Disney Job

[captain_slinky]

I was one of the 20 people that made it to "stage one" of the interviews. Only two of those twenty got to go on to "stage two".

I was number 3 on the list :(

They thanked me for applying, and welcome me to apply for any jobs that strike my fancy there at Disney, because they think i would make a great addition to the company.

I am very very bummed-out over this :( Even my comfort-food meal (a necessity for any time sorrow is near) of chicken-fried steak didn't taste that great :(

or take you to thrift stores.

I'm not sure how, but I am fairly sure that this is somehow the fault of Frank.

FRAAAAAAAAANK!!!

Yes. The My Little Pony on my monitor has spoken, and she says it's time to kill Frank ...

Bastards! What kind of total fuckwad would even work at a place like...oh. Bah! No matter. I will work to destroy the system from within. Unless anyone I work for is reading this, in which case I will...have the content archival and expiration script ready by Friday.

Um.

Seriously, they made an error. And we'll keep an eye out for other stuff. And if nothing comes up, well, maybe I fire up SQL Query Analyzer and make a few changes to the ol' jobs DB.

The ideal candidate will say on his resume that he has a bachelor's degree.

Twenty to twenty-five years monitoring live animated feeds preferred. The ability to drink large quantities of free soda is a plus, as they do tend to pile up in the kitchens (except on the 18th floor, the reasons for which we're still investigating).

Poor Slinky,
I didn't get the job I was after either. The world just doesn't know what it's missing by giving us the shaft.
Buttheads.

Speaking of Ponies... Cruystal took one of her Ponies to work for on her desk, and put up a sign saying "CAUTION! ATTACK PONY ON DUTY" or something to that effect. We *are* rubbing off on her!

Re:

Thanks so much... that cheared me up bunches :) I think I could handle that job!

But seriously, there *is* something you could do for me. See, I came in at number *3*. If you could just poison each of the people that takes the position until they call me back and hire me, I'd greatly appreciate it!

You want to do *WHAT* to the Jews?!?!?

Okay, so I now know that Dutch sounds a lot like German if you read it with the right inflection :)

So thank you (?) for the kind words... I assume that they mean either "Dude you got screwed", or "Shove a grappling hook up your jongen".

Either way, looks like your Dutch is getting pretty good!

Re: double poo!

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Well crap, crap, and tripple crap! Sorry you didn't get your job, either. But don't fret; I heard that the job you wanted was all just an elaborate cover-up for recruiting unwitting civilians in to some sort of white slave-trade on the black market. Or maybe it was a pyramid scam. Either way, you're better off without it!

Dutch is a Germanic language, though it is influenced by French and English, with a scattering of others thrown in. Speaking it sounds like you're spitting on people. (The g is a nasty sound as it's very gutteral unless 'ng'.)

I essentially said that it was really too bad, and that you were a funny guy, so all the best luck for the next time.

My Dutch is very poor, actually, but I'm learning. Eventually I'll actually be fluent.
