Usually when there is a time change.

Not so much now that I (a) have a cell phone which updates the time itself and (b) don't really work for other people.

Why is today not like other days?

[keiko]

I work a t a cruise ship crew corner and only every other tuesday do we have a ship in port, but it doesn't come in till noon. every other day there is a ship at seven thirty. so yeah, that's why.

weird :S ive never actually done that... im far too lazy to do that hehee...
but i was working in a plastics manufacturing plant a couple years ago (omg SO BORING) and what i was doing with my job, was putting cable ties thru holes in plastic tubing... for freaking 8 hours straight pretty much haha... so this one night i was about 3 seconds away from real good deep sleep, when i wake up all of a sudden thinking im at work, and my hands automatically make the motion of putting a cable tie thru the holes... then i was like... omg... fuck thats it i quit this job... haha...
it was so boring working there though... there was literally a couple times where i fell asleep at work for a minute .. but still manged to put the cable ties thru the holes

when i was working at dominos i had a bad habit of pulling doubles, triples, not going home at all. so when i finally got a day off i'd wake up when the phone rang, without even openong my eyes, i'd answer "thank you for calling dominos, this is *** would you like to try our..... oh hi"

HAHAA omg i HATE the phone scripts we have to use at work...
"thank you for calling little caesars nordel, home of the 5$ hot and ready all day every day, this is heather speaking how can i help you?"
or if theres a certain special on at the time...
"thank you for calling little caesars nordel, this is heather speaking, would you like to try our 9.99$ speacial today?"
then you get those fucks that interrupt you to ASK ABOUT THE SPECIALS!!!... so i just ignore the phone script and say "thank you for calling little caesars nordel, this is heather speaking how may i help you?"
yeah. i hate doing phones at work. grr.

... don't really work for other people.

and that's why folks like us will never go back to being a spoke on someone else's wheel - I start work when I wake up, if I wake up - Sunday 3am, Tuesday 3pm.. s'all good. Course there's the whole not-earning-when-sleeping issue but I'll put money on you 9-to-5ers praying at least one day a week that you could screw 2 hours of cash and stay in bed.

Now if I could only stop people asking to meet me, I could paint the windows black and switch to my own timezone.

.. oh, and the new board javascript is fooked in Firefox, so none of the editor style buttons work.. *hits out randomly at whoever thought Ajax was a good idea*
