Your house is on fire/You're being deployed for a few years...

There's many variants dear sir. The two variants I work with are as follows...

A) Douche with Ricky Ricardo hair style, middle aged, wife, 900 kids at home, still living it up online as if he's a 20 something. He browses for "hotties" 6 out of the 8 hours at work on facebook. Has a buddy list of literally 500 bints from across the galaxy who he messages to bolster his ego. Reality = Drives to work in a beat up 84 Olds. I would love to beat the living piss out of this dude, as he's a fucking self absorbed kill joy who gabs endlessly about nothing.

B) Obese spoon fed mama's boy who went to USC. Sits online 8 out of the 8 hours chatting up with girls on justin.tv. Takes great pride in having "universal moderator rights", flaunts a picture of a CK model as an avatar, and tells everybody who is willing to listen that he has a girlfriend. Despite the last 5 out of 5 chicks he's "seen" residing more than 4 states away. Has recently curtailed computing, in favor of cell phone pontificating with his latest squeeze from PA who plans on moving in with him in June. Reality - 40 yr olds, 5ft 8, 240 lbs, lives at home with his mom, collects action figures feverishly, is on the subway diet.

I'm not making any of this up. Dudes are fucking on my last nerve! We work in tandem with one another, so it's literally a mental/spiritual death for me.
 
do you guys at least enjoy what you are doing as far as work is concerned? co-workers aside (which you can't pick in any job)
 
NO. My last job was CAKE. I had to quit because, if you recall, I HAD AN AFFAIR WITH A COWORKER :lol:

So, I came *back* to this job, which is what I did from 2002-2007. Before I did though, I told the manager I could only work certain days of the week and not take any call. Those conditions were so I could finish school. The trade-off was that she would have a reliable employee that didn't need any training. Well, that lasted for like two weeks before they started putting me on call and trying to put me on days where I said I couldn't work, etc. Nothing has changed from when like half the staff quit at the same time back in 2007. I figured that would've at least had some kind of impact, but no, it's a corporate machine and they simply don't give a fuck.

The job itself is fairly easy, or can be anyway, depending on where they assign you. I'd go into detail but no one would know what I'm talking about. Basically, it can suck or it can be mildly tolerable, but overall, it's a job for retards. My last job though, was truly easy. A monkey could actually do it. I'm pretty sure that chick still works there and if I find out she left, then I'm going back to it. Incredible though she didn't quit when I did. Classy!
 
one of my main rules in this thing called life is ... never go back to any job you left or any chick you left.
 
I knew it was the only job that would hire me knowing I would leave in a year regardless. Anything else requires months of training and education money. No manager wants to front that.
 
even more than 80% ... I think typically most people don't have an issue with tasks at hand but rather dealing with people
 
Well this thread certainly is revealing.

My top 20 albums are all easily replaceable, or I already have them on mp3 somewhere. I'll grab the Swans collection, that took some effort/cash to track down.

If the house starts to go up I'm grabbing two basses and the photo albums, my wife and I have had this "emergency discussion" a few times. And I guess now the Swans stuff if I'm able to. :loco:
 
Oh just for shits because I can't sleep anyhow. I suppose my Top 20 list could be any selection of 50 different albums depending on my mood, but here's what I'm thinking up right now:

Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
Tool - ÆNIMA

Enslaved - Mardraum: Beyond the Within
The Doors - s/t
The Beatles - Abbey Road
Swans - The Great Annihilator
