  • I’ve heard Walmart won’t even consider your application unless you list yourself with completely open availability. I can confirm that is what I listed when I was hired, over a decade ago. (I don’t work there anymore, so this isn’t direct insight.)

    Dollar general is always looking for people. It’s a shit job, but I worked there for a couple years back when nobody would hire me. Working somewhere looks better than not working anywhere for 2 years on a resume.

















  • Ok. It’s time for unsolicited German facts.

    The ß or “eszett” (also known as “scharfes s” or “sharp s”) is actually the combination of the old long s (ſ) and a regular s.

    ſ + s = ſs = ß

    Isn’t that neat? It’s also worth noting that no words start with ß, and it is lower-case only. If you need to write a word with an ß in all caps, replace it with a double s.

    Straße -> STRASSE

    Edit: not all of this is accurate, apparently. See comments below.
