Leonardo DiCaprio - De-Caprio (OT) #10: But then you kiss me and suddenly I don't care anymore - Page 2

As you can see I changed my user-name. Chelbh just didn't fit me anymore. And part of the perks of being a mod is you get to change it once a year if you'd like. The 'Chel in my name originally had to do with the last four letters in my name (Rachel) which was my nickname in college due to their being more than one Rachael in my friends group that year. The BH had to do with the only girl friendship I supported on One Tree Hill. lol. That was so long ago. The only thing I still love about that show is the real life Joy (see icon) and her music. That's where my new name comes in. Ever heard her song John & Junior? It's heavenly.

You call me a dreamer and I'll call you comfortable
While I'm on my adventure you’ll be safe with your ego and your're
Hiding beneath the skin of an unlearned warrior

I take it as a warning. It reminds me to make the most out of life. Comfortable doesn't necessarily equal happiness. I guess I've been thinking of my aunt a lot. She killed herself less than a month after Heath died. No relation to that though.

Anyways, I'll be gone for most of the day today. Hope everyone is doing well.

Wow. So how does that work for firing people? Do the employers wait for their employees contract to end and then sue them afterward?

xXxCaycexXx · 09-22-2008, 07:32 PM

hey everyone

how are you all?

Today i am just relaxing and watching some DVDs which i bought on the weekend. My interview for the makeup college is on Thursday so only two days away now

xx

Miranda · 09-23-2008, 05:51 AM

Cayce - My weekend was good, I worked, watched a movie and relaxed

This weekend I am going out again so

what about your weekend?

Rach - Well if they employers have good reasons to fire somebody they can whether or not they have contract. But it really has to be a very good reason cause otherwise you can't just fire people for no reason.. how does it work in America?

**Safe*With*Your*Ego** · 09-23-2008, 09:05 AM

yay Cayce, one more day 'til your interview! Though Thursday is still another two days for me

The first three months are probational so a person can be fired without given reason as to why. After that you just know you got to watch your back 'cause you know they don't need a good reason to fire you. All you gotta do is tick them off once and then they'll say you're not producing or whatnot.

Really? it works like that? that sucks, I mean so if your boss just flat out doesn't like you he can fire you and just give you another reason right?

xXxCaycexXx · 09-23-2008, 05:30 PM

Hey

Miranda- thanks for the luck

My weekend was good, i went shopping

so thats always good. I'll let you know how it goes.

Rach- yeah time zones are confussing

I bought 'The aviator' with Leo, then i bought 'raise your voice' and 'material girls' with Hilary Duff and i also bought a bette Davis box set with four Dvds and i also bought a tin of about ten olden day movies which are black and white so i watched a few of them

how is your day today?

xx

That's exactly right. You can't just make sure your boss likes you but the workers your boss is close with, you know, the people higher up than you. Otherwise you're screwed. Contracts seem like a really good idea to me. I don't think anyone would go for it though.

Oh did you watch (or have you seen) What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? and All About Eve? Those are some serious films!

xXxCaycexXx · 09-23-2008, 10:50 PM

Rach- No i havent seen those but i think i might have them. Was Bette Davis in both of those? I really like Olden day black and white films. i think there really inspiring. Today i watched 'Till the clouds roll by' which i loved

Jojo · 09-24-2008, 03:33 AM

Hi guys. Sorry I haven't been on for a few days. Had some problems with my internet connection. How've you all been?

**Safe*With*Your*Ego** · 09-24-2008, 10:48 AM

I'm leaving to go out-of-town in fifteen minutes from now for two days so I'm not sure how often I'll get to check the board. I'll be back Friday evening pacific time.

Yeah, she was! She was nominated for an academy award for both of those films

xXxCaycexXx · 09-24-2008, 04:25 PM

Jor-

how are you going?

Rach- Oh have fun, what do you plan on doing while your there? I guess I'll talk to you when you get back. I really want to see those films now. Are you a big Bette Davis fan?

Jojo · 09-25-2008, 03:27 AM

I'm doing well, Cayce

Just got a two-week job at a water company. I start on Monday. It's gonna be nice to have something to do and not go around being bored all day long.

Rachel - I just now saw the reasoning behind your name. I love the thought you put into it. Sorry to hear about your aunt.
