Wasn't wally's thing not that he was incompetent, but he spent three times as much effort getting out of doing work, as it would take to just actually do it?

Speaking of incompetence: after just telling us we were safe last week, today my bosses announced they're letting go of all contractors at the end of April, including me. So, May 1st, I will be unemployed!

Yeah, that's just about what happened to me in '010.

I made one of my usual remarks to the effect that the axe could fall at any moment; my boss reassured me that they'd need us for the Win7 rollout.

After the Win7 rollout was cancelled, well, it wasn't much of a surprise.

Job is a bit more under control but I can't help but feel like I need to get some stuff done with the money and benefits it provides before I burn out and quit or get fired.

The job isn't even that bad all things considered. I just know how bad I am at this sort of thing.

But damn am I going to have a bitchin' PC when I'm unemployed again.

Man, guys. Handling knobs all day gives you blisters like you wouldn't believe.

There's a joke in there somewhere but I just can't seem to rub it out.

That's good, but your knob joke could use a little polish.

When they told me the company was bringing us beer, I was surprised.

When I discovered it was GOOD beer, I was more surprised still.

So you flipped out and killed them, right?

Let's just say I fulfilled my purpose.

Welp, I am officially unemployed. Time to see if I can get a new job before my savings runs out. White male privilege, don't fail me now!

So, back in November I hurt my right index finger loading some stage equipment onto a truck and had to go to the ER. I smashed it between two massive cases and almost tore off the tip. Three stitches, not that big of a deal.

Here's an exchange I had with another stagehand today:

"How the FUCK did you cut your finger?" (I guess one of the other guys told him)
"Oh, well, I got it caught between a couple of cases."
"Haven't you ever heard of the Super Glue Trick?"
"... no?"
"You use super glue and duct tape to seal up the wound and then you get back to work, and you go to the Hospital after you're done."

In case the subtext wasn't conveyed in the italics, the guy was basically calling me a pussy. I just kind of let it go, but man,

Fuck that guy.

Did he say "URRRAHHHHHHHH!" a lot, by any chance?

DN, just carry around a set of vinyl gloves. Just pop them on when you cut your hand and it will contain all of the blood and allow you to keep working without the burn usually associated with super glue and open wounds, if that's the problem. Or if you think you're going to bleed too much for a glove there's always duct tape.
