Career choices

#1
Me at home: Yeah, I...uh, digital media? it's like the internet and that. Right now, I'm working on this...uh...I don't know how to explain it, but it's meant to be funny.

Me here: I cook. Dinners.

#2
Me at home: So...i need to redesign some of the front end of this, I need the colours to reflect more of the actual content rather than the percieved content.

Me here: So...i need to add salt.

#3
Me at home: Wow, look at that, I've got the exact shade of blue i wanted. And i only had to spend 20 minutes at that colour chart to do it...coffee?

Me here: Three meals on the go, flames everywhere, pans dancing on the hob, I'm listening to classic rock at full volume, and I still have time to wink at the girl ordering food.

#4
Girls at home: The inter...computers...media...wow...how, uh...interesting...for you.

Girls here: Oh my god, you cook?! I love that! Can I see the kitchen? Will you cook something for me sometime?

#5
Boss at home: Andrew, going forwards, can you please ensure that Sunday's shift reports are clearly labelled, as mislabelling can cause confusion within the weekly overview table.

Boss here: Yo! Andy man...i'm too...that's awesome...i can't move...uh...last night...oh man.

Yes, but at least with the digital media, you can aspire to having your own casting couch.

Joe, you're not considering the bigger picture. Which skillset is going to be more useful once we're living in the post-apocalyptic society? Which one has the bigger knives?

In the post apocolyptic landscape, I'm sure the people absolutely lacking in morals and willing to resort to cannibalism ealry on will last longest. Sure the knives may help, but they're no replacement for training. And surely working in digital media is the corporate equivalent to spending 5 years in the SAS. And of course having a soul so black you could shine your boots with it comes in handy when you're trying to hide from the zombies at night.

And the casting couch practice would come in handy when it becomes time to repopulate the world.

see, I'm really going to have to side with una here, on the post-apocalyptic argument. What good is human flesh if it's not cooked right?

As for the casting couch? uh...i think the fringe benifits of cooking kinda make up for that.

And by fringe benefits you mean food right? :-)

Let's not forget that the plan incorporates stealing sheep (would that be sheep rustling?), so we won't necessarily have to subsist on human flesh. Having sheep means a plentiful supply of wooly jumpers too.

Ah, I wasn't aware of the sheep rustling plan. Still, I'm sure you were able to cook at least enough to get by before going to Australia. I've been to your bbq, and lived to tell the tail.

I don't know where this idea that digital media has a casting couch came from. As far as I can tell, it's just bald guys talking to other bald guys about web 2.0...

There's a lot of coffee and cool t-shirts, but not much in the way of actresses.

So your saying that there are no porn sites on the web?

No, I'm definitely siding with Una on this one. Old fashioned media would have a casting couch, to an extent. But digital media is just a load of over-caffeinated bald (or hairy) men.

cooking, on the other hand, impresses women. For instance, no one's ever kissed me on the basis of a really neat piece of HTML. A good prawn curry, on the other hand...

What's the recipe for a good prawn curry?

It's not that I particularly want girls to kiss me, but rather that I like prawn curry. Honestly.

i am so happy with this piece of spam, just perfectly timed to throw me into an abyss of 'oh, i've wasted my life'.
