COWORKER: So how long have you lived in Harvard?
ME: Only about a month.
COWORKER: Well, there are a whole lot of Mexicans here.
ME: Wow.
COWORKER: I'm not being racist. I just thought you should know.
So I got a real job. But it is so humiliating that I refuse to tell any of you what it is. Just know that I have absolutely no standards anymore. On the plus side, Martin is paying me in comics. Look at the awesome MySpace I designed him!
Anyway, I am very excited about my job even though it blows because:
a.) I got to sit all day and watch ridiculous harassment videos that apparently don't work because of the aforementioned racism. My favorite part of the harassment videos was a tie between these two exchanges:
-EMPLOYEE #1: Hey, where's Jose?
-EMPLOYEE #2: He's probably taking another of his siestas.
and
-EMPLOYEE #1: Do you want to play a game of basketball at lunch?
-EMPLOYEE #2: Sure. Let's ask that new black employee from the warehouse.
AWESOME.
b.) I will be getting actual moneys which means no more debt and getting to visit home + Karel!!! My cousin Nikki also just moved up to Chicago and I'm going to go see her this weekend, but there's two problems in that she wants to go to the Pride Parade, which horrifying, and also she's distressed because the only friends she made since she's moved up were recently robbed at gunpoint. So I can't wait to visit her neighborhood!
So all in all, I think this best describes my current mood:
Oh, fat kid playing drums. How often you've brought joy back into my life.
