I�m now accepting applications.
Applications for what, you ask? I�m looking for someone who wants a sugar mama. And since no one wanted to be my beneficiary, I�m pretty confident that no one will try for this role either. Today I got an offer from Company #1, and they want to make sure that I have plenty of discretionary cash to keep me from going elsewhere. It�s pretty ridiculous. I have one week to come up with an answer, so I�ll have to put the moves on the other two companies to get the lead out of their asses and let me know how much dinero they�re willing to shell out on me. Although Company #1 had some �bad news� labels, I�ve been assured that my job is secure for at least a year. And simply, if I work there for a year, I can easily once again go six months jobless without any concern. And in a case of counting chickens before they�re hatched, I�ve come up with a list of things to buy once I start getting some paychecks in the bank:
-- An MP3 player Note that I left the pony off of the list. A pony is not an acceptable mode of transportation. It�s no substitute for the el, but a powder pink VW Beetle would be. I will not buy a powder pink Bug. I will not buy a powder pink Bug. I will not buy a powder pink Bug. I will not buy a powder pink Bug. I will not buy a powder pink Bug. I will not buy a powder pink Bug. But a new CRV sure is tempting. I will not buy a CRV. I will not buy a CRV. I will not buy a CRV. I will not buy a CRV. I will not buy a CRV. I will not buy a CRV. I will not buy a CRV. I will not buy a CRV. I will not buy a CRV. I will buy a laptop to replace the one I have here that is barely hanging on. I will buy an MP3 player to help entertain me while running, rollerblading, and sitting on the el. I will occasionally pick up the tab while out with friends. I will build my saving account back to where it was before. I most certainly will not buy a pony when the companies all offer pre-tax spending on CTA cards. Ponies and cars alike are expensive to feed, and Hambone is enough work. So, I at least have an offer to join the ranks of the employed. I�ll let you know how everything else goes when I call up the other places.
Although I place no faith in horoscopes, I did find yesterday's quite interesting: Your self-confidence is likely to skyrocket today, dear Libra. Good news about money could reach you while you're at home, causing family members to want to celebrate. You might be a little tired, but you'll be up for it anyway, as the news gives you a "second wind." Expect a lot of compliments and pride from the members of your household, as well as from others whom you might happen to meet.�
