Office Work...In a Store! What Next?

Well, thank heavens, it looks like all is not lost. Just a coupla weeks after I was fired from Liggett Real Estate, I found a new job! I applied for an office position at my local Mervyn's, and I was hired in what was kind of a group interview. I made sure to speak up and tell everyone about my experience as an administrative assistant. The supervisors there were very impressed, I could just tell. I did so well!

So after that was all over, the manager, Shelley, took me aside and asked me if I'd like to work in the store's office! I told her I'd be honored to share my talents with the company. She said that a few details had to be finalized, such as my pay rate, but it shouldn't be more than a week before I start my new job!

Accordin' to Shelley, my pay will be determined by considering the rates of my previous jobs, so I have a feeling that I'm going to be hitting the ground running with this position! Yeah, I know that I'll have to tighten the ol' pursestrings this month 'cause of gettin' fired and all, but I'm sure that everything will get back on track as soon as I get my first check.

Thanks so much, God, for gettin' me this new job, and helping me get back on my feet. Miracles really do happen, ya know? Some people don't think so, but I know that they do. I'll be back real soon with a report on just how great things are goin'! So long! See ya later! Bye bye! O, sing us a song, you're the Piano Man....

It Ends With Silence

What, were you expecting a war?

The boldest closing I have ever seen just socked me in the stomach.

I feel like I can't breathe, I'm so overcome. I want to cry, and I want to smile.

It is genius. There is no other word for it.

With all enemies defeated, and invincible horrors closing in, the screen goes black as a new hope makes the effort to show.

And he's been waiting for her. That's all we need to know.
