So, is work sucking for everyone right now?
Say yes.
Say yes.
... that two people were instrumental in my joining Twitter. First, Isha . She sent out an article on it when the application was still brand new. (And I remember thinking, "Screw that noise. Like I need more online commitments.) Second was Rebecca . She joined up just a short while ago, claiming she hadn't met a bandwidth she didn't like . (And then she disappeared entirely from the internets .) It looked nice and pretty over there on her sidebar, and then I got a little jealous. The rest: history. And for those unobservant among you ( Jorge ), the Twitter feed is right there on my sidebar, replacing the old Radio 3 player that I loved, but that I think scared the bejezus out of a lot of people. Also, everyone should join Twitter. I'm needing some diversions , people.

Especially for prostitutes.
Time to break out the uncle Karl - he could be talking about you!
[Dave] does not affirm himself in his labor, but rather denies himself; he does not feel happy, but rather unhappy; he does not grow physically or mentally, but rather tortures his body and ruins his mind. The laborer feels himself first to be other than his labor and his labor to be other than himself. ... [Alienated labour's] estranged character becomes obvious when one sees that as soon as there is no physical or other coercion, labor is avoided like the plague. . . . the activity of the laborer is not his own activity. It belongs to someone else, it is the loss of his self.
Jorge, fyi this bit of the economic and philosophic manuscripts of 1844 was translated by Richard Hooker.
This is what we like to see.
Now all you have to do is comment on my blog, and you'll get a free pie!
Mm. Like you have to encourage me.
You just got back from a cruise, with your wife and are back at your well-paid job in your field.
I am single, barren and way unemployed. Yesterday I got three rejections from jobs I thought I was overqualified for -- didn't even make it to the short list.
And you want sympathy?
On another, less antagonistic, note: Dave, please read "Graceland" by Chris Abani immediately. Something tells me you'll really like it.
P.S. Jody you are astounding. And Beth, getting a fellowship to Stanford is just a fancy and fulfilling kind of work...
And thanks for mentioning me in your shoutouts, you bastard.
I'm not barren but I'm a bastard?
And you wonder why you get no shoutouts...
So it doesn't bother me anymore. After all, I come by it honestly.
:-)
