Make haste slowly

It’s official…

I listen to either not enough or too much music. Not sure if there can be too much music listening but sometime in the next couple of days, I will have listened to around 62,000 tracks according to last.fm — only including tracks played through this computer; which probably makes the number somewhat low. Just noticed it today and found it interesting most likely because I’m bored.

Click here to see what I’m talking about.

It probably means that I just have too much free time which is most likely the case. Not that I mind having an extra-ordinary amount of free time — I kind of enjoy it. Still I think its time I started either doing more homework or found a job. Still haven’t been able to think of some line of work that would go well with school. Being a draftsman did not go well as it ended up that I had to put work before school. That whole if the project goes wrong it ends up being my fault deal … just didn’t do it for me. It especially didn’t work when no one was willing to admit that a part time employee shouldn’t be making final decisions. Not that I actually botched any projects where it was legitimately my fault.

The hospital is out of the question as I “resigned” from that place long ago and don’t want to put up with their bullshit ever again. Sure its a job but it’s one where you’re less than a human being. In the long run if I have to clean up someone’s shit it better be my own and not have to convince myself that I’m doing a public service — or that I really need the money. Beside that, they probably have me down on a list with plenty of other people who are union supporters (which is why I had to “resign”) who they won’t hire again. Joining up with the union to score some points with a chick I was interested in probably wasn’t the best of ideas but hell it seemed like a great idea at the time. Sure joining up was the last straw for me there but at least its a good story.

What I need is something where I do little to nothing, can hide claiming I was doing something important (thanks for that idea mike), and can lastly do all my homework getting paid as though I were doing my homework for that company. What an excellent place that would be. Places like this most likely don’t exist but it’s worth a shot if I do say so — and I do! I’m thinking mom and pop hardware store like Colliers might be a place like this. You don’t have to know what anything in the store does or help people. The perfect job for me. Still I really want to go through a string of jobs where I quit angrily and memorably — hopefully with video taped evidence of each event. I think everyone should get to do that once.

Think that’s all I have to say for tonight.
