The bagel shop was while I was in college, and it worked out well (better than some attempts at work study things- talk about slave labor!) During the summer, I'd put in 8 hours by 2 pm, was able to pick up a class and then spend a bit lazing at the pool. During the school year, I could pick up 4 hours/day and get to all my classes with no problem. Oh, and my grocery bill shrunk because breakfast & lunch were free. Plus all the 2+ day old bagels I could use.

Of course, I also had to get up at 5 am, be human and deal with humans starting at 6 am, but....

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

My college work-study jobs were perfect for me - 1/2 time in the theatre dept. office, 1/2 time in the scene shop. I loved it, except when we had to weld a steel set. I hate welding.

Big Boss sent out an e-mail today with a bunch of new "equipment guidelines", and one of the guidelines was that we're only to visit work-related sites.

Clearly, I'm, uh, yeah. Do you think they'd believe me if I said b.org was essential to my daily activities, because without it, I'd flip out like a mammal?

I have used b.org for work-related purposes in the past, you know, panicked and strident demands for information. Therefore I believe that all my use of it is work-related.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Have you ever learned something here that has helped you with your job? Is there even a faint possibility that you might learn something here that could theoretically help you with your job?

You could ask us a work-related question. And we could provide unhelpful answers to it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Technical support forum! That's what you guys are.

Of course, I'm also not following the new guidelines because a) I'm the person they call when a computer gets a virus, and that's what prompted the new guidelines, and b) I don't care if they fire me.

What is even happening?

I think this is an off-site Employees Assistance Program. Look at how many of your cow-orkers you have not killed, thanks to us.

We could think outside the box for you.

Way outside....
