I am beginning to hate my job.

Ugh I've never been a big fan of Mena Suvari...don't think she's particularly attractive.

In work ethics, I'm pretty much at the point of "Office Space" mentality. If you've seen that movie, then you know how I work. I go in when I want, leave when I want, dont come in to work when I want, and don't really do anything when I'm at work. That's me!

It sucks that way. Trust me, I've been doing this for nine months now and its quite boring and unmotivating. Then again, they do pay me to update https://www.s2ki.com while I'm there, and yes, some people really do know this, actually all of my bosses do.

I can't really bitch though, they pay me quite well. With a new project coming down the pipe, I'll get more motivation and a new learning curve - the pressure, it always helps. I can only wish you the same.

But if you really hate your job, heck, quit and go somewhere else. Unemployment is low, but then again...there's tech companies out there who are dropping employees like flies, and others who are just flat out closing their doors. If you want to know more about them, well....or even investing information, always check http://www.fu ckedcompany.com (you gotta put that together or else the censors will go off when I post this like it should be) at least once a week - your company might just show up. I'm still waiting for mine.

My worst job was a paperboy at 13. I remember going out in the snow at 4:00am in the morning to fold the 10 lb sunday papers in Dallas, TX. I then had to deliver those papers using a sling around my shoulder and walking since I couldn't ride my bike very well in the snow and with about 100 lbs on my shoulder.

Then there were the rain days. Getting caught in the pouring rain while trying to finish your route. Then customers call and complain because their papers are wet and you have to go back out into the rain to give them new ones.

All this for a measly $10 per paper per month. Then worst of all, I had a route in a college campus. Damn students would stiff me 40% of the time when they left school. Of course they never lived in the same room year to year so I couldn't track them. I am so glad I am not a paper boy anymore.

Only good thing, I guess it builds character.

Back to American Beauty for a second...first of all, I agree with Jay Li, Mena does nothing for me. I'd do Annette Benning before her any day - even if she is a little dusty. My favorites in that flick were:

"Is this what we smoked last night?"
"This is all I ever smoke"

That and the whole drive through scene - especailly after the "Shut up, this is none of your business" - "Well, technically it is, see she's the drive through manager..."

God, I loved that!

Well, I guess that I am one of the lucky ones. I don't make a lot, but, I just love my job! Especially when "shitz hittin' the fan".
There is a name for someone that runs into a building that everyone else is running out of... "Adrenaline Junkie"
