I had an interview at Target HQ on Wednesday. It went OK. I was told that I would hear something by the end of next week either way. I woke up today at about 1 pm and had a missed call and message on my phone from the Target recruiter's number. I listened to the message and she said I should give her a call back. I was in no hurry. I watched Andy kill some people in GTA4, I had a protein shake (BRO SCIENCE APPROVED!!!) and I took a shower. I called her back and she informed me that they wanted to offer me a position. She asked if I wanted to think it over. Of course I didn't. Now pending a drug test tomorrow, I will have a rather real job in the corporate world.
I am very excited. It has been 3 years and 3 days since I graduated from college. It felt like I would never get something close to a legitimate job. After 14 months at the hotel I put in my 2 week notice today. I will be finished on June 3rd here and will start at Target July 11th. I plan on relaxing those 5 weeks. I am going to head out to California for a week sometime in June to relax and enjoy the weather out there.
Who knows if this is something that I am going to follow a career in. All I know is that it is a merchandising specialist position and it is something different that will allow me to work with other people my age in the downtown area. I am looking forward to it. No I will not miss customer service at all. Though, it has definitely made me a better person and has given me valuable lessons and skills on on you should treat people.

You're Done
It took almost 10 years after 9/11, but we found you, and we killed you. If Pakistan didn't have a corrupt government it probably would have happened sooner.
Bin Laden, you have no idea the badass motherfuckers that we have. Well, maybe you do now because one went wig shopping this morning and murked you. These dudes are beasts of biblical proportions. We will never know the people who did this because they are professionals. They do their shit and that is that. No shitty hand held camcorder needed, no terrible cassette tape recording (I do appreciate the nostalgia though, loved the mix tapes over the last 10 years). They killed you and probably had a beer and then are getting ready for their next high value target. That's just how the CIA/Special Forces operate.
You attacked us and ranted about how our values are so skewed and how our money and liberal ways are why you hate us. Dude, you got murked at a mansion. See the irony? How will your followers feel about that? You are just as fake as any other person in power that doesn't want to get their hands dirty.
I am still extremely saddened for the fact that our troops are in Afghanistan with no end game. Can we please get them home? They are not protecting my freedom in that sandbox.
I had to write something on my thoughts of these events because I got a lot of emotions flowing in over the news.
Basically don't fuck with us. We still got mad swag. Please believe that.

Friday Night
This story is true and happened about 15 minutes ago.
As it stands I only have about 3 fucks to give all week. Most of these fucks are spent on watching a certain tv show or sporting event. Maybe trying to get a run in when the weather is supposed to be bad. What I don't use a fuck for is helping dickheads where I work. I ESPECIALLY have no fucks to give on a Friday night to a piece of shit fat bitch who I already tried to help out.
When you tell someone specific directions and they come back to you saying you were wrong and get all mad, that is not how you treat people. As a human being you should appreciate that you came here (not a guest, just lost), and I told you where to go step by step. Why did you come back here when you couldn't find it? Did you want to try and make me feel bad? Lady, I wish I could display that I have no fucks left to give for this week (or any other week that I work here). But I didn't. I just mini-trolled her.
She stormed out of here, I put the guest who was on the phone on hold and followed her outside. I told her to "Put your mouth on the fucking curb, cunt!" and then I curb stomped her. I said "ma'am!" (no acknowledgment). Once again "ma'am!" (no acknowledgment). Finally on the third try she snaps around and says "I know where I am going". If she wasn't such a bitch to me I would've said OK and gone back inside, but I didn't. I spoke very gently and informed her, very slowly and nicely where she needs to go. She got in her car, slammed the door and drove away. "Have a nice weekend!" I said.
And not a fuck was given all shift long.
The End

A list of stuff (in no order)
1.The Luce Line is dry. Time to run. Hooray.
2.UCONN are champions. What a run they took me on the last month. I was happy to be a part of the journey and happy they won.
3.Applying for jobs still sucks, but boy do I want a new job very badly.
4.Hockey playoffs start next week. The Wild won't be in it for the third straight year (ever since I moved back here they have missed the playoffs).
5.Kickball is less than 6 weeks away. Time to start preseason binge drinking on the weekends.
6.Spring is finally here.

THE FAN HAS SPOKEN
As most are aware I am a very very reader friendly blogger. I stop for pictures in public, I give your chitren life advice, I kiss babies, I do everything to go out of my way to make sure my readers know I really appreciate them. One of my biggest fans wrote a very heartfelt comment about how their life was spinning a little too fast and was a little wobbly at the moment. This reader said his March would be a little better with a March Madness picks column from the Murder Square Guru himself. I will get to work on that immediately. It will be up within 48 hours.
P.s. I am trying to decide what is more overrated; fellow blog Fire Dan Terhaar or Ohio State.
