Check out these freaks at Linux Mall! If you want a job with them (in a "simultaneously fun, laid back and high pressure mode,") you have to be some kind of WEIRDO who's not only not allowed to smoke or wear perfumes, but apparently not allowed to KNOW ANYBODY WHO SMOKES!
It's all true:
"We have some people with allergies & chemical sensitivities, so we try to maintain a "safe" work environment. As such perfumes, and any non-natural or scented personal care items are strongly discouraged. We have approved products in all categories that we can share & refer you to. Anyone who smokes, or has immediate family that smokes need not apply."
What they mean by that "need not apply" line is "WE HATE YOU! YOU SMELL LIKE A FART! DIE!"
Also, they pay RIDICULOUSLY LOW salaries, like eight bucks an hour, and they expect you to work ELEVEN HOURS A DAY!
Ah HAHAHAHAHA! So don't nobody go work for Linux Mall, OK? Stupid John Tesh-loving weirdo sensitivity nazis! Fuckers!!!11

Three Days and 25 Spocktails: A Cautionary Tale
Johnnie Royale picked me up from the dental surgery. I felt warm, safe, cradled in the anathesia's loving embrace. The pharmacy downstairs gave me a bottle of Vicodin and a few instructions: take it with food, don't mix with alcohol, don't operate heavy machinery. I put it in my pocket and we left. "Do you want to go home, or do you want to go to a bar?" asked Johnnie. (More...)
