Job Prospects?!

Today I took my daily walk to Mcdonald’s to get an iced coffee and as I was standing in line, I actually contemplated for a moment about applying for a job. I used to work in Mcdonald’s in high school and I know shift managers make decent money.
Alas, the though, the thought was only for that moment. I standing there all calm and patient waiting for my large caramel iced coffee. When some ignorant old twit of a woman, cut in front of me to complain that her apple pie was defective and she wanted another one. Now, my perception of defective would be a dirty or not properly cooked apple pie. This bitch was complaining because her apple was split in half.

Now you know if I was behind the counter, I would've her, "So if it’s split in two it’s easier to eat. It’s not like you were going to shove the whole damn thing in your mouth. Even though it would probably fit."
So needless to say I am crossing the fast food industry off the list of my employment opportunities.

Out Of Sight , But Not Mind!

Well it’s nice to know after almost a year of being unceremoniously fired from an Putnam Investments, I’m may be out of sight but not out of mind.

I was having lunch with Oliver yesterday, when a former co-worker came up to me to see how I was. It seems that when I had my accident it was posted on a local paper’s internet site. Which I know it was a bit newsworthy so it needed to be reported.

However, it didn’t need to be copied and pasted into a friggin' email and sent to everyone in the company. Not to mention Putnam does have their strict internet policies so the article probably was not on a company authorized web site.

BUSTED!

Now I know how the tabloids feel. Today I need to attempt to write a semi, kinda, sorta retraction.

In my previous post I alluded to a person, whom I went on a date with, where he was on his blackberry 85% of the time. Naturally, being the wise ass that I am woke up the next morning and detailed the experience in my blog. Well a few minutes after I posted the comment, he went on my site and read my comments.
Since we all know how much I love my Law & Order, I need to present my arguments.

1. I didn’t say who it was I was out .

2. I did embellish about cruising the restaurant for other prospects.

3. He said he was gonna shut the damn thing six and he still on it after seven.

4. My comments were still witty and others got a laugh. Plus I got to write about other things
other that HIV & Seizure disorders.

5. My comments were still witty and others got a laugh.

Lastly, on the plus side he did say I was an awesome writer, even though he did attempt to send me a letter he wrote to show how I could be a better one.

In closing, when it comes to the style and form of my writing. Remember kids, I writing and your reading A BLOG. Not Ladies Home Fucking Journal!
