Food + Work = ...happy?

So I walked out...

...I start these with "So" too much. I'm not Peter Gabriel.

Anyway. I walked out to the Ass Kicking Deli Down The Road, today, and got something to eat. As I walked in the guy at the deli grinned real wide as he saw me and waved me around the counter, and hunched down low. "Order a cheeseburger." he reccomended. So, I did. He slid in free fries and made it a large cheeseburger SUB but kept the "normal" cheeseburger price. People do things like this for me a lot. I'm not sure why. It seems to be just because I'm ME, which is a situation that bugs me a little but... which I accept because people want to give me things. I give them things too whenever I can so I guess it evens out karmaticly, or... something. I dunno.

Anyway, he also pushed an application into my hands and pointed out that the deli's in need of people for the 2 or 4 PM to Midnight closing shift and that I really should apply because I was nearly a sure thing. (They must really need people.)

So I'm going to, of course. I'm tired of being lazy. But it's been a long time since I worked and I'm a little afraid of just plain running out of energy and giving up, or falling asleep, or sleeping through work... all the little things that go with being a fat lazy slob, basically. I'll have to remember not to do that. It'd be... y'know, dumb.

I'm also starting to wonder if I shouldn't look into getting medical treatment for this persistant clinical depression problem. That would also help a bit.

Mostly, though, I'm just fretful because I've been lazy and in a rut so long that it'll be hard to break out. Which is all the more reason to actually do it.

Yay, Employedsqrl!

People at work call me when there's food left over from a meeting or something. I don't have an arrangement for this with anyone, but it happens. I fear it might be that people think that I'm really poor and I don't eat otherwise, which isn't the case, really! (I'm just abscentminded, and I generally don't remember to bring a lunch unless I buy it en route to work.)

first thing, people give you stuff cause your cute and fluffy, its like that with all squirrels. Like where I work... I work at home depot, everyone knows that every home depot in the world (yes, were in canada, mexico, brazil and in 6 months in china) theres a hotdog stand outfront (wich aer not owned by home depot, but are all owned by one company believe it or not O.o ) They give me free things all the time... mmmm, free food is good. One of my vendors buys me lunch now and then (now granted I'm a kitchen designer, so I make ALOT of money for this vendor, and no, its not thomasville, there lazy and worthless and there product sucks, and is very overpriced) Its pretty much if you treat someone well, in a perfect world they will return the favor. Its basically that golden rule thing, or as us pagans call it, the law of three. Whatever good you do will come back on you three folds, whatever bad you do will come bak on you three folds, three times (so nine times). Soo if people are giveing you things, and helping you out, it means your a very good person and you deserve it, so take it. :)

Now as for someone offering you a job, take the job fluffy butt! Don't be affriad, work never killed anyone... well cept that guy who worked for our granite company until he sliped last year an... well lets just say that granite wieghs 20 pounds a square foot, respet the granite countertop. Working is good though, it will be hard the first couple months if you have been out of work a while, but then you will get useda it, then you will have money, and money is good, it means more toys! :)

That's creepy. He's fattening you up, and luring you into the deli late at night when he can SHOVE YOU INTO THE OVEN!

Run away!!!!!

It's good karma. People do nice things because they enjoy having you around. There could also be a touch of Dale Carnegie in it (after all, the deli needs people, the guy likes you, so he bribed you as he gave you the application--not that I'm saying Carnegie ever supported bribery).

Anyhow, I hope it works for you! And I hope I start getting fed free cheeseburger subs someday. :)
