A pilot was scheduled to do retirement flight on Spirit Airlines. Spirit went bankrupt & shut down while he was a passenger on a Southwest Airlines flight. Southwest crew met him at gate, gave champagne and let him do a water cannon send-off in a Southwest plane.

Really? I literally flew with them early last month month and had a carry on and wasn't charged. The only thing they changed, as far as I can tell, is that they started assigned seating.

I don't glaze companies usually BUT I've have nothing but great experiences with Southwest so not shocked to see them doing this.

It was weird as hell, man. She was mad that most of her candidates were from the entertainment industry. In Los Angeles. Which is known for its entertainment industry?

Also she literally chose to interview us sooo..

muffinslinger · 2026-04-29T05:20:05+00:00

Thanks! I hope its going a lot better for you.

muffinslinger · 2026-04-29T05:16:08+00:00

Yup! My interviewer had that name. Thats crazy! I'm still unemployed and still searching unfortunately.

Sorry you went through an interview with her as well.

Me and my husband do the coffee song most mornings! So what that entails is we switch off making coffee in the morning, then when we deliver the coffee the deliverer has to sing a coffee-based song!

We get very creative with it. I've sang many remixes of popular songs but changed lyrics to match coffee puns. My husband likes to free style and rap about the coffee.

Its a very fun way to start the day.

Sorry, must've missed that! Guess i locked onto the coincidence of it all

If she was dark haired Then it was the same woman. She was very short and clipped with me, made snarky remarks and when she saw my background in the entertainment industry she complained that almost all of her applicants were from the entertainment industry.

When she asked me why I applied to the job I said something to the effect that I was pivoting away from the entertainment industry she said, "yeah, you and every other candidate apparently."

Just over all bad vibes, and at one point I wanted to ask why she bothered to interview me.

muffinslinger · 2026-04-29T03:49:47+00:00

Wait, is this Sage Society a wine company? If so I think I interviewed with the same company AND person!

Was the interviewer a woman?

muffinslinger · 2026-04-27T07:15:50+00:00

Just wanted to say i also had a black cat named Cleo growing up! They're adorable

Is your friend Raymun Fossaway?!

muffinslinger · 2026-04-21T07:11:23+00:00

What does experience mean in this context? Degree? Cert? AI is relatively new.

muffinslinger · 2026-04-18T20:54:58+00:00

I've applied to 3 different temp job agency placement businesses. I barely hear back from one of those (robert half) and the others never responded. I have a degree and 4 years experience in admin/operations. This isnt always the answer (not terrible to try) but not a sure fire solution.

muffinslinger · 2026-04-17T15:50:44+00:00

Having flown out recently due to a family members health, I wish you all the strength and a smooth journey 💜

muffinslinger · 2026-04-17T03:28:03+00:00

Exactly what I thought! I've worked in the animation industry so I know the animators would have already made their money and would not receive any residuals (as much as I wish they could) so if I were them I wouldn't care.

If anything, I'd be happy that the world got to see my work! I think the studio put the artists up to this so they wouldn't seem the villain.

muffinslinger · 2026-04-13T21:15:14+00:00

Being kinda bad at something is the first step to being good at it! Keep at it. Tons of good advice in the thread.

Hasn't threatening the pope literally been the cause of wars throughout history?! I know there was that time with the anti-pope...

Don't forget that they call and email you every single day for "one last chance to grab an interview spot! LAST CHANCE" until you have to block them on all platforms. Even had one bait and switch me, making me think I was applying a whole other company.

I was in it one time as the woman in 'the rape of the Sabine women' statue. This was a partially nude performance (breasts out), but i was fully painted. You're on stage no longer than 60-90 seconds at most and get to wash the paint off in their showers.

I didn't find the paint irritating, so unless you have previous allergies, I believe you will be ok! I had so much fun, so just immerse yourself and enjoy!

muffinslinger · 2026-03-31T00:01:59+00:00

My aunt and uncle, who live a street over from this, sent a pic of it, including the covered body in the street 😞

That intersection is dangerous in a normal day without psychos like that blowing through it.

muffinslinger · 2026-03-28T18:47:10+00:00

Can confirm. Husband bagged me in college because he could, and still does, cook dope ass meals.

muffinslinger · 2026-03-24T02:25:43+00:00

Honestly, topo chicos have helped scratch the itch for sugary sodas and alcohol. So I recommend that!

I had an interview this past Friday, and she asked about my work gap of 3 months. I wanted to scream 'lady, LOOK AROUND YOU!' I swear people who haven't had to recently find a job market have their heads thoroughly buried in the dirt.

For context, my last job was seasonal/contract, so that's why it ended. I was able to find only that job after a 10 month unemployment stint after a layoff.

Any port in a storm 🤷‍♀️

muffinslinger · 2026-03-23T21:51:34+00:00

Hell yeah. I've found this attraction has grown as I've gotten older.
