FTS part deux

A friend of mine just reminded me of a blast from the past moment I had yesterday. My oven went on the fritz a couple of days ago and so my kind landlord decided to replace it with a new oven instead of calling a repair person. So he phones and says he is on his way and a friend of his is going to meet him at my place to help. So the fellas show up and the friend has a kid in tow whose job is to hold the wrench. Anyways they're carrying the stove in and I think to myself I know that guy, so i say are you so and so and he says yep, I say I'm unemployedindsm and he says that doesn't ring a bell, sorry I'm bad with names and faces. I was glad he didn't remember that he and another friend of mine ended up at my parents house about 17 years ago while the units were out of town and that he made a smoking apparatus out of an apple, we smoked and then he wanted my friend and I to make out whilst he watched. We asked him to leave. So anyways the oven is swapped -out with the old and in with the new, but it's not going smoothly so I have some time to look over the new range and I notice that there is no temp gauge on the oven. Nothing says warm 200 or 350 etc. I say to my landlord so I'm supposed to put a cake in the oven and hope it's warm enough? Then i say that this would be fine if we weren't in the 21st century, and I was cramming logs into the oven and lighting it on fire and cooking a hog on a spit, but I'm not gonna do that because it is 2008. He laughed and then sighed and maybe cursed then said he will get another replacement but that he cannot return for a couple of days. So I am eating toast and coffee.

FTS

I can't believe I am still unemployed? Prior to hooking up to the www I was using the computers at the library and I applied to big brown to be a seasonal helper, which took an hour to semi-fictionalize a checkered 10 year work history for them to promptly say "no job interviews available at this time" when at the beginning of my long slog through the application it said "wanted helper in dm" WTF? So pissed. So bored. Not to mention I had to type in my ss# like four times, which wasn't cool. I don't know if the www is a good thing or I could leave it all together, I mean who really wants to read this bullshit about being unemployed in Des Moines. Am I kidding myself that I am interesting? I mean I get my news from the view for fucksake. What I'm not kidding about is that I am still unemployed. Fuck the shit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyxNgnQ9m30

peace out.

Jesse's Embers Hamburger Hangover

I was awakened by the cable guy first thing this morning "I'm on my way". Finally internet service. Thank god as it has been humiliating to go to the downtown library to file for unemployment and buy airline tickets and apply for jobs. my neighbor apparently moved while I was pimping a casino in Neo Holland, and when she moved so did her wireless. alas I can finally youtube a very pregnant Amy Poehler rap. Goddamn that is funny. Check it http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/update-palin-rap/773781/
