I got this idea from some dude who is hiding from the internet this week so I don’t have any obligation to credit him.
Since I’ve been polishing up my resume for the legal market, there are a lot of interesting ways I’ve prostituted mahself made minimum wage that didn’t make the cut for the 1-page [...]
Believe it or not, counting is not the most mentally tasking skill I have learned over the years. As a result, my shifts spent working on inventory at retail job this week have left me a lot of time on the clock to consider the greater mysteries of life.
Yesterday, I tried to decide how [...]
New blogs will probably be infrequent this week. We’re doing store inventory at retail job through Wednesday and I pulled a floor shift on Friday. After that, though, all is more or less quiet on the work front until March, when I start teaching.
I have to up at an unrealistically early hour every day [...]
Today is the last shopping day for Christmas 2008. Stores will be closing early.
I’m working at el deparmento storo until 6, when the lights go out and the holiday music finally gets shut off.
If you’re planning on doing some shopping today, please remember: you’re the dumb fuck who waited until Christmas Eve to find the [...]
One of the things about taking a retail job after having a “real” career for 10 years, it gives you a different perspective on things. I remember my first couple Black Fridays when I was working my way through college as more hectic and exhausting. This year, however, I was mostly irritated at the insanity [...]
I think I read somewhere in my seasonal employment contract that I was obligated to watch part of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade on TV. Which is a much more awesome excuse than just admitting that I sorta like the crappy television tradition. Fingers crossed that next year I can maybe see the real thing if [...]
So I just saw this promo video pop up from my old employer…
Not to beat a dead horse, but I think in light of the economic realities of our country and the current queer community zeitgeist, this video and this event seems especially tone deaf and ill-advised. I question whether the “leader” of O&E has [...]
Well, I didn’t win the caption contest, but thanks to everyone who voted for me.
I’m now on day 3 of sleeping more than waking because of a nasty cold. I’m starting to feel like my normal self again, but I’m not back to 100%.
I’ve been a little sparse on the personal details of late, so [...]
I wasn’t going to keep going with this, but after I posted my last blog on this topic, I received an email from a friend in San Francisco that said, “Also I saw [[former coworker of yours]] last night. Apparently they are saying you had an opportunity with a friend and took it and thats [...]
I’ve had a few emails from people associated with Out & Equal asking why I quit the organization. While I’d love to make the whole thing public, I’d rather be a little cautious. Upon assessing the landscape in my final 5 weeks, I determined two things:
1) You should never give a job 5 weeks notice.
2) [...]
