"Not everyone has the luxury to go for the job they want and abandon the job they have now even if it sucks.”
Artificial intelligence is coming for us all, but, as of today, some people are still working and a subset of them hate their jobs. Marketing managers, IT folk, customer service representatives, HVAC bros etc. The very famous actress Emily Blunt, who is currently appearing in The Devil Wears Prada 2, and, by all appearances does not hate her job, recently appeared on the YouTube program Betches to promote the aforementioned film, was asked what women who hate their jobs should do.
“Quit…” she initially said under her breath before expanding on the idea. “Just find something that you deeply want to do. Even if you’re earning no money, as long as you love it, you’ll be happy.”
In a word, or two, begin practicing surf journalism.
Job hating women were not pleased with the suggestion and flooded the YouTube comments to call Blunt “entitled.”
A sampling:
“Emily Blunt really should know better than being this tone deaf. Can rich celebrities earning millions please stop preaching to the rest of us about how unimportant money is. It’s insulting.”
“Genuinely terrible advice in the current job market but I would love to be this delusional and out of touch with reality.”
“That can only be said by an (over)privileged person I’m sure she did not mean it like that, but damn, does that sound entitled lol. Not everyone’s an overpaid Hollywood actor, some people can’t choose a job just because, the majority of people in the world do a job because they need the money to pay for their lifestyle…especially in these times we’re living in.”
“Not everyone has the luxury to go for the job they want and abandon the job they have now even if it sucks.”
Etc.
Blunt, who is married to Jim from The Office, is said to be worth north of $80 million.
If you could quit your job and get not paid to do what you love, what would it be?

She forgot step #2: Marry JSC and live happily ever after off his book royalties.
fuck, I guess I should just quit the law and surf, talk shit online about surfing, watch surfing, post stupid surfing memes, write stupid music, play music shows to empty venues, fence, and drink for a living.
Best comment of the clones✅
I like how you snuck fence in there second to last. Bougie
it’s in reverse order of the things I’m the most proficient at
Hey Stray C! Are we on today, or should I just go fuck myself?
Emily Blunt: another one who totally fucked up their face and for no good reason too; she was such a natural beauty.
Was, being the key word.
Gorgeous in Sicario
Also in Charlie Wilson’s war. She plays the daughter of some businessman, and hooks up with Charlie; in the first half of the movie. Usually don’t like a spray tan but that and the lingerie had her looking like a solid 9. Very hot.
Go on surf trips à la supergrom support crew, film it all, become a world class surfer and then leverage that clout when I publish my historical fiction novel about a Syrian Greek Orthodox merchant who has to flee Ottoman Syria in the 19th century for Catholic Mexico. Paint paintings.
Bodily functions etc.
ok, I want to know more about that novel though.
Yes, the novel has promise. Why, for example, did the merchant have to flee? Bog, feel free to be as salacious or otherwise imaginative as you choose.
idk, Greek Orthodox being motivated to get the hell out of dodge from the Ottoman Empire is pretty self explanatory. They were never exactly kind overrulers (see, e.g., the Armenian Genocide).
Because being a stand-up guy, he didn’t get on well with the people from an empire based on a footstool
“ok, I want to know more about that novel though.”
JSC is publishing it so probably not worth the read. Lots of thumbnail photos.
How come the margs live camera is daylight and snapper is still dark on surfline?
earth is for sure flat
Looked at both. Full moon is lighting up waves at both but the light from buildings has the Snapper cam tuned for more light compared to margs.
so its a conspiracy?
One is on the eastern coast, the other is on the western coast. There’s a two hour time difference.
Yeah but its the wrong way round
I would pretend to be super super Australian on a fourth level surf blog comment section. Crunts! That’s portmanteau of crocodiles and cunts.
I feel attacked
She would be a Krunt. A portmanteau of Krazinski and Blunt.
I’d develop the GrittyBeachNews into the world’s leading surf adjacent tabloid, and pay the commenters (on an upvotes to comments ratio basis) from my inexhaustibly deep pockets.
All other surf adjacent tabloids like Stab, the Inertia, Swellnet and BeachGrit would be crushed by the dominance of GrittyBeachNews, and their owners left in a skid row gutter…
This has much to recommend it.
Be the commentary booth couch, but only if they bring Rosy and AJ back
Wait… wouldn’t that mean you have to endure Joe, Vaughn, Kaipo, et al sitting there asses on you too? Yuck 🤢
Worth it
Oh hell no.
There’s no telling where those asses have been.
“Money can’t buy happiness
But it could buy me a boat, it could buy me a truck to pull it
It could buy me a Yeti 110 iced down with some silver bullets
Yeah, and I know what they say
Money can’t buy everything
Well, maybe so,
But it could buy me a boat
They call me redneck, white trash and blue collar
But I could change all that if I had a couple million dollars
I keep hearing that money is the root of all evil
And you can’t fit a camel through the eye of a needle
I’m sure that’s probably true,
But it still sounds pretty cool”
‘ i ain’t sayin’ she’s a gold digger’
Was Bob Odenkirk interviewed on the New York Times weekend podcast. I thought it would be grounded because he was a grunt level comedy writer for a long time, but he talked about ketamine and therapy and how much harder it is for anyone to have happiness than to simply ” the formula” to becoming rich, which is an illusion.
very Hollywood let them eat cake kind of nonsense. Disappointed in the dude
Uhh, no idea. That is a quote from a Chris Janson song.
Well. Considering his vast experience, both in time and variety, maybe you should be less close minded and entertain the idea that he knows what he’s talking about; and that you’re just being a bit judgemental.
Something to think about.
idk, I think that having more money than you could possibly spend in a lifetime and becoming entangled in a dick measuring contest with other billionaires about spacecraft and which politicians you can have in your pocket might land you in that evil territory.
can confirm the earn no money part, if not the happiness part lol
JS!!
Looks like the bracket falls so we could have an Erin vs Caity final at Snapper — is that your call or you pulling for the old guard??
Oh, I have not looked at the thing yet! Erin keeps going out in round 3? So, I’m not that hyped on her, so far.
terrible wave selection , so much promise in that backhand snap – wasted, uggh
You just need to charge a thousand dollars each for your new coffee table book. Congrats on it.
Ha ha ha, if only!! And, thanks kindly 🙂
Scottish are crabby motherfuckers

That’s exactly what an undercover heiress would say…
Ouch!
oh, i am having fun! like, i’m writing a novel which is all chas’s fault! but, eh, money what is that anyway
surf-themed gothic horror set in 1980s Carpinteria?
Surf Club, where the first rule is no one talks about Surf Club, and everyone meets up at Tower 9.

The History of the Tar Patch…
sub: and how we cannot afford to ignore The Past..
Aloha, Jen!
she’s alive!
Jen, good to see you!
Hey Jen. I was convinced that you abandoned us.
Hope that you’re not following the live chats. If you are, then grab the liquor and antacids.
oh i’m around! haven’t been in the live chats. now i’m curious?
I wish you the best. I thought that you had a good reason to up anchor and move onto better.
But, maybe your skin is thicker than mine.
I’d start an online surf adjacent tabloid, call it GrittyBeach, and pay the commenters (out of my own inexhaustibly deep pockets) according to their ‘upvotes per comment ratio’.
GrittyBeach would become the world’s dominant force of online surf adjacent tabloids, putting the others like the Inertia, Stab, Swellnet and BeachGrit out of business…
“If you could quit your job and get not paid to do what you love, what would it be?”
Self evidently the answer is to surf, relax and comment on Beachgrit
Having a bit of trouble figuring out what “get not paid” means.
Consult your local grammar technician.
A bit worried that having the kid ask his elementary school English teacher might get the kid kicked out of class and send down a grade.
