More thoughts on jobs and working

[Matty]

Yeah. So I either get 100% salary to be on the Internet all day at work, or 50% to be on the Internet all day at home.

It's not even debatable.

Yeah. So I either get 100% salary to be on the Internet all day at work, or 50% to be on the Internet all day at home with my son.

It's not even debatable.

My son needs a college fund. He's gonna go to MIT and become an astronaut.

 

[Mudcat]

Hey! Me too!

 

[Matty]

I've started to accept the fact that NASA may not call my mom to inquire about my availability re: astronaut duties.

 

[Mudcat]

Giving more thought to this upcoming week and having Tuesday off rather than the long weekend.

---> I am not as down on it as I thought I was.

Like yes, tomorrow I will be wishing I was at home and it was a long weekend.

But Tuesday it will be like, hey, I'm at home. Lookit me.

Overall, I will have the same number of sleep-ins and the same amount of time for music and the same days where I'm free to do smack.

It's just that the week will be broken up in an unusual way. Might actually be good.

We'll see.

 

[reno cool]

yeah sure. and by the time you get to work wednesday it will be almost weekend again.

 

[Mudcat]

It'll be all hump day 'n shit.

Not that I would ever use the expression hump day.

But yeah.

 

[Mudcat]

I reckon tomorrow I will get sung to and have some kind of fancy shmancy dessert, being as my birthday is Tuesday and it is a holiday.

That's what happens with birthdays where I work. Singin'. Eatin'.

Oh boy.

My brother went there. He did not become an astronaut. Would have been cool though.


Your son is going to Hollywood.

 

[Matty]

No reason he can't do both. Look at Tom Hanks.

 

[IAG]

I wonder what kind of money "real" astronauts make.

 

[Matty]

Apparently they make shit money. Unreal.

 

[IAG]

Apparently they make shit money. Unreal.

Wow. You're right. That surprises me...I figured 200k minimum yearly...looks like they top out at 110k or so...if that info was correct.

Get JL to Hollywood or buy him a golf club tomorrow.

I would think the risk of dying would be very high as an astronaut. Ya know, black holes, space ship exploding 17 seconds after take off and shit.

They really should be banking low $200K

 

[Mudcat]

So here I head off to work on Monday morning, knowing that I have tomorrow off. It's weird. Do I in fact pick up a DQ Blizzard on the way home as I generally do on Friday?

Why yes. Yes, I suppose I do.

I woulda thought they made way more. A fokken Director of Finance in an average corporation makes 150-200. Biggest risk to them is choking on their spinach salad.

They're traditionally pilots, ex military types. Doubt many have BS degrees, let alone from MIT.
