My exciting day
Car is broken, and I can't work on it because there's a snowstorm (my garage is too cramped and dark to work in). I'm hungry and out of beer, but nearest store is 1.5m away, and they pile snow up on the sidewalks so you basically have to walk in the road. Dont want to do that, it's dangerous with such bad roads and shitty drivers, so I'll have to take the bus.
Stand outside in snowstorm feeling like an idiot. Bus is 15 minutes late. Get to the strip mall where there's an Italian restaurant that sells really good pizza by the slice, but it's closed for some reason. Fuck, I was going to kill time there, since the bus going home doesn't come for another hour (we have a really shitty public transportation system; everybody has cars anyway).
Well, I'll get the beer. The beer I want was just put in the cooler, so it's freaking room temperature. Goddamnit. So what to do now? Restaurant's closed, only other places are overpriced hotels, there's a McD's, but I hate their food. I guess I could go to the hotel lounge and read the book I brought, so I elect to do that. Go there, it's closed too. Fuck it, I'll just walk back.
Trudge thru snow. Just as I get to the closest bus stop, the bus I was going to take passes by. What a worthless bus system we have. Check phone messages. The owner of my previous place of employment left a rambling message asking me to come back, after he laid me off after the new year. My asshole supervisor finally quit after close to 6 months of non-stop bitching about the company. Should I go back? It would solve the unemployment problem, and I hate looking for work (been putting it off for 6 weeks), AND the best of allI won't have to deal with that asswipe Chris on a daily basis. He was the only drawback to a pretty nice job. Thinking about accepting.
They probably dont want to fuck around with the weeks-long process of hiring new people and breaking them in, as they're up in Fairbanks and I'm down here where it's convenient. I think I'll tell them I'll come back if they either give me a bonus up front or a raise. I bet they'll take it.

Anyway, I was listening to the talk radio (KFI) and the host was taking calls. This one guy from watts called in and was going off about the rampant white supermacy in the LAPD and how none of the cops actually life in the community and how he's more afraid of the cops than of the gangs ect. ect.
Finally he says,"Even the word 'officer' is offensive and telling because it is a form of the word 'over seer' that was used on the plantations....."
Then it occurs to me.
It's "Conspiracy Brother!"
