what is the difference between chow mein and lo mein?

i don't like going to work.

the actual physical process of leaving my place and going to work is hell.

being out of work or at work is fine. i'm cool with that. it's just the transition phase.
it's a metaphor for life.

my boss told me the story about how he's going to trade in his volkswagen in 2 years cuz the guy told that sold it to him told him that when 3 out of the 4 years are up on the lease to come in and they'll "talk numbers." i heard it three times last night. i can't even remember how many times he told me that story this week.
he tells the same stories over and over.
and he sucks at telling a story.
oh, and never mind the story about how he got honorably discharged from the navy for having (and this is a quote) "homosexual encounters while on shore leave." that one nevers gets old.
plus, we have to listen to dave matthews at least 10458% percent of the time that we are there. i like dave, but i'm getting sick of it.

i hate going to work.

the only things that keep me sane are the paycheck (which ain't much) and jake. jake is my coworker that lived the 60s and 70s. saw the zeppelin concert where they played stairway for the first time. moved to the bahamas at 20 with $300 cuz he was bored with philly. has seen every movie known to man. and can dish some funny oneliners. if he wasn't there and i just had to work with my boss, i would be in jail for homocide.
maybe.
i don't know if they would convict me or not.
we listened to the same dave matthews bootleg 4 days in a row.

i hate going to work.

i think we should only work 2 days a week and have a 5 day weekend. this guy i met last night, david from germany, thinks the same. he's here from cologne to do research for the chem eng department here at wpi. he's a cool guy. he gets the thumbs up. i think he has the same social philosophy that i do, so that's refreshing that the revolution will take place in europe as well.
but, seriously. we should only have a 2 day work week. that would be super sweet.

oh well, it's my weekend now. so enough bitching.

i'll just fall asleep to led zeppelin II.
