My job consists of walking between subway cars explaining to people how I'm a hard working guy just down on his luck and needing some money to pay for my kid's schooling/for my dog's life saving surgery. Doing pretty well for myself.

I am starting a new job tomorrow work as a janitor for 10 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. It is a good thing I didn't go to college for computer engineering or anything, cause that would be suicide levels of failing at life.

Alvie posted:I would kill for a print of that. Just buy any of the crimethinc books on amazon. They are filled with those. And, even better than unemployment is being unemployed and abusing it: http://www.stealfromwork.crimethinc.com/ Why be unemployed when you can do less than the minimum for as long as possible while stealing time and stuff from the company? Call in to work saying you're "working from home" and then hit your dealer up and get faced at 0900. Have it all and make the moments count IMO.

Do it ironically posted:im unemployed, it's cool for the first couple of weeks but if youre a normal person after that it gets super boring and you just want to work and be in a routine again This is not true at all if you're on unemployment (or employment insurance as they call it here). I had the time of my life the two times I was on it. 66% pay for doing nothing? Yes please.

Even with no job I have so much to do that I enjoy from reading, drawing, working out, computering, musicing, etc that I can't fit it all in each day and could easily fill every second of the rest of my life completely content in my own personal pursuits.

yeah once it kicks in those 6 months or so are like the real freedom and liberty they go on and on about in the constitution, then of course once it ends starvation is a fantastic motivator to go out and sweet talk ur way back into a career

The only point of compulsory employment in a capitalist society is to instill the fear of destitution while the real point of "gainful" employment is to maim and murder you plebian saps stuck in the system. There is no profit incentive; it's just in-your-face brutality

I was unemployed for three months. I was financially okay, but it loving sucked. After the first week you get bored as poo poo. Hobbies end up feeling forced. You can only clean your house so much. Going to the RES Re Employment Session for a day where you sit with 200 other people who are just as bored being told not to put fuckman@yahoo.com on your resume. It was awful. The only light was Obamacare had JUST kicked in, so since I wasn't making anything I got the best healthcare plan I've ever seen for myself and wife for basically free.

I got laid off over the winter of '07/08, and the state was paying me fifty seven loving dollars a week because of various bullshit. Hey, nevermind how much I actually made at my job, just go ahead and look at everything that was not my job and use that number instead!

As a chronically unemployed Mexican I can confirm that the only purpose jobs have is to get white husband's out of the house so we better breeders can ride your wild wife all day long. You might think that feminism might have slowed this down since now more women are working. Boy you could not be more wrong. Working women have their own money to rent motel rooms and buy me drugs. And they now feel even more empowered by sleeping around so they do it more. Gid drat I love feminism.
