This sort of thing is why I could never hirer a whore.  Forget that Julia Roberts/Leaving Los Vegas nice girl making spare change bullshit.  It's always tied into white slavery, heroin addiction, organized crime, etc. And even if you get away with it sooner or later the cops will bust them and then your name turns up as a John, or you get AIDS or herpes, or the pimp decides to murder you just for fun.

Or maybe I'm just paranoid.

And one amusing news story about the road hazards you get in Florida.

Work begins tonight. 

In the past, long before I had this blog outlet, I have groused bitterly about the idiocy and annoyances of my part time job at the stadium. The lucky people I knew in real life, and on ICQ were the winners in the "hear Flux bitch" contest.  But in those cases, I could say anything at all and have zero worries about it getting back to my bosses.

I often had the most amazingly stupid things happen, mostly due to the drunken fools who go to baseball/football games, but also the amazing amount of less than skillful adults who worked at the stadium with me.

I'm sure this year will bring no changes whatsoever to those issues, and would generate no end of amusing dissections on this blog.  However I must try and learn the lesson that Dooce has to teach us all.  Namely that she got fired for writing about some of the dumb stuff at her work on her blog.

I wouldn't really mind being fired, being as I hate the job and skip as many days as I possibly can.  The problem is that it's not a real job, and I don't get paid if I don't work.  So I try to work the weekends and other times when it'll be more profitable (pay is on commission) and then don't work Tuesday night when the Expos or Phillies are in town.

Of course this just compounds things, since you have to work like 85 events a year to qualify for vacation pay and sick pay and health coverage, and if you do work that many days, you can count your vacation days towards your days worked next year.  It's hardly fair, but for several years I worked like 70 events, but since I had 20 vacation days, that would push me up to 90 days worked, and enable me to get my 20 vacation days for the next year.

Unfortunately once I got some internet income from website work the last couple of years, that gave me sufficient incentive to blow off even more work, and fall well below the vacation day paradise.  It also gave me substantially less legit income that I could have used to cheat more on my Section C freelance income.  Not that I ever considered such a thing. *cough*

Anyway, as I'm really not wanting to do all of the freelance web design and maintenance I did in past years, and I'm nearly broke from taxes, it looks like the stadium work will be my lot in life.  And when you have but one lot, you try not to shit in it with excessively virulent blogging.  Cause if I got fired from there I'd have to you know, get a real job.  Or something.
