Unemployment Journal VI: Sucking Badly (E-Bitch's Continuing Odyssey of Personal Non-Actualization)
Posted Wed Feb 21 00:07:26 2001 by ebitch

By ebitch

dear unemployment journal,

when i woke up, i stretched out my arms and proclaimed, out loud, "today, i will get my period."

and i did!

i had prepared by adorning the necessary feminine hygiene item, in the "super" size, since i knew it was coming and did not want to destroy my 340-thread, egyptian cotton sheets that cost more than i will earn in a single week of unemployment.

already, only twenty minutes into my menses, my discomfort is intense. why is that? usually the pain doesn't begin until day two.

possible reasons:

(1) not exercising enough
(2) not taking my vitamins enough, particularly the chelated iron
(3) not eating well, 'well' meaning leafy green vegetables and non-cheese protein and in regular intervals, as opposed to the constant ingestion of cheese, pretzels, burritos and espresso
(4) stress - from unemployment, my mother, the dreary weather,and the knowledge my therapist is moving to florida in april
(5) not having enough sex, or any sex, or really just sex with _other_ people

now i have to go to queens.

the triumphant burrito

before, i knew in advance i should not call the burrito man given my menstrual disposition because of his inability to understand the word "court," as "court" is the name of my street and in order to have the burrito brought to me, he must have knowledge of my specific location.

from therapy i know this is a _negative prediction into the future_, yet i can not ignore the very likely outcome of calling the burrito man in my condition. therefore i delegated the call to a friend, who conveyed the order successfully.

from memory, i requested the _baja_, a smaller version of the outrageous california. it comes with two fillings: i chose spinach and mushrooms.

unfortunately, when the burrito arrived, i was not hungry because i was suffering with my feminine predicament. i ate some of it, but spent about twenty minutes whining in the fetal position. my friend, who was wearing a light blue skater hat, went outside to buy me some relief. she took a five from my wallet and returned minutes later and announced that she had a huge bottle of ibuprofen in the bathroom and had forgotten about it. she purchased two, fifty-cent packages of advil. she kept the five. where is that five? i will bill her via pay pal.

the thought of going to queens for a tea party thrown by a former co-worker is not appealing at this moment. i wish to see this former co-worker, but the combination of pain and queens makes me blue.

i took three advil, six-hundred (600) milligrams in total, and waited for relief.

the job hunt: sucking mightily

i tried to remain calm this week, even though there has been no interest in my resume. i worked a few days as a freelance proofreader last week, which was nice, but why isn't anybody responding to my resume? what's going on? is there something wrong with me? damn it's an eerie sort of quiet out there, so different from the instant uptake i experienced last year at this time.

what it means

i think the universe may be prompting me to change direction.

coffee impact

unemployment is having a dramatic impact on my diet and coffee habits. whereas before i was laid off i went to starbucks two or three times daily, i only visit two or three times weekly. why is that?

it's really not even about money, although i do worry about dropping three dollars and fifty-seven cents on a double-short latte. sometimes, i just like my own coffee, which is from starbucks anyway.

since i have time now to brew my own pot of petrol, why not? i have a fierce coffee machine that i was lucky enough to take with me when my five-year relationship ended in the spring even though i moved out in the summer. this reminds me, i have to get my engraver back.

ebitch, why do you need the engraver back? and why do you own one, anyway?

i need the engraver because i'm buying a traditional red wagon and intend to use it to do my neighborhood thing. i will lock it to lamp posts but in the event someone takes it, i wish it to be easily identified.

i got an engraver when i was in cooking school because i had some very good knives and didn't want anyone walking off with, or even touching, my nice knives.

ebitch, have you thought of cooking?

well, of course, you big ass-clown.

cooking is an excellent skill to have, it makes me a great catch, but it is not a career path for a woman of my style and temperament. the only way i wish to experience professional cooking is at a table at a restaurant in which professional cooking occurs.

Bob - no offense taken.

MagicalPussyFrenzy - Maybe you should see a professional about all that aggression you've got pent up there. There are meds for that.

Kisses to you, ebitch! I love your diary - possibly because, as you know, we are sisters in e-unemployment, but more likely because you're a good writer and you crack my shit up constantly.

In that case, piss off, kitten! I nominate you also for the proposed CRAP award. Just like eric, you can easily skip MB/EB's writing if you don't like it.

If it isn't obvious by now, quite a bit of us like her writing, and find it a welcome break from the norm.

Lala, I wasn't trying to be rude. I hope you didn't take it that way.

Comment: I wasn't talking to lala, I was talking to you. Let me go see if your latest installment is less inane and weepy and pathetic (prying open mind with axe handle). HERE IS MY ARTICLE: I LOST MY JOB I HAD TO POOP A LOT AND USED LOTS OF TOILET PAPER AND I DONT DRINK AS MUCH COFFEE AS I WANT FROM STARBUCKS - NOT BECAUSE OF MONEY, DON'T THINK I'M ONE OF THOSE WORTHLESS FUCKING POOR PEOPLE - BUT BECAUSE I HAVE A PLATINUM PLATED COFFEE MAKER THAT I GOT WHEN I SPLIT UP WITH MY BOYFRIEND WHO LOOKS LIKE AARON CARTER! (I STILL WANT MY DIAMOND TUMBLER BACK!) LOOK I CAN USE THE PHRASE "ASS-CLOWN" BECAUSE I AM FUNNY AND HIP, MY ARTICLE IS ALSO "RAD".

Can I use paypal to send you money to be sterilized.

Comment: I quite enjoy this column, I find the boring, drab details of other people's lives entertaining, interesting. (The details of mine are just drab and grey) About the only time I don't want to hear it is in the car... in traffic. Or just about any other place where I cannot escape. Keep on with it!

Comment: Oh, while I'm here, I'd like to nominate eric for the Censorship-Related Activist/Partisan award.

Bill, Steve, would you guys be so kind as to sponsor it? CRAP would bookend nicely with the STFU award, and whether or not readers love or hate this column, I think everyone who reads it (with one possible exception) would agree that eric exceeds the wildest expectations of CRAP, and in fact, many feel he is simply brimming with the spirit of CRAP, and embodies all that CRAP stands for.

Thanks

Comment: Gotta go with the frostbitten kitten (somewhat, not the tone) on this one, Lala. Glad you want to talk to MB/EB, but she has her own message board on her personal site and several email accounts to choose from that would be more appropriate for direct person-to-person messages.

Comment: ebitch, the story runs tomorrow. and it just annoys me to no end when other people think they can decide what i watch/listen to/read simply because they have a problem with it. that's all.

also, did you see there's gonna be a "the sims: house party" expansion? you can create djs and design raves or whatever. i don't know, maybe you can do that now (i haven't played it that much), but it sounded cool.

Comment: my point is still the same. "rolling stone" is filled with stories that have nothing to do with music. "music television" has shows that have nothing to do with music. you know what i do when i come across a story in "rolling stone" that i don't want to read, or an mtv show i don't want to watch? i skip them! netslaves.com has material that has nothing to do with the hi-tech world. what's your point? tell me, do you write letters to "rolling stone" demanding they remove their stories on politics? do you call mtv asking that it please remove "the real world"? i happen to enjoy ebitch's writing. and even if i didn't, i think i'd have a lot better things to spout off about.

Your logic says that cops who hunt-down child-molesters must 'in truth' like them because they spend so much time thinking about them. Not very intelligent, ebitch.
No, I complain here only about your mindless babble, and I am sending an e-mail to info@netslaves.com about removing you. Simple as that. Bye.

Comment: you _are_ obsessed. you can't stay away! you have designated yourself editor and chief police officer of what belongs on netslaves? i'm sure bill and steve will appreciate the help and will feel flattered by your vote of confidence in their ability to run things.

is this your new hobby, eric? campaigning against a column on netslaves? i love the comparison of my column to tv violence and bank congestion. so similar! don't let them watch the shows, and go to another bank. similarly, don't read my column. you can't stop yourself though! you will read my next, and my next, and my next after that. you will show it to your humorless friends and so on. this is all free publicity, which bill and steve will very much appreciate.

what's your big contribution to the high tech world, eric (thank you for signing your name - now how about being a real man and giving up a real email address?)? what do you do that's so amazing, helpful, creative?

enjoy your obsession and feel free to make peace with me and my column any time. admit it: you like it.

Comment: I guess we shouldn't complain if our kids TV shows have too much violence, or our bank has 1 teller for 25 people in line. I complain because your drivel is completely out of place with this site. Go write about maxipads in Cosmo or Oxygen. Go write about the two different spellings of grey in in some self-awareness group. But just because you are in the hi-tech world, doesn't allow you to write about ordering burritos in a forum which is supposed to be about the problems existing in the hi-tech world. This is not the proper forum.
I don't talk to me about being against light-hearted stories Emily's last story about fear in the workplace was excellent: it was light-hearted to the point of being almost self-deprecating and it had a very interesting message pertinent to this forum. It was an excellent read. And it was an article that she had to put some effort, thought, and research into producing. Not just waking up and realizing that she's going to get her period today.
And I'm not 'obsessed' with your 'column' (for lack of a better word)... I'm only interested in getting the powers to-be on this forum to recognize your drivel and remove you from its list of free-lance writers.

Comment: ok, anyone who wants to complain about ebitch's columns has that right, but most of the people who have problems with them seem to be fairly familiar with her writing. so my question is, if you dislike her writing so much, why keep reading? if you know you don't like, say, limp bizkit, do you buy the album anyway, just to make sure? then do you write fred durst and say, "i bought your album, and boy does it suck!" your griping proves two things: 1) that you read her column every week, and 2) that it evokes enough emotion in you that you feel you must respond. granted, the emotion is anger, but how many times a day do you read something that evokes no emotion at all, much less something that makes you want to tell everyone else what you feel? if you don't like her columns, then don't read them. because if i were her, any kind of response, negative or otherwise, would just be more of an incentive to keep writing. all it proves is that people are reading.

3) i must adopt ways of a parasite, lest i also be called a "self-contained unit of life" in derogatory fashion
4) anonymous name-calling is preferable to intelligent discourse in functional society
5) must burn dictionary!

If you are going to criticize someone, please at least grow the stones to put up a bogus name and a Hotmail account. You come across as either your average disgruntled Eminim-lovin' 12 year-old with zits and a worn-out palm, or a chronic loser on Love@aol.com.

As for Starbukcs, hey, I can live without it, but it works as a plot device. If you don't know what a plot device is, try reading some literary criticism and some reading material more complicated than Tiger Beat and Big 'Uns.

As for your chronic diarrhea, eat a block of cheese, have a Coke and a smile, and shut the fuck up.

Cheers. :)

In fact, the first time I met him, he asked me where his award was. So he found it funny, because he joked about it at least one more time since then.

And as far as Mojo Coffee goes, I've defended that too, because it's really good coffee. Amazing coffee, really. I just didn't mention it here because I'm not a coffee drinker. I drink it, but I rather drink tea.

So I'm consistant with my choices across the board. Which is part of the fun of being online.

Comment: Well, there is the fact that chefs are crazy control freaks and if the Food Network told the truth it would be dirtier than Playboy, but that's a different story. If you can't take shit from people, you'd wind up fighting every night.

And I have a solution for your need for coffee. www.mojocoffee.com. You roast the beans in the microwave, which sounds like bullshit, but the coffee is great and I'm a tea person.

I think Starbucks makes shiity coffee and detest it. I usually head over to my nearest PR bakery or restaurant for real coffee. If every Starbucks was vaporized, I'd be happy.

Try mojo and say I sent you. It's Fucked Company approved. Pud likes it too. :-)
