Workaday Blues

As you may or may not know (most likely you don't, being as you probably don't know me) I have a job. Also, as you probably don't know, my job is at a local radio station. I run it on Sunday mornings and work a few hours on weekdays. It's not a bad job and I rather enjoy it for the most part.

Well, I went to work yesterday and everything was normal. I said "Hi" to the secretary, told the DJ I was there, and went to work. As I was working I got up to get a coke and happened to look into the FM room (thats what I call it I'm sure it has a fancier name though) which is the room that the FM station is run in, and I notice there is someone in that room that I've never seen before. The DJ was in there teaching someone in another seat, my seat, how to run the FM. Well, it was my seat when I was learning, but those days are mostly behind me now. That's beside the point though. The point is, this person might be a threat to my job. At first I dismissed this thought, figuring that since I just started, they wouldn't fire me. Also, logically thinking, they have no reason to fire me. Then a different logic creeped into my mind. This logic said that since this person is obviously out of high school, this person could work more than I could. Suddenly this person was a threat to me once again. So I, being the competitive person I am, started trying to think of ways to rid myself of this problem. My first thought was to let the air out of said person's tires.

"No, 'cause then said person is stuck here and might be put to work, and that would defeat the whole purpose." I said to myself.

"What if I did the opposite," I thought, "What if I filled her tank with gas. It would cost me but if this person leaves my problems are over."

Ah, what a plan I took out my wallet......

Nothing.

"Oh yeah haven't been paid yet," I said.

"Plus if this person has a full tank of gas this person is more likely to use that gas to get back here."

Bad idea.

So I puzzled over this problem and later decided to let it work itself out.

When work was over I walked toward the door. The DJ was standing outside the FM room watching the person leave. I stopped beside him.

"Interested in radio," he said as though he read my mind.

"Oh, ok."

"Turn everything off for me and lets go home." he said.

"Ok."

I turned everything off, went to the DJ's office,told him bye, and left.

I ran into the person in the parking lot. Person was having problems with person's truck.

It wouldn't start.

"Do you have any jumper cables?" Person asked as I walked by.

"No, I don't, sorry." It was the truth.

I chuckled the rest of the way to my truck, and nearly died laughing when I got in.

"Fullback, you worry to much." I said to myself, and drove away singing.

When I heard thunder I laughed again.

I know I'm evil.
