I don't get why we should adopt the metric system!? Someone, I think it was while I was in England, told me that whatever you call the "inch way" is the ancient form of measurement. So you guys are the messed up ones!

I measure my height today, since I have nothing to do.

6'6! :O

I also started jacking the iron today. Pretty soon I'll be so ripped and toned and packed with muscle that I won't be able to reach back to wipe my own ass!

...just because it's ancient doesn't necessarily mean it's the best. there's a reason the majority (in fact, all but three countries) use the metric system.

it's "ancient" for a reason.

It's a-comin'...

Sarah works at Staples! Is this the same Staples?

it is indeed!

OH THANK GOD.
Maybe now they will hire... they really really need too.
tell me when you are being interviewed and by who!!
I handed your resume to my manager and said "hire this girl" so I think you are in good hands.

awww!! you're awesome, sarah! <3

i went and talked to a manager named herb today, and he's the one that called me, so i think maybe he'll be interviewing me. it's wednesday at 3 *nervous already*

Yes, Herb will interview you.
Here is the lowdown.
He is a smelly smelly man. Very smelly. He is pretty much the only not-likable manager.
What will get you in with him is talking about leadership and customer service. He is all about customer service. Be really upbeat and happy around him and thats all he cares about. To the point where he has hired some truely AWFUL people because they just gave him an upbeat interview.
Other than that, its a three interview process. Herb is the main filter. If you have an interview with him and don't turn out to be a crazy person, then you are basically in. Your second interview is probably going to be either Cecil or Glen, and they really won't care at all. hahaha. The third interview will be my GM Sean. He is a super nice guy and is cheery to a fault. He is probably going to just check your references and that will be it.

...ok so after saying all that it seems like a lot but the last two years when they did this (hiring me, and other people at the same time of the year) they literally did the interviews either all in one day, or like... 2 days apart and had me working there the next week. However, they also didn't check references, but I know Sean does now. So if you get 3 interviews its just waiting for some phone calls and you are basically in.

i read it! and i remember it! spent most of my day worrying about how to be upbeat without being awkward and creepy! lol.

but seriously, i appreciate the tips and hints tremendously. i lurve you, sarah <3

Measuring by kilometers is whack. Period.

The thing with the metric system is the only thing you have to remember is 10. It's brilliant.

Conversions with the crazy system are just... crazy.
