cio lj masocho-exhibitionism

I mean, argh, you know?

I hope shit gets better, Trayce.

Pash OTM on both counts!

lj= livejournal or Jewy's Lagger?

The answer can be found on the wdyll thread on ile, HH.

CIO Bimble, apropos of absolutely nothing on Daft Punk Live thread:

I want to know if people frequenting this thread know that Tony Wilson has died and who he was. Thanx

That is remarkably adolescent!

CIO MY BOSS BEING INSANE

David:

I just wanted to let you know that I was looking over your file and noticed that you have missed 8 days this past year due to sickness. Please note that you do not have any vacation due and owing now until January of 2008. I wanted you to know this.

Seems he's just trying to pre-empt you trying to take time off. Hardly insane, just strict. I think.

i've been here a year and had one vacation day. our 'sick policy' does not exist; there is merely an 'absenteeism' policy that says that 'unsatisfactory attendence' will result in 'disciplinary action and/or discharge and will have an adverse impact on promotional considerations.'

the 8 sick days are over the course of an entire year, not since january

cio my roommate who is *one month* late paying deposit to former roommate (in a text message): "I've been at work all day. I'd appreciate it if you'd let me deal with it mysel. I thought I made that pretty clear."

Also, not claiming to have received email asking for bill money.

That seems batshit (xp).

Also, fwiw, the one redeeming of my old employer was that, for as skimpy they were with the vacation days, they had an "infinite sick days" policy. If you abused it, they'd cotton on pretty quickly, so better to let people stay home when they're ill than penalize them for it by eating up vacation time.

my job is making me take more time off

our work day is 830 to 6

wtf

my workday is like noon to 7... maybe

?!?!

OK, Deej, sounds like quittin' time.

polish off the resume!

deej those were my hours, too, and that was on a regular day. i'd often have to stick around until 7 or 8. doing nothing, mind, but since everyone else had to stick around, i had too, too.

...i figured out that i was making something like $12/hr. WAHT

xp yeah, FINISH HIM IT!

resumetality

this is the plan.

cio feeling of trapped-ness in job :(

Okay Deej, with the context that is batshit!

ugh jobs
i kinda wish i had one sometimes tho. but not really. we'll see when the infinite stress of self-employment takes me down. at least thesis stress has end in v close sight. which brings me to:

cut it out my freaky back & forth btwn being chill and being all neurosis and perfectionism

I NEED A JOB

i need either a weekend job or somehow to only spend $10 on food a day.

it's hard, i'm already at $6.50!

cio 3 hour class x 3 days a week on top of work

omg I know that feeling, xpost. I recommend ramen.

Please god let a master's degree actually result in more $$$.

it will if you know how to 'sell it', for sure
my advice: don't get caught up in working/jobs/other opportunities/people/etc and end up spending over three years on it. focus, do, complete, go!

$10/day for food seems like luxury livin to me - but i pretty much just buy groceries and never eat out :/

i bought a pretty nice whole (uncooked) chicken today for like $3.50! b/c it has to be cooked today. which i will do.

what are you getting your master's in jessie? most likely it will...

i'm going to just end up eating lots of noodles, rice, beans, kale, sausage, stir-fries, curries. no more eating out. it can be done!

the luxury of living alone is way more important than the luxury of spending $2.50 on a cinnamon bun

TRUTH
you will be healthier in all ways!

isn't it going to be funny when canada money is worth more than ours?

I just spent $15 on lunch

:(

My lunch limit is $5. It's pretty written in stone.

haha canada money!

one way to not eat out very often is to become gastro-sensitive to everything!
(though damn, cinnamon buns... i won't even tell you how i approximate a non-grain non-dairy non-sugar version.)
(i feel like 75% of my life is all abt guts lately. cio life being all abt guts.)

you guys make me want to never graduate college

gah, i really need to learn to stop eating out/drinking

My life has been all about guts since age 14.

I am going to Toronto this weekend! But poor exchange rates mean I will not be able to plunder CD stores freely:(

im going out to eat a lot and buying a ton of clothes this year before i have to start paying rent

Do you write freelance, rrrobyn? Just the science? Is is this bad? http://www.rbcinvest.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/ArticleNews/PEstory/LAC/20070809/RUSSELL09/Columnists/columnists/columnistsThearts/1/1/1/

CIO: governments funding three times more PhDs in physics than there are jobs in physics.
CIO: baby boom academics living so long.
KIU: taking PhD and working in finance seeming not just tolerable but actually kinda fun.

the exchange rate was almost 1:1 when i visited canada at some point over the last year!

haha finance is kinda fun at an academic level, anyways.

top 5 ways to save assloads of money IMO--

Drink at home/at friend's houses
Don't smoke cigarettes
Don't own car
Cook food at home
Use public library constantly

caek my friend just got his MS in physics, fully intending to go into finance because they like brainiacs.

cio me considering ditching the whole med school thing and trying to be a mountain guide/writer instead (it'll never work!)

WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MOUNTAIN GUIDE/ARTIST/MUSICICICIAN AND LARGE DOMINO'S PIZZA?

yeah bars are out too.
i don't smoke but i need to cut out my iced coffee habit.
i'm going to see if i can get away with the car. i have it registered out of state so my insurance and stuff are really low.
