Getting a Job :(

well....brothah.....who said anything about staying unemployed and not doing anything? i, myself, am an artist/musician....and sure as hell do A LOT more than that.....i direct my energy toward positive movements...not fueling the fires of destruction "just because somebody else will do what i dont do"....thats the heart of the sickness of the world right there in that statement...the defeatist attitude

this is not a progressive outlook at all.

dude.....so much arguement could be given to this comment but lets just start with the basics........energy flow....you put your energies toward good movements and positives will flow into your life, vica versa.......live for yourself, not others ...... & lastly, the "change the system from the inside out" thing.....this is no new idea.....and i think you better look into the thinking behind that ideal.....its no doubt a wise approach, but not surfical by any means....it requires understanding.....

no hard feelings bro, im just trying to share the light a little

 

Temp agencies are a way for corporations to 'hire' people for short periods of time without giving them any benefits or set hours. Often 'temps' earn less money than those actually working for the corp because the agency takes a standard fee right off the top of their income to 'pay' for the service of getting them a job. The corp also pays the temp agency for services. In some cases it's alright and a good way to make some $$ if you're not worried about the 'benefits'. In others it's a hellish existance because you're expected to perform the same job duties as everyone else who might be making twice as much as you are. Temps are also treated like crap alot because they can't come back at the corporation, there's no hire/fire process, thus no accountability. The agency just tells you you're not wanted at that particular place anymore. Areas with a large electronics manufacturing markets are booming with temp agencies.

 

no government is a feasible alternative. One that we haven't tried yet. I never said the government was responsible for the happiness of it's citizens, but if it makes them unhappy, that can't be good.

I place my happiness in the hands of me, and I am amazingly happy. But when capitalism comes into play I definitely feel there's something wrong about it.

I see, a temporary job.

 

I just droped down to working 2 days a week woohoo. I'm such a slackass motherfucker (compared to my normal 60-70 hours of work a week).

 

yeah bout the happiness issue too, i think u could even have a great job, but just the fact that u have to do things at a certain time and place in a certain timeframe just makes people unhappy at any time. i think all work in general can suck sometimes, but work is what gets things done, so it must be done.

 

mirakously dead, i was talking to the original poster. he is a 16 year old kid. not many job oppurtunities when ur 16 and go to high school full time

i direct my energy towards lots of other things besides my job..... its just too bad that my job is the only thing that pays my bills

 

you're still amazing

 

"Choose a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life"

 

...if that's what you want...

 

all's good bro

 

I now have three babysitting jobs and I love it!

 

one job is a scheduled around 80 hours a month, another one's just an on-call type thing, and the new one should be like 40 hours a week or something.

 

I just set up an interview the other day for Chevron, also.

 

I wish I could have the job like I had when I lived in VT. I worked maintenance for this big art center. I did everything from snow removal to setting up and packing art exhibits. They just made up a list of stuff that needed to be done and then left us alone. Oh yeah, my supervisor was an ol' Vietnam Vet that was one of the biggest stoners I've ever known. Plus he became one of my best firends. I smoked more at work than I did at home.

 

a store clerk, of course. Silly, I'd never work for the corporation.
