How on earth do you hold down a job?

through class struggle?

not known for it's successes in the 21st century tho, is it?

but not everyone is oxbridge material

i've told this stoy before but back when i was floridly psychotic i worked a few days as a temp and it was the most harrowing days of my life. if you can't settle into your job just like every other fucker, then...

i guess it's a game of wits like. how much you can push before the world begins to push you back

I would add that in my youger pre-mortgage days, I used to do stuff like workplace organising, but I couldn't really be doing with the constant threat of dismissal nowadays.

No doubt when the great day dawns, I'll be first up against the wall, but you'll forgive me for not losing too much sleep about that at the moment.

If it's any consolation, I'm not an anarchist in any meaningful sense anymore. I just like pissing about on the internet. Preferably while being paid handsomely for doing so.

Just get a job as a lecturer in Manchester and you can get a season ticket for old trafford and I'll come down every so often to sponge off you.

Might see if I can get a teaching job in England, I prefer London, pretty sure my old schools would take me back.
Liverpool or manchester'd be alright though. I could listen to the girls' lovely accents.

Not only is it better. You get to lie to yourself about how you're protecting kids from paedos while you're doing it.

Grit yer teeth and grab your ankles.

Honestly if you can say working temp was the most harrowing time of your life at the end of it I think you can safely say you had it pretty easy.

I know! If it wasn't for being behind the wheel I'd never get any sleep.

easy, you suppress any desires you may have to to tell you're employer where to go and fill your spare time with something that helps you forget the contradictions in your life, such as drug abuse, boxing or anything else that helps destroy a few braincells whilst enjoying yourself.
alternatively you could get a job in a workplace run by wobblies!

Pretty sure alcohol is how must people cope.

To actually answer the point of the opening thread, you hold down the job when informing your coworkers of their legal rights, organizing and trying to incite your workmates by doing it behind the boss's back and making sure to avoid conflict with her unless there's a critical mass which makes it unlikely for her to dismiss it as the problem of one troublemaker. At least, that's how I went about it. Could be that that's one of the reasons it had such a limited effect, though. Then again, since this is class struggle anarchism (or libertarianism in general?), the fact that you're not looking to lead the struggle or create a loyal cadre is actually very helpful in staying out of management's sights.

na I got really fond on SE London when I was there, I miss my old school

I escaped feelings of lugubrious emptiness by making friends with the owner of the local sweet shop. He gives me lots of free lollipops and oat bars, which I save for my train ride home from work.

no, how could you!!1
