After seeing fallens tatoos I figured there are a lot of people here who have had bizaar jobs. I worked for a (really great) sculptor once. He made some whacky shit. I helped alot with the first but not the second.
(ps. man, am i bored today. i think i can feel my brain shrinking. why am i even posting this? i must be nearing the bottom.)

Is that real gum and if so.....I don't want to know.
For three days I had the fun task of removing metal casters from a restaurants chairs and replacing them with plastic ones.
I'm bored, too. |

It's a wooden ghost in galoshes!
the bkg of the first picture reminds me of an old fishing shack...was he a drunkard fisherman? If so, he probably had a lot of time to dive into those strange ideas out at sea...THAT would be boring...

Waldo, thanks for the sympathy. It was part of my job to figure out how we were going get all that gum in a chewed state. I was trying to devise a mechine. I came to his studio one day and it was done. All 3desks. I didn't ask either.
Round, that's too funny.
Panda, no, although he was from alaska.

how many packs of gum would that have taken?
Assuming he did manually chew all of it.
Did he have problems with flys buzzing all around the sculpture? I'm sure they'd love all that free gum....because...they're.....flys
(edit)is fly "flies" or "flys" plural....hrm

My job.... You know, I can't think of a single thing to say about it, except that it...sucks. Sorry to leave you hanging, but it really does defy description. It's #1 on Mr. Shitty's Completely Indescribable list. (Not a good thing.) It eats up lots of time, but nothing ever gets done. Anyone seen that movie, Office Space? My co-workers could've come right out of it, except they all smoke pot. Whee.
Yeah...I need a new job. |
