Cover every surface with a fine layer of maple syrup, so they feel at home.

Easy, just be polite, don't mention Stephen Harper, and you should be fine. If things look bad, start distributing donuts and mention how great their beer is.

I dunno, if these are Canadians who work for WalMart at a management level, they're probably one promotion away from joining a Conservative riding association.

Given your history, I am pretty sure that every single person in this board is envisioning similarly awful scenarios.

The store opens next week and the manager is trying to get everyone's schedules posted for when that happens. He was just double-checking to make absolutely sure that as of next Friday I have no obligations on my time, which is indeed the case. No worries on that front.

The Canadians were really nice, actually!

Fortunately, we had a small carving of one of their Canadian folk heroes on our desk:

They seemed pleased by this.

Sort of like that, but two dozen people at once.

I passed. You can imagine the penalty for failure.

I am a rockstar and everyone knows it.

For a split second, I read that Wario icon as saying "Fellatio".

... I should probably go lie down.

I'm not THAT much of a rockstar.

After months of looking, I've got a job offer. Pay is good and it's working for my old boss from Clockwork, if the money is similar then I'll make $150+ in tips alone a night .

Job is in North Carolina. But! I've got a place to stay and the job is always open as long as he owns a restaurant.

It's actually very tempting.

Joxam · « **Reply #1852 on:** September 25, 2011, 01:14:57 PM »

Do it.

Ocksi · « **Reply #1853 on:** September 25, 2011, 01:56:41 PM »

Where in NC?

Lottel · « **Reply #1854 on:** September 25, 2011, 02:28:57 PM »

...Nashville? I think.

R^2 · « **Reply #1855 on:** September 25, 2011, 06:01:31 PM »

Huh, there actually is a Nashville, NC. I figured you meant Asheville until I looked.

I warn you, though. I live in Tennessee and it's excruciating, but it's goddamn cosmopolitan compared to North Carolina.

Mongrel · « **Reply #1856 on:** September 25, 2011, 10:16:49 PM »

Could be worse. Could be South Carolina! That town looks REALLY SMALL though. If the job ever goes south, your alternate prospects may be non-existent.

I actually have a friend in Asheville (which is sadly pretty far from Nashville NC)... it's a pretty progressive hippie university town. It is however not representative of the state. And it IS still in North Carolina.

Ocksi · « **Reply #1857 on:** September 26, 2011, 01:46:57 AM »

You clearly don't know much about NC.

Büge · « **Reply #1858 on:** September 26, 2011, 05:38:01 AM »

It's higher than South Carolina, right?

Why, you are correct!

I do think that town Lottel's talking about moving to looks really fucking small on the map.
