See that Mountain Over There? Someday I'm going to Climb That Mountain....


So first the election updates...Eddie Perez won the primaries easily, Kitchen Scandal and all. Yay Eddie! So here's an update on the job search and the Great Mountain Thing. Sorry about the graphic, it just popped up when I did an image search on Avon. Heh, hysterical much on my part?

So as I told you, Gov Rell had issued a temporary ban on truck traffic on Space Mountain. As luck would have it, that ban was out in force on Monday morning as I drove to my interview with a certain unnamed insurance company. I kid you not - cops EVERYWHERE and as luck would have it, Miss Rell herself was giving a news conference on the apex of Avon.

(BTW, rumor has it that the truck ban has now been made permanent! Yay, us!)

Now I don't entirely understand the ethics of press conferences as you drive by...are they like Union Rallies where you honk? Like...Honk if You Love Truck Bans? Honk if Your Republican Governor Starts Behaving Like a Democrat?

Meanwhile, the jerk who steals my paper continues to steal my paper...and I have a cunning plan. So I think I don't want to confront this jerk head on at first, only if he continues his asshattery. So here is what I am going to do: on Saturday, I will get up really early and replace the coffee, er, paper he normally steals with last week's Times, with a note taped inside.

So here is my first poll...should the note say

A) Please stop taking my NYTimes, you are STEALING from me, or

B) I just watched you steal my paper.

The second one. He already knows he's stealing from you, but the second just might make him paranoid.

Or you can do the freezer spell...

#2 :)

I am lucky here in Omaha nobody steals my times. They think it's a commie rag.

First, WOOT for Eddie's Primary victory!

Second, I'm happy that the truck ban was in play as you went for your interview. AND I really hope that the rumor about the ban being made permanent turns out to be true! That would be awesome.

Finally, as to the newspaper thief, I'm afraid subtlety isn't going to work with this creep. Go with B) I just watched you steal my paper.

That should scare the hell out of the jackass.

Go, baby!

Number two, absolutely. Get some first-class paranoia and the Fear Of The Kim into him/her!

When you do hear back about interview results??

"I just watched you steal my paper" it is!

I suggest you all do a google search for "stealing my newspaper." Pages of hilarity.

And I hope I hear about the interview soon!

Interested Bystander said...

Awesome! I will be interested in hearing about what effect your note has on this situation.

Also, my very best to you on the interview response. Good luck, my friend!

I'd go with OPTION B, with a small change:

"I just took your picture stealing my newspaper."

With all my love,
Aunty Em

It's in fact very complicated in this busy life to listen news on TV, so I simply use web for that purpose, and get the newest news.

I do not know if it's just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering problems with your site. It appears as if some of the text within your content are running off the screen. Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This may be a problem with my web browser because I've had
this happen previously. Appreciate it
