25 years old and deep in debt

[Ideologue]

Welcome to Human Resources.

The one kid I interviewed that came in with the contact email of "beavrlikr69@" on his application did not get to meet Human Resources.

Brian Eavrlikr never get a interview and he never knows why.

I will not forget the poor kid that came in with his necktie on the outside of the shirt collar. 
Dad obviously tied it for him the night before and left it on the doorknob.  Kid was 6 shades of red when we fixed it for him.

I had a witness once show up for court with a tie in hand, but no idea how to tie it. So yes, one of the many duties of my job apparently is tieing people's ties.

I appreciated the effort though.  Few witnesses show up with any kind of tie.

I don't really blame them.  The guy I represented in my clinical wasn't too far away from being homeless.  He managed to wear a polo shirt to his trial, so, you know, good enough.  Not everyone owns a suit, nor dress shirts, nor, as you say, ties--and I have a hard time saying, given the opportunity cost for such items would be dozens of meals or half of a rent payment, that they should.

I had to learn how to bind a tie before my oral exam. I was dead set on not wearing any, but then word of mouth was everyone was wearing one. So I rushed to the store next door, picked a nondescript one that I hoped wouldn't clash with my shirt and did what any guy in my situation would do: asked my landlady to help.

She didn't know how to bind a tie, though, because her husband and son were able to do it themselves. This was in 1999 - so internet access wasn't widespread yet. I had one at home, but not at my student room. So I spent an hour in front of the mirror, trying to produce something resembling a tie knot, instead of revising for the exam.

I managed to construct a thing that kinda looked like a proper knot, but the small end of the tie was now longer than the big one, and I'd run out of time. So I fixed it with a needle so it wouldn't show.

I'm able to bind my own ties these days.

The always stylish "Kruschev" knot.

Its weird but lately people have given be shit about my tendancy to have the big end of my tie be smaller than the thin end. That's the way I've always known it however, it makes sense to me, stops it flopping about everywhere.

Gah, I hate ties. Pointless stuff. Ridiculous we've got stuck in a rutt of wearing them.

[Jacob]

I wear ties most work days. By choice.

[Ideologue]

I wear a tie every now and then, but very rarely.

Seriously?

[Eddie Teach]

I saw that stuff when I was managing 50 people at a time and they were more entry-level jobs, but I haven't seen it recently. For the last round of hiring I am just completing, everybody wore ties.

That's sexist.

[CountDeMoney]

Yeah, I would too.  As well as keeping a spare and an extra shirt in the office.  Just in case.  You never know who's stopping by.

Pervert.

I used to have to wear a tie to school and can do a variety of knots, including the extra-fat Windsor with short ends and the Ska skinny. Does no-one teach kids "the farmer chased the rabbit round the tree, up into the branches and down the hole" any more?

Also on the subject of yoof, my colleague mentioned yesterday that her mum's a year younger than me, "but she looks like she's in her 30s and I borrow her clothes"

Doesn't get taught so much anymore.

I very, very rarely bother with a full Windsor- just haven't been in many situations where a half-Windsor wouldn't cut it.  Mostly, if I'm breaking out a tie, though, it's a last-minute thing and I just use a four-in-hand knot.

If it's any consolation, my mom is older than you.

Colleges Tackle Illicit Use of A.D.H.D. Pills

"Fresno State is one of dozens of colleges tightening the rules on the diagnosis of A.D.H.D. and the subsequent prescription of amphetamine-based medications like Vyvanse and Adderall.

Various studies have estimated that as many as 35 percent of college students illicitly take these stimulants to provide jolts of focus and drive during finals and other periods of heavy stress. Many do not know that it is a federal crime to possess the pills without a prescription and that abuse can lead to anxiety, depression and, occasionally, psychosis.
...
The University of Alabama and Marist College, like Fresno State, require students to sign contracts promising not to misuse pills or share them with classmates."
