I'm not sure that's laziness. That's knowing you had a bit of breathing room and taking it.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.
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.

I can't think of another occasion that requires dragging a subwoofer uphill through dense underbrush.

The whole thing kind of falls into the category of "And I get paid to do this? Sweet!".

Somewhat unrelated, I need to find more window-sized scraps of duvatine to cover my other bedroom window.

Oh, Sean, I feel for you man!
I ran out of money a couple of months ago and only got help from an emergency loan from and old friend. Since then the unemployment has kicked back in, but there is nothing like that feeling of helplessness when you can't even buy groceries!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
and for those that are struggling, but able to do at least some of what they love - keep going . I hae had two friends quit jobs recently . In both cases, there was no possible way for them to be successful, even though they were doing very good jobs. ( which is where my DH was too) They saw that demands/ work load were increasing - took a look at their finances and health and quit. One just found work . J has decided to stick with short contract work. so even if they try to kill her , they 've got limited time. T has just started to look for work -- he might take something traditional , but he might be looking around at very different kinds of opportunities. The current level of unemployment may be high, but if someone can afford to be picky , they are.
