The working class is foiled again
May 8 2007
so today i had my first ever day of wage slavery, and naturally i wanted to stick it to the man by posting on libcom and being paid to, but apparently the evils of capital know no bounds, because my computer didn't have internet access. bastards! on the plus side, i did get home in time for the simpsons and there's an hour of simpsons later.
oh, and i'm sure that raw will be pleased to note that i am in fact working in an office...

your first task then is to find something in your job you absolutely need access to the internet for (placing orders quicker, research, e-mail (you don't have e-mail?) etc. etc. so they give you net access.

A computer without internet in this day and age?
In my last job I had dial up - they changed it to broadband after a few day of no one being able to phone or fax into the office, they bought the line that I needed to be online the build up the company website. They were a bit suss when I start going over the 5gig limit though

yes, only 7 days short of a full 23 years straight of avoiding work. i achieved this by not spending much money (music is mostly free, as are films, and the few computer games i wanted, and i was pretty anti-social at uni), having generous parents, a large family, choosing a course where for one year i was actually given money, going to one particularly hilarious substitutionist action as my first ever demo and getting lots of compensation as a result, choosing to travel in the third world, and planning (and succeeding) in leaving the country so i never have to pay back my student loan.
sadly it's a temp job that was meant to only last 1 day, although is now up to 3 cos the work didn't get done.... but it's only using excel and word now. it's actually hilariously pointless: i have to fine tune the formating on a bunch of spreadsheets so they fit on one page and look nice and standard when printed, but they haven't written all the contents yet, so once they add that, it will have to be done all over again. and i get to do a print out every 5 minutes, so i'm simultaneously waging war on earth first.
Your first ever day of wage slavery? Are you for fuckin real?
