Tracking Employed Tim

Formerly known as Tracking UNEMPLOYED Tim, this blog site continues my attempt at blending on-the-spot reporting with a keen eye for psychological trends to track the man known as Tim, my roommate, who was unemployed. He is now working for an architecture firm. This ongoing experiment will hopefully give the world insight to his life. It should be noted that to fully capture Tim I intend to blend fact and fiction.

One Day Down, A Lifetime of Backbreaking Labor To Go


EMPLOYED Tim pictured moments after returning home from his first day of work. He's smiling now ladies and gentlemen, but give it time, soon that smile will turn to a frown and before too long he'll collapse into the menacing rage Tim so perfectly personifies.

The Kick-Off



Looking cocksure and prideful, the brand new EMPLOYED Tim readies for his first day at an architecture firm, where, according to Tim, he's "at the bottom of the totem pole." To which he quickly added, "but there's no totem pole without the bottom ... or maybe it's just shorter."

How insightful, architectural and self-deprecating at the same time -- that's the EMPLOYED Tim I know.

So, he's dressed in a smart-looking slacks and blue shirt combo, he didn't oversleep and he smoked, by my estimates, about six cigarettes before heading to work.

The oyster is yours EMPLOYED Tim.
