All jobs are draining though. That's the point I'm making - I'm doing my dream job right now. The work doesn't feel like work, it feels like playing around, and it was even easier my first month or so when most of the work was training. But still, coming home every night I was dead to the world until I adjusted, and even then it's still way more tiring than school ever was.

Of course, I think a lot of people on PC are old enough to have had full time jobs so they know what I'm talking about, and in a few years basically everyone I talk to will be in that boat...so not much to whine about. I guess I'm more saying that I underestimated the drain.

I guess that's moreso what I tried to get at and missed... enjoy your work, make good money, or at least do one of those two. **** shift jobs for **** wages makes your life feel absolutely miserable.

I can't wait to get into my dream career - then I'd truly feel like I've achieved something with my life.
What's your dream career?

@Alex - I see what you're saying now :) We're the lucky ones with enjoyment that lies coincidentally in money-making fields, lol.

Anybody here find Peanuts as unfunny as I do?
Peanuts has humour, but it's not really a comical strip. I love Peanuts because it is heartwarming

Vince Guaraldi's Linus and Lucy really made the cartoon what it was, though. It's a little more etched in people's memories than the strip, I think.

Oh god, I hum Linus and Lucy a lot, especially when I'm bored. It's too catchy.

You should listen to that. It was overplayed a lot in radio so maybe you should listen to this instead

"I only dread one day at a time." - Charlie Brown

Peanuts, I love that strip. It was my favorite growing up, and it's still one of my favorites now.
It's perfect for taking a break from the funny, but soul crushing strips such as Cyanide and Happiness. ;^;

Does anyone here like Dilbert, or Get Fuzzy?

I've noticed that I've been getting a metaphorical football yanked out from under my foot by my mother for a long while...

Peanuts is okay.

Personally, the most I remember was a Halloween Charlie Brown special on a VHS movie ad. VHS ads made up a large portion of my childhood I guess.


It's the great pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

I've never seen one episode of Charlie Brown in my life.

Is episode right? Was it an episode thing? Or is it a comic? What is it?

When it comes to Peanuts, I consider it a newspaper comic. A few other newspaper comics I like are Garfield, Pearls Before Swine (favorite characters are the crocodiles), Dilbert, Red & Rover, and Marvin.

Garfield and Peanuts are both classics and I read them all the time growing up. Probably was a bigger fan of Garfield though.

As much as I like Peanuts though, Christmas Time Is Here is one of the all-time dreariest Christmas songs ever and I'm not that big of a fan.

I remember the younger me always laughing at the teachers' (and adults') voices from the Peanuts specials that were aired on TV every year. From what I read online, those were done with trombones.

Well, Charlie Brown is a dreary fellow.


And, ah, Garfield. Except for laziness and being a cat, I am essentially Garfield. I read so much Garfield as a kid. Still do. I have a lot of Garfield books.

Garfield's owner person being such a loser doormat really bothered me.

Sad Christmas songs give me the feels. :s


I'd really appreciate the holidays so much more around here if it wasn't so force-fed here in the U.S.. Advertisement and musical bombardment kills it for me, and maybe if a carol was something I heard a time or two during my week as opposed to every hour or two I might be more open to the idea of it all, I dunno...

I'd really appreciate if there was a lot more messages without words in the holidays! Using symbolic gestures, nonverbal art, and other abstract methods of expression would make any holiday so much better, as the joy in the decorativity and other things would be brought out of your thoughts on things... then again if people were pushed to rationalize holiday messages the whole thing would collapse on itself, bringing me back to my original qualm. Um, yeah. <_<';

Why would it make you laugh? o_O

I was never a comicbook person. “Archie Comics” brings to mind Team Aqua. Yeah.

it's just so funny that archie, a comic rooted in Traditional Values & the 50s and whatever, had to keep up with the modern generation in such a way

Put Krampus back in Christmas.

Fortunately we have things called DVR and Netflix, so we don't always have to sit and watch every single commercial and listen to every single song. I do find pleasure though in the charities who manage to find all of the old fat white guys with beards and deep voices and sit them inside of every grocery store and say ho ho ho and ring a ling a ding a ling their little bells.

That reminds me of a chunk of writing from George Carlin's It's Bad For Ya about consumerism and consumption. He likened consumption to the new American pastime, throwing baseball under the bus as a goof.
