Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

It sure is nice to have a job to go to.

Seriously. I was talking to my dad not too long ago, and we were talking about ways to generate more work, but I had to remind him that I'm one of the lucky ones - I'm getting work. And while we came up with some strategies for trying to generate more work, I told him there may not be much more work to be found. That it's not just about how hard I'm trying to find it. That's how pervasive this meme of "people who don't have jobs are just lazy" is - it can sneak up even on people who otherwise know better.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

It doesn't help that just looking around, clearly there's stuff to be done. Just no one wants to pay for that stuff.

If I'm honest with myself I admit I didn't look as hard as I could have last month, knowing that I had a little work this month.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I'm not sure that's laziness. That's knowing you had a bit of breathing room and taking it.

And knowing that if I got a full time job I might not get to do this fun temp gig. Then I laugh and think about how sore I'm going to be when I get home tonight. Fun is relative.

Punishingly Intricate

And, people wonder why, say, my company can't find people to fill the many open positions we have when there are so many un- or underemployed folks out there. It's not like just anybody with any skillset can do the jobs. It's not like you can magically gain, for example, years of experience working for a gov't agency plus extensive knowledge of JAVA programming. or whatever.

I love working HHN. laga is right - fun is relative, but for some of us, HHN is the most fun you'll ever have getting your ass completely and totally kicked.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Well, unless you're in The Matrix, that is.
