I should totally fucking write a humor column, right here, right at my desk, charging $55/hour the whole time. And make it like a really LONG one that takes the rest of the day to come up with a concept, bang out a first draft, and then revise and perfect... Then upload it to my server over like a 300 baud modem so it takes another half hour to FTP it up there.

I should totally do that.

I, too am very busy. I work with Ben, as always. Oh no, here comes that goddamn manager again I need to file a status repo

Well, it's a contract job, first of all, so you get paid only for the hours you "work".

Second of all, it's a ton of work, and not enough time to do it. "I'm already behind here." - Worm. So there's really no time to goof off as would normally befit a programmer of my stature. I don't even have time to write this m

Then how is this any different from the jobs that you've had before and the job I currently have? Are you sharing an office? Do you have a manager who possesses real technical (and admirable) skill? Why aren't you goofing off?

You didn't develop a newfound work ethic that puts mine and the old Ben's to shame, did you? If you did, this is the electronic equivalent of a guy's drinking buddies sobering up and becoming Christians!

If, by "construction", you mean, constructing fine Java web applications, then YES, I guess you could say I got a "construction job".

Like, ALL DAY?

You got a job in construction?

Well, I only posted the original NY post because I thought it would get people riled up (success!) In truth, I really don't care one way or the other, and I dislike New Yorkers as much as the next guy, particularly if the next guy is the guy I was sitting next to at the Charlotte International Airport, who said, and I quote, "Man, fuck New York, and fuck New Yorkers."

I guess...

I guess I just don't give a darn.

If I am going to go on some sort of cartoon hate spree in the Opening Day thread, I would at least HOPE that you'd be able to call me on it.

You've changed, bro. Changed in a way that concerns me deeply. The old you would have driven his fist of ANGER and QUIPPING right through the giant holes I left. Calling out the New York Yankees as drunks and victims of STDs when their last five or six teams have been made up of perfect gentlemen? Ignoring Jeff "Slime" Kent's place on the 92 Jays? COME ON MAN!

It's a good thing you don't have a web cam. Because we'd only find you on it DEAD in the next couple of weeks.
