(I'm feeling accomplished) | | Livevideo has become so uncool to the extent that my banner doesn't even apply to the uncoolness that currently exists!
What does this all mean? It is a great time for me to make lots and lots of videos. When the bar is low, Brianne plays soft.

| | offering BJs to the boss is not an option | | | | Monday, December 1, 2008 (7:26 PM) | | So. I'm getting paid x-amount of dollars to teach from 9-3.
After that guy from work got "let go" on Wednesday, I was "hired" to teach his 3-5 class. This extra class that I'm teaching is temporary... just for the month of December, and in January, they will have someone teach the class instead of me to lighten my incredible light load.
Now for the question:
I saw the ad for this position on craigslist, and the advertised compensation is $12 more per hour than what I'm currently getting paid. So my question is, *should* I get that extra 12 bucks for teaching the 3-5 class? (and get paid the normal rate for the 9-3 class) If I *should*, theeeen, how do I go about "getting" it? :))) | | | | 78 Views | 16 Thumbs Up | 8 Comments | |

| | strange | | | | Tuesday, November 25, 2008 (6:44 PM) | | This is my second week at the jobbage. This week, 2 people (who pretty much have the same position I do) have been "let go".
Logic was never my forte... could someone help me out? | | | | 72 Views | 10 Thumbs Up | 5 Comments | |

| | at least blogs don't need to be approved | | | | Monday, November 17, 2008 (1:02 AM) | | fucking shitballs...
"Hi.
My video was uploaded 3 days ago and it still hasn't been approved. If you could approve it, that would be great!
Thanks,
Brianne"
So like, I uploaded a video 3 days ago... and 24 hrs later, it wasn't approved, but i decided to make it public anyway... and add 2 more days and still hasn't been approved, but like, all these other shitty videos that were uploaded way before mine have been approved... and excuse me, but isn't my video shitty enough to be approved? i'm sorry i'm not stripping in it...
...at least blogs don't need to be approved. | | | | 76 Views | 6 Thumbs Up | 4 Comments | |

You're Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov
You're really into poetry and the interpretation thereof. Along the
road of life, you have had several identity crises which make it very unclear who you
are, let alone how to interpret poetry. You probably came from a foreign country, but
then again you seem foreign to everyone in ways unrelated to immigration. Most people
think you're quite funny, but maybe you're just sick. Talking to you ends up being much
like playing a round of the popular board game Clue.

| | 3 words i hate that begin with "sub" | | | | Tuesday, November 11, 2008 (8:20 PM) | | 1. "SUBSITUTE"
Last Thursday, I was a substitute ESL teacher. This sucked because the away-teacher gave me a shitload of time-wasting activities. As a substitute, you can't really manipulate the curriculum to make it awesome. You just have to use what you've been given and make sure it gets done. You know I don't like following others' guidelines.
2. "SUBMIT"
If I substitute, then I submit.
3. "SUBSCRIBE"
This should be pretty self-explanatory.

| | reply to someone about my direction | | | | Saturday, August 23, 2008 (11:03 PM) | | my career direction has always been a funny "path" ---if it can even be called a path at all. really, it seems like a field that i wander around. and i'm stopping to smell the roses everywhere. in college i pretty much took a sniff at every single subject in the humanities/arts. i loved every minute of it and then there was the whole requirement of hunkering down and picking a specialty. i still struggle with "knowing" what it is i "really want" to do. i'm happy with so many things, so it is tough choosing just one thing.
but the thing i hated most about education was all the extra hours that took me away from other important things like family. i enjoyed the extra hours, but i feel like i missed out on some things too. education taught me about priorities... so in choosing a career, i've realized that career isn't my top priority. if it were, i would probably shoot for a masters, or journalism, and teach literature, produce literature. of course, i can't do it all. nobody can!
anyway, this is a pretty long reply...i should probably put this in a blog entry...
afterthought:
what do you think? is it possible to do it all? do you guys think i can do it all? should i try? would i be happier that way or have regrets?
(obviously, your comments are absolutely paramount to what i will end up doing. like, if you tell me i'm hot, maybe i'll just fly to LA go into porn.) | | | | 121 Views | 8 Thumbs Up | 8 Comments | |

| | first shift | | | | Monday, June 23, 2008 (11:54 PM) | | Yes, that is right folks. First shift AGAIN!!!
On Thursday, I saw an ad for a position in an auto parts company. I called and they nonchalantly told me to drop off my resume, and since I don't find myself very marketable as an employee for an auto parts company, I nonchalantly re-wrote my resume and the objectives went a little something like this:
I won’t lie: I want to pay off my bills and earn enough to take my kid to Disneyland! I’m looking for a full-time 9-5 job to accomplish this and your job seems to fit the bill. I have to be honest –I also hate failing, so I would not apply for this position if I didn’t think I’d be a benefit to your team and I’ll work my butt off to make sure I get the job done right. I’m reliable, friendly, easy to work with, and a very fast learner. My experience might not be too related to your industry, but I think it demonstrates some important things:
1. I’ve got the basics down (customer service, cashier experience, inventory)
2. I have an awesome work ethic
3. I’m pretty smart, so I’ll pick up on what you need me to
(For some reason, having this very frank schtick tacked to the top of my resume was funny to me. I did it probably because I didn't think I'd get the job and thought it might be at MOST an interesting resume for someone to read)
On Friday when I dropped it off, I felt a little embarrassed for doing such a silly thing as applying and writing that add-on, so I quickly paced back to my car, but when I reached the door to leave, the manager calls "Wait just a minute, Brianne."
Oh fuck!
Oh fuck is right! Mr.Manager calls me back and brings me to a table. I sit across from him in awkward silence as he reads my resume. WOW that is just too embarrassing. If he read it while I was not present, and did or did not call me back, I'd be cool with it. But no, I gotta sit there and watch him go over my experience and lack thereof.
Mr. Manager: "Brianne, tell me: Do you know anything about cars?"
Me: "I'm sure you know a lot more about cars than I do." (I don't want to say no!)
Then he asks me about how much money I think a partsman makes, what a partsman does, etc...further proving that I know absolutely NADA about his company. It really was excruciatingly awesome only because I can come here and re-hash it all back to you guys. I was so tempted to be all "But I do own man-parts."
Mr. Manager: "When can you start?"
Me: "Monday."
Mr. Manager: "See you Monday. Bring a lunch. We'll train you."
Oh, this entry was going to be about my first shift, wasn't it...but it was more about how I got a better paying job under very odd circumstances.
What can I say about my first shift? It was good because unlike the other place (which, by the way, was a superstore for baby-stuff), they actually trained me to do things other than to come in and do nothing!
Final Verdict:
Cars: 1
Babies: 0 | | | | 159 Views | 22 Thumbs Up | 14 Comments | |
