God Damn Job, Now, Finally, In Its Right Forum, So Everyone Whose Brain Has Been

[Wally]

I like working. Although the enjoyment I get from any particular job is limited. Which is to say if the three of you set up a commune in which you need to be waited on hand and foot. Well I have a pretty impressive c.v.


Actually I think I've discussed the possibilities of being coldiie's butler with him before.

[C of heartbreak]

I swear to goddamn God, if the new person taking over for me sends me one more email saying things like "I am so worried about starting this job, please help me do the best I can" and "I will send you more questions this weekend," I will...um...change my email address, change my phone number, delete my facebook account, and, uh, move to another state. Well, one of those is true no matter what. Fuuuuuuuuuck.

I dunno if you should do that, it sounds like you could have some fun with this.

"Express your most candid political and personal thoughts the first week on the job.  it will break the ice, and you and the boss might have something in common"

or

"tell the boss you have zero tolerance people who change movie theaters just because there are more black people there now"

I started to post something here earlier, but then the browser closed itself mid post and I had to leave for work, so. . .

I'm in the camp of "would easily live a happy and fulfilling life if I never had to work another day again". I lived on severance pay for almost a year once and didn't miss work for even a minute.

I'm hoping things turn around at work soonish, because I'm not getting enough hours right now to pay my bills, so that's a little worrisome. I do have the weekend off, which would normally be good, but since I only worked 24 hours this week I'm not as happy about it as I should be. Next week might be a full work week, though, if I get to cover a day for my co-worker, so I'm crossing my fingers for that.

[Good Intentions]

I have often voiced my opinion that the best job in the world would be free money.

[girl]

I would be excellent at that job!

[dieblucasdie]

I have often voiced my opinion that the best job in the world would be free money.

Or maybe just free beer and internet access.  You know, cut out the middleman.

[diesel_powered]

Today I'm working the bat fest. That's 7 hours of bats right there. Not sure if it will be fun or boring.

[diesel_powered]

Now they're talking about the Sooty-moustached bat. Apparently it's the smallest bat on the island of Puerto Rico.

[Ignatius]

Well thank god it wasn't boring right

I've always thought that the best job would be to get paid to sleep.  That way you wake up in the morning and your work's all done and the rest of the day is yours.  If you're coming up a bit short one month, then you could put in some overtime by taking a nap.  Also, I wouldn't mind working 7 days a week - makin' money hand over fist.    I would be *so* fucking good at that job.

Although the free money thing sounds good too.

[diesel_powered]

Well thank god it wasn't boring right

Now they're talking about gardens growing under bat roosts due to the quantity of seeds in bat shit. I feel like I should be working on the 4000 other things I could be working on right now.

Fuck it, working on the weekend sucks enough as it is. Admittedly not nearly so much as many other things, but more than sitting on my ass in my apartment or doing something other than work.

weird i had a dream that prominently featured bats in it last night.  like pictures of obscure central american bats etc.  i will not chalk this up simply to the batman zeitgeist or my friend talking about the bats in austin.  no, it is a sign. 

[diesel_powered]

Better start working on your rubber suit.

Or maybe it's your body telling you that you should eat more fruit.

[slow west vultures]

i think its actually  my body telling me i'm deficient in blood. 

[diesel_powered]

In that case, it's probably a good idea to steer clear of garlic and holy water.

[diesel_powered]

BORED!

The bats get boring around hour 6.

[citrus]

don't fall for it! hour 6 is when they lull you to sleep so they can swoop in and do unspeakable things to you!!! stay awake, stay alive

[diesel_powered]

A few hearty rounds of solitaire on my iPod and I'm ready to rally for the last hour of bat day.

Apparently many bats are dying from "white nose syndrome"...

[diesel_powered]

And 8 hours later, I'm out.

Observations from the last presenter:

1. Your four and six year old do not belong on stage with you during your presentation.
2. If you have not taught your four and six year old to stay out of the way of the mean man that's trying to make your presentation go, you are automatically a bad person.
3. If you have not taught your children how to behave in a presentation by the time they have developed the powers of speech, you are automatically a bad parent.
4. At the end of the presentation, shut the fuck up and get the fuck out. People want to go home from work.

[diesel_powered]

No. Seriously. You crowd of assholes standing around, mesmerized by the fucking bat, GO HOME.

[diesel_powered]

Fuck this. They can shut down their own system. I'm not paid enough to stick around here and watch a crowd of assholes cream their little panties over a bat.

So my goddamn job is over, mostly, and the guy did something good: I got to choose a poster from his stack of duplicates! I went with:

[jebreject]

[hannah]
