A Job Aint Nothing But Work.
1. Living a Slow Death
All nine to five jobs are essentially paying you to die. Life is just a large (or small depending on how you look at it. The glass is half empty...) mass of time. Nine to five jobs are paying you for your time. They give you money in exchange for your life. They are paying you to die. If you work a nine to five job, you arent living for money, you're dying for it. (This is a direct quote from the manuscript I wrote that no one wants to publish.) I think people should get paid for the amount of work they get accomplished. If you work at a factory that makes plastic floral arrangements you should get paid by how many plastic floral arrangements get made that day as opposed to how much time you spend making them. But hey, thats just me.
6 am getting out of bed again./ Cant get back in cause sleep aint gonna pay the rent,/ day to day they keep you working like a slave,/ taking credit for the work you gave/ and stealing your raise Down- Amel Larrieux
2. Internships suck.
If you are lucky enough to find one that pays, consider yourself blessed. The reason I came to California was because of an internship I got at a recording studio in Hollywood. It was kind of cool. I split a pizza with The Bangles ( I got to hear a live acoustic version of Walk like an Egyptian that you never will hear and yes, theyre still hot.) Christina Ricci is shorter and more busty than I had imagined. (they were posting a movie next door.) Jeordie White a/k/a Twiggy Ramirez (Formerly of Marilyn Mansion, currently in A Perfect Circle possibly touring with NIN.) is more normal that I thought hed be. Weird Al Yankivich is a really good musician, etc., etc.,... I also learned some technical mumbo jumbo that you wouldnt be interested in. But the most important thing I learned is that I dont want to be a recording engineer. Neither did my bosses They were all just frustrated musicians. They were all cool guys but getting a cool guy coffee is still getting coffee. Besides any boob with a little money and a little know how can record an album in their home. The recording business aint what it used to be.
If my manager insults me again/ I will be assaulting him/ and after I fuck the manager up,/ then Imma short the register up Spaceship-Kanye West
3. Selling out
Everyone who has ever had a job has sold out. Im pretty sure that your first job sucked. No matter if it was slinging meat at What-a-burger. (my southerners know what Im talking about.) , or folding t-shirts at the Gap. The thing is, everybody needs money, its just a fact of life. Sometimes you have to do beer commercials because no one went to see Melvin Goes to Dinner. (And fewer people have even heard of it.) I guess thats the price you have to pay for living your life. Every time you decide to move forward you get slapped with three times as many responsibilities as you had before. The worst part is, theres not turning back. I guess thats the reason most people give up and decide never to leave their small Springfield, USA towns and settle for a life of less money and just getting by. It makes sense. Its hard to resist a sure thing. Another quote from the script.
work six days a week, can't sleep Saturdays though/Muscles trembling like a pager when the battery's low/And you just don't know where the years went/Although every long shift feels like a year spent Underdog- The Coup
By the way anyone that wants to read it can but there are three rules:
1. You have to promise to actually read it. It takes up too much of my time, money, paper, and ink (4 things I dont have enough of.) to sent this to you and have it sit on your coffee table.
2. I have to trust you. No random people. And just because youre on my friends list doesnt mean I trust you. Sorry. Dont be offended if I decline.
3. Seeing as this will require me knowing your address, you will have to trust me too.
Note: i dont know the difference between positive and negative criticism. Its all positive to me.
As a person that works retail I would like to send out a big middle finger you to all you bastards getting up at 5 am to go shopping for bullshit you dont need today. Im just kidding, you know I love you. But seriously Fuck you.
