Well since you put it that way

Three score and a few posts ago I mentioned that God had opened the heavens and showered me with a job. But I didn't tell you what the job was.

I have applied for a barista position with Satan's Coffee Makers, Starbucks. And didn't get the job. I applied for a front desk position at a pet store. I didn't get it. And soon, I started questioning my worth as a person.

Until suddenly, the heavens opened, a bright, blinding light eminated from the skies, and a booming voice called out, "My son, you have shown true patience and perseverence. You have begged and borrowed to pay your rent and for that I shall reward you with a job I know you know how to do. You, my son, shall get a job in an ad agency." And so it came to be.

I received an offer from a teeny, tiny agency out on the east coast. I shall neither mention the agency's name nor the city for there are criminal elements out there. I fear they shall hunt me down and slander my good name.

But once again, I shall find myself in the very industry I have worked in for the past ten years. And what shall I be doing? Well, I lie for a living. No, I'm not a lawyer. Although, in my profession, I don't contribte much to society either. In fact, they say my profession REFLECTS society. Jesus, that is scary!

Oh well, God made it happen so I'm sure it's not all bad, right?!
