That does, I have 2 360's and have never had a problem. Probably every friend I know with one, has had it...and that sucks for them. I've been lucky I guess. Theres no warranty and/or recall on them to get a new one?

4 of My Xbox Live friends are playing Bioshock Demo right now.

Flip a coin.

What Number code are you getting on your 360?

Tried the demo for 'Hour of Victory'. I was very disappointed. Amongst many things making the game bad, the tanks are too fast and can flip over way too easily.

Also climbing a rope switches the camera to cutscene mode...which is really unneeded.

Every once in a while, when I open a file in Media Player Classic, my sound just... stops working. I can't play any songs (it just sits at 0:00 when I press play) and my video has no sound.

Does anyone else have this problem? *restarts computer*

Today was my first day off in a little over a week. I got a call around 7:00 from Michelle (a co worker) her husband was just rushed to the hospital and she wanted to be there... being the nice guy I am... I filled in for her.

I got to work and realised I was stuck working with Nicole... Nicole is a dipshit.

She doesn't do shit, she's slow at the few things she does do, and she gets side tracked WAY too easily. Unless you tell her to do something fourteen times, she won't be doing it.

The store closes at 10:00... I didn't get home until around 11:06....

Yea, it took us an hour to close the store... why? Lack of team work. I ended up doing all of the closing duties except closing down register #1...

(that took her about a half hour... and she didn't even have to count the money in it... )

I have to work from 8 AM -2 PM tomorrow... it's 11:18...

Leaving work, knowing that I have to be there in 9 hours just isn't comforting...


In closing... fuck that bitch.

sux llama =(

Tell the manager/supervisor. don't necessarily say she's a bitch and that she sucks (because they may end up telling her), but rather she keeps trying to make you do all the work or something. It should draw attention to her inability to do anything and hopefully she gets fired ;p

She's a newbie there... and she only works every other week aswell... we're horribly understaffed as it is, and... fuck it she needs to go.

I've known the owner/manager all my life, and she asked me what I thought of her two weeks ago... I told her how the two hours I spent with her that night went (again... I was filling in for someone... bah) and... in those two hours she only filled one cooler... and it took her about half an hour... when I offered advice she gave me an attitude and said "Yea, I know... I'd rather do it this way".... (I told her how to carry 24 bottles at a time... rather than four... like she was doing....)

I told the manager how I felt about my time working with her and she did speak with Nicole, Nicole did alright the next day, but... now here she is again... slacking hardcore.... The manager will be working tomorrow.. and I'm going to have to put in a word with her.

If I don't work at it, I don't go home. I usually get to leave around 10:15... I punched out at 11:06

*sigh*

The manager is too nice to really do anything.

We had to fire an employee for her one time (while the manager was out of town :D)

the employee was stealing, coming in uber late, leaving without reason/warning.... hiding in the bathroom for 2 hours......... the manager knew all this... and so.. we decided to just let her go..
