked whichever would be easiest
Bentley Rogers
Well it sounds like succeeded. Congrats

i didn't mind pushing carts when i worked in retail. the only thing i hated was the rain and snow. nobody bothered me except for when the recycling needed to be emptied.

>college degree >doesn't know the difference between no and know ah yes, the american education system, well done lad.
Easton Hall

The absolute state of English-speaking philosophy these days, that this be "easiest".
Philosophy should demand mathematics as a prerequisite, up to differential-equations and statistics. Definitely Cantor. Should also demand basic neuroscience and an historical overview.
Actually it shouldn't be allowed in undergrad courses at all as a major.
Liam Morales
yeah i agree with you desu
Lucas Moore
that's alright I'm drunk too user, I just had a really shitty day wagecucking so I'm taking my anger out on anything in range that won't throw me in prison, sorry lel
Jace Smith
yeah its ok, my life is often depressing too and ill randomly start insulting [insert topic of OP, usually an artist on /mu/ or something] stuff as well
Nathaniel Gonzalez
This is fucking stupid why would you need differential equations for a discussion about ethics

It was sad when I discovered Daniel N Robinson's lectures on philosophy ... at the age of 30 when I was long gone from collidj. On the other hand the reason it felt like it was tying it all together was because I'd taken all those history classes @collidj. Part of me wishes I'd had that class at the time. But I am pretty sure I'd not have understood it.

The register took me 3 months to finally master. It was not an easy register system.
Jack Robinson
did you have a lot of embarassing moments with customers?
im pissed because the other """'new"""" people there are just converts from a similar store and they seem to get it while im like wtf this is my first time ever and it makes me feel like the idiot
Levi Baker
Well atleaset we're not alone in spirit. Seriously though I've been in customer service and it sucks dick all day. You'll get the hang of registers with practice it takes everyone awhile to get it down good. It's a nightmare dealing with customers all day though, 90% of them are alright but that last 10% just makes you hate the whole fucking human race and wish death upon the entire earth.
Daniel Brown
Yes. I was so embarrassed about messing up that I'd hope they wouldn't call me in to work.
But keep at it. Don't feel too deterred. I got the hang of it, you will too. Within a few months customers won't be getting pissy because you don't know what you're doing.
And like your other coworkers, you can carry the knowledge with you to any other job with a register.
Dylan Kelly
my only hope is this twitch channel i started takes off
Nicholas Bailey
lmao nobody's gonna support a boring loser like you
Adam Morris
im a different guy you silly willy
Jaxon Torres
Chill the fuck out and sponge everything up. You got the thought that your going to fuck up stuck in your head, and that's why you keep thinking about being worthless instead of actually learning what your coworker is trying to teach you. >I know because I did the same thing
Josiah Lopez
Retail, sales, anything dealing with customer service is not a job for a robot. Be a janitor or a cook. I'm both, f/t line cook and I also work nights as a janitor at a bank. All BOH jobs are perfect for robots, and as a janitor you work mostly alone in a mostly empty building with no one to hassle you about anything. Typically only a pt job though. >tfw such a wagecuck that I am about to start a third job at a bakery >tfw 60 hours doesn't numb the pain with pure exhaustion >tfw definitely going to end my life if 80 hours doesn't keep me numb

you need 90 hours on a boat working at satans rhythm lifting, throwing nonstop no sleep all black
