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 thread. (for the one-page summary, check out these womps 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.


for me!

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.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

Nice cram! Glad to hear you stoked about something.
- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

Oh, cool.
The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".

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.
