Today, I Unexpectedly got Paid Double!


Today in unexpected happenings at work: Somebody took a dump in a bucket. The poo pit flooded and is now a poo pond. I stood in quicksand, but it fortunately didn't go much deeper than the top of my foot and I was wearing gumboots (Wellingtons), so easily pulled my foot out. I finally stumped up the courage to ask my boss for a 10% raise, which I have been meaning to do since November (when the fuel price went up). She paid me double and said she'd discuss future payments with the co-owner of the business.

I again forgot to take my phone with me, so there are no photos of the big beasts that could have knocked me flying but were docile and sweet, nor of the surprisingly sour bramble berries I picked and ate. (The black ones are sweet, but the immature red ones are sour.)

Great White Snark
Great White Snark

I'm currently seeking fixed employment as a S/W & Web developer (C# & ASP .NET MVC, PHP 8+, Python 3), hoping to stash the farmed fiat and go full Crypto, quit the 07:30-18:00 grind. Unsigned music producer; snarky; white; balding; smashes Patriarchy.

The Snark Returns: Random Musings from The GWS

SW/Web developer: ~12 years of C# (yay!) & ASP .Net MVC, Java (blargh!), Python (woot!) experience. I'm currently hitting faucets and writing for crypto to stake/invest . | I work part-time with animals. Sadly, my cerebellum and medulla oblongata aren't Einsteinian in proportion. However, I possess a Brobdingnagian vocabulary and get by with being a barbigerous logophile. I can probably write you into bed, if smashing Capitalism and Patriarchy turns you on. Kink is political!
