The best part about this “job”? Is that when your heart just ain’t in it one day, you can call in sick — and the boss is generally very accomodating.

ERM … I think I’m gonna need to see a doctor’s letter or something.
My bil always used the excuse of “food poisoning” — you know, you can’t make someone come to work with food poisoning, what with stuff coming out both ends. But, it’s over in (usually) 24 hours, so no uncomfortable issues about appearing perfectly healthy the next day.
Plus, if there is nothing to distract me, I’m gonna have to get back to all these piles of
crapschool books that I’ve decided to reorganize today. My motivation seemed to peter-out just as I got everything spread all over the floor.Kind of OT, but not, did anyone else hear where Joe Biden said something along the lines of, “The issue is a simple three letter word – jobs”. I heard something in passing on the radio about it. I just thought about how crucified Palin would have been if she said such a thing.
I hear you. Socialism is depressing and I’ve been working too much and I want a vacation or something but I figure I can just hang in there until the giving of the thanks and all. Oh. Here Carin this is very helpful. Helpful if you need a little extra reason to hate people anyway. People are teh suck but the socialist ones are worse.
Oh yeah, Obstreperous Infidel? Well, Plumber Joe owes $1,100 in back-taxes, ergo McCain is unfit to lead.
Oh my … putting books by color has to be the most asinine thing I’ve ever heard. They should be arrange, of course, by size.
Actually, I need about two more really sturdy bookshelves. These Ikea pos drive me nuts.
Plus, anyone wanna home school a kindergartener? I’m FINALLY to the point where I can start giving stuff away.
I just show up and then go through the motions. Fake it until you can make it, as they say. Other than getting to and from, it accomplishes about the same.
Carin, I don’t think the kid’s going to appreciate being called “Stuff”
Watch-out you Small Business person. This will go on your permanent record.
My boss got all grumpy and shit when I said I wasn’t going out for lunch and a movie with the rest of the team. Maybe if he didn’t let everyone and their brother take my time up the rest of the week, I’d feel enough in control of the workload to be able to skive off for four hours.
He’s promised we’ll “talk about this” over the next month. ‘Scuse the fuck out of me for wanting to get something done.
I wonder if the boss will tell you to take a few days off; and think about why you shouldn’t be missing time…
That’s what always happened at the blue collar jobs I held…
Maybe O! will write you a pass…Mebbe not though, I mean, you have been kinda critical of him lately…Better hope the DU TROOOOOF SQUAD doesn’t go to work on you!
Biden gets away with it because he’s a while male. With a (D) after his name.
It’s not like he misspelled potatoes or anything really disqualifying.
If we really want to disqualify a vice-presidential candidate it’ll have to be with something completely made up out of whole cloth. Actual, verifiable facts are of no consequence.
here ya go, OI.
Mr. feets, as a school librarian the idea of arranging books by color makes my teeth hurt. And are we all clear on the notion that Curious George used to be good for kids while Little Black Sambo was racist, but now Curious George is racist, and Sambo is inspirational? Just making sure. You guys with little kids need to keep these things straight.,
That’s the real problem of working for yourself. The boss is a jerk and there’s nobody to blame.
I thought Curious George was some pillow-biter/ jungle-fever metaphor, which would make it K-12 required.
