Quote of the Week:

"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."

"But we will all be taken down with it."

I don't get it
Why do we have to put "-ally pleasing" at the and of "aesthetic" every time we say "aesthetic." "Aesthetic" can exist on its own without being "-ally pleasing."

Also

I don't understand how people get "office jobs" or what one does in an "office job." I don't even really know what an "office" is. I mean, I know what a doctor's "office" is, I've seen those. And I know what a principals "office" is, I've scene those too. And I've been to the financial aid "office." And I think I know what a law "office." Those all make sense; I know what goes on inside. But what happens inside an "office." Like the ones with all the cubicles and the telephones and the computers and filing cabinets and post-it notes. How does everyone know what they're supposed to be doing? Could you just sit there all day pretending to be doing a job that doesn't really exist? Could I get a job like that? And how do you get a job in a cubicle? Do you apply somewhere and when they ask what your experience is, you tell them you're really good at sitting at a desk in a box without windows? Is there a particular skill you have to learn to be an office worker? Or is there something you study in college to be an office worker. Like, accounting? but offices aren't filled with accounting majors. there are other majors too? Is that what business majors do? I always thought business majors went out into the wild frontier of Entrepreneur, no the confined city of Cubicle. So who is sitting behind all the desks getting carpal tunnel? People who didn't like their old jobs? Like teachers who hate the system or acrobats with vertigo? But an office job isn't better, is it? That aside, I still can't figure out what office workers do. is it like being in a factory except with computers instead of large stamping presses? Ok, enough rambling, I'm late for an interview.
