No Fireworks « moot point: (theoretical) monomania

No Fireworks

"I'm sorry I've been so mopey lately. It can't be very much fun to listen to me whine."
"So now you feel bad about feeling bad? You're feeling bad twice about the same thing."
"I know, and that just makes me feel worse. It's self-perpetuating."

After displaying my most defeatist side and explaining how every so often the worst possible thing in a specific area of your life does happen, I lucked into two sales in the first hour of work this morning, which covered my whole day's telemarketing quota. In other words, I'm not fired yet.

It's not so bad, I get to talk to people all over the country every day.

"Bonjour?"
"Parlez-vous anglais?"
"Non."
"Non? Alors, vous probablement ne voulez pas un journal en anglais..."
"Non, au revoir."
"Merci beaucoup, au revoir."

(This is me trying to see the bright side.)

I'm not even trying to stay hired, just putting in as many hours as they'll let me and I keep lucking into making my quota. Whatever.

There is no bright side to leading a loveless existence. Even if one carries one of those big Maglite flashlights. Or maybe a Coleman portable torch. Those are nice.

If there's a goal that everyone remembers it was back in old seventy-two. We all gripped the stick and we all pulled the trigger, but al I remember is sitting beside you. You said you didn't give a $%^& about hockey, well I'd never seen someone say that before. You took my hand and we walked home the long way, you were losening my grip on Bobby Orr.

Get fired. It feels good. Apparently I'm pretty close to getting fired. One of the guys I work with doesn't really like me. He's trying to make me fail. Whatever.
