Quite Rude

A fortnight of work

Blogged on Saturday 7^th August 2004 at 2:58:55 AM by David

Well, I've have held down a job now for two weeks and I've come to a few conclusions; it sucks, it's hard and it's very very foamy.

That's right I said foamy, because I work at Vitafoam. My God there's lots of foam there, I've swept it, I've picked it up, I've rolled it and I've brought tons of it home in my pockets.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to sweep foam??? If the piece's are small the brush just runs over them, likewise if the pieces are too big, if it's slightly damp it sticks to the floor and a light breeze will just destroy a pile of the stuff that's taken ages to build up.

Man I hate that place, I need to get a different job, I'm good with webdev, any offers?

   Sure. You can teach me all you know; mentor me. I can pay you only in thanks, so don't expect any money.

   Flattery will get you very far, but not that far.

   Anyway, you already know CSS and XHTML and I hear you're pretty nifty with PHP, what more do you need?

   And I know exactly what you mean about foam, I have to use the shit all day in the warehouse at work.

   Speaking of which, I can see if there's any jobs spare if you like, it's very good pay.

   But why do you want a job here anyway? Aren't you off to uni in 2 months?

   Yes, I'm off to Uni soon, that's why I need money, Uni costs and I want as small a student loan as possible. By the way, you know you can edit your comments right?

   Mmm... foam. Tastes foamy, like foam.
   And anyway, beer can only be paid for with moolah, which has to be earned by sweeping foam at some time. We've all "sweeped the foam" at some point, right? Right?

   I've never "sweeped the form" (or swept the form, either)... Lol :-P

   Who said sweeped the form? phli, have you been a-editing again? It seems unlikely being that stell posted at 1:06AM and your self-inflicted bed-time is 8PM, but anything's possible.

   On a slightly guilty note, I feel bad for assaulting Dan's blog like that. However I don't see any reason why anyone should feel a burning urge to tell him about it, if you catch my drift.

    Yeah, I agree with David. So, if anyone here is talking to him on MSN or anything, just keep cool.

    Good, so long as we're agreed that Dan never finds out.

    D'oh!

    I edited nothing. I demand an apology. Or at the very least 3 and a half turnips.

    PS. Anyone want to do anything after results?

    I think I'll be too busy crying.

    I'll get back to you on that whole turnip thing.

    You're correct schteel, he DOES blow. ^_^

    Sweeping the foam, eh? I'm hoping that's not innuendo... don't you be getting all... Paul on me.

    But... why don't you have a webdevelopment job, like freelancer? From what I've seen on the CSS Forums you've got skillz... and the site ain't lookin' bad, either.

    I suppose I should have replied sooner, but I didn't know you'd left a message.

    I am doing some freelancing work on ScriptLance. It gets me a little extra cash every now and then.

    I can say the same, now. By the way, this is just a reply so you know I replied to your reply to my reply.
