Those of you who have known me for a few years now will recall various turmoil I've endured at work. I'm just a low-paid assistant with neither responsibility nor upward mobility. At the beginning of 2009, they reduced me to part time and sequestered me on this island where I'm the only one working on an impossible year long project. I've had a lot of emotions relating to this, many of which are expressed in the BURN THE MOTHERFUCKER DOWN (http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=21935) thread. (for the one-page summary, check out these womps (http://s209.photobucket.com/albums/bb163/wompcabal/whatever/) about capitalist purgatory)
I've been living real tight, learning to live a semi-monastic lifestyle on peanut butter sandwiches and free Internet downloads. I'm in the process of moving to an apartment in new york which will cut my rent cost in half. I've had a real rough year.
Anyway, today the good news is that they're going to hire me back full time. It's still an assistant position, it still has no potential of promotion, but I'm getting a full time salary again, including health benefits, sick days, and vacation time!
This job is shitty, and I'm too smart for it, but I'm still stoked as fuck to be employed full time in an office in the year 2010.

I'm really pleased for you Cram, its really good news . . . its also one of the saddest things I have ever read.
IN Just-
spring when the world is mud-
luscious the little
lame baloonman
whistles far
and wee
and eddieandbill come
running from marbles and
piracies and it's
spring
when the world is puddle-wonderful
the queer
old baloonman whistles
far and wee
and bettyandisbel come dancing
from hop-scotch and jump-rope and
it's
spring
and
the
goat-footed
baloonMan whistles
far
and
weeeeeeee

Heh... I got halfway through that, thinking that you had probably written it, and thought
"this reads like e.e. cumings"
I like e.e. cumings.

I've never seen anything like that before. Let's watch it again.
GOOO CRAM!!
Good news, man! Here's hoping that salary, time off, and health benefits make life much more enjoyable while you look for an opportunity somewhere that doesn't blow a goat.
Congradulations Cram!
What is your job?
Good lives were lost ... I realise what Cram works as now.

You killed the last fucker didn't you? So they thought they'd reduce you to part-time and they don't trust you because your too ambitious? Isn't it?
Yay Cram!
Does this mean you still get to use their printer?
