I think I'm the only person in this tribe that is in Tuscaloosa. Regardless, I work in a call center that does customer satisfaction surveys. It's your basic 'coffee machine is broke and the copier is shitting ink' desk job. I need creative ideas here. Currently I'm making my own revisions of a few office memos. My bordem* will only stretch so far until I do something that gets me caught and fired. Need help. I can only check back once or twice a week. I live in squaller so I have to come to my parents house to use the internet and wash clothes. Anything will help. I'm Glad to be apart of this board or thread or what ever the hell it is.
Thanks,
The Management

Re: Dying in Tuscaloosa
Thu, November 22, 2007 - 8:45 PMHey Sugar ---
Don't die yet. There's still some fun left to be had.
Squaller is the new chic, I hear.
Here's your mission in Tuscalooa.... go find a man named Mitchell Cashion. He lives on Hackberry Lane. Tell him you recently visited France and heard about his work. Ask him very politely to see his paintings. He is quite odd, and his surrealist paintings are extraordinary. He will understand your angst. Go with him into his world view and you will be anything but bored!!! Then report back. -

Re: Dying in Tuscaloosa
Wed, December 19, 2007 - 12:05 PMHere's a little something that I've learned can make a boring day at work far more entertaining. If you and your co-workers can receive mail at work, I suggest you begin mailing them whack shit. For example: a shoe, a floatation device, a half-eaten bag of chips - just make sure it's nothing threatening or dangerous. No boxes or packaging allowed, just stick the labels right on. You can mail a surprising variety of strange objects perfectly legally, you may just get strange looks from the local postal workers. You'll probably need to make up a return address, but as long as something's written there it doesn't matter if it's real. Maybe wear gloves if you think your co-workers are the type to freak out and call the po after receiving a bag of squid shreds in the mail.
Good luck! Holla back with any questions. My friends and I spent an entire summer break in college competing to see who could mail the whackest item without packaging. I won. -

Re: Dying in Tuscaloosa
Sat, December 22, 2007 - 1:23 PMThat is a good idea. I began setting that plan into motion last week. The two girls at the front desk received a small bag of my roommate's dog's hair and a variety of pre-chewed gums. It took me about two hours to gather it all but it was worth it when I was actually lucky enough to be coming out of the bathroom when one of them opened it.

Re: Dying in Tuscaloosa
Sat, May 24, 2008 - 10:56 AMYeah still in Tuscaloosa. Sorry I haven't checked back in a while. The shit finally hit the fan with the job I started the post over and the 'proper channels' got involved. I had to explain to them very thoroughly that if you use computers that are half the age of the upper management they can be very vulnerable. If the whole process can be brought to a screeching halt via a simple DoS attack it's not a very dependable system. After that the phone lines were mysteriously severed the management had the idea to decimate the staff. They casted a wide net to catch the one sturgeon and ended up getting nothing but a smaller boat. For now the work comes from a small gas station. This environment should be quite a bit more interesting.
Fuckin a'. What do you guys do for a living? What' s some crazy shit you've seen or done? It might not sound crazy to you because it's your routine but post that shit. -

Re: Dying in Tuscaloosa
Wed, June 11, 2008 - 9:26 PMSorry to not get back to you sooner, fellow Tuskaloosa Sufferer (well, I'm not in Tuscaloosa now, of course, but I carry the scars). I'm in Birmigham trying to learn how to write great feature articles for an alt-weekly. And no, I haven't written a great one yet. I'm trying to work my up from mediocre, but it keeps me on the streets where I belong. I keep saying that I'm going to get down to Tuskaloosa again sometime and visit some people.

Re: Dying in Tuscaloosa
Sat, June 21, 2008 - 11:56 PMHey! I just joined, and I'm living in Tuscaloosa (although I work in Birmingham). I am trying to organize "street bowling" with some people here... bottles and bowling balls on concrete are a match made in heaven.
I should introduce you to the Tuscaloosa Paranormal Society people, they are pretty wild... come to think of it, a lot of them would enjoy some Discordian fun... -
