So summer vacation is coming and I have to find a job, but I really don't want to. I'd much rather spend my time playing football/being outside/drinking/pretty much anything than work. But I suppose I'll end up taking classes here at school and maybe working at the co-op in between classes. meh.

My job is "ok". I have a decent work ethic, as long as I get paid. Thus, why I suck shit at school work.

My job consist of finding other things to do so I don't work, like going to the toilet, making copies of useless papers, filling forms I throw down the trash, making coffee, drinking coffee, heating my lunch for 15 minutes in the microwave at power 1, eating grapes, posting on DAC, printing internet pages, emailing jokes, and it goes on and on.

I'm on forced social labour because I didn't want the Bundeswehr (German Army) to draft my ass instead.

Slowly I'm beginning to consider the benefits of hugging mud...

At least I wouldn't have as much of a boring job. The pay wouldn't be any better tho (€ 8 per calendar day, a Euro is slightly more than a US Dollar, but it's still close to nothing).

Nah... they rather throw them rookies at Afghani Warlords as peacekeepers (remember: you're supposed to guard the Opium fields, not smoke them!).

Hm... sand.

School is ending and I will have to get a job.
I need the money and honestly, me finding a job is better than getting stuck with field labour.
People who bitch about finding work should be forced into shit jobs so when they are given a chance to find their own job, they will go out and do it.

I like my job right now. It's hard work sometimes, however I work reasonable hours (ie: not horribly gay night shifts).

I used to hate my old job. Hated it. It made me depressed. Working night shift jobs are a fucking downer. Say goodbye to your social life. Unless you hang out with a bunch of pasty goths. The people I worked with were miserable, bitter black holes of humanity. I also got conjunctivitis really bad at that job which for those that don't know, is fucking PINK EYE...

So yeah... My last job was horrendously gay.

Well, as a member of the German Army, I'm assuming he wouldn't need to spend money on much, since like most professional armies, they'd provide him with food and a place to sleep.

You'd have to be living with someone else to mooch off of with that little money.

Reminds me of the time relatives from Canada made the trip for a holiday and decided under their own steam to stay for two fucking years. First it was a week, and then it was two, and yet they would not leave. Hence, something had to be done. While I can accept that I am that charismatic, it was still a bit bloody much. Relatives for the sake of Sam ! Fortunately, my apparent charisma was matched by my inability to be walked upon by relatives, of all people, so I told them to bog off after the scope of their intentions became as evident as their unwillingness to contribute in any meaningful manner to the continued survival of their would be second home. Five times, I told them. And they left. Eventually.

Relatives are always worse.

Cunts. :drunk:

I'm surprised you waited two years.

Two weeks, Fez. Their tenacity was the form of mind ruining hallucinations. Monkeys. Realistically they were fortunate, and by extension I was both unfortunate and fortunate. They are still alive and intact (a cause for much regret, in retrospect), and I missed out on mutilating them (same again), collecting their eyes (and again), eating their hearts (and again) and prison (huzzah !). Living with disappointment can be somewhat difficult at times, however. Woo yay ! :drunk:
