YES! Ipods are such a joke. I love my Zen.

Have either of you owned an iPod? It's the interface and ease of use that made it consume 90% of the HDD-based MP3 player market, not the features. :)

I have owned an iPod, I just don't understand the hype. Pluse, with the 200 bucks I saved by taking it back and getting a Zen, I'm able to purchase something more important. :)

To each his own though, I just did not have a very good experience with mine. I'm pretty sure it was defective as even USB 2.0 wasn't updating/uploading to it.

Before this gets TOO far off-topic, congrats on the job!

Heh.. I'm actually a very shy person, thanks for the compliment though!

I hope things work out for you with everything.


Nope! As soon as I send my papers to the job centre, I'll hopefully not have to go back there for a long time to come (thank god).. Just in time too, they were wanting to send me on some "New Deal" thing in 2 weeks.

To tell you the truth I have never had a formal job position such as "checkout operative" or any other fixed tasks day in day out.

I work on-call, and usually have been my own boss. I plan to apply for an actual formal scheduled, planned job within the coming weeks just for the hell of it.

Either way, congrats on the new job...a big step towards many things.

That really cool Oblivion Knight, I wish you the best in your new position! I did that same thing when I first came to the states to go to college in Boston. I made some great friends working there most of them are still close today! I know it really difficult to get any type of job today no matter where you live, so I'm happy for you!

Good Luck

To: RichieBoy67

Wow, RichieBoy67 sorry to hear about your bad luck, I do hope you get to feeling better so you can get back to where you were before! I once lived in Connecticut for 3 years, that state is really expensive, cost of living, gas, everything compared to states north of it like Rhode Island and Mass where I live now!

God Bless both of yoy!!!

Congrats :) I'm almost in the same process, I have a phone interview tomorrow. :p Feel free to dish out all your secrets to landing the job.

Hey at least in MA you get paid a ++++load for your work ^^

I work as a phlebotomist and make 13.35 an hr right now, not much but i am per diem, if i were an actual employee i would be making around 18-20 an hr and i get a raise every 5 months. Not too bad for a college student, i make my own hours and everything, wish i got paid a bit more thou :/, but i make do

And i got the job because i volunteered at the hospital for 4 years before i got a job there.

congrats on getting the job, hope it turns out to be enjoyable as well as profitable ^^
