When I check email before I can get on, I have to pass through the temptation-danger forest of MSN articles. Usually they are about M.Jackson, how to be sexier/healthier or money polls. I try to avoid the whole thing but sometimes like Gigli and the third Tremors movie it's a nice distraction from that constipation causing anxiety period when waiting to see if there is new email. People with high speed modems might not know the extent of the agony. We low speed people get smarter eventually and learn to use this time wisely, scooping out weird sludge that has found its way beneath toenails, picking chunks of pepperoni's from the home row or whatever. Anyway, I read a brief article on MSN about the top signs of waning job satisfaction. It concluded with, "Remember for your job to do what you were designed to do." Saying it this way, in my opinion, the only jobs left would be explorer, farmer, maybe something with the DNR, and porn star. I don't know that anybody is "designed" to do anything especially teach 13 year people Social Studies or sell things. The sell things takes care of about 75% of the jobs. A job might be a few steps removed from the final product but even a mason or a fry-cook is working to make somebody a buck by offering the lambs a "service." There is a book called "The Reinvention of Work" that I ripped off. The basic theme is what my grandpa who is a farmer already knows. He says things like "Work?...I never worked a day in my life.

I was going through an abandoned building this morning and found a stack of unused Christmas Tree Removal Bags, still in their 1950's packages. I received an image of somebody on a televised street corner saying "Get your Christmas tree removal bags!" The fact that there were five of them says that whoever once owned the building was beyone the help of medicine and deep in the jaws of OCD, or maybe there was just a special at Kmart that day. I also found a small teal fan that seemed to be from the 50's as well. When I plugged it in the blades were hitting a bent cage and creating sparks. The blades looked a little sharmp so I decided not to put that one on Ebay, though I would have made a killing.
