Worked today, dark to dark. It's that time of year again. Should seem obvious, what with my voracious appetite for meaty, creamy soups. Campbell's Chunky is holding me steady until I break out the crockpot and make myself a stew. Or a chili. Or baked mac n cheese. Or a roast... Damn. It's kinda hard to write right now.
Marten's suggestion for a back pain simile "like a clamped tramp stamp" blows any of my musings out of the water. I actually guffawed. Hats off to you, sir. Well done.
So, some somewhat disappointing news... I haven't had that manager position interview at work yet, but I will tomorrow. The last couple things that my boss's boss's boss said to me while we were setting up the time was:
Him: "Wow, I was told that you were an assistant manager of a grocery store."
Me: "Nope. Supervisor in a union industrial environment."
Him: "Well, we should have the interview anyway. See what sorts of paths we might take."
Me: "K."
So maybe baby retail management isn't in the cards. Was kinda hoping it was. Ah well. I still have my writing to keep me going. Writing like this.
Time to buy some cumin and, I don't know, northern beans... garlic cloves...
"Someone told me you were like Flo from the Progressive commercials, but turns out you're actually like the guy from 1984. Hmm... Well, we'll do the interview anyway, I'm just curious to see if there's any trace of soul left in you."
ReplyDeleteHar. Kidding, kidding. I don't know, it takes a really smart guy to recognize that you're even more smart so here's hoping he's a smart guy and gives you the job. You'd be a great manager. Hell, you've been practicing condescension for years! I can't think of someone more perfect for the job.
Hope it goes well, mang.
Maybe cramped works better than clamped there, but clamped is what I thought of first, so I stood by it.
ReplyDeleteI won't push you for news about the interview, but one way or another, at some point SOMEbody's gotta realize that throwing a lot of money at you in exchange for your abilities is a profitable idea.
