Gainful Employment

Well, the days off sunning myself at Starbucks are close to an end. I have accepted a position with a large office supply retailer. Thanks to federal privacy acts I didn't need to disclose my love for fuzzy boots and my strong desire to own a midget. Thus, assuming my heroin binges and crack usage of late dont show up on the mandated drug screening and no one discovers the corpses of 4 girl scouts in my basement, I will be returning to the ranks of retail management on August 4th.

I have mixed feelings about returning to work. I initially saw my demise with my former employer as a setback and brooded over it for some time. But this opportunity to start over with a new employer has brightened my outlook on the world. New ladders to climb, new challeges to overcome and best of all a different type of customer. Hell, I'm a bit excited about it!

On the other hand, I will miss reading 4 books a week and spending countless hours perplexing baristas who must often wonder how I can spend entire days on their patio. It seems I'll have to return to some type of normal sleep pattern which may prove to be challenging. And wearing pants....pants may be tough.

I will continue to maintain this blog along with other writing projects I've begun undertaking. Hey...you never know, my new employment may become fodder for this little infant blog. Stay tuned, I may soon be boring you with stories from the underbelly of the office supply industry.
