Lenscrafters making glasses.
I'm working on a few songs about myself. Working in a mall and making glasses. Amongst other things like falling in love with the Auntie Annies Pretzel girl. Expect an LP release.

Congratulations = )
Coincidentally, I started my new job today working as a luggage handler for Princess Tours, the world's third largest cruise ship corporation (I think). I'm exhausted yo.

four powerful words. the depression is probably there to stay, but get a job. even if it's doesn't coincide with your low ambition and general feeling that everything is hopeless/worthless... it may spruce things up inside that dark endless pit of your own making. The feeling of being trapped in a sleeping bag and beaten to death with a baseball bat may still linger, but a job at least sheds light onto other areas of endless doubt: The working mans fuitile struggle to make a buck. and who knows, maybe one day you could write a book. Here, I'll give you the title, "My Internet Saddened Life Is The Product Of Countless Gross Disillusions About The Female Species, When In Actuallity They Are A Strong Being And Can Stick With A Man Even In His Most Pathetic States." One strong women is all you need sir...

Fast food, hmmm... not something I'd want to do, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
I'm not doing anything right now, I'm just listening to music and playing video games for a living. Absolutely wonderful.There's so much to do, I don't have time to work. But I'm looking at a new call center across town, it's supposed to be a cushy job, and I have experience doing that bullshit.But I'm going to hold out as long as I can. Everytime I work, I get horribly depressed and start thinking about how badly life sucks, even if it's a sweet job like the last two I had.Something's wrong in the 'ol head factory.

I'm still a student for another year, atleast. Afterwards I want to travel, but I won't have any cash! So what should I do? If I get a job I won't be able to travel for several years...
hm... I am on to something, but I don't know what!!!!?!?!?!

I mean, if I get a good job, I'll probably have to work there for a while before I can go on a holiday...
and I'd love to be out for 1 year or so... e.g. work or study abroad.

haha wtf?
btw what is civil duty? if I'd translate it to swedish it'd sound like something you'd get as a penalty (instead of e.g. prison or a fine)

i've got a decent job at the moment, but i have certainly gone through my ups and downs. i've worked fast food, i've worked retail, and i've gotten laid off from two good technology jobs. i wish i could go back to school, but i don't think i have what it takes to do that in my current situation, i.e. determination, so i guess i figure i'll just work my way up on the job.
congrats though, oddio, cause not having a job is almost always worse than having one.

No, it's, like, an option to the regular army duty... I work for an organisation that helps raise the educational-level in tibet.. a friend of mine works at a childrens-school, and my brother worked at a chartiy-organisation.. instead of running around in the woods, doing no good, spending 4billion kroner per half year on shooting lead into sand-piles...

oh, yeah.. I should be in when i was 18, but when i applied for civil-duty, it took longer for them to call me in... so I started much later than the regular-army people... I'm done in november, I think...

I've worked two fast food jobs, one at Burger King, and the other at McDonalds... Burger King wasn't half bad actually, cause the people I worked with were cool, and the restaurant wasn't vrey busy most of the time (it since close down, hence why I left)... McDonalds just sucked... it was busy all the time, and it was just horrible...

congratulations! I too have just returned to work after an enjoyable few months of slacking. I really need the money too.
Job is as boring as fuck though. How did I grow up to be a computer programmer???? I really used to think I'd become a private investigator, and get into regular weekly adventures.
