How do I feel about your workplace?

It's nice. It could use some color.

If I were you, I'd lynch the person responsible for the flavored coffee. Coffee is a flavor.

Say what?

Hi Cdog.

Welcome back.

I almost said the prayer breakfast.

Gotta love attending a Baptist College. Not even sure if they have a prayer breakfast, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

So the fact that you don't have to attend and I do was my vote. I'm sure you've had about all you can stomach. I'm paying my dues now, got any tips?

Please? Anything? Help?

Let's put it this way: We always have a goat to spit for the barbeque. And we barbeque three times a day.

lucky: <puts on suit and long schooldress and knocks on your door> Have you tried accepting Lord High Satan into your life?

Honestly though, I'd wear a celtic necklace. I wore the triple goddess symbol to a church group I got roped into (long story and for those playing the guess Lucifer's religion game, I'm not Celtic either, only Irish) and only one person noticed it and she had no clue what it meant. Overall good fun.

Anyway, don't let the horde of Christians get you down, you can always blast Cradle of Filth in your dorm room.

It’s great. I teach at an inner city college that’s right under the El tracks in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood hard by the Lake: Viet Namese, Hispanic, Chinese, Thai, African, & Appalachian Wino. I can walk a block and get burritos or pork buns or that Viet Namese noodle stew that comes in a humungous bowl, stand outside and see bums cadging for spare change, Nigerian cab drivers, surly gang-bangers, and Thai Buddhist monks in orange robes and shaved heads. There’s a bar down the street (The Green Mill) where they have open-mike poetry slams.

I have 30 kids in my class and they’re all hungry to learn, with that earnest inner city hunger to improve themselves you find in people taking night classes, as opposed to that sub-suburban whining and work-dodging I got at the last school I taught at.

It’s like being a beatnik all over again. Should be a great term. Now if only they paid me decently.

As of today, I have three workplaces.

* One is the college I attend. It's pretty cool. The place is actually newly build so the restrooms are spotless. Moreso, the library there is a marvel of reader-friendly architecture. And there are loads of visual entertainment in form of pretty little college students. If you get tired of that, you just have to take the elevator to the top floor balconies. The whole complex is on top of a hill, and below, the 40 kilometer valley stretching from your feet to the center of Stockholm is an inspiring sight.

* The other is the computer testing lab at a major tech magazine. Paradise if you're a geek. I'm not that much a geek though. But we have an unlimited supply of free Coke and coffee.

* The last one is my study at home. I have a nice view from my balcony, a comfy sofa, and homemade blackberry lemonade in the fridge. You are most welcome.

Dues? Who told you there were dues? I can't believe they're still running that old scam.

Do not pay. If you do, demand a receipt.

The weather is lovely this afternoon. We always have our prettiest days right before a big-a** mo*h*rf**kin* hurrica*e. The weatherboys are advising us to eat our frozen and refrigerated food, so I'd better get to work on that pack of Starbucks Lowfat Frozen Mocha Frappucino bars.

I like #3. On the other hand, "Paradise if you're a geek" is a good slogan.

So that's where the missing persons in my family tree ended up.

That sounds fabulous, Doctor M. Is there a lot of resentment towards the Vietnamese kids for making straight A's?

I clean the restrooms where I work.

I clean the restrooms where I work.

Thank you. Nobody cleaned them where I worked, until I worked at home.

I get to blow shit up. That's got a value all it's own.

The only Prayer Breakfasts that we have are when we order something from the all night chicken wing joint across the street. We then pray that we don’t contract E. coli.

The staff toilets, for the most part, are not infectious.

Most of the lights are low, the music is loud, and the dress code is . . . er . . . variable.
