Well, today, day seven of NaBloPoMo, I nearly forgot. I just got up out of bed to come run and type out an entry.
We watched the election results come in on PBS. It wasn't quite Dan Rather, but it was full of folksy delight and low production values. Just a bipartisan table of men in suits being very cordial to each other and occasionally reading internet results from their laptops. It was nice. We suspect we were the only two people watching who weren't actually related to the five men at the table.
We've reached the point at which I go looking for prompts. And here we have one that I liked that's only three months old. "Take the most boring job you've ever had and write a glowing job description for it." I'm taking out the glowing part and writing more of an employment ad. Because it seems easier.
This is really a hybrid of two temp jobs I've had. One in college and one about four years ago. Both were actually at car dealerships.
