So I'm unemployed. Goin' on two months. Kinda starting to get me down.
So I'm looking at the job postings, as I do twelve hudred times a day, every day.
There's a posting to be a receptionist at The Athletic Club. I think: "Hey, that would be just like when Tina Fey worked at the front desk at the YMCA."
This is:
a) a sign of an unhealthy obsession with Tina Fey.
b) a really weird attempt to pretend that she and I have anything in common.
c) the worst justification for considering a job EVER.
d) all of the above.
Anecdote of the day:
Sitting in the back of the van at Mackie's, door open, havin' a car picnic because the place was packed. The conversation turns to bodily functions, as it OFTEN does in our family. E declares loudly--
"We're not buying dried apricots for this guy again! (jerking her thumb in the direction of Pop) They make his farts smell horrible!"
--just as a young family walked by the van. The best part was that the wife tried to politely ignore the conversation, but I saw the husband smile knowingly.
You are not crazy. Aim high. Tina Fey was sitting in her apartment wondering, 'what the hell am I doing?' too before she became the icon she is today.
ReplyDeleteyea, I'm saying you're going to be an icon.
DO IT.
