It is confusing when a stupid man plays dumb.

Today I headed outside to ask the question, How well will I be able to get around by bike during winter? The answer: Not well at all, actually. A few inches of snow and temperatures in the twenties are a lot more formidable when you're pedaling around in them than they are when you're thinking about them in September. I guess I'll be doing more ( Read more... )

i find the concept of you working at a kiosk in the mall very odd, especially a sausage one.

I agree.

Also, I am inspired to send you bad/terrible poetry in the mail and will probably not get around to doing so. LUCKY YOU.

I am also glad you will be a-workin' over break as I will be, too.

I probably find it about as odd as you do. But it's a short-time job where I'm able to get a fair amount of hours, which is exactly what I needed. And Jim, if you do find the time, that would make me very, very happy.

greg- use your job at hickory farms as a subterfuge for your vegetarian activism. replace the delicious and plump hickory farms sausage with discolored and awkward-looking homemade tofusage. THEY'LL NEVER KNOW. don't let the man get you down.

subterfuge \SUB-tur-fyooj\, noun:
A deceptive device or stratagem.

I was originally planning to keep heads of lettuce behind the counter, subtlely swapping them with sausages after the money changes hands, but that's an even better idea.

I am reminded on an Onion article with the headline something like, "Doesn't anyone realize I'm wearing this staid navy-blue suit ironically?" Don't let your irony couch you from the reality that you're pushing an assortment of spiced meats to holiday shoppers. It's better to realize that and become comfortable, because once you do, you'll want to better yourself and get a better job much quicker.

Oh yeah, under the heading of "Bad ways to be out of you comfort zone" is whoring meat to mall shoppers. But be optimistic, I can think of few ways that whoring meat will give you a good experience excepting if Jesus Christ himself were to inquire about that delicious log of cheese you're selling.

a vegetarian liberal-artsy college student selling sausage at a midwestern shopping mall sounds like the premise for an amazing, amazing david sedaris story. good luck.

I'm going to agree with Alissa on this one. Also, I am going to come to the mall and sit on a bench and watch you being a sausage whore and think about how lucky I am to be in a job where I never even have to see sausages unless someone has them as part of their retirement party. We have so many retirement parties! I love working in places where everyone is old.

P.S. Please add to your confused gender case that sausages are generally considered really really phallic.

Why is my grammar so bad? It is 4:38 AM!
