This would unveil a whole new level of pain inherent in your normal diatribes. It's only an acronym replacement but let's try it out for size:<br /><br />"I have not one but two hard-earned BFs ." There! Sounds pretty good to me. Scans well too.

But my boss-to-be for the job (I think) I have lined up seemed understanding when I explained it. And I'm too cowardly to explain that here in the offchance that any meatspace person I've already told the story reads this and connects me to my online writings. Not that they're all that different from the stuff I say in person, which may be related to my history of getting fired.TGGPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11017651009634767649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632813196384907322.post-76654354495474042232012-05-02T11:04:01.489-05:002012-05-02T11:04:01.489-05:00At least they didn't tell you that they were o...At least they didn't tell you that they were only hiring minorities at this time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632813196384907322.post-16221539330142580862012-04-05T18:08:28.705-05:002012-04-05T18:08:28.705-05:00Cash under the table.

For what they pay dishwashers (I was one for five years during my "severely socially disabled" late-adolescent phase; I'd probably go back to it now if only I could get hired, and if only they still actually paid the legal minimum wage), they should be thankful you don't go out into the restaurant and strangle the patrons.<br /><br />MRDA: Thank you!

The shiny happy 'people are all good at heart' sort of paradigm breaks down whenever people get vetted in my opinion. We get warned all the time these days in school not to post X on the internet, since our employers will see and throw us in a landfill to die. I never really took it seriously until now because I was convinced that 'people couldn't be that stupid - they have a position to fill, who cares if it's with a *gasp* nonconformist'. You've opened my eyes I guess, though it's not really going to change anything. I'm far too lazy to conform.estnihilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06217832072898102413noreply@blogger.com
