Depends on how you do it... If you are just a line cook you wouldnt make much but down the line other doors can open if you have the experience. Consultents for example normally make pritty good money and are often able to balance that easily with a second job. One of my chefs in school for example would teach in the mornings then work as a consultent in the afternoon. Also I'm not 100% sure on this but I think I remember them telling us that there is a process you can go through to become a teacher for that trade that's different from normal teacher collage.
That and all the crazy stories you will build up are a currency of their own.

You know when in Tomb Raider you fall in a ravine, well I used to just hit start->load, without waiting. Well...I once hit save by accident and was pretty far with the game too <_< *loads* KYAAAAAAH *crack* FU!! Playing Legend of Legaia way way back when i was I think single digits in age... it was my first rpg so the whole concept of the games was new to me so lots and lots of game overs, bit of level grinding, farming money for lots of meds and was before I had any internet access so had to learn all the different attacks for myself rather then look them up. I also ran from ALOT of random battles since I was young and dumb (hence the need for level grinding here and there). Anyways after months of chipping away at this game I am in the second last dungion (I thought it was the last dungion at that time given how the story was going) and repeatedly getting my *** handed to me by the mid way boss (Jetti I think his name was? idk i think i remember him cloneing himself though) anyways the day I finally beat him I'm rushing because I have to get going to school and running late so I tell the game to save and hit the power button... I get back to it that night and it can't load my file because it's corrupted. This is how I learned to always keep multiple saves just incase you do something accidently (or in my case I had no idea that interupting the save process would corrupt the file) and it screws your game. /end,memory,lane,rant The last time I had a derp moment like this was playing Fear Effect many years ago. 4 disc game and I was on the third disc, right before it changes to the 4th. I ended up running out of ammo and accidentally saved over the wrong slot. D: I was pretty much screwed at that point and never finished the game. Makes me want to play it now thinking about it, lol. I can't remember having a derprage moment inflicted on me by myself, but I do remember leveling up years ago in Hoshigami. My goal was to have the prerequisites for Vugtis deity unlocked before you leave the town where you can learn it for the first time, because after you leave it takes the whole game to get back there. Anyway, I'd finally gotten everybody I cared about(the main characters) all the prereqs, but I couldn't go to see if they could be Vugtis, because I had an imposed bed time. Got back from the school the next day, and my oldest brother had saved over my game, "Accidentally."

I'm a dinosaur!" because that would make my day. :-) In my experience, the more difficult and specialized the work, the less people have time to care about how you dress/speak/act, because everyone's brain cycles are entirely consumed by the effort of delivering the work itself. Especially if you aren't directly interacting with customers.
"Rawr, I'm a dinosaur!" therefore just solicits "Yes yes, okay, but did you manage to get to that bug in auth for next Tuesday's patch?"
If the answer is "Yup!" then you can be a dinosaur all you want. Hell, you can be a dinosaur in a board meeting if it floats yer boat. I actually have a dragon hat that I frequently wear to important meetings with no commentary whatsoever, just to keep people on their toes. (Except mine is green and black with gold spikes.)
But if the answer is "No!" then you being a dinosaur is the least of everyone's concerns, because you're probably fired.

Actually, I once deleted by accident a file of my brother(was some sport game though, don't remember which). When he found out I played innocent and said the file was corrupted, etc. He would have beaten the hell out of me!

When my dad actually works, he gets $15+ an hour (last one I knew of was 18/hr) and that's starting pay. He doesn't tend to keep a job for very long, drugs or running from warrants. Depends where you work though, and doing what.. Front line cooks get paid the most, prep and backroom cooks (the one's that bake bread, slice deli meat, etc) don't get paid nearly as much.

My sister never managed to overwrite/delete one of my games... she did however manage rip my ps2 out of the space beneth the tv where I kept it while randomly running around past the wires... The ps2 survived and still works fine to this day somehow... my copy of Suikoden 3 (was in there at the time) however no longer allows me to ender the entry way or bar of the lake castle with out freezing in the loading screen. it made me sadface when I discovered that because every other part of the game works fine.

I was sort of skeptical at first, especially after playing Kirby Epic Yarn. I thought they were going to dumb down the formula...but they didn't. This game is HARD.
I heard it can be annoying because you have to shake the controller to roll, but I play on Dolphin so I just have to click the middle mouse wheel. xD

Eee, that's pretty! :D
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
