EDITED BY STAFF…. remember, just because it’s on the internet, doesn’t mean that it’s not owned! This entire post was entirely the content of Hyperbole and a Half, which are copyrighted. This is a step above sharing a ‘funny photo’ as it contained many original drawings and writings by the author. If you want to share stuff like this, it’s much better to share a link! That way the author has attribution, and gains web traffic justly deserved…
From the author/artists’ own site, in her words:
Is your work copyrighted? Can I repost it?
…. But please don’t completely repost anything (that’s such a gray area and it has worked out horribly for me in the past)….. I work very hard to create these posts and it hurts my livelihood when my work is reposted without credit…. Plagiarism always hurts the artist.http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/11/dogs-dont-understand-basic-concepts.html

So sorry ’bout that – it had been forwarded to me. I didn’t investigate enough. I feel horrible – I would never do that on purpose.
tdm 🙁

No harm done.
Just so you know, email forwards almost always use content without permission. I once got a forward, sent to me–! — with all of my feather paintings. But they were attributed to another person. I often wonder if that other person got a lot of sales because of my work.
Volunteer mod- I'm here to help! Email me for the best response: nambroth at gmail.com
My art: featherdust.comI need not elaborate on this… LOL
How Would You Describe Your Ideal Job?
Near the end of a job interview for an application programming position which wasn’t going so well, the interviewer asked me one of the typical “Top 10 Interviewing Questions”:
Interviewer: How would you describe your ideal job?
Monkey: (*big grin spreading across my face*) Demolitions!
Interviewer: (*slightly shocked/confused*) Excuse me?
Monkey: I reckon a job in demolitions would be awesome!
Interviewer: ummm…
Monkey: (*leaning forward in my chair, gesticulating emphatically*) You know – waking up every morning, knowing that “today” you were either going to blow something up, or prepare to blow something up! Man! I would be to work early, and working late! I’d TOTALLY be waking up… checking the clock… trying to go back to sleep… checking the alarm again… “15 minutes! It’s only been 15 minutes?!” (*pantomiming shock and re-checking my alarm clock*)
Interviewer: (*speechless w/ mouth agape*)
Monkey: You’d be waking up every morning, knowing that sometime soon… *BOOM!* (*making exploding noises and motions with my hands*) You’d get to utterly destroy something in seconds! Driving those giant tractors around… You know – the ones that load those giant dump trucks with tires bigger than your car? It would be awesome!I’m pretty sure he was expecting a more “typical answer” or something at least slightly similar, but as I said, the interview wasn’t going well, and I thought, “If he doesn’t have a sense of humour, then this is the wrong place for me!”
He didn’t.
It was.tdm
