Day 18: You Weren't Any Good at Your Job, Anyway

That's it. I'm going to make greeting cards. If someone loses their job, a greeting card is in order, am I not right? You don't see Hallmark out there with sympathy cards for the unemployed and homeless. Hallmark is just cold. Something like, "I'm Sorry You Lost Your Job....but you weren't any good at it anyway" or "I'm Always Here For You....I'm fighting for bottle territory for you right now". Hallmark isn't interested in real life. Like cards for graduation. Every parent in California runs out and buys a bumper sticker when their kid gets honours at some snooty high school or college (I'm so dead serious, I seen them with my own eyes, smack on the back of Mercedes and BMWs in Santa Monica, kill yourself now...). How about when your kid gets kicked out of school for smoking pot? "I'm Sorry You Got Kicked Out of School...but that pot you smoked was probably laced with heroin so you'll be dead in no time.". Or how about dropping out of school? Lots of kids do that nowadays, "I'm Sorry You Didn't Make It...but you'll have so much time to figure out that deep fryer at work now.".

Reality bites I guess. And we all end up leaving the same way we came in - naked, broke, and crying. I'm not dead yet, I'm only naked and broke. Onward with the jobhunt...
