tell me what your new gigs are. i know that you've got'em.

Recently hired, huh? What do you have against people who manage to keep their jobs?

you complacent fucks sicken me.

Does doing the same shit at the same desk for the third company in less than two years count as a new gig?

i mean, that's cool, but i'm more looking for people who have traded up.

i'm working at a small independant publishing/content solutions firm which does work in the various stages of putting out mostly medical texts, though they're kinda branching out. i'm looking forward to putting some pretty sweet curse words in some high school text before the year is out.
for the most part I proofread, copyedit, and peruse photo stock wharehouses for pics of nasty skin diseases and the like, which is pretty much something i'd get around to doing on my own anyway. I'm not officially hired for another 2 weeks or so, but i've been doing freelance stuff for them for the past 3. So far i love it, but that's just because there's relatively few crazy people and dogs are allowed in the office. Collared shirts and NPR, though, might have to change.

Well, as most know, I am back at work, and back in AL. I am doing the money for a candidate for mayor...and if seems like a major step back and a slap in the face, it is, but that is another story. The race is actually going to be interesting, because of Alabama's lax campaign finance laws and the fact that my candidate is a black man in one of the most racist cities in America. So, we have to do a lot of different things to raise money, all of it legal, but it basically involves having prominent white citizens give money in other ways (i.e. through PACs) so that their rich, white racist friends won't know they have given moeny to a black man...or at least a black man with white competition.

I am still waiting on word from some folks in DC, and I have been approached about a campaign in North Carolina (RAISE UP!) as well. Just gotta stay after it.

so does this have fewer old guys snarffing Hustler behind a copy of Better Homes and Gardens into the bathroom than your old gig? or could any job possibly have more?

jobs are for jobbists...

YEAH! that's what i'm talking about! progress is key.

a few years ago i was a pimp. i had a few bitches around town i would check up on, smack around a bit, but they were mostly good hoes. so one day, one of my bitches sez she doesnt wanna be a ho no more. i sez, come on bitch, i dont care that youre 45, go out there and fuck. but she wanted to get into a respectable business. i smacked her around a bit but by the end i decided it was time for her to go. that got me thinking that maybe it was time for me to get out of the pimp game too. some respectable business. best decision i ever made. im now a school janitor. ill go back and check up on my old bitches from time to time now, maybe smack em up a bit, just to get me the feel back. aint nothin better. best choice i ever made.

see opa, no one wants to hear about your tired old newsletter.

heh. that's funny.



oh yeah. Gone are the pervs, the ranting vets, the bus from the mental home, etc....yeah there's a major cutdown on the chronic masturbators as well.

of course, i'm probably stay there one night a week or so because i just love the weirdness.

i now work at an ad agency as a liason between the account side and creative to make sure shit's gettin DONE.

I'll give you credit though, you have good memory. Your lovely lady friend must love having a man who remembers anniversaries and birthdays.

I've been at my job for a year now which is what I sought out to do to get "sales" experience.

I now pray for a quick death.


*looks around for his ambition*

that's what i'm talking about. it's not that i mind my current job, but i'm in search of something a bit more fulfilling and financially rewarding.

That job doesn't exist.

I'm ridiculously awesome.

i'm reading a book right now about a dude with MS and i always wonder if people with more of an attachment to the subject that i would find it interesting or trivializing.

Oh, you mean the DREAM JOB!?

Everything I think that would fulfill me personally doesn't really pay shit and something that may be financially rewarding has a high soul sucking potential. There must be something I keep telling myself but if you can figure it out I'm all ears.

The job I have now is pretty cush. I have the net, little hassle, and work in a laid back industry but it don't pay shit and has little to no advancement possibility. I've always got my ears open and I remain optimistic though.

For me, the latter.

i guess i'm not even looking for the dream job, more for something that will let me start paying off student loans and specifically not be this job. this isn't a bad gig but it's kind of boring. unless you count guiding you people through your day at work to be my job.

You know the Chair of the Colo Dem Party. Call her, tell her I want a job, and that you'll take one too. Who cares what it pays? we'll just embezzle all th emoney and leave em high and dry anyway.

Maybe I don't qualify as "new hire", starting my job this past May but...
