...or someone else with an equally absurdly strong character shield.

Five people at work got fired....except me. Despite me being a total
newbie. With two months of experience with the company and electrical
work total.

And of course the latest happenings on the board.

It just looks like I took a swim in a tank of horse shit and came
out smelling like Chanel so far....I have this insanely strong
character shield it seems in both IRL and Online.

It's more likely, especially if it's mostly unskilled labor, that they simply axed the guys that cost them the most. I take it your jobs not union so there's nothing to stop them.

You don't have a character sheild, you're just the cheapest schlub on the job.

Congratulations, also, why do you have Chevy Chase in your avatar?

I don't think that's him.

Congrats Shep. To test this shield you could go hang out with Steve Irwin.

That's Lieutenant Viktor Ivanovich Belenko, a Soviet pilot who defected to the United States, taking his MiG with him.

Character shields own- I work at a summer camp and I'm always the last to drop (they fire the Counsellors randomly to keep us on our toes- we're non-unionized minors so they can do what the fuck the want with us.)

How does this work?

It doesn't, why? That's the dumbest system I've ever heard of. Form a union! On the double! :twisted:

Well, I exaggerate. We have people that do random really stupid things (I'm sure you've heard of why not to run with scissors) in front of the little kids, and since safety is a massive concern with 4-year olds, we have a high turnover rate. They don't randomly fire people, though generally every week we lose one or two C.I.T's.

Talk to me when you can cuddle in bed with your GF's sister, fondle her ass, and get away with it. Yes my GF knows about this, and yes I'm still alive. :D

Dude, is every other post you make bragging about getting some? And quite frankly I'm a bit taken aback by your attitude, particularly with your admitted liberal interpretations and statements elsewhere.

And just man-to-man: I'd watch about putting this stuff right here on OT if I were you.

Maybe I'm dumb, but I see bad things coming from this if you and jmac don't see eye-to-eye on some of the things you've said. Just a recommendation. I don't think you'd want drama right on the front page of a forum either.

No, the man could be a street-walking pimp for all I would care, but I'm concerned for his sake and general civility if jmac is upset...

Personal conflicts manifested on the board would be ugly.

I think you should stop bragging about that.



And congrats, Shep, that's really, REALLY good news, especially considering this less-than-stellar job market. Yay! :D

I am quite frankly amazed. Most girls I know would have smacked you, hit her sister (if she's older) or screamed at her (if younger), and dumped you on the spot.
