    I never use any of the additional little whozits on my Intuos...just the tablet area.

    And Mustang - I always end up with a pair of sneakers lying around because I think "oh, I can use these old ones to go hiking in, and keep my new shoes clean"....and I always end up lying to myself because the new shoes just feel too damn nice to take off.

    I'm the same way, I get sentimental with old objects and pack them away. I got rid of a ton of stuff during my last move, but still have entirely too much.

    Man... now I want to slow down a lot of my favorite songs 8x, just to see if they sound anything like this. I can't believe I'm listening to beiber *cringe*

    I use the touchstrips on the cintiq at work and my intuos at home near constantly. I set it up to change brush size.

    They tear trees down, grind them up, mix them up with water and other stuff, then press it on heated felt. Then they bind up a number of pages and sell it.

    Fun fact: One of the few things I remember from school is how to make paper. They had someone come in with some felt, tree pulp, and a press and had us make paper.

    As every person should, it's a survival skill. If you're out in the wilderness and all you have are trees, you can create a crude form of paper money which can be used to create a simple economy, thus allowing you to purchase goods and services related to getting out of the wilderness.

    The other thing we learned is how to cheat. We had a contest where each class tried to get the most paper together for some recycling drive.

    One of the students had a dad who was high up in a local newspaper. We had a truckload of "used" newspaper delivered.

    We won, but everyone knew.

    :(

    I'd just use leaves since I'm all pragmatic like that, but I think the inflation might get a bit out of hand.

    Today I worked 10-9, tomorrow I work 7-9. I'm tired.
    The worst part is, my 350lb lazy ass roommate has been on unemployment for more than a year, getting paid more a week than I do while he plays WoW and SC2 all goddamn day while NOT doing his dishes and posting on facebook about how he's "losing weight" by "being more active" and "eating better" even though the dude eats a full pack of hotdogs a day and makes absolutely no effort to either save his free money for a car or get a job. Instead he spends his money on boxes of Magic cards. And here I am working my tail off so people like him can exploit the system and continue to get extensions on getting paid to do absolutely nothing. I can't wait for the lease to go up in October, the douche head.

    I'd use the money to pre-order the next first-party Nintendo title. Did I mention the first thing I built in my wilderness civilization was a Gamestop? I'm just sick of only getting four 'Filyaw Bucks' for 'Survivor: Where the hell are we?' on my trade in. Did any of that make sense?

    I've decided that if I run out of money, all I need is a laptop with wifi and my bamboo, and I'll be alright. I'll beg for change and deposit into my bank to keep my web hosting account live (it's only about 5 bucks a month for hosting, 10 bucks a year for domain.)

    I'll sleep with my laptop between my thighs, so I know no one will go near it. I will also just start walking west until I get to Seattle (2764 miles) where I'll hunker down behind the Penny-Arcade building and leech their wi-fi to post my own comics. It's gonna be epic.

    Having spent three + years working as a cashier and seeing what kind of crap people buy with food stamp money and living with someone who lives off unemployment has made me into an extremely bitter human being. I have no faith in the System, because there are SO many people that exploit it. Probably more than those that don't.

    I'm just starting unemployment in a couple weeks, but I've been working my ass off trying to get any job. I've sent out 85 applications/resumes and followed up on about 30% of them (only 30% because many of them were online). It's more than a bit disturbing that your roomate is doing that though...

    I have a problem getting jobs. I never have a problem holding jobs.

    Just getting them.

    I lack motivation.

    I worked as a cashier at a convenience/liquor store for a long time though, and I totally get where MD is coming from. Truly though, a stereotype is a stereotype, and lumping any group of people together is unproductive and unfair.

    I've worked for the same company for 15 years. I think I might be institutionalized.

    I'm currently unemployed because I'm batshit crazy. There was this one company I loved working at, everyone loved me, but I was just freaking out all the time. I have some sort of extreme anxiety disorder, where just about every task I perform that might have repercussions if I fail will just cause me to freeze like a stone. I did manage to find a job that didn't make me hyperventilate every minute of every day, but 3 weeks after I started, they laid everyone off. (Even the migrant workers!)

    There's pills for what I got, but I can't affords 'em! Still looking for that menial data-entry position that won't make me want to jump out a window in a fight or flight response.

    Wait, are you my wife? No you can't be, she doesn't have a webcomic. Or does she?

    Seriously my wife has the same anxiety thing going on, I love her, but man is she a financial nightmare. We're having a kid soon, so it doesn't really matter and she's seeing a shrink once a month now, so I'm hoping she'll be kicking goals when she's ready to go back to work.
