Tired of Tires!

[saanen]

A few years ago, when my truck was new, some asshat kid went up and down the street one night slashing tires. They only got one of mine but some people had all four slashed. No one knew for sure who the kid was, but we had a neighbor a few doors down with a high school aged son who was apparently under suspicion. I knew he hadn't done it--he was

oh, dear, too much adventure of the wrong sort.

But, hey! good job on the synposis!

[saanen]

Yeah, I needed to do some work on it. It's a lot better now!

I am so over snow.

Oh, I'd trade places with you in one second! But you have to pay this month's $250 heating bill for me. :)

[seaslug_of_doom]

Now wait, you would trade places with me but only if I pay this month's heating bill. This benefits me how, again?

[saanen]

*Thinks* Well, obviously you'd get an otherwise free trip back to Pennsylvania. And, um, I'd pay YOUR heating bill for the month, too! Yeah! Also, I would give you two cats.

No, wait, I take it back about the cats.

Good for Geico, and good for you!

What is this job of which you speak?

Oh, it's just a boring temp job. It doesn't pay well, but I like it because it's a tiny family-run company and very relaxed. I may end up taking this one permanently if they raise my pay at least a dollar an hour.

I can certainly see the advantages -- hope it works out (pay raise, permanence).

[saanen]

Well, knowing me it'll be semi-permanence. I don't like working as a secretary at all (actually, I don't like working at all), and the only thing that makes it bearable is knowing I won't be staying all that long. That's a big part of the reason I like temping. On the other hand, benefits are nice too.
