So I took a full Wonderlic test (for those that dont know, it is a supposed aptitude and intelligence test) for two different interviews this week. You know the one that they give NFL players and weight by giving them points for putting their name on it? Yeah, that one. After taking these tests, I realized something:
I AM TOTALLY UNDERUSED
I mean if this test means jack shit (Which I don’t fully believe it does. I put very little stock in it but seeing as how I have taken it no less than seven times companies must) but once again, I did pretty good. I ranted about this about a year and a half ago before I started working at Qwest. I was pissed because I was told I was OVER-FUCKING-QUALIFIED because I got a 42 on the Wonderlic test (The max is a 50 so judge for yourself) and aced the other portions. That and they told me the pay and once again I slipped up and said “What am I, homeless?” and I REALLY need to not do that. I got a 40 yesterday and a 37 today (It was 9am. Sue me) and the recruiter looked at me like I was some sort of freak. Is being unable to take a test the norm?
My main issue is the fact that this test shows nothing. The questions relate to jackshit about anything any job I have ever done actually requires. Also add in the fact that I usually skip and/or guess all the questions that have to do with math and you see this test is utterly and completely worthless. I mean seriously; I ace all of the non-math questions and skip or BS the math questions and I get higher than the average score for a fucking CHEMIST?! Even worse is that adding this up with my IQ (which ranged from 127-137 when I took the tests from High School to college) my total Intelligence Quotient, or IQ totals up to a score of 146, which is supposedly “Highly Gifted” (BULLSHIT! I can barely tie my shoes!). Now that mean that I am pretty much able to read directions and not shoot myself in the face but still. There are people that do that all the time and make more than I do or ever have. To that I say bullshit.
If people were given jobs and paid based on their IQ, the workforce would be screwed up. I mean look at the fact that I have friends with degrees working at Best Buy and Comcast and are making the same as people that are marginal in intelligence and are only qualified for wiping their own ass (which they still do marginally). Last I checked, Communism is bad. So why pay all people the same when their qualifications are not? Peyton Manning makes more than Vince Young (I believe) because he is GOOD. Paying all players the same defeats the want to achieve because you know that no matter how hard you work and no matter how smart you are you will still make the same amount as those that can’t find South Carolina on a map. I know South Carolina sucks but you get the idea.
I just had to get that out. Seeing as how standardized testing got me shit and all a college degree has gotten me is a nifity tassle to hang my NDK passes on, my anger is a tad bit high. But it is what it is. Time to kick it old school!
Anyone remember that one? Worst song ever! Peace out, ya’ll!
Chachi Out
Friday, September 21, 2007
Sushi, Ron Jeremy and Aqua Timez? Pretty Good Week!
What it be, people! I am back and it is Friday so you know what we gots for you! Resident Evil 3 tonight and The Gameplan (maybe) tomorrow) but before that, you know what time it is. It’s time for….
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
We start with a J-Pop legend on their way out…
20. L`Arc~en~Ciel – Seventh Heaven (Last Week #17, One week at #1)
After a stint at number one, one of the biggest bands in J-Rock history is on their way out. It has been a busy half year for Hyde and the boys with a bevy of live performances and TWO videos (more on that) for their fans viewing pleasure. Album soon? We can dream…
19. Yui - Jam (New Entry)
….OF MORE YUI! Okay, I have a confession: women in hoodies is hot to me. Its my weakness. You know what else is my weakness? Yui’s fine ass. All I can say if that as long as she puts out videos, my love for her will never die. More Yui!
18. L`Arc~en~Ciel – My Heart Dreams A Dream (New Entry)
More of The Arc?! This day just gets better and better! I actually like this video a tad bit more than “SEVENTH HEAVEN” because of Hyde and all of his manliness is in full effect. Can you say “animal magnetism?”
17. AI – Brand New Day (Last Week # 14)
Despite not reaching the top spot this time out, AI is still holding on to the Top 20 this week. I have said it once and I will say it again. I WANT ME AN AI ALBUM RIGHT NOW. I am through playing around, I needs my fix. Give me some Zeebra while you are at it.
16. Kanye West feat. T-Pain - GoodLife (Last Week #19)
THE GORILLA HAS BEEN SLAYED! Kanye totally CRUSHED 50 Cent in their battle for hip hop supremacy and all I can say is that I cant be any happier about it. I despise Fiddy and I am glad he got not only beaten by Kanye, but he damn near got beat by Kenny Chesney. Sweet justice. Oh, and ‘Ye has two videos on the Top 20 this week along with Yui and L`Arc~en~Ciel. Good Life and good stuff.
15. Hearts Grow - Mimawari (Last Week #10, Plunge of the Week)
Where is the damn Hearts Grow?! It has been almost four months and I have heard little to nothing on the new video front. This is not cool! I love this song and I needs me some more!
14. Tenjo Chiki (TSZX) – Pirhrana (Last Week #12)
Oh no, the momentum has stalled a bit for Tenjo Chiki. Must mean Hinoi Team is coming back :) Just kidding, still think they’s sexy but other videos kick more ass right now…
13. Common feat Lily Allen – Driving Me Wild (Last Week #16)
….Like this one. All I can say is that the more Common the better. Not only that, thanks to Nicole this Lily Allen person is growing on me. Not too shabby, as her voice is like Dido minus the Sarah McLaughlin vibe to it. Good stuff on both sides.
12. Yui – Love & Truth (Last Week #13)
In only a YEAR, Yui has tied UVERworld with the most videos on the Top 20 with five. With two going to #1 (Rolling Star and CHE.R.RY) and one at #2 for a month (My Generation) she is up there with UGK and John Legend in the battle for the Chachi for the Artist of the Year. Big stuff from Yui.
11. Chamillionare – Hip Hop Police (Last Week #9)
After a stint in the Top 10, Chamillionare falls outside this week. I just picked up “Ultimate Victory” and he stayed true, the cursing and “n-word” usage are at a minimum. And it actually sounds pretty damn good. No one will buy it because people are stupid but to each their own. Still, great video albeit it fell this week. Onto the Top 10!
10. UGK feat. Outkast – International Players Anthem (Last Week #7, Seven weeks at #1)
The kings of the underground are holding on to the Top 10 with all they have this week as they fall three spots. The biggest video of the year is still hanging in there even with nothing new from either artist on the horizon. They really arent capitalizing on this video because this song was one of the years best and the video was novel. Eh, thems the breaks.
9. Soulja Boy – Crank That [Soulja Boy] (Last Week #15, Biggest Mover)
Superman that ho! Soulja Boy makes a HUGE leap this week, cranking that Robocop up six spots this week and into the Top 10! I am actually anticipating this album because…I don’t know. But I am.
8. Kanye West feat. Daft Punk – Stronger (Last Week #5, One week at #1)
With another video on the way up, Kanye’s #1 video falls three more spots this week and out of the Top 5. Once again, I am happy he beat 50 Cent because hopefully he will get the idea that we are tired of his shitty work. Probably NOT, but it was worth it.
7. Mihimaru GT – Gazen Yeah! (Last Week #11)
Yay! This will be the new ringtone…once I get off my ass and do it. This video is fucking great and there better be a new album soon. I remember they had a Greatest Hits album a few months ago but this should signal some new and awesome work coming soon. I love the fall!
6. Sowelu, EXILE & DOBERMAN INC – 24 Karat (Last Week #8)
More yummy ladies? Man, this is a good ass week. Sowelu leads the pack upward, falling outside of the Top 5. This single is badass and the video is well…look at it. It’s fricking hot as hell and you know it. The more Sowelu, the less I kill. You can thank her later.
5. Nelly Furtado – Do It (Last Week #6)
Well isnt THIS familiar? Nelly Furtado has her fourth Top 5 video as she makes a bid for the top spot. Although it was almost NINE months ago since she was this high (January) it is better late than never. Oh, and she is hot. Thought I should mention that one more time. Just yummy.
4. Abingdon Boys School – Nephilim (Last Week #2)
After two weeks as runner up, TM could not lead them to the promised land for the second time in 2007. Even still, they came hella close but had to sit behind the juggernaught that is Aqua Timez. We are down to three so who pushed Abingdon Boys School out of the runner up spot?
3. UVERworld - Shaka Beach~Laka Laka La~ (Last Week #4)
UVERworld is going for history! Five videos, five in the Top 3 including three number one videos. It has been a slow year for The ‘World (Last seen with Zero No Kotae in Feburary) but they are coming on strong to end the year. But who kept them from #2? Well, it is a familiar foe…
2. John Legend – Stereo (Last Week #3)
John Legend is trying to get his FOURTH number one video as well and has played the Boston Celtics to UVERworld’s Detroit Pistons for the second time. This video isnt played much on TV (sans VH1 Soul which showed it…twice?) but that cant hold back its awesomeness. I love this song and you will love it too. But the love isnt enough to put it at number one…
1. Aqua Timez - Alones (Last Week #1, Three weeks at #1)
…Because to be at number one you have to RAWK! And Aqua Timez does it in spades. This video holds the top spot for the third straight week even with UVERworld, John Legend and Nelly Furtado nipping below. Now THAT is how you show your power, holding off all challengers to the throne. Bleach rules your face!
Well, that is all this week! Can Aqua Timez hold off the lions below and stay at #1 for a full month? Ir will John Legend or UVERworld set the record with their fourth #1 video? Don’t forget the rest, you never know what will happen! Tune in next Friday to see who has the most awesome video in the world!
