Online Driver Vacancies
August 9th, 2007

I found this ad on a counter in the local supermarket; they have Online Driver Vacancies.
Cool. I’d like to be an Online Driver. Do you think it requires me to get a second life account and go pimp my ride?
I know it states “4 years full driving licence required” but that’s nothing – I’ve had mine for nearly 20 years AND I’m not only a demon driver but a dab hand at MSR, Project Gotham, Gran Tourismo, SEGA Rally et al.
I can do that, I can be an Online Driver.
Gizza Job.

i think that online driving would be a lot safer for me than the regular kind. what with always nicking things and saying “there’s no way i’m gonna hit that” and being wrong and such … excellent idea, lever. if you get the job i wanna be your passenger seat helper driver. but i get to be in charge of radio. no arguments.
Rebekah: LMFAO OK, deal: but no smoking in the cab please, it might impair my vision, especially whilst online driving in the dark.
I reckon you could bring a couple of pets along too, I mean, whereabouts are they gonna jump out huh?
What a totally weird concept! I have no-where to go with it.
Mummy/Crit: LOL So how do online drivers drop off the groceries do you reckon?
who smokes? not me. but if you know something i dont … i can’t bring the pets. they go completely bat shit when it comes to rides. and cracker likes riding in the driver’s lap looking out the window.
Rebekah: Hmm… I thought you smoked… ah well, my bad. OK, no pets riding shotgun then. ‘ere, I just thought of something… where are the windows on this online vehicle gonna be? I wonder if they’re tinted or mirrored? They’ve gotta be electric, right?
it’s ok. i have plenty of bad habits although that isn’t one of them.
ok, the windows – ready – are on the TOP of the car. like on the ceiling, man. and instead of regular tinting, it’s SPARKLY tinting. yesssssss. i like that idea. a lot.
this car needs a name, yo.
Rebekah: That’s called a sunroof, dudette
Heh, I remember you naming your cars… wasn’t the last one called Steve and you lost him or his keys or something? I’ll leave the naming convention to you girl, us guys are no god at giving (online) vehicles names :S
Erm… (does everyone start with that due to your Erm… bit? LOL)
I’d keep well away from SecondLife, I think the FirstLife is hard enough. Hopefully SL will go the same way as big boredom and have 15 viewers/users next year
Rederick: It’s actually a cue for the Blogger called “Erm…” to post here but they’ve never showed up…
I know what you mean about secondlife; there’s far too much to do in firstlife without being distracted by an online fantasy world… who would do the dishes/feed the cat/earn the dough/fix the car/do the bathroom etc. ?
Roll on BB9
Where do you get an Online Driving Licence??
oh. yes. sunrooves. i forget they existed. but i’ve never seen one, so in my mind they’re magical, made up entities, like fairies or the state of Kansas. you know, things i haven’t yet verified the existence of.
um. yes. Steve was my ford who died. my new car is elliott. this one i’m thinking will be sebastian. i really like that name.
Brom: How about at this Online Driving School?
Rebekah: Waddya mean you’ve never seen a sunroof? (or one of those sunrooves? Talking of plurals is it monkeys or monkies?)
Other imaginary things include honest politicians and Microsoft having their own ideas…
And Sebastian… Are you gonna have the first camp car?
oR TrUcK or whAtEvERiTiS? Sorry… had to do that!
What do they mean by online driver? Does that require you to have an online driver’s license and own an online car? What a weird concept…
Maybe soon we’ll see an ad for online pc technician. Oh the irony.
well excuse me for not having money coming out my arse to afford a car with a sunroof so that i can see one!
now i have to go write down a new life goal … note to self: add “see a sunroof” to my “before i die” list …
Tawcan: I know, weird isn’t it?
Online PC tech… that’s a good idea. Unless of course you get the call from the customer in a power cut, in which case remote access would be null
Rebekah: LMAO So cars with sunroofs (sunrooves) are expensive huh? Well that must be why we’ve only got 1 car with a sunroof aye?
How about you upgrade to an electric sunroof? That’d be cool
electric things are … electric. erm erm erm. ha.
i dunno, i’ve always equated that kind of luxury with being really expensive. maybe i just dont know anything at all
that’s always a possibility.
or maybe i’ll just buy three just to say ‘hey lever i’ve got THREE sunrooves ha ha ha i’m a big shot wooh’. or maybe not.
Rebekah:I knew that coffee maker I got you guys for your wedding present would come in handy…
You got electric windows, right? Expensive car? Not always, mine’s relatively inexpensive
But as for three sunroofs, check this lot out. I would have said “check these babies out” but I don’t associate MPVs with babies, (except as a mode of transport for ferrying babies etc. around) Well, not with babies as a term of endearment as in “these cars are hot” even though I’ve always wondered why babies might be considered hot… if they were I’d call the doctor, or more appropriately the paediatrician I believe, even though pedia is also part of the word encyclopedia which I think has very little to do with babies (And cycling) also and not feet neither seeing as it’s similar to the French word for foot… but anyways, I digress… That Peugeot MPV, a European vehicle and, again, a French one at that, has THREE SUNROOFS! How’s that for luxurious, aye?
hehehehe. oh lever, i heart you dearly. a French car with three sunrooves – well i’m gonna buy 3.
Rebekah: Ah mate, thanks, Rebakah “Nine Rooves” Rebel’s Advocate
