A Year in Pictures of Working. Another year, another dollar. Sunday, August 05, 2007. The 1900s played at noon, so they didn't have a huge crowd. Ed (Marketing Assistant), the lead singer, opened by saying, "Is everyone here from Chicago? No one else has heard of us." It was a great show, though, and the crowd grew as their set went on. Later I caught up with Jeanine about what things were like behind the scenes. Posted by Arnie : 11:45 PM. That groupie story is CRAZY. 4:07 PM, August 08, 2007.

A Year in Pictures of Working. Another year, another dollar. Thursday, August 02, 2007. Job #12: Texas Instruments Clean Room (cont.). I was hoping to just slip out on my last day working in the clean room, but the shift manager decided to get ice cream and have a small going away party in the break room. I'm not sure why exactly. I hadn't worked there that long, and I mostly kept to myself. Maybe it was just a good excuse to be out of our bunny suits and face masks. Posted by Arnie : 10:16 PM. From outs...

A Year in Pictures of Working. Another year, another dollar. Monday, July 30, 2007. I was recently interviewed for a Chicago suburbs magazine called 'Beep.' The reporter did a web search for "long distance Chicago" and my blog(s) came up. It's an article about long distance relationships with a few blurbs thrown in from me. Sarah: You are now the official spokesperson for our relationship. I haven't heard back from her. The 'Beep' article refers to me as having been "devastated" at one point and "finding...

A Year in Pictures of Working. Another year, another dollar. Wednesday, August 01, 2007. The area around the office is pretty sketchy, but also poised for massive gentrification. Construction everywhere. A Whole Foods is being built across the street from the strip club. Giant billboards advertise the coming of something, I think condos, called SoNo. ("SoNot Vanilla! I sometimes wonder if this means Jellyvision will eventually be pushed out of the area with everyone else. Posted by Arnie : 7:41 PM.

A Year in Pictures of Working. Another year, another dollar. Tuesday, July 31, 2007. Finally got around to using my work insurance to get a physical. Doctor: According to the Weight/Height chart, you are. [traces finger along line]. "obese.". The doctor then went on to explain how our bodies are elaborate chemistry sets and how office lifestyle is very contrary to what our bodies were designed for. Then again, I've been living the office lifestyle for years, even when I wasn't working in an office. View ...

A Year in Pictures of Working: August 2006

http://ayearofworking.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html

A Year in Pictures of Working. Another year, another dollar. Thursday, August 31, 2006. I sat down today and wrote out a list of all the jobs I've had. Put together, it makes for a largely aimless and unimpressive job path. Less than a year ago I was hanging out in malls, dressed in a giant ear costume. I still get e-mails asking if I want to pick up more shifts as a giant ear. Posted by Arnie : 10:19 AM 5 comments. Links to this post. Wednesday, August 30, 2006.

A Year in Pictures of Working. Another year, another dollar. Friday, August 03, 2007. Sometimes we talk about having a special Business Attire Day. Instead of coming to work in jeans or shorts, we'd all wear suits and ties and carry briefcases. Meyers: We could all give fake power point presentations! Evan: I think we'd all be so busy pretending to do business that we wouldn't get any work done. It's a luxury to feel that way, that playing at office would be a fun lark. Posted by Arnie : 3:46 PM.

A Year in Pictures of Working. Another year, another dollar. Thursday, May 31, 2007. The Jellyvision softball team decided to have lunch at What's the Beef, because that's where they ate two weeks ago when they won. The superstitions have begun. Michelle: I wore the same socks. Due to rain, their game against the undefeated team Cleats First was canceled. Poland: Well, I consider that a victory. Meyer: We didn't lose! Posted by Arnie : 7:35 PM 0 comments.

A Year in Pictures of Working. Another year, another dollar. Monday, April 30, 2007. In what little free time he has between being a lawyer and being a father, Hansen likes to beta test on-line video game worlds (MMORPGs). Hansen: I like to beta test them so I can play for free. I wouldn't pay to play them. Last night at Martin's birthday party he was telling me about testing an on-line Star Wars game a few years back. Posted by Arnie : 2:27 PM 4 comments.
