Think I'll stick with my Caldor job, thanks.

My K-Mart job was elite back in the day.

My first job was paperboy.  In Highschool I worked for the Department of Revenue.  I would manually stamp all tax forms.  That's it.  One manual task done thousands of times every night.  George Jetson had a better job.  I was surprised they didn't have a machine that did that work.  Or a trained monkey.

Yeah, grumblers tend to just shit as they shuffle down the carpeted hallway and don't care for underwear or diapers.

Yes.  I use an automobile.

Should that not be available, I intend to use man cannon.

This post just hit Martinus' Google.

My first job was as a stockboy at Caldor.  BOR-ING!

Fuck you.  I was in Domestics.   So go fuck yourself.

I got a couple of these in a late arriving package:

I didn't really know what to make of them when I opened them up.  It's like an upside down longneck inside a tube-thing.   I initially thought they were plastic, and was thinking it was kind of lame, etc.  After eyeballing the package more closely, I saw they're actually borosilicate glass (Pyrex), and....well shit after extensively "testing" them, they're not too bad.    

The insulation works quite well, keeping the beers cold long after beers in my regular glasses would be toasty warm.  They aren't worth $16 each, but hey...mine were free for me.  They've actually turned out to be one of my favorite gifts this year, strangely enough.  Cleaning them down there at the bottom is going to be a bitch though if the dishwasher doesn't get everything or whatever.

Edit: $16 not $17.  Whatever.

Couple of cookbooks and CDs.
Also got Stripping the Altars, a biography of de Gaulle () and The Black Jacobins.

A good haul.

Ed:

Haunting, sweet, compassionate, deeply emotional?

That sounds like an awesome job.

It was pretty great. Other fun parts of the job: getting to take luggage to the leather repair shop, picking up flyers from the printer, and going down into the bowels of Lambert International Airport with a pass in order to drop off stuff at the shop. Worst part: having to mindlessly shrinkwrap hundreds of items.

I got a Breville Keurig machine. Which is pretty cool.

I am also in the my mom buys me legos camp.

Right tool for the right job; so I don't think shoes on their own are going to enable one to get somewhere 30 miles away in a hurry are they ?

No, but I've ridden a bicycle without shoes on and it is really uncomfortable.

You could say the same about most cars, and aren't you labouring the point for its own sake ? I was talking about modes of transportation, really it's not that difficult.
