This Day I Receive The Coolest Excuse For Not Showing Up To Work Ever

"Hello, Drugmonkey?"

"Yeah, R, get your ass in here, we're getting killed"

"I can't come in today"

"DAMMIT!! What are you doing to me here? I thought we were friends"

"Yeah, well, I just got out of jail."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah"

"Whoa, you mind sharing here?"

"Um, well......I was in a car with some friends, and we were driving through (insert name of affluent lilly-white town full of old people with corks up their asses) and we got pulled over. It was bullshit. And the cop had an attitude....."

"And you got into it with the cop?" I knew R had a temper.

"yeah"

"You fucking rock! Take the day off"

"I'd come in, but I'm kinda tired. I didn't get much sleep when I was in there"

"Don't worry about it. We'll get by"

"Thanks"

So the rich old fucks who called the cops because my tech's radio was too loud ended up having to wait twice as long for their Viagra today than they would have otherwise. Justice, oh sweet justice.

He's a good kid. Plus he's in the Air Force Reserve, which makes him a troop you have to support. Ha ha.

Not a bad day at all really.

I drove all night to get to the Newport Folk Festival, and we got into Newport, RI, at 6 AM. Too early to check into our hotel, the four of us found a secluded place behind a school to lay out blankets and get some rest. Some rich asshole called the police on us. No alcohol around, just four people sleeping peacefully. The officer apologized and went on his way. Yankee bastards.

HAHAHA very nice!
Wish you were MY boss.
I'm taking the Pharm Tech Test
next month so I won't be paid
friggin $7.50/hr.

I read through your old posts
and noticed you went to OSU-
Did you like it there?
Their tuition is suspiciously
low for a College of Pharmacy.
Anyways, I'm going to be applying
for class of 2008 or 2009- which means by 2012
I can be a drug monkette, just like you! LOL :)

Jennie,

I am the coolest fucking boss in the world.

I actually went to Ohio Northern University, a world of difference in size and expense from OSU.

If I were you though, I would seriously consider an English major.

Definitely not the coolest fucking boss in the world. That would be Jay Leno. He gives his employees a $1,000 for every year they've worked for him!

wow... that sucks... some cops can be like that... they have to kowtow to the rich snobs who's taxes and donations pay for their bullet-proof vests. and if that means hassling the innocent kids every now and then, they do it.

what a shame.

you're a cool boss for that though. would cooperate make a stink over this?

Call me next time and I'll bail you out of the joint, or better yet, I'll send you file baked inside of a cake.

Your Mama.

Ummmm ~$42,450/year?! You got royally ripped off. Our in-state tuition is $20,096, according to the website. And the state has this program to keep the top ranked students at in-state colleges, so I got full tuition + room and board for my first 4 years. And since I'm living off campus next year, they're giving me the room and board money.. so technically I'm getting paid to go to school..

Okay I'm going to lay off the archives for a while. I think I just forced you to go on a little road trip down memory lane.
