I recieved a booklet at work today. It is supposed to help me reach my potential as a member of that particular team.
I wonder what it is about corperate employers that make them want you to feel twelve years old. I have worked construction trades before, as well as a slew of other manly jobs where my boss lives in the same town as me. Never once did I feel like I was a middle school student instead of an employee. I am perfectly capable of understanding philosophies, mysteries, and some religions. I believe I can understand how a warehouse/package store stays in business. I don't need remedial grown-up classes.
The title of the book?
How To Be Orange Everyday
That really is the title to a booklet I'm supposed to carry around in my big, orange apron. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Or drink. Drinking sounds nice. Too bad I have to be rolling into work at 9:30 p.m.
And I do hate drinking a six in the morning. On the other hand, what goes better with my huevos rancheros for dinner than a good stout?
I found the sequel "How To Be Prussian Blue Each Evening From 7.30 to Midnight" much more fulfilling.
ReplyDeleteAnd it went better with my dark blue cowled cape.
A middle school student? You're lucky. The training on my last job made me feel like I was in kindergarten.
ReplyDeleteI found four comma splices, seven fragments, and about four ommited Harvard serial commas. The book is six pages long with no more than three sentences per page.
ReplyDeleteI wonder who's idea it was to hire Dan Brown to write our motivational literature.
I can't wait for the film!
