Done it! I’m gonna sell life insurance, and hook folks up with financial security.

I just wish the boss’s demonstrations of possible income didn’t sound so much like the chinchilla farm ads from the back of comic books when I was a kid.

Our congregation used to take a turn hosting the weekly senior citizen’s morning out. There would be doughnuts and bingo and generally a good time.

My first assignment was cutting up the doughnuts. We only bought enough for each visitor to get a quarter of a doughnut. I mean, we knew this was how it would be. Our group had done it before.

I tried a second job at a grocery store deli. How is it that you tell a manager “I work third shift at my other job. I can work any shift here that doesn’t interfere with that,” and she schedules you for noon to five. Hello? I get off at 8AM. Four hours later, I have to be at work here. I get off at 5PM, and have to be back at work at eleven. Three days later, you’ve got someone running your slicer and changing your grease who hasn’t slept in 72 hours.

I’ve got an interview in two days. crosses fingers
