And Speaking of God's Wrath...
If this eConversation with Heather doesn't get me on the next Hummer to hell, then I don't know what will. It also contains some social commentary on how I feel about corporations -- and lots of them do it -- who base salaries on what they perceive that employees NEED instead of what they actually DESERVE.
And how we make that leap from blasphemy to equal rights, I don't even know. Just go with it.
(eConversation had while in the throes of my most recent temp job)
PW: so, it looks like the person who now has the job I might have, works full time
H: but you're so smart you could do it in half time?
PW: that would be AWESOME
PW: cuz the broad who has it now is one of those who likes to bustle around and look busy and important and put-upon.
PW: so I"m thinking if I DIDN'T spend so much time on the cross, I'd get more done in less time
H: that's what we thought about jesus, too.
H: in case you're wondering if I could get any cooler?
H: I just got the invite to [Famous Huge Corporation] President's retirement party.
PW: SHUT THE FUCK UP!
H: I know!
H: I am the coolest!
PW: first the Rock Me Sexy Jesus bracelet, now this?!
H: how do you STAND me?
PW: I'm feeling so inadequate.
PW: I'm like, "Yeah, I MIGHT have a job that COULD have anywhere from 20-40 hours, but my potential boss is outta town, and no one KNOWS anything, LEAST of all what I'd make". and you're like, "I'm lunching with the Pope!"
PW: get me and my not-really-employed-ness
H: your boobs are still bigger, and your hair bouncier.
PW: I think I should get $45K/yr. for the bouncy hair alone
H: DUh.
H: you havn't accpeted unless you konw how much you're getting.
PW: clearly
PW: and it had better be GOOD
PW: I think a dump-truck full should hold me for a little while
H: Seriously.
H: although if you're part time at 45K? I will die of jealousy.
H: just hope you're prepared.
PW: that'd never happen
PW: I'd be lucky to get half that at fulltime
PW: because I am a woman and have no children, remember?
H: no family to support, right.
PW: exactly
PW: clearly, I"d just be working for spending money, so I can buy mascara and shoes
PW: because my husband is RICH and has no children that we are supporting
PW: I'm really just woring as a hobby
PW: I usually just roll up my checks and smoke them. never even deposit them.
H: Like Karen on Will and Grace!
)){kind=link}
PW: only drunker
PW: with bigger boobs
H: EXACTLY!

Any time you can be Karen, it's a good day.
I always like how it's okay with people who have kids to call in sick/take off but when I do it, it's like 'well how come, it's JUST YOU!?!?'
They don't realize I get sick from whoring around and partying like a rock star. Rock stars need sick days too you know.

Clearly, you should start claiming your Barbies as offspring. Think of the tax deduction!
