I have not always been a bum and a mooch. At one time, I was gainfully employed doing tech support for a major computer manufacturer and making fairly decent money (for a young woman who was not college educated). Then, they "restructured the department" I worked in and phased out my job. Before that I worked for several temporary agencies, a donut place, and before that, a major hotel chain, a dry cleaner, a fast food restaurant, AT&T, and a small shop called Ben Franklin.
These places all have something in common, other than the fact that I worked there. They are all out of business now. Either the location at which I was employed is gone, or in at least one case, the entire company shut down. It seems that having me work for a company is essentially a death sentence.
If it had only happened at two or three places I would think it was merely a coincidence, but eight? What lesson am I supposed to be learning from this? That I should not work for other people? That I should not work? That I am not worthy of earning money and taking care of myself? Or is it that I am just so fabulous that the company cannot survive without me? (LOL, yeah, right!)
So, I have to get back to work now. We have friends coming in tomorrow and I need to finish washing the dishes and clean out the "guest" room for them, but I wanted to take a short break and share the musings that have been entertaining me while I have been working this morning.
Gratuitous silliness
