Bastards, why didnt they tell me this before I lost 3 fingers.  Its not everyday I have to open a plastic bag.

The Universe is continuing to make a turn around.  Besides still being extremely calm and satisfied at w$#k , today this news story hit the internet...

"It's time to get in line again for one of Hollywood's most handsome thesps: After a storied romance that began in a Las Vegas nightspot, George Clooney and Miss Stupid Hoochie have split up.

While a rep for Clooney would not confirm or deny the breakup, a source tells People that the couple is over. In the absence of official statements so far, the tabloids are buzzing with comments from "sources," one of whom tells In Touch, "George is relieved to be single again. He thinks MIss S.H. is gnarly  and that is why it wasnt so hard to break up with her."

The alleged insider went on to say, "The truth is that they had little in common, she was always shiny in photographs,  her eyebrows were drawn on with a Sharpie  and he's finally come to his senses and realized Rustymadgal completes him.  He's jetting to the Trailer Park right now with a seriously big rock set in platinum to whisk her away to start a dog retirement home on the shores of Lake Como."

It's time for the Mo'jinx to w$#k its magic.

I want my imaginary global warming and I want it now Dammit!   Another snow just three days after a record breaking 85.  I have finally put away my winter clothes, ripped the plastic off the windows and dug out the fans.  The poor leafy trees are now all bent in half, ragged and wilted from last weeks blizzard.

Something truly incredible however is happening in the Trailer Park.   My new job is going so well and so non-corporate merica someday soon I may not spell it w$#k.   There is no dread upon waking up anymore and twice I've gone in without checking my lottery tickets first.  Generally most jobs I start under the caution flag and try my best to maintain the glossy faux optimism painted by the evil HR knowing all the while its only a matter of time before the mans toxicity gurgles to the surface and I'm forced to pee in a cup, be brainwashed by motivational posters during breaktime and learn teamw$#k by building a popsicle stick boat.  I'm 99.999999% sure that just isnt going to happen here.  I'm seeing now exactly what I'm getting and its fine.  I'm fine, my boss is fine, my cow$#kers are fine (the one guy who asks every woman out not so fine but I've been thru worse and I did get a warning it was coming)  its all fine and a relief.

What's wrong with this picture?














Shorts yesterday and woke up to this today.   Easily half a foot.   One internet forecast is still saying 66 and sunny today.  Everything on here isnt true?  Gasp!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!   I pulled it off somehow.  Could be the Mo'jinx, you know how when you mention something in your blog or in the many behind the scenes Momails or chats and it happens in real life? 

There I was yesterday posting and wallowing in the Trailer Parks biggest pity party about my inability for the first time ever to get a job and all the shit the man makes you go through just to apply for the privilege of being turned down.

This morning started out no differently.   Got up, hiked with Cavedog and emailed a few evil HRs for jobs I had applied for and heard nothing from.  At this point I have nothing to lose so I wrote one HR that I saw the position frequently in the classifieds and promised not to be worse than any of the past people he had hired.

I also applied for a few more jobs online like they wanted and took the most insane personality test ever.  Those questions can usually try to be tricky and sometimes the choices they give for answers dont fit but one test section made me pick between two choices.

 I would rather

have marshmallow fluff stuffed in my ears or w$#k with someone sloppy and lazy

smell something awful or have one task to accomplish all day

be probed by aliens or fall down the stairs

I have no idea what they wanted, maybe that was the drug test.

After that the dark clouds blew in and we had our first rain in over two months.  I drove around in my crappy economy car with the dried out wipers smearing pine sap all over the windshield picking up more and more applications. 

Big Brother has been freaking me out like I mentioned yesterday, its impossible to get a job without piss, prints or a letter from the Governor but the apps I picked up today were even worse.  One job wanted the application notarized before I returned it and another wanted me to pay 30 bucks towards a $47 fingerprint check and they wanted 5 references instead of the usual 3.

When I finally got home with a raging headache to fill out my epic tragedy of a life saga the message light on the phone was blinking and it was about a job.  One I had called and left my name and number ages ago and forgotten about. 

Anyway I recognized the callers name as an old friend of roomies, called him back and told him who I was and immediately went over to talk to him in person.  Spent several hours talking in the strangest noninterview ever and got hired. 

No application, no resume, no drug test, no references, no motivational posters, no dress code, no meetings, no personality tests, no background check, no fingerprints, no strengths, no weaknesses, no dmv report and most importantly NO CORPORATE AMERICA.  Just assisting an individual who needs assitance.   Even met other people who have been around for years, its a legit job.  Yes, I bought extra lottery tickets on my way home.


Suck it Big Brother!

I'm Back!!!

Call me RustyMadJoad.  



Never have I applied for more than 2 jobs in a row without getting one.   This is getting scary.  

Had an interview that went really well last Thursday but havent heard anything yet.  In the olden days I would say I got it but a curse has kicked in.  I did call Friday afternoon but she hadnt talked to the owner.

However from the glass being half full perspective, how awful is it not to go daily to that which you hate most?  Cavedog is really benefitting from having a 24/7 concierge and is a little less fearful.  On the other hand "I like money", to quote Idiocracy.

Am I getting baked from a previous job reference? 

 Its a depressing scene in this college/touron town.  Only a few dozen jobs at the most  listed in the paper.  Mainly the same few places over and over again,  and theres a reason for that, they suck.

Feel a little like a relic from another time and believe a lot of what I need to know can come from looking someone in the eye and seeing them in action.  These days everyone wants urine tests,  background checks, fingerprint checks,  the past 10 yrs employment/residence history, personality tests, polygraphs, 5 yr motor vehicle reports ( which cost 5 bucks, 39 month records are available free over the internet but thats not good enough.)   The more they put you through the worse its going to be.   In return they offer split days off and no firm 40 hours but they want the staff to be available anytime.

Overall, except for a few insane married couples, my experiences w%$king for a small business have been positive but the chains started moving in about 10 yrs ago and the little guys are on the endangered list.  This would be a really good time for the lottery to kick in.  Damn Damn Damn
