Ask The Staff: Non site-related questions!

It's generally agreed upon that we don't sell off or giveaway event collectibles we obtained through being staff because it's unfair for (a) us to make a profit off of it; or (b) to show favouritism to specific users.

Things we bought ourselves and/or are common are fine though. e.g. I doubt anyone would get upset if I were to giveaway the 20-odd mittens and yellow candies in my inventory.

are we talking random selection giveaway or sending to selected specific people giveaway?

since not too sure how the former would be showing favoritism, but I suppose it is better to err on the side of caution, lest someone thinks you rigged the results for whatever reason

What are your current obsessions

Cats are always an obsession of mine! I can't get enough of my little fuzzbutts and how much happiness they bring me every day.

A current, newer obsession of mine would be buffalo sauce and putting it on everything I eat, within reason of course. I've been putting it on fries, pizza, basically anything that might taste even remotely good with some kick gets a dousing of buffalo sauce.

Long-sleeve shirts, pin-up tattoos, volcano chicken, and My Chemical Romance.

Reliving my teens with that last one. I was going to try and get tickets to their London show in June but now I've plans to go to the Middle East this summer instead.
 
do mods get paid? or do they have a regular job / life like the rest of us and do this in their spare time?

We do not get paid for our work here on TBT unfortunately! I work full time as a scientist and also volunteer with two organisations.

Wouldn't this be awesome?! As Tina said, all the staff are here as volunteers. For my "real" job, I work as a senior stock analyst and I also own a real estate investment company with a partner.

hire me somewhere I want out of retail

Yeah, you can clean the places after a move-out! The college kids I've rented to are great. Really good at hitting the toilet when using the bathroom and have absolutely mastered the delicate art of rinsing their dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. There were definitely no repeated instances of hot lasagna water all over the floor because of sheer incompetence!

And hey, there's no shame in retail. I think we've all been there. :)
