No Blog Ideas?
Got things you’d like to rant about but are pretty sure you shouldn’t? No Problem! Just rearrange the backgrounds of your blog and hope people don’t notice the utter dearth of content!
Okay, maybe they already noticed a bit when you started giving things away for no apparent reason.
Anyways, it appears that my long-awaited departure for the Lone Star state is temporarily on hold, though preparations continue at a brisk pace. Latest word has it as no-later-than APRIL 1, so in the interest of keeping sane, I’ve decided to take a joe-job – if nothing else, for the entertainment and the beer money.
Yep, Targét will now be paying me to lift heavy things. Unless, of course, those snobs over at Border’s realize their error in the next week or so. Its been awhile since I worked retail -- 'round 10 years now - and I almost laughed out loud at the smirk on the manager’s face as I handed over the application – sort of a “fuck, you’re not TOO overqualified, so I can’t just say no outright…” I can tell he’ll be an interesting chap to work for — interesting like a sandy-bunghole beach hangover is interesting. Needless to say, though, I’ll be buying lots of cheap shit imported from Chiner with the extra cheddar, and I’m sure I’ll have some stories worth blogging about shortly. Like how I crammed a pricing gun up some 19 year-old’s ass.
In the mean time, I’m doing a detailed study on a redesign. I have a few ideas kicking around upstairs, and at least one set in motion:
Something serify perhaps?

Oh and can you get the anti-spam image to have words like "felch", "shag" and "frott"? :p

Why'd I wanna do that? No, I'm perfectly happy with the current Yiddish, Bubs. It's not my fault you don't know how insulting it is to call someone a vdvsaa -- on the Upper West Side you'd get cursed as a meshugas farblunget goy shmendrik, and that's no good at all.
Oy, this whole megilla has got me farklempt. Time to go gnosh an everything with a schmear.

I applied online for a part-time job at Borders a couple months ago. There was some ungodly long psych. screen that I had to wade through. Considering what they pay, I thought it was ridiculous.
Anyway, try to get on register, at Target, so you can hook us all up with lots of free shit.

Psych screen? Oh yeah -- those pointyheads over at Borders started asking me wierd questions about my brain, but stopped abruptly when I told them "Ah dunt rede so gud".
Frankly I thunk that wa desk rimmy nation.
Actually, I got a real strong vibe like "You'll never get in Captain Average, but you can scribble on this piece of paper for awhile -- if you'd like." I really felt like blurting out some artificial measure of intellect, like an SAT score from 12 years ago, or my highest score at bar trivia, or maybe my last score on the Wünderlich test.

I'm with TFG. I go to target a lot. Which one you at?

Snay: Dobbin Center, Columbia. I'll let you know if I get a register job so you can come take advantage of some omissive petty larceny. Right now they've got me in the warehouse.
