    i remember seeing the wierd and tragic progressions like a bunch of increasingly intense queries for psychiatric help for depression and then for grief counselling

    Yes!
    For a second I thought maybe i was just making things up and was totally wrong.

    man, anyone who hates scarab at all has never had to travel for work

    it is balls and a half

    oh but man, not travel for work
    travel as work!

    I'd love it so much.

    it seems really boring, really.
    i mean it's not like you're allowed to sit down and read all day.

    I rent DVD's to complete pricks, for the most part. And I have to pretend that I'm working on commission, otherwise I get fired. Like, if I don't force more than 30% of customers to spend more than £10 on their visit to a fucking blockbusters. Christ.

    Over the christmas period my targets were to sell one blu-ray player per shift. Who the fuck goes to blockbusters to spend £200?

    I was really stressed and upset and annoyed at my job for a couple weeks and now I think most of the problems I was having are solved, but my three primary bosses are still trying really hard to please me and asking me if I need anything or want anything.

    Man, that was the best data leak ever. My favorite was the series of searches about how to murder your wife and the media all going apeshit and saying maybe we should monitor everyone's searches to catch murderers and then when they tracked the dude down it turned out he'd been writing a mystery novel.

    That and the weird one where the dude was asking if black people were really demons. Good times.

    I'm working in a bakery for the next five months. It is pretty damn easy, within a week I've already mastered 95% of what everyone does. I wouldn't like to do it as a career because it is so simple. It pays nearly as good as my last job with a fifth of the responsibility.

    man, serious, that would be lonely, lame shit. The romance of it would wear off fast after the first month or two, and then it's just hotel room after hotel room and doing shit you'd rather not in a city that is starting to blend in with every other damned town you've been in this year and you miss your home and your own life and your own bed and you are sick to death of sitting in airports and stress and fuck if the photographer fucks me over again in Madrid I swear to fucking god I'm going to kill myself.

    We aren't allowed to shred paper at work on our own perogative anymore.

    Whenever I want to throw away any piece of paper I have to sign it, date it, and list the reason why I want the piece of paper to be shredded.

    Then someone else has to authorize the destruction of it.

    For instance, the printer borked yesterday, so the prints came out all smudged.

    blah blah blah print quality not useful 01/08/09 -sig

    A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
    However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

    "Muffin Monster" is the best name for a poop-paste-making machine. Ever, period, end of discussion.

    Oh SNAP, did you see that?

    It muffined the shit out of that tennis ball. Ball didn't even have a chance.

    my dad used to go lots of cool places for work and would take us with him some of the time when my brother and I were younger. now that we are graduating he's going to start going to international conferences again and take my mom with him and I'm jealous

    and oh yeah, I don't have a job! but my aunt is looking out for job opportunities/volunteer work in Cambodia for me, so that might happen this summer. if not I'll just get whatever job I can and go volunteer elsewhere after having saved up for a little while.

    Quit. Live the glamorous life of a freelance mathematician. All setting out into the wilderness with nothing but a sliderule and two dozen reams of scratch paper, bringing back entirely new maths to the screaming, adoring masses. Just like Newton.

    My church job tried to violate my contract earlier this week and cut my pay by $50 a month. They tried to act like I'm an hourly employee, which is not actually the case. They told me that they will not be cutting my wages but they have some other thing to tell me tomorrow.

    The only time they say stuff like that is when it's going to be some awful thing and they don't want to get yelled at four times by the section leaders

    It is the kind of work I do best:

    A very busy lady who works at home has an office full of disorganised paperwork, missing cheques and muddled-up bank statements

    My job shall be to sort it all out, and do data entry, and then if I fulfill expectations she has a lot of similarly busy and disorganised friends

    But it's going to be so odd with me working while Mori stays at home
