A Month of Boring Things - Day Six: Tertiary Sector of the Economy

If somebody asks you what you do for a living and your response includes any of the following terms--access, solutions, systems (or systems management), data services, development, systems integration, business processes, expeditionary technology solutions, usability research, information assurance and network securities--there's a greater than zero chance the person you're speaking to has zoned out. Whereas miners have to fear a life cut short by black lung or explosions, your biggest on-the-job threat are Sonic breakfast burritos and the Awesome Blossom you have for lunch. Hey, pal. It could be worse. You could work in the Quarternary Sector, which often feels like winning first-place in a shit eating competition.

Good shit, RKt. It's fascinating to see you reading the New Yorker (much less a Noah Baumbach piece) since the name change! Now read this.

Here's a link only Chris will care about.

Chris said...

Man, I wish I had the money to go to the first game in the new stadium.

Walter Benjamin and the Mechanical Reproductions (the band) said...

@ Chris
Aren't the cheap seats like $33?

Chris said...

Well, you can't buy single game tickets to a Cowboys game. At least, not from the Cowboys. All the tickets for games are sold as season tickets.

But I think the cheapest are around $60/game with no seat option. You want to buy the rights to a seat, for whatever period of time they've set, then you're dishing out thousands for the option.

Viking Andrew said...

Well, you could potential sit outside the stadium on its massive veranda-ish type area (the games are broadcast on massive screens outside the stadium for those tailgating), but the bitch of it is, they only serve Miller. Fucking Miller.

Chris said...

Yeah, that's a bitch. But the fact you can tailgate and watch the games on big screens outside the stadium is pretty awesome.
