  • Anyone hiring?

    Shot in the dark, but eh. I don’t know what else to fucking do.

    Any of y’all’s companies hiring? I was just furloughed from my work from home job, and they’ve told us “could be six months”. I can’t be without healthcare that long.

    So it’ll be back to the grind.

    I have a million years of experience in customer service, wfh customer service, tech help service, minor coding/programming abilities, and some management experience. Entry level is fine and if training is provided I’ll do anything.

    My only requirement is healthcare and remote.

    @junipersky I am glad you’re finally through. Appeals very rarely do anything in these cases.

    @Aria My mother is touting a picture of him holding me as a baby, today.

    I’m gonna miss that dude! I rarely go to fancy restaurants, but I feel like every time I ever do… he’s there, out with one or more beautiful twinks. smh. single tear drop.

    I met him a couple of times and was just showing a friend the photo of me and @insomniac meeting him at a standing room only Green Day show, like, ten years ago. I didn’t realize he was live when the pic was snapped. He put me on air talking about how I’d been listening since I was 14 and when I was off at college and they weren’t broadcasting online yet, my mom’d put the phone up to the radio on Thanksgiving Day so we could sing “Alice’s Restaurant” all together and horribly off-key.

    Pierre Robert, 70

    Pierre was a radio legend. He’d been on air since 1981, so almost anyone who ever lived in the Philadelphia region and listened to rock knew who he was. The man was so beloved by locals that any time he was covering a concert, the line to meet him would be almost as long as the line the meet the band. His love for music was legendary, as was his hilariously painted van “Minerva”, which was older than I am. His complete inability to keep to a schedule became a running joke that his audience dubbed “Pierre Standard Time” and his radio show frequently ran over just because he was jamming out and having a good time. He founded charities to fight food insecurity, launched city-wide holiday traditions, promoted small local bands, was willing to use his platform to cut off musicians who took extremist views or did a Philly audience dirty, and was always, always happy to stop and snap a photo with listeners.

    For folks in Philly who love music, this one’s a kick in the teeth.

    I am concerned that this will just be pretty princ(ess)es primping and preening for parties, parades, and promenades without any crunchy politics and intrigue underlying it or flowing from it

    This is what Lords and Ladies games are, though, for the most part. And boy howdy do the pretty princ(ess)es get upset when you don’t swoon at their feet and pay them the most fulsome compliments for their daring and delight.

    I think he tends to lean heavily into the parody of “sassy gay friend serving,”

    If he were the only queer character, I’d agree. But I think, at least to me and in my opinion only, he simply is a sassy gay friend/foe serving. But perhaps that’s my view only because I am the sassy gay friend who occasionally serves…

    I haven’t run into any others yet! that’s a good point. I was anticipating this being the only queer character.

    Marvel Rivals Zombies is simple fun. Best is just being Jeff and swimming around taking down zombies.
