I worked in a video arcade when it first came out in the 90s and we had a 1-hour VHS tape on a loop that would play music videos and cartoons which got updated once a month. I worked every single day in December (was not legally paid the overtime I was owed, by the way), so I had to listen to that song over and over again once an hour all day every day for a month. And because there were TVs all over the store, it was also almost impossible to not look at the equally awful music video. If you think retail workers now hate it, they can’t possibly hate it with the passion I hate it with or know the pain of why.
I worked in a small office with an evangelical authoritarian supervisor. For a time we had our music libraries on our computers and we were able to play music in our headphones. One morning we came in to find notes on our desks saying headphones were no longer allowed.
It was definitely December because of what was on that horrible little boombox.
This Christian group called Point of Grace had a Christmas album. I heard it over and over and over and over again.
I would probably go catatonic if I heard a single note from that record.
Mariah Carey was actually a relief when I heard it haha.
Fortunately we got our headphones back. My best friend for 20 years now (dayuuum) came up with an idea.
When the supervisor would leave we’d try to play Bela Lugosi Is Dead by Bauhaus juuuuuust slightly out of sync between our computers until everyone got sick of it and complained. We both threatened to quit unless we were allowed to use headphones when we were told “no more music in the office”.
That sounds awful. I don’t think I could ever work for an Evangelical. Not one who insisted on imposing their idea of morality on their employees, which I assume would be virtually all of them. I knew someone who worked for eHarmony, which was run by Dr. Neil Clarke Warren, an Evangelical. I knew him because we would go to atheist social meetups together when I lived in L.A. He hated it, but at the time, unemployment was pretty high, especially in L.A. So he was stuck there. We lost touch, so I don’t know if he still works there, but I hope he’s found something better.
I’ve had some astoundingly shitty bosses, but at least none of them tried to push their Christian bullshit on me.
I’m in Appalachia. If I worked in an adult bookstore my boss would be an evangelical. Haha
Holy rollers, holy rollers everywhere.
Each and every day of my life someone preaches to me. I just smile and carry on.
Had a really weird 81 year old man in my store yesterday. He said, “I was down ‘are at ‘tuh moose lodge with my girlfriend and some feller flirted with her. My buddy said, “now don’t go fightin’ eem. You don’t wanna git in no trouble.” And I told him I didn’t have to fight him. The lord would take care of him. A few weeks later his cayncer came back. Other night my dead wife was laying in the bed holding our baby that died. She asked me to put a blanket on her. I wanted to talk to her but I guess the lord didn’t want me to speak. Not everybody can see spirits. Only a select few people. I’ve seen spirits all my life.”
Part of me is jealous of these folks. They think they’re gonna live forever and trust that everything will work out. Meanwhile I’m worrying about my health and that everything isn’t going to work out. :p
Flashlight, water purifier, respirator, and rifle (I assume with required things like ammo).
Nobody said how this plague spreads, for all we know it’s in the water or Airborne. Flashlight for scavenging and because it’s far more important to know if that’s a pile of scrap or a Zombie than it is to stay super stealthy. And Rifle gets you everything else you need.
To be honest, I think the Cookie Monster just crumbled the cookies and didn’t eat them. Maybe he also hated them personally - like my browser with the current settings.
I mean at this point I imagine that snoop has smoked so much weed that his tolerance has built up to the point where he doesn’t really even get high anymore.
Two man tent,axe. and ideally a boy scouts guide and foraging books. Ideally getting myself far way from civilisation as the zombie population is probably just going grow over time
First aid kit would probably be quite useless you can’t put a plaster on a deep gushing wound nor take glass out with a couple alcohol wipes
