I Hate Work

I don't hate the job I'm doing right now, I just hate work in general. The fact is, I kind of like the job I have, and I will be kind of sad to see it go when I move out of state this summer. Yes, my job exists where I'm moving to, but it won't be the same. It won't have the same people, same rules or same problems. I'm not career oriented, so I won't be looking for work in the same field again, anyways.

But I digress.

I hate working. I really do. This goes along with how I hate people that make me do things. At work, there are lots of people that make you do things. Even when I was a Dept. Head at a previous job, there were any number of people that made me do things. Some of them weren't even part of my organizational chart, and shouldn't have been able to make me do things. But they did. Quite often they were way below me on the organizational chart, and they made me do things.

I'm thinking of the part in the movie Office Space where Peter Gibbons goes off about how when he was in high school he didn't have an answer to, "What would you do if you had a million dollars?" When I saw that, I was like, "Right on Brother!" My answer was the same as his, I would do nothing. Really, nothing at all.

I don't understand people like Bill Gates. If I were him, I'd have retired years ago. I'd be sleeping late, throwing all night parties in my mansion, watching more movies, reading more books, and travelling. Once I found out I had $40,000,000,000 cash in my checking account, I would have checked out.

Drew Carey just did that. He figured out that he had enough money now to last him the rest of his life. He retired from show business. He said he's not going to do anything ever again. Lucky bastard.

I hate work.

Hey, if you make millions through whatever means necessary, can I be one of your loser friends that lives in the guest house?

Basically, I want to be Kato Kaelin. Then, when you do something outlandish, I can make my own millions by whoring myself on talk and radio shows.

Thanks for looking out!

I'm moving to Annapolis, MD. I wouldn't eat any bug if he's over 20. I'd eat a bug if he was over 25. I think I'd eat an ant.

That's what I heard, but I plan on just sticking to my house. Well, not a house exactly a duplex thing. I bought it last week. It seems nice enough but I'm kind of worried because one of neighbors is this freaky guy that smokes on the patio, has scary toys and his roommate is this crazy cat lady with like 1000 cats.
