Coal miners. Cab drivers. Undercover cops. Bloggers. These are dangerous jobs but someone has to do them.

Far be it from me to disabuse my fellow victims in this new class of exploitation, but …. no, actually, it’s incumbent upon me to do so.

.
This is refreshing. Just say NO to victimhood, and do what you love.

Ever since blogs with ?ersonal comments came about, my right ?inky has been getting more ?ainful. That’s most ?robably because it stretches out to reach the letter “?ee” in the u??er right corner of the keyboard.

So I’ve decided to cease ty?ing with the letter “?ee” when ?osting re?lies. Ho?efully, this will s?are me from car?al ?inky sydrome.

My health actually has gotten worse but it’s only tangentially related to blogging.

Agreed, and getting your priorities in order is a big stress reducer too.

Work in commission sales and know that you can’t feed your family unless you can convince others to part with their money for products you yourself wouldn’t buy on a bet.

Good Christ, did you do that???!
Glad to hear you love your job, nothing better!

OSHA regulation of blogging might make for a humorous thread – if it weren’t so very possible.

What you bloggers need is a union. I’ll be glad to represent you. No one will be more effective than me when it comes to negotiating for better working conditions. Serving as your union president, you can rest assured that I have your best interests in mind. All you have to do is forward your union dues to my PayPal account.

My collie says:

Michelle Malkin called.

Let me guess. She’s witholding the coins and liquor that she rolls down the stairs to AllahPundit?

My collie says:

Yes, but no matter — AP already sent in his union dues.

Sweet!

Heck, If I could earn my daily bread trekking around the internet and then writing pithy things about it I’d do it in a minute, but since nobody seems keen to pay me to do that, I guess I’ll just have go back to teaching groups of 35+ ninth graders several times a day.

Try managing a staff of 45 in a 24/7 call center. Try walking a beat as a cop in any major city. Drive a cab on the night shift. Serve food to grouchy patrons at a greasy spoon.

Coal miners. Cab drivers. Undercover cops. Bloggers. These are dangerous jobs but someone has to do them.

How about being a Soldier? Or the boredom and hard, often greasey, work of manufacturing gadgets?

What once was reserved for conditions where folks are physically forced to work until they sweat, under inhumane conditions, for little to no pay – now means conditions people choose to endure themselves because they can’t figure out a better way to do their job.

The dumbing and watering down of the English language continues.

Exactly, like the exploitation of the feudal activities/treatment of illegal manual labor, with the silent approval of the commerce departments, and politicians from both sides of the isle.
