Ah! these two letters were a must to start
these bitter sweet pentameters of mine...

5 years ago I took a scriptwriting course, 1 year later I took a 1
year network administrator course then got hired by an isp.
It is a matter of fact that sinecure is the word to define where I've been at for the past 3 years

Turns out I'm not that interested in the job of an
isp tech of 2003. I'm not too sure what should be my next move.

I thought it could be an interesting question since there was a one similar somewhere about finding jobs allowing to be on ile all day. This can be a follow-up question, like "what will you do when you'll decide to move after enjoying such a job for as long as wanted to?"
Go for another sinecuer or find a better use of your time? Did it happened to you?

Are you able to get anything you find interesting done at that job, though? Or is it just a waste of your time?

In my case I got many constructive things done and it was never too clear who was benefiting from it the most betweeen me, the clients or the company. To blur things more I also had a lot of free time to do some "research". What got me into IT was ye ol'alienation from temp jobs so many creative people do just for the flexible hours(in a way they are wasting their time when they are there). My job being so easy became some sort of escapism from the social concerns (by default) that got me there in the first place. When getting drunk on the view from this office tower it is easy not to think about the discusting mentality that is behind it. I have to reconcile the use of my time with my anarchist values, economically speaking it means working in a coop or something similar.

ENLIST IN THE MARINES

to provoke lucidities about the class struggle from the inside?
In the sixties people who could do this were doing it, joining the army and the police to get them organized.
Deleuze in his oldage was saying he used his "forever a minority" identity as an energy, I find in practice the going can get rough.
Boys, would that ever cross your mind?
Boys, are you contemplating moving out somewhere
Boys, will you ever find the time?

Here we are stranded
Somehow it all seems the same
Here comes the quiet life again?

Argh now that will be stuck in my head all day. Mind you, good song to be stuck there...
