Make yourself stand out from the crowd and use a Beyblade to slice the sandwiches.

rofl I had this same issue when I tried to get a job at a supermarket... apparently people under 18 can't be trusted around box cutters. And I've been taking shop classes where I regularly use band saws and power tools since 7th grade... ...and still can't be trusted to not wound myself with a tiny knife? Wow.

Damn, my 17 years old brother got the same problem. He have to call someone 18+ to push the box cutter button, haha, really stupid.

If you play golf or tennis or something focused on Country Clubs get a job there. Get paid to give pointers to people. Get discounts on merchandise. Ride in a golf cart all the time. Surrounded by rich people all time. Amazing.

RE: Random Thoughts 5 - READ RULES IN FIRST POST - Wizard - Sep. 08, 2014
Today has just been a wreck. I had decided to watch some YouTube videos before doing my college work, and all of a sudden I looked up in time to watch the blue light from my webcam light up. Never in my life have I moved so fast, but I covered it with my thumb as quickly as I could as I began looking for something else to cover it with. I put a piece of thick, dark cloth over it and raced to my living room to unplug my modem, probably the smartest decision I have ever made.
Honestly, I was pretty scared. Was it a hacker or was it the NSA? Why would somebody even want to look through someone else's webcam and watch what they do in their private lives? Are they really that perverted? Luckily I covered it as soon as it turned on. Due to how fast I moved, I don't think they could have gotten a clear image of me.
I ended up backing up all of my manga, images and important files onto a thumb drive and restored my system back to factory settings, on the assumption that I may have been hit with a drive-by install. I called the FBI to report it, but that was a waste of my time. Apparently to report internet crime you have to go onto their website. You can't just call them like you do to report anything else/ I was pretty pissed. I explained to the women that my modem was unplugged, and I couldn't just plug it in because I was being hacked, to which she replied "I don't know anything about computers," rather than forwarding me to someone who actually specializes in that field. I was pretty pissed.
It may have been my fault, but I don't know. I was on a few fishy sites the other day, and my protection is expired so I might have been hit then. Turns out the protection I was using I can actually get for free through my internet provider, so I installed it after doing a system restore. After several hours of dealing with this, I finally did my English homework.
Moral of the story: Invasion of privacy isn't cool guys, especially when it keeps someone from doing their college work.
RE: Random Thoughts 5 - READ RULES IN FIRST POST - LMAO - Sep. 08, 2014
That must have been a scary experience. From what I know of, if your computer isn't protected, things like that happen all the time.
For once let's hope it was a virus and not someone actually hacking you. There are a lot of free antivirus/computer protection programs out there. You should definitely try some to be on the safe side.

Like I said, I was using good, paid antivirus but it expired. Luckily, I can get it for free through my internet provider (I didn't know) It's installed now, so I guess I can rest easy.

Antispyware can't always prevent someone from spying through your webcam. I keep a post-it over mine just in case, especially depending on what I'm doing online. It's pretty scary, to be honest.
RE: Random Thoughts 5 - READ RULES IN FIRST POST - Neo - Sep. 08, 2014
This is why I didn't bother getting a webcam..
RE: Random Thoughts 5 - READ RULES IN FIRST POST - Shido-kun - Sep. 08, 2014
I never thought something like that could happen.......If that happened to me I might have smashed the web cam.
RE: Random Thoughts 5 - READ RULES IN FIRST POST - MissingNo. - Sep. 08, 2014
Avast, Malwarebyte and McAffee are really good if you install both three on your system. It is barely impossible to "hack" you and if you got some viruses on your system, you just have to launch a scan and Avast will simply detect thems. McAffee is good for websites with popups and pubs, I think, and Malwarebyte is a backup to Avast and it add more security. This is the deadly combo.

This is why i dont leave webcams plugged in, anybody who has an xbox one is crazy imo, just having a webcam plugged in is one thing but a webcam thats always on is crazy

Also, I've heard about some not recommended websites that take pictures of you with your webcam and after post it on Internet. So, best way is simply to unplug it.

Just got a call back from Toys R Us to say that I got the job. If I can get any Beyblade information, I'll let you all know

Yeah, I'll probably just tape something over it when I'm not using it.

I'm waiting to hear back from a local pet store to schedule my second interview. The manager told me I'll definitely get another interview, I just don't know when.
Spent quite a bit of my time today working on scanlating a manga. It's not a shonen, so it's taking a bit more work. It's just me and a translator, so I'm doing all of the typesetting and cleaning by myself. It's not too bad, it's actually pretty fun, but it's also a little tiring. Hopefully I can find someone to help me out after a few releases.
EDIT: Oh yeah, I decided to talk to a girl today that I kind of know. I haven't really had any friends since I graduated in June, so I have been trying to find some people to talk to. I figured I would meet people in my classes, but there isn't really anybody my age. Anyway I kind of know her brother from high school, so I figured I'd try talking to her. Looks like I may have made a new friend.
