Been getting used to actually having a a full time position at my work. It's nice to actually have something resembling an actual job that has benefits, but I'm realizing it might not be what I wanna do forever. At my current level of education, I'm basically a babysitter for adults, and going back to school would require a buttoad of debt I'm not sure I wanna take on. Ideally I think I still wanna pursue my aspirations of making it as a comedian, so I think where I'm at now is a kind of "home base" for what I really wanna do. Does this makes sense to anyone else?

She has auxiliary vertebrae?

In this case, she was using a taller skeleton than she needed and popped out a couple to be more average female height. They just sort of float around the torso when not in use.

Sounds like my morning routine after getting off my shitty mattress.

An update from the world of work.  Once again, I have been asked to work a full overnight shift, then come in to do all day training.  Once again, I have said "lolno" (other staff were stupid enough to agree, that's their problem. I know my rights.  And beyond that, I have enough self-respect that I'm not going to put myself through insomnia hell for a pointless training session).

So, today, my manager came back to me, with this proposal.   I am to come in the night before at 1845. I am to finish at 2200. I then attend the training the next day from 0900 to 1700. Then I return that night to work at 0200 until 0715.

If you're thinking that's bugfuck crazy, you're not the only one.

I also like how this manages to skirt directly within the letter of the law while pissing on the spirit of it.  I did let it slip I have a friendly law firm I'm working with now, so that may have been a motivating factor.

You'll have a better handle on the situation than me but my default response would be something along the lines of "Go fuck yourself" but maybe not stated quite so politely and with a broken bone or two by way of punctuation.

Well, these soft southerners can't handle straight talk, you have to couch everything in passive-aggressive terms before you knife them with it.

I will probably agree to it, though my co-worker will not due to other obligations she has (extra fun), but I will drive in the knife a little bit further by mentioning I recently filled in a form where I explained I was having sleeping problems, and a regular schedule is essential to a good sleep pattern.  This is not conducive to a good sleep pattern.  Or common sense.

Feeling the deprivation, I casually remark, "You know, the one thing about sleeplessness is that it takes care of my neuroticism.
Replaces it with psychopathy. Very fun. It's like my personal all-inclusive vacation." o

Yesterday, in my town, ANTIFA dressed up as local police, and redirected traffic from a major road through the parking lot of a Goodwill store.

On half-price Saturday.

Hats off, Conrads. Excellent work.
Formerly something else...
