Just moved into an apartment and it kinda stinks (not BAD, but not great either). I'm using an air freshener, but it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

So…I THINK I was offered a job…? He just said that he would need to hear just exactly how much it would pay because he didn't know at the moment, and that'll he call me later this week and ask if the wage is okay. Sounds good, except I was a complete nervous wreck during the conversation (which I later found out was basically a mini-interview); I kept thinking the conversation was over and kept inching closer to the exit when I thought we were done. Bleh. This is going to be a long several days. Wish me all the lucks you can give.
EDIT: So it looks like I got it and I start tomorrow! I suppose the cliche thing to say is that I'm nervous and excited, but with every new job I acquire, I always feel dead terrified that I'm going to stink at it. I mean I shouldn't, seeing as this is my first job pertaining to my field of study(!), but all the same, after having gone 1.5 years with no luck on that front, I really can't help but feel anxious.

I feel like I got gipped by Little Caesar's recently. It seems like all of their meal options show twice as much pizza in the advertisements as what you actually get. Here's an example:  The text says 4 slices, but there are 8 slices shown in the picture. In my case, I ordered a combo meal that consisted of 16 slices of deep dish pizza, crazy bread, and a 2 liter soda. Unlike the above example, the description was displayed on a poster with small print, and on a wall that served as the threshold between the kitchen and where customers were allowed, so I couldn't get that close to read it. Anyway, said meal only contained 8 slices as opposed to the 16 as advertised on the poster. I'd say that's a class action settlement lawsuit waiting to happen. |

Well, this wouldn't be the first example of a business ripping off its customers. I imagine the U.S. is especially bad for that. I'm within driving distance of a Little Ceasar's, but I prefer other pizza places in the area. There's a chain called Papa Leo's, a small business called Albion Pizza, and a Pizza Hut nearby as well. Oh, and sometimes my family likes to make the drive out for Me & Ed's, and I'm quite fond of their pizza too. Yeah, it's not hard to get pizza around here. Heck, there's a Panagopolis Pizza within driving distance as well. All that's missing is a Domino's, but I'm sure if I were to look that one up, I could find one fairly easily. Suffice to say though, the pizza market is pretty competitive. I'd suggest taking your business elsewhere in the future.

Suffice to say though, the pizza market is pretty competitive. I'd suggest taking your business elsewhere in the future. Sadly I don't own a car, so there are only a couple of options available within walking distance. There are two other pizza places, one whose pizza is "meh" at best, and the other is a Pizza Hut, but Pizza Hut is a little pricey on top of the fact that I'm supposed to tip them. I'll take my experience with Little Caesar's as a live-and-learn type of situation. Outside of the winter months, I'll still go; it's not the best pizza, but it's definitely not bad for the price. It's hard to beat $8 for 8 slices. |
