half the battle

A discussion came up a few weeks back about various Cobra rapscallions. I had one of those oily old memories bubble slowly up to the surface, straining at the surface before breaking and releasing its noxious gas into my forebrain. It was sure of certain cobra alliances, and so then, was I.

As it turns out, Tomax and Xamot have little to do with Zartan. I was under the impression that they were all part of the same gang. They are not. In the course of my research, I have discovered that the twins were found in the circus and zartan was some sort of shamed ninja/disguise master/swamp-pimp.

bitch, moan, bitch, moan, moan, whine, bitch, repeat.

Oh, enterprise. you seemed so promising. so full of potential. The interview made you seem to be the sort of first sales job that renders well spoken young go getters weak in the knees. 29K a year? Oh my. Performance based promotions? My oh my. Benifeits and a wardrobe budget? Holy tap-dancin jesus, I'm in, I'm on, I'm up for it, take me please!

...Le sigh.

This FABLE, as it turns out, is far from the case. First, the hours. Standard hours are elevn hours a day, minus lunch. Mondays are 12 hours, and you work every third saturday or so. The trick is this - you are paid 8 dollars an hour, and then given overtime pay that rounds it out to a sort of normal salary. For best buy. So, if you miss a day in any given two week period, all of a sudden, you are working from 7:15 to 6:15 for 8 dollars an hour. In a suit.

Full business professional attire, all day long. You are not allowed to roll your sleeves up, and you have to wash cars throughout the day as the needs of renting sees fit.

NOT ALLOWED TO ROLL YOUR SLEEVES UP. what? why? what sort of fucking opus-dei hair-shirt cock ass bullshit is that? IF i were to keep this job (No), I would have to come home at least three times during the day throughout june, july and august in order to change my outfit in its entirety, pants included (sweatstains), and mainline a bunch of fucking cocaine right into my EYEBALL in order to be able to move around for 12 hours a day in an organized fashion.
