Believe the hype, I'm back in business after Easter! I realize that the second part of that sentence doesn't really go with the first, but I've realized that I need to use the phrase "believe the hype" a lot more. Consider the following:
Believe the hype, Octopussy's lost 1/10 of a pound!
Believe the hype, I've switched from bar soap to body wash!
Believe the hype, skim milk ain't so bad!
If I say it enough, eventually there will be some hype. Somehow, I'll find a way to make money off of aforementioned hype, which will create yet more hype. Do you see where I'm headed with this? We're talking a complete and total takeover of the Internet, all of which I fomented with three little words. Believe that hype!
I shall now doff my cap to my sister, who secured her first real, post-collegiate job today. Come graduation, she's headed to the Prague of the South: Little Rock, AR. I'm excited that another family member will have steady employment, because it brings me that much closer to bumming off of that group for the rest of my life. Push for an immediate raise, and then send me a house key.
Haley graduates in May and she found her job in April. That's good timing; I didn't exactly swing that when I was in college. I graduated in May too, but then I didn't really pursue the whole employment thing that last semester or for a few/several weeks afterwards. Then, when the lease was about to run out and I had 3 or 4 days before I had to move in with my parents, I was suddenly infused with motivation. I'd think it over and then whisper with great determination, "A college graduate can't live with his parents!" Would I have taken a job as an apprentice manure spreader? It would've depended on the firm's reputation and their benefits package, but almost certainly yes.
Then, the day before I had to move, I locked up a good job that had absolutely nothing to do with animal waste. I have both a flair for the dramatic, and for finding non-excrement related jobs. Yes, this has been an odd post.
