Today I was hired by Mr. Freeper himself. [View All]

Talk about creepy. But at least now I have the grand opportunity to work two jobs this summer. Financially I have been strapped and after several financial disasters decided the only way out of my mess is to either work more at my regular job or pick up a second and I made the latter decision in order to avoid more overnight travels.
Soooo, here I am sitting in this office today while Mr Freeper is proudly pointing out his wall photos with Reagan, Bush Sr, Chimpy; later he points at a list of several speakers at his conferences, and he sorta snickers when he reads Jimmy Carter's. Geez, and I met the rest of the staff, all very freepy-looking, of course; (very pasty, plump and puritan--I was the only latina-like; no other minority in sight) but the job is mine and the money (after the training phase) will be eventually good, and I will be able to be home more often.
For three years now I have been driving around in an old Toyota van with my DU sticker and PETA stickers and "Stand for Peace". As I left the interview and clippety clopped over to my homey van amid the Cadillacs and sedans I knew next time I pull in this parking lot it will have to be in my more conformist Saab which today is in the shop getting prepped for this job. I will wait until I pass the initiation and grooming phase and line up my accounts before I pull in here again with my peace van. Sometime next year or so when I am deeply embedded on the payroll and will care less about the snickers and whispers. Sigh.....,
just another corporate 'ho.
