I know this is probably not the best place for this. But I am a bit tipsy and want to type. I was janitor at KEZI (a ABC affiliate in Eugene Oregon) and gave up and went homeless for a bit. My sister got me a room with her friend for a few months while I found a job in Portland. I had to find a job. I had about 80 in cash so I had to cover job hunting and food with that. Not a easy task. So I stole a paper from a neighbor to look at the job listings. Great.. A temp listing and only a three miles away. So I can walk there. Fuck paying 2.50 for the bus.. That is two totinos. So I am waiting after filling out a application. They basically have you sit there all day and call you if "day labor" is needed. "Labor Ready" if I remember correctly. So I go out for some air and outside there is a weekly employment thing. I flip through and there is a promising ad. It is on 21st and Holgate near Reed College.. Way to far to walk. So fuck it.. I will risk the 2.50 to take the bus there and hope for the best. In my mind I was thinking job I will probably not get or 24 packets of ramen. The job was at Qualex. Basically Kodak. We did all the film possessing in Oregon. And yes.. I got hired. I worked in the digital room. Which was basically turning digital images upright and burning CD's. Processing thousands of images a shift. Calling the police when we hit kiddie porn, processing the images from murder scenes. The cops used us. So many suicide photos. They did not prepare us for this. Yes, suicide with a shotgun is possible. That was my Monday. I was fired because of 9/11. I went to work on 9/11 and there was a note on the time machine spouting shit about "respect" and "mourning" and that we didn't need to come in. Which is bullshit. We didn't need to come in since nobody wanted film developed that day. And a call letting me know before I spent 90 minutes on the bus would have been fab. So the next day it was all cool and during lunch I bitched. Shocker. After I said they didn't have us work because there was no work my card I used to clock in stopped working.
