Get In Line!

So what do me and an ever growing number of Americans have common? We're all unemployed. That's right, I no longer have a job. 40 minutes to quitting time, and the boss pulls me into his office. Apparently the account they were trying out just isn't making the number, and me and the whole department (well really 3 other people) are getting the boot.

They said they were happy with my performance, and they should be starting a debt consolidation account July 1st so they hope I am still available to work as my numbers kicked total fucking T-Rex dick! He actually said I swear. Oh well at least I get to sleep again. I knew things weren't going to last long. After all the job was like the phone equivalent of poking a retard with a stick and then running away.... no more like poking a retard with a stick and then riding away on one of the Segways. But only 7 days?

At least I got to see the baby alligator out back once more, and I did experience a moment of irony so profound I was almost knocked out of my seat. I'm eating lunch in the breakroom, watching MSNBC when they have this report about how Obama has taken up golf. In the midst of talk about how great he looks in shorts (seriously they said that), the female reporter said this:

"Though some Presidents have been critcised for golfing during a time of national crisis...."

(cut to picture of G.W. and George Sr)

"...Obama has so far managed to escape criticism."

At that point I had to stop, and take a moment. I looked around the room to see if any one else had caught. Nope. Do you get it? The press just gave an on air nod to their own lack of objectivity. On TV! The world is insane.

c'est la vie.
