I work for initech, a software company which updates software for the y2k rollover. What do i actually do there, you might be asking youself. Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh (my boss) can't see me, heh heh - and, uh, after that I just sorta space out for about an hour. Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

I am also not a pussy.

I'm gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Saturday.

I'm a freelance jack of all trades, currently. Work includes, but is by no means limited to: childcare in my home, editing, tutoring/teaching, housekeeping... and a partridge in a pear tree. ;)

I believe you have my stapler.
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

So that's what I've been doing wrong!  I've been making wild speculations about current events for free all this time!

Alas, no.  :( They expelled me for being too young and dishonourable.
