9 to 5 by Dolly Parton

Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawnin', stretchin', try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the streets the traffic starts jumpin'
And folks like me on the job from nine to five
Chorus:

Workin' nine to five
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

Nine to five, for service and devotion
You would think that I
Would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
Mmmmm...

They let your dream
Just a' watch 'em shatter
You're just a step
On the boss man's ladder
But you got dreams he'll never take away

In the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
And the tide's gonna turn
And it's all gonna roll your way

2nd Chorus:

Workin' nine to five
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

Nine to five, yeah
They got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you think about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Puttin' money in his wallet

3rd Chorus:

Nine to five
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use you mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

Fade:

Nine to five, yeah
They got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you dream about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Puttin' money in his wallet

My top matches for career choices, according to careercruising.com:

1. Anthropologist

2. Human Resources Specialist

3. Criminologist

4. ESL Teacher

5. Critic

6. Mediator

7. Writer

8. Industrial-Organizational Psychologist

9. Editor

10. Computer Trainer

Most of those are appealing choices, especially those related to literary endeavors. What kind of surprised me is that the occupations I trained for- historian, archivism, curatorial- were not even in my top-40 on the match list.

jenks - 09/18/07 20:14
how did you do the test? I have to be a school or something to even get a free trial, it seems...

jenks - 09/18/07 20:11
bahaha... my mom loves to tell the story about how she took that test once, and was told she should be a prison warden or an IRS auditor. Guess she didn't answer too "nicely" on the warm and fuzzy questions.

james - 09/18/07 10:00
I took that test to. Out of the top 15 I would consider doing five and had experience doing two of that five. Three recommendations? My white-out sniffing high school guidance counselor did better than that.

lizabeth - 09/18/07 05:05
Ooh, I just did this! What I am actually trained to do (but not doing) did make it into my top 40, but what I am (in theory) now training to do did not show up at all (probably because I answered ambivalently on the "serving customers/patients" question).

Some really bizarre things did come up, tho'.

My top 10:
1. Special Effects Technician
2. Power Plant Operator (WTF???)
3. Industrial Designer
4. Costume Designer
5. Interior Designer
6. Electronics Assembler (Ouch.)
7. Animator
8. Fashion Designer
9. Model Maker
10. Gunsmith (Again, WTF?? I have never even fired a gun, unless you count water pistols or Nintendo controllers!)

Very strange, indeed.

I feel scared and alone tonight, and I don't really have a reason to be.

If we could only beam you a hot steaming mug of cocoa..

ladycroft - 09/10/07 03:14

theecarey - 09/10/07 01:24

New World Records moving
Category: buffalo

It is wierd to think of both New World Records and Home of the Hits moved off Elmwood now. They both seemed like an important part of the neighborhood. I used to walk all the time to New World just to browse around, and then I would stop into Spot for coffee. Maybe the change will end up working out well, though. Spot can expand its business.

I really miss Spot. I haven't found any coffee places like that here, yet.

metalpeter - 08/28/07 19:15
Glad someone posted about this I meant to. I found out they where moving through myspace a couple days before the buffalonews article. From what I have heard so they can have a bigger better store and go to a location that they think is better for the future (Delaware near Hertel) is why they are moving. Sometimes moving locations can kill a business I hope it doesn't in this case. But sometimes it can make it thrive. I'm kinda mixed on if it leaving is good or bad, hope things work out well for them and that it makes the store better.

jenks - 08/28/07 15:58
wtf?! why are they moving?! That sucks!

jason - 08/28/07 14:30
Err, well, actually, I prefer a Talking Leaves to another bougie dinner joint. That says something.

jason - 08/28/07 14:29
Fuck Talking Leaves!

james - 08/28/07 12:32
Well, do I have a coffee joint for you.

First off, let me say I abhor all coffee houses with names with the word 'ground' or 'grind' in them. I am sure it was novel once, but now every place is "THe Daily Grind" or the like.

But on Western Ave there is Uncommon Grounds which is delicious. They have a few brews of coffee, a ton of teas, delicious bagels, and the best lox in town. Best of all it is right behind UA so you are near by.

joshua - 08/28/07 12:13
Too bad Talking Leaves is up the street - they would be better served moving into NWR's current location. If I can't have my independent record store give me an independent book store!

hodown - 08/28/07 11:05
Noooooooooooooo. I love that store :(

jason - 08/28/07 09:05
Oh, man. New World Record is leaving. This is the first time I am truly heartbroken over happenings on the street. I can't even begin to imagine what bullshit is going to be in its place. Let the yuppie-ization of Elmwood move forward!

I'm going to see Elvis Costello and Bob Dylan play together on October 9th!! Aaron's taking some time off work for the weekend and is coming up here to go with me. He actually bought the tickets as an early Hannukah/Christmas present for me. I'm so excited- they are both two of my favorite artists. I haven't been to a concert (other than a couple local bands) for years.

I hope you guys will have fun today... it seems like there's a lot of cool stuff going on in Buffalo.
