"why does it say paper jam when there is no paper jam? I swear to God, one of these days, I just kick this piece of shit out the window" -Samir

Finding a job sucks. I've just been fighting with my printer (which is currently eating my resume) and it reminded me of Samir in Office Space. What I wouldn't do for a baseball bat right about now. You know how it goes...the resume making, the pavement pounding, the sycophantic interview process. I have to go and watch a video at my first pre-employment interview. That's right...a 2.5 hour video with a test of my comprehension level promised afterwards. And that's just the first step and I don't get paid for it...

All I really want to do is watch hockey playoffs and hang with my friends. Actually that is all I have been doing since my last exam on Friday. How about them Oilers? Watched the 6th game here my cousin's house and we all had a moment of bliss when they scored 4 goals in the third. There was jumping and screaming and general mayhem. This week I am taking care of the boys because the rest of the family is gainfully employed so they needed some jobless wonder to dog-sit. That's me! Murphy and Riley went in for the ole "snip, snip" and to get their back claw removed and now they have to wear their "lampshades" and let me tell you they are rather pissed about it, and I don't blame them. Poor pooches. For them the misery will be over soon however, I think mine has just begun. So pray I get a job soon friends and here's hoping the mandatory pre-employment video is a gooder and lives up to the Elections Canada video they made me watch twice. Woo. Hoo.

Hey Weeds,
Didn't I ever tell you finding a job is the hardest job you'll ever have? What I hate is the groveling they make you do. Bonne chance.

Song du jour: What about "One" by Mary J Blige and U2?

Yes Willis I recall that statement and once again it is proven correct. I am dusting off my finely honed skills of exaggerated and false respect in order to please the nobody who will pay me next to nothing.
I will keep you posted on the success of my groveling.

Yes, that version of "One" is pretty impressive, is only the live grammy version available?

But have you heard "Touch it"? I put that up there for you. Yes, it is worth the $0.99 download...You'll love it. I imagine GT and Kirny are blaring it in their cars pretending to be gangsta's as we speak.

Goddamn, you weren't lying. Riley is one huge pooper.
