He's been trying with limited success
To get this girl to let him get into her pants
But every time he thinks he's getting close
She threatens death before he gets a chance

And that's the way it is in minnesota
And that's the way it is in oklahoma
That's the way it's been since protozoa
First climbed onto the shores of california

And she's been trying with limited success
To get him to turn out the lights and dance
Cause like any girl all she really wants
That fickle little bitch romance
That fickle little bitch romance

And that is why a girl is called a tease
And that is why a guy is called a sleaze
And that's why god made escort agencies
One life to live and mace and GHB

And that's the way it is in minnesota
And that's the way it is in oklahoma
That's the way since the animals and noah
First climbed onto the shores of california

Must not be too kind
Stop thinking love is blind
Clench your fists yeah write
"she's just not my type..."

Why all these conflicting specifications
Maybe to prevent overpopulation
All I know is that all around the nation
The girls are crying and the boys are masturbating

And that's the way it is in minnesota
And that's the way it is in oklahoma
That's the way Aristophanes and homer
Wrote the iliad and lysistrata (not in that order...)

And that's the way it is in minnesota
And that's the way it is in oklahoma
That's the way it's been since protozoa
First climbed onto the shores of california

Rancid Rotini Update

Okay, remember that mean letter I wrote to Kraft foods, in protest of the foul product known as Velveeta Broccoli Rotini and Cheese? (Aug. 21)

Well, those motherfuckers promised me a refund.
Instead, I got this:

Thank you for visiting http://www.kraftfoods.com/.

Since we fell short of your expectations, we attempted to send you reimbursement via first class mail, however it was returned to us. In order to resend the reimbursement, we need you to confirm your mailing address. Please reply to this message and include your full name and mailing address. You may also verify your mailing address by calling us toll free at 1-800-323-0768.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you again soon!

Kim McMiller
Assoc Director, GCR Consumer Services


BULLSHIT!
I typed in my address correctly. I'm a flawless data enterer.
They're just dicking me around.
What do you expect from the purveyors of false cheese?

Charles Dickens wrote the script

to my life. And he's laughing his Dickens off.

So today I'm in my cubicle, coughing wildly, dripping ooze from every one of my facial orifaces (orifi?) because well, I'm sick. Have spent the last two days delerious with fever.

After a couple hours, this fucking supervisor plucks me out of my chair, metaphorically drags me by the ear to his office (a cubicle with higher walls) and informs me that I have been demoted for 1. Not speaking clearly 2. Laughing at callers during the interview process.

Um.. excuse me.. I'm SICK!
Of course I can't speak clearly.
And I was not laughing, I was gasping for air!

He said, "You shouldn't come to work if you can't do your job."
I said, "But then I'd be violating the attendance policy and would've been written up anyway!"

What is this? 1890!? Am I that broad from Hard Times who's name I can't remember?

So I was like, "Screw you buddy. I've got a college degree!" (not verbatim, I'm sure I used bigger words). Then stomped off in that righteous way I do so well.

Technically, I have not quit. I'm on a "leave of absence" until the 29th. But I'm certain I'll find something better by then.

And if not, I move home to Wheeling. Yee-haw!

Curious

Describe Allison

I'm curious as to how my self-perception matches up to how you all see me.


More (copied from the site):

The Johari Window was invented by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham in the 1950s as a model for mapping personality awareness. By describing yourself from a fixed list of adjectives, then asking your friends and colleagues to describe you from the same list, a grid of overlap and difference can be built up.

You are reading this page because Allison Quick wants to know how you'd describe him or her - pick the five or six words from the list below that you think describe Allison Quick the best. (You can set up your own Johari Window afterwards, if you like.)
