Did i make the right choice concerning this job?
i had a part time job, it was fast food. i like that it was flexible enough to have with my other job, and i liked making the extra money.however, they only gave me a couple of days a week, even tho i told them i could and wanted to work more. they hired someone else after me and gave them lots of hours, sometimes they would say they overshceduled and tell me not to come in which i didnt like since they would call last minute and it was too late to pick up a shift at my other job. .i wasnt being trained on what they told me they would train me on. and the environment was hostile. all the bosses would belittle the employees, and if the employees had a problem they would just watch them fight not even bother to calm things down. plus they would talk about coworkers badly to each other and other employees right there right in front of the person. which is rude and makes people uncomfortable. i treid to let it roll off my back, until one day i came in 7 minutes late, and my boss claimed he put me on a no call no show. i have never no call no showed and of course i was standing right in front of him, so even if he was mad that i was late he didnt have to still say no call no show. to me that is like saying i dont want you here, so i left after that, and called the district manager to say i didnt want it to be put down as a no call no show since i was there. he claimed it was just words, but i took that seriously because thats not a rational thing to do, it is petty and i dont know where its really coming from. the previous week i had worked one day and it was hard to make it through the shift i had thought about quitting, because of the completely ridculous and rude and mean behaior of the employees toward another employee. i decide to giv it another try and not quit so easily. anyway the distrcit manager asked if i wanted to still work there since they put time into training me. i said i wasnt sure and he said he would talk to my boss. then he called me to tell me that me the district manager and my boss should all have a meeting. i feel that is too much for a fast food job that was only giving me a few days a week, and i didnt feel it would be productive, i felt it would be a way to pass blame. plus now that i have gone over my bosses head it will not be a better situation for me. my bosses ae not professional, and they surely would not be happy with me for calling their boss on them. prior to the incident,i was planning to have sit down with my boss directly to talk about getting more hours or training, but we did ot get to that point. i told the district manager i did not wantt to work there anymore. i did want to work there but not under those circumstances,what do you think? did i leave too easily, or was it not worth the time to go through all of that?

you probably did the right thing....for some reason your boss there did not like you...hence the lower hours and hassle. You should be honest with yourself and analyze why it was so...(and he is a jerk is not the answer). Use this as life experience. In future though you should leave on decent terms even though you were jerked around because you need them as a reference...I'd phone the district manager and ask if you can use him as a reference when you go after another job...he may say yes...then thank him. on a final note...if you are applying for another job and they want references...it is good to phone him and jog his memory saying that this new job sounds great and you appreciated what you learned while working for him...this will make sure he will member you if they call.

Does anyone still have interest in traditional film photos?
Does anyone still have interest in traditional film photos?
It's been a hobby of mine for a while now to shoot black-and-white 35mm on a totally old-school Canon AE-1 SLR camera. I really enjoy the sort of manual feel to everything and it makes me feel like I have more control over what I'm shooting and how I want it to look. I know that digital cameras already have controllable variables like f-stops and shutter speeds and such, but I just like working with manual cameras. Recently I bumped into a few critics at my university who asked to see some of my prints and seemed to really like them. So my question is, do people still care about black-and-white shots? And if they do, is there a way for me to make a little money on the side by doing what I love? How?

Actually in the art field there are very few digital prints that draw much interest. All the prints you see hanging in galleries are photographic prints and all have been processed archivally and are mounted following archival methodology. There should be an annual judged art show open to the teaching staff, staff and students. That is one way to get some recognition and have the opportunity to sell your work
2 :
Absolutely! Film still rules. Some photo galleries still show black-and-white print collections. If a print is well done, people will pay for it, no matter if it was digital or "silver." Just think of the work of Mary Ellen Mark, Ansel Adams, Weston and so many others who have done their best work (or all their work) in black and white. I take some digital shots but I still take more (and better) shots with my film camera. Since I have been shooting for a long time, I have a number of very good lenses and camera bodies. To replace what I have with digital will cost a small fortune. So keep working on your portfolio and your printing skills. Obviously you are on the right track. What matters is the result, not the technology.

My favorite has always been "You can't take it with you." They made a whole movie about it by the same title. I was actually in a play version of it in high school in the role of Mr. Dipina. If you don't mind old black&white flicks I highly recomend trying to find it and watch it. Jimmy Stewart and John Barrymore are in it. They also starred together in "It's a Wonderful Life" as George Bailey and Mr. Potter.

"Happiness comes from spiritual wealth, not material wealth... Happiness comes from giving, not getting. If we try hard to bring happiness to others, we cannot stop it from coming to us also. To get joy, we must give it, and to keep joy, we must scatter it." ~ John Templeton “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed.†Mahatma Gandhi “A greedy father has thieves for children†Serbian Proverb “He who is greedy is always in want.†Horace “Avarice is always poor†Samuel Johnson "Success has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It's what you do for others." ~ Danny Thomas "We tend to forget that happiness doesn`t come as a result of getting something we don`t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have." Frederick Keonig “Infinitely more important than sharing one's material wealth is sharing the wealth of ourselves -- our time and energy, our passion and commitment, and, above all, our love.†William E. Simon "The more I study the wealthy.. in an effort to learn how to help more people around the world become one of them.. I’m stunned by how many people are actually not rich." David Bach "No one can earn a million dollars honestly." William Jennings Bryan "A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money." W. C. Fields "He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money." Benjamin Franklin "Riches may enable us to confer favours, but to confer them with propriety and grace requires something that riches cannot give." Charles Caleb Colton "It is pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness; poverty and wealth have both failed." Kin Hubbard "The pursuit of money is in some ways a very shallow thing and it won't bring happiness unless your mind is prepared to use that money in ways that expand it and satisfy it. So, to me an interest in science and literature and the arts, is all part of just being a full human being, and of course you've got to make some money as well, but our education system it seems to me, should be producing fully rounded human beings who can say, 'I've lead a really satisfying life. I've had all the tools I need to be able to lead a great life,' rather than just, 'I made some money.' " Tim Flannery

I'm sort of in trouble. You see, I have dreams of becoming an actress, presently i live in Canada, and don't like it. I left College after a year and a half in th professional theatre program to move to New York where I got accepted to The New York Film Academy. unfortunately I couldn't make up the money, so technically im not going anymore. Chances ae I maybe moving to Florida with m sister and just go to college there and and get a Bachelor's in Fine Arts. My problem is that right now I am really broke. I would like to leave here as soon as possible (like the 15th of January) but I don't want her to end up paying all for me. So im looking to see if there are things I can do here before I leave to get some money and then move there and work full-time. Would any of you have ideas to help me?

Absolutely agree. The abercrombie company is made up of a bunch rich ass bitches with a stick up their ass. They wanna make their stuff seem high fashion when in fact their clothes are crappy and have a repeating , never changing style and collections.

No. Abercrombies clothes are just cuter. Dont get me wrong, I shop at AE too but I have to say I like hollister and a and fs clothes a lot more
5 :
Hey, you have a point there. I did notice that American Eagle's sizes are a bit bigger than abercrombie and Hollister's. I can't fit into their cute jeans!!! Darn! Also, AE has more sales/clearances. Don't forget the All-Access Pass! People want to get more points, so, they shop more. I have one, and it really motivates me...somehow, I still like A&F and HCO more...and PINK by Victoria's Secret! I'm obsessed with it. I guess I'm just another one of those preppy girls. Oh well. Bye and I hope this helps you!

I think AE maybe does make more money than Abercrombie because more people do shop at AE. Abercrombie's cloth are really cute but not worth the price. I can actually but a genuine designer such as Ralph Lauren with the 39.99 for a polo shirt in Abercrombie. If you can afford it, great. If you think it's really just not worth it then just don't shop there. Personally , I think their high price is not a result of the lack of people shopping there rather than the people that they direct their products at. They aim their market at the affulents and the Laguna-Beach-like people.

From CEO of Abercrombie "It's almost everything. That's why we hire good-looking people in our stores. Because good-looking people attract other good-looking people, and we want to market to cool, good-looking people. We don't market to anyone other than that." As far as Jeffries is concerned, America's unattractive, overweight or otherwise undesirable teens can shop elsewhere. "In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids," he says. "Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don't belong [in our clothes], and they can't belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely. Thats why.
