Drive Like Jehu, Review Like Jehu (A Brief Response)

It’s easy to feel like your previous works were a mistake and especially if they were done when you were a different person. Right down to my name and pronouns I’m not the person I was when I came out with a book I edited called Abolish Work, released by Little Black Cart. There are…

Could Work Actually Not Suck Sometimes? - Part 2: Spoilers! It Can’t!

(Part One) The Good It’s hardest to start with the good, so let’s begin there. I’ve had some moments of euphoria with my job where I wonder: Do I really get to work with dogs for a living?! And the answer is yes and that (sometimes) fills me with wonder. These moments are far and…

Could Work Actually Not Suck Sometimes?

Whenever I’d come home from my previous job I’d rip off my shirt as soon as possible. And almost anytime I could take my shirt off before then I’d do that instead. I didn’t want to be associated with the job. One time, a person called me from across the street, “The [Redacted] Guy!” and…

Laziness as Lifestyle

Today after going to bed around 1:45 AM, I woke up around 10:15 and desperately wanted to go back to sleep. I’m preparing for a new job(!) that I’m going to love but it requires waking up in the morning. The job doesn’t start for another week but I want to make sure I can…

The Thankless Life of Workers with Gross Jobs

After reading this article on the New York Times about The Brutal Life of Sanitation Workers and watching Top 10 Most Disgusting Jobs, it got me thinking about why workers who have such gross jobs get such little respect. Whether in their pay, the amount of social recognition and maybe even pride they take in…

Slacking Tips for Work #8: Be Vigilant

Well look at that! It’s almost been two years since the last entry and that was when I working for an even shittier place than I was now. So I guess I’m moving up in the world…kind of? But at any rate, if I had the picture of myself that the company camera caught me…

Tom Hodgkinson’s Misplaced Jubilation

I had other plans for today but then I received an email from the UK magazine The Idler. This isn’t a new phenomenon, or unwanted by any means. I’ve been happily getting their newsletter to keep up with all of their goings on for a few years now. And while Idler doesn’t always have pertinent…

Virtual Work is still Work

Edit: Sorry I’ve been gone for so long! I had some pet-sitting to take care of and my main laptop has been on the fritz. I will get better at posting here when I think there could be long delays in my posts. There’s been different reformist ideas I’ve challenged about how to make work…

Vulnerability and the Anti-Work Position

A while ago I read a very interesting article entitled, Discretion still matters - don’t ruin your career by sharing too much and today upon re-reading it I also checked out an article that it links to about vulnerability in the workplace. As someone who is fairly authentic in terms of my personality (snarky, sarcastic,…

Management Terror Theory

There’s a semi-recent theory in psychology called Terror Management Theory and it concerns how we all try to live with the fact that we’re going to die. It says that in trying to deal with this we build churches, create nationalities to celebrate, busy ourselves with projects (like writing) and enter other worlds through books…
