The real world's not all bad. I get two weeks paid off. Sometimes working for academia doesn't suck completely.

I work in higher education and would only get the 24th off if i didn't take vacation.

You don't even deserve those two days off.

For the last time, it was an accident! How was I supposed to know?

If you don't know I'm not going to tell you.

This is soooo typical!! ARGH! Why can't you just let me in? I've seen every curve of your body, but you won't let me touch your heart or your soul.
What are you hiding?

head home on the 17th classes resume on the 17th of January. But I get to work at a grocery store over break so I can spoil my self and drink better beer quality at least. The work part still sucks ass.

Indeed...


Some people say a man is made out of mud

Well a poor man's made outta muscle and blood

Muscle and blood and skin and bone

And a mind that's weak

But a back thats strong


And he was born one morning when the sun didn't shine

He picked up his shovel and he went to the mines

He loaded 16 tons of that number 9 coal... Til

the Straw boss said Well-uh b-less my soul !


You load 16 tons and whaddaya get ?

Another day older and deeper in dept

Saint Peter don'tcha call me

'Cause I can't go...

I owe my soul to the Company

Store


So if you see him coming...

You better step aside

A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died

He's got one fist of iron, and the other of steel...

And if the right one doesn't get you

Then the night one will


You load 16 tons and whaddaya get ?

Another day older and deeper in dept

Saint Peter don'tcha call me

'Cause I can't go...

I owe my soul to the Company

Store
