Raia and I have been ranting by Email about the stress, the burden and the pressure in our lives - which, of course, we do not not have anymore.
In short, life's like an O.D. of hard work.

Raia bitterly suggested (I'm really overdoing this, aren't I?) a "too much work" pity party, and I said hey - why not invite the Hatrackers?

Now, let the ranting begin! Who's first?

edit: (I really do not mind the hard work part; it is the "no life" part that is most difficult.)

I was just reminded of a scene in American Beauty:

quote:
MAN
(to Ricky)
Look. I'm not paying you to...
(eyes Lester,
suspiciously)
...do whatever it is you're doing
out here.

RICKY
Fine. Don't pay me.

MAN
Excuse me?

RICKY
I quit. So you don't have to pay
me. Now, leave me alone.

A beat.

MAN
*explicative*.

He goes BACK inside. LESTER looks at RICKY, who shrugs as He
stubs out the joint.

LESTER
I think you just became my
personal hero.

*I edited out an explicitive*

*rants about too much work*

*rants about even more work, due to exploding hard drives*

*brings out the soft drinks*

*offers Beanny a coke* [Smile]

Oh, Raia, I'm really sorry... I don't like Coke. I only get stoned on JH's birthday.

Ever see "Office Space"? There's a conversation within to the effect of:

"My job? I'm not going to do it anymore".
"You're going to quit?"
"No, I'm just not going to do it anymore."

I would so love to be able to say that. I suppose I could, but I'm too much of a 6 (see Kayla's birthday calculator post).

I have an aunt - a few years ago she was hunting and fishing and working and found she couldn't do all three. So, she quit work. Excellent.

Haha, it's ok. *offers orange juice*

And here I thought we'd be discussing Kosher foods again. I guess I need to make sure that next time I read "Work" instead of "Pork."

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Well, at least the thread was started by two of the three Israeli Hatrack contingents. [Wink]

Posted by Beanny (Member # 7109) on :

Mmm, orange juice...my favorite! How did you know?

Oy Vey Iz Mir, I wish I could truly enjoy it while reading a book or knitting, not revising for my exam.
