beaucoup de pointlessness

[alliensis]

Having shredded 12 boxes of financially-related junk mail with my co-worker, who not only looks like a Colin but is named Colin, I have discovered that pointless tasks are very Zen for me

Is that 40-hour thing MA law or national law? If it's national, then, uh...*hides from labor official.*

Later in the day, on my voyage to the temp agency, I discovered I was mistaken. Starting at 16, it's legal to work 9 hours a day, 48 hours a week. Don't you just love child labor?

You're only just now discovering the love that is a scroll wheel? Damn, you are a Mac user. ;)

[alliensis]

Au contraire - a scroll knob thingy is laziness which ≈ but ≠ love.

[tinuvielchild]

Point.

pointless tasks lets the brain rest and hands move.
sometimes i love them more than biology. but only in small doses.

There must needs be thought, it's true. That's what the contemplation of the mail is for. Besides, I get to find out cool things like the fact that Larry Summers is eligible for OMFG 800 BAZILLION DELTA SKY MILES WITH THIS FREE PROMOTION.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

welcome to the rest of your life. My recommendation, start drinking at 10am.

The rest of my life is underworked, overpaid, air-conditioned, and mind-numbing? Sweeeet.

i'd say that describes at least 50% of the population...

hmm, i worked 40 hours when i was 17. wasn't aware it was illegal.

[alliensis]

It wasn't, I found out later in the day at the temp agency. My bad.
