God is a Comedian

Dear God,

You really are a card.  Remember that deal we made freshman year?  I was a slave to H&M and we decided after I got my degree I would not be like the people I worked with.  (OK maybe I decided that myself).  Anyways, remember them?  I'm sure you do seeing as you're God and all.  One of them had a degree in human resources and the other one was qualified to be a nurse.  I don't know why the HR guy worked there, but I know the one who was qualified to be a nurse didn't pursue a job nursing because she would have to take a drug test if she was a nurse, and that would interfere with a few of her lifestyle choices.


But I made (mostly) good decisions.  I studied really hard.  I even went to summer school to load up on extra classes.  I did pretty well.  And everyone said I'd get a good job because I'm "smart."  I never thought I was smart.  You and me both know I'm just really good at memorizing things.  But if enough people tell you something, you start to believe it.

So God,  I think you're having a laugh right now.  It must have been pretty funny to watch me blubber my way through my interview for a grown up job last week, pretending I'm an adult with my Sarah Palin hair and my Sarah Palin business suit, but none of her confidence - even though I prayed to you 72907123 times before I walked through that door.

 And today, I go to drop a resume off at an Italian restaurant chain, at a job I barely want, and a guy wearing a TAZMANIAN DEVIL tie interviews me.  Look, I know he is one of your children and all, but seriously, a tazmanian devil tie?
And I'm supposed to work FOR him?  Assuming I get the job, which I'm pretty confident I did.  That's great.  Thanks for helping me live up to my potential.

Love,
Kelly

ps.  I'm just kidding, God.  I do appreciate the potential source of income if I get the job.

  1. A little funny, and a little sad that Sarah Palin has become somewhat of the poster-child for the 'business woman' look.
    Hope the job search works out for you. Tough environment for the hunt these days.

  4. this is quite possibly the most brilliant and hilarious thing i have ever seen. i burst out laughing at the nurse. plz tell me you got that picture when you were on the job and then posted it anonymously from the h&m fitting room causing it to infiltrate the 'nets to this day.

    *i.am.gasping.for.air*

    humility is a biznatch. i remember one time i owned this daycare and had several women who were dealing with domestic violence issues and i could never understand it. i was this big domestic violence advocate in the community as a result. and then 2 years later found myself with a finger mark on my arm. funny how God teaches us about ourselves.

    At least you might only have to work for someone in a tasmanian devil tie...I may have dated his brother VERY briefly.

    I'm completely fine, but your story totally made me think of that stint in my life.

    How did you keep a straight face??

    GF come on back to the motherland and get your jalapenos!! Did you know when you eat spicy foods it releases endorphins in your brain that try to cheer you up b/c spicy = pain so your body kicks into overdrive to lift you out of it? I've been eating habaneros lately. Can you say fire??? Get a crate upon your return in case of tasmanian devil!! mmmmmkay sarah palin? (seriously almost peed my pants)

    xoxo,

  5. Those pics were classic! Nice hunting.
    Too too funny.

    I hope you get the job even if your soon-to-possibly-be-boss makes somewhat questionable life choices. Because let's face it. A Taz tie is a LIFE CHOICE.
