to all of you "gainfully employed" sort of people who work for pitiful wages from your capitalist slave masters, you spend your days in the same place, doing work, and sometimes this lifestyle of wasting your labour on pointless work for greedy people who care little for the human good - often along with other people enslaved under the same sort of employment contract as you (i.e. "co-workers") - but, any of these pointless wasted days have the potention to be quite eventful.

so tell me, my fellow goons, did anything interesting happen today in one of your daily shifts?

perhaps you lot can come in everyday and post about your days at work in this thread. after all, you are beholden to selling your labour for wages until the day you grow too infirm to work, so there's plenty of material for this thread!

I really like my job. Today I completed the largest drop on this project. I made really good time and I'm proud of how it turned out. I made a lot of money and smoked cigarettes and laughed with my coworkers and ate a sandwich while listening to my favourite music all day through a bluetooth speaker. I was highly caffeinated and well rested which lends itself to how content and happy I was all day. The parking is great and I have a three way carpool with a couple of other dirtbags which has dropped my gas bill enormously.

I demoed a house and snaked a drain and found barbie.

Gave a dude 40 bucks because the wages are terrible, unless you are on the books,

told a screaming tenant to take it up with management.

Right now I'm in a psudeo recovering phase where paying the bills and having enough money for steaks 4 days a week is good enough. I could do better, but I don't want to. I have a pile of junk to get rid of first.

The sweet spot for me is between 25~32 hours a week, then I can claim a whole bunch and scam the system.

Why work 49 hours a week for a 619 dollar paycheck, when I can work 25 and get a 550 paycheck, with all the deductions.

or i could just finish college and become a suit the rest of my life. but gently caress that.

I think this thread is a good idea. A couple of days ago I was doing an orientation for a temp employee from out of town who is staying at the facility for a couple of weeks.

When I was giving her a tour of the main kitchen she spotted the commercial gas stove and got excited. She said she was going to use that to heat the water for her hot tea "because the microwave didn't get water hot enough."

I told her you can't use the big stove (it's huge, gas, exhaust fans have to be on, people have already hosed that up) and what did she mean?

She explained that water heated in the microwave "cools down quicker" and she really wanted to use the stove. I already could tell she was a loon and didn't like being argued with so I said, "Well actually that not how thermodynamics works" and then she cut me off to say that she didn't care what my RELIGION was, microwaves don't work.

its because of energy degredation. cold water has a lower energy thoughput that hot, ergo hot water will always become cold faster, wheter in a vacumm or close circuit.

I made two new friends at work today. A guy honked at me in the parking garage, and a girl I talked to in the elevator the other day waved to me when I saw her in the hall. So things are looking pretty good socially.

On of the office secrataries told me to be in the room when certain people are in the room because she is scared of them.

i dont blame her. Shes on a work visa to become an american citizen and it pisses my maga boss off to no end.

when the office vm crashed 3 months ago? all a sudden, i went in there and fixed it on a hush hush, because the line printer was down. I wanted my check.

It crashed because his son in law installed a key logger. I streamlined it later, and send him the wop

- I told a mgr. that she looked really nice in her new outfit. I pointed out how nice her boots complimented the rest of her outfit. She smiled & nodded then I quickly moved on to my business.

She's not one of those that gets "stalked" IMHO but I made it a point to keep things lite & not be creepy. Girls with jet black hair & green eyes is hard to resist.


- I had to babysit a old-timer Verizon tech for a few hrs & we just BS about retirement goals/dreams. Poor guy has to work till 62, he's 54. He's got to do X-amount of years with age in order to retire/pension out. I count my lucky stars I can retire after 25 yrs at any age.
