re: more other-job-types wondering 

@frost @wolfe I think worth a try anyway. That way they know you might have limited mobility (so they'd probably put you in one place for a lot of time, and unfortunately that's probably register).

re: more other-job-types wondering 

@frost but like if you could survive on that money I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Like even though some customers are terrible I still feel like I'm doing something, even if small, for people, rather than just oh hey I help x huge organization make money.

re: more other-job-types wondering 

@frost It's pretty okay. The grossest part is if you're working an espresso machine, it's easy to spill grounds on your hand while cleaning the filter which is kinda oorgh. And I mean the typical food service stuff like having to clean bathrooms etc. Honestly the worst part is it's still food service, so it does get busy and doesn't pay that well.

Danny Elfman's Best Movie Scores? oooh, let's take a look, let's see

Dark Christmas
Dark Circus
Edward Bathands Returns
Headless Alice
Spidey's Big Top Adventure

King Louie singing to Mowgli about how he wants to be a man, man-cub, and stroll right into town cause he's sick of monkeying around

hits different when you've actually READ Jungle Book and Mowgli literally cannot shut up about his species dysphoria

it's THE MUPPET SHOW with our special guest, HATTORI HANZO!

wait, you're saying nobody can find him? uh...

to introduce our guest star is what I'm here to do
so it really gives me pleasure to introduce to you

ladies and gentlemen, MISTER ILYA REPIN!

oh yeah, listening to Meatloaf sing about his 8th Generation Brujsferatu with four dots in Auspex

he would do ANYTHING for love, except broker information to the Sabbat in return for untraceable assassinations. Of COURSE he won't do that!

@frost My *opinion* is no, you shouldn't. Call center is everything you hate about retail and answering the phone, and my last run in with it was emotionally brutal. Working at Target or Safeway is probably emotionally easier.

I think it'd be useful to have a resume for more generic stuff which would simply detail on programming experience.

I don't know why - recruiter calls probably - but my mood freaking plunged through the floor

@Chip_Unicorn actually more 10-20 but there's no way I would have known it at that point

coyote sing along hour, all caps filk, animal sex 

one two three fo

SPIDER MAN SPIDER MAN
DOES WHATEVER A SPIDER CAN
IS HE HOT? HE CAN BONE YA
BY TRANSFERRING SPERM PACKETS FROM HIS OPHISTHOSOMA
LOOK OUT
HERE COMES THE SPIDER MAN

Danny Elfman's gravestone will say;

coyote sing along hour 

here comes that awful feeling again
welcome the ugly animal
I hold my breath to watch you swing
my high rope acrobat ball and chain
I'm not afraid
I messed it
messed it
messed it
messed it up

I've got my telescope head in the haystack
I'm getting tired of your dodgeball circus act
put pepper in my coffee
I forgot to bark on command.

....

this monster in me makes me retch
I messed it
messed it up

look it's Pesach, blasting the opening of The Mummy Returns and enthusiastically yelling HAKHU MASENTE while waving an imaginary khopesh is SEASONAL

(even if that was Old Kingdom and Passover stuff is New Kingdom flavored - there's a weird archaeology story about that)

The Mummy Returns, commentary 

SOMETIME IN THE LATE 1990s

"okay, so the first movie had a half-decayed priest returned as a nearly unstoppable death machine wielding potent magics. What'll get people into theaters for 'Mummy II'?"
"what if we explore our heroes mythic origins?"
"eh."
"what if they're a heartwarming family who adventures together?"
"family friendly. Sure."
"what if you had smokingly hot people of EVERY POSSIBLE GENDER?"
"hm."
"kids like steampunk and undead pygmies?"
"okay..."
"what if you had an UNDEAD ARMY OF ANTHRO JACKALS as an excuse to do a Lawrence of Arabia fight?"

*slams the YES rubber stamp down on proposal*

You know. The last place that required a follicle drug test, I was working on aerospace industry stuff, and apartment paperwork in Bellevue is a lot less about potential safety and national security. So that REALLY turns me off, passing on this job listing.

possibly stress, possibly barometric pressure spawned little anxiety spike woke me up, this suuuucks
