Heck yea, just got offered a job at Best Buy

Now I have to go pee clean in 40 minutes, and then I'll be a blue shirt wearing geek that gets a sweet discount.

Sweeeeeet.

Congrats man. Any job in these times is like gold.

Congrats!...what are the chances of that "Pee" coming back clean?

Completely clean? Maybe like 95%. Under 50 micrograms per whatever unit they measure? 99.9% - it's been way too long.

No poppy seed bagels in your recent past I hope!

Congrats on scoring a job! Sure is tough out there.

So, if I understand you correctly... you have to take a urinetest for drugs, to work at best buy??

I must say, you do look a bit suspiciously "happy" in your avatar DR;D

Hah at the avatar.

Anyway, the only thing that might show up is the prescription for hydrocodone I had recently, but ran out of 2 weeks ago. Opioids clear your system in a day or two though, and I can get my doctor to verify.

Thanks Ghost! Since I got let go at my last one, I've been pretty bummed. As you guys can tell, I've had nothing better to do than troll these forums all day every day for the last month. So, woohoo! Work! And work with tech! YAY!

Don't forget about all those "fun" customers!

- Nick

Mmmm customers. *shoots self* haha. It shouldn't be too bad. I worked selling political ideas this summer door to door. That was great. Haha

Did you ever see the movie "Clerks"...one of the lines goes:

"This would be a great place to work if it wasn't for the customers!"

...or something like that!

PIRG?

Yea! PIRG Indeed haha. I see all sides of the sobriety and what not argument. I go with what has worked for me. Really, I don't feel too strongly one way or another. Never do too much of anything and you're probably good.

Anyway, Monday Night Football... GO PACK GO!

Congrats! As mentioned, most any job today is a good job to have. Just don't become one of these guys...

I must say, I will never work at Best Buy..even though part of the stereotypes listed are in my local Best Buy's. And the person who said Apple stores are like Best Buy..not exactly true, but very close to reason (check the comments on it).

As for MS attacking Apple, I'd like to see an average user visit websites on Windows with AV software and then those same websites on a Mac with AV software, and see who gets the first virus, and has the most problems in less than thirty seconds. Oh what a world we live in. SOmetimes I just want to crawl under a rock!

good luck with the job. hope you get into a good store. I worked for best buy since i was 18 and have worked at several locations. I was an ok job, but the environment and mgmt was great. when i moved, i transferred to a different store and the mgmt sucked. i quit because i couldn't handle the mgmt and what i thought was unethical behavior. However, i still have very fond memories of my previous stores. And the discounts not bad, especially when you see the mark-up on apple accessories, you'll never be able to pay retail again.
