Find the Few

The other day, Mike and I wanted to close the blinds because we were going to play Lego Pirates.
Don't judge. (Mark)
Earlier that day, I had yanked them far, far above so that I could let in natural light. Later on, however, we could not get them down.
Even with Mike's muscly arm strength.
Even with my big guns that I don't work out but apparently still have.

Mike: "Hey. You broke the blinds."

So I went to the only place I knew where to go: the Internet.
I searched for how to fix blinds that were stuck, and there were some really REALLY funny but EXTREMELY inappropriate answers. The following was my favorite:

"Punch it in its stupid blind face. It'll never see it coming."

I love funny internet people.
But instead of punching the blinds or doing other suggested, sordid things against the glass, I decided to whip out my WD-40 and spray it up its b-hole.
(that stands for blind-hole)

And it totally worked.

Mike: "Hey- remember that time you broke the blinds?"
Me: "Hey- remember that time I fixed the blinds?"

True story.

And for those of you wondering, here is how my job search is going:

This is me:


And this is them:


The controller literally told me, "We don't need someone with a masters degree in this position."

So I'll be taking my business elsewhere where it is appreciated.

  2. So what do they want, someone with an art degree? Maybe they should be checking the local McDonald's...

  3. They wanted someone with an accounting degree, but couldn't even pay me twice minimum wage to do a customer service job.
    **And an accounting degree (esp. with 4.0 GPA) is worth at least three times minimum wage. It's like they didn't even care about my credentials. If I'm going to defer grad school, it better be for a ballin' position.

    Just sayin'.
