Wednesday, October 29, 2003 This is the part of the job I hate
I had to get up and get gas this morning, because I spent last night ferrying my trashy and parasitic neighbors around. One of them asked for a ride down the street top the restuarant where her roommate works, and it was cold and rainy, so I said yes. It turned into an hour and a half of nonense, including driving to a neighborhood I swear I've seen on Cops in order that the most parasitic of the neighbors could pick up a child support check for a child that isn't currently living with her from a man who is not the father of the child. I am never going into the hall again. I'm going to rig up some sort of pneumatic tube that can shunt me from my living room window down to my car and back every day. Or, next time the trashy parasitic neighbor(s) requests something, I'll say no. Either/or.
Anyway...I went to get gas this morning, and I saw some class of potted plant in the middle of the road, about to get ruined. I parked and went and retreived it. It appears to be some kind of pansy. So now I have two discarded plants prettying up the living room. They are much cleaner than the discarded dog we acquired that time, but I enjoy their company a lot less.
Still, having green things around does a little to offset the depression that comes from looking for a better job. "Oh, look, they're hiring poultry eviscerators!"
I threw down a resume and application at one place online. They're looking for an editor and proofreader for an advertising agency. In the first line of their ad, they'd misspelled "advertising," so I think I might have a shot. Also, I think their "agency" might be run out of a van or shanty of some sort. I still prefer it to my current Reagan Youth job down at the politburo with the mutants and werewolves. posted by Frenz | 10/29/2003 12:34:00 PM
