I watched a dear friend do that. She waited tables at a restaurant whose main attraction was the more-than-life-sized animated robots of famous Looney Tunes characters. The job is hard enough, but it is transformed when a 7' tall Tweety belts out "Old Man River" in a basso profundo voice every 30 minutes.

Mondo Bizarro.

After mastering that situation, the rest of life's challenges must seem trifling indeed.
 
Wasn't Mongo played by Alex Karas the football star. When he punched out the horse it was hysterical. One of the few movies my dad and I could agree on. You know they took me to see Day of the Dolphin in the theatre. I was like 7 years old. I still hate George C. Scott to this day.

But we all loved Mel Brooks.
 
Sheesh, talk about topical. I got laid off just now, after nine years at the same place.

I am not having a good day. The cats are eying me nervously.
 
Hell.

What world is this in which Chris Coads can have such misfortune befall them?

Send the cats to sleep and drink something consolatory with residual sugar?

It's a terribly unjust world. Unless, of course, you happen to be a fat, pampered housecat with a sense of entitlement the size of Missouri. Then life is good.

Thanks, Mark. I'll be fine, it's just a bit of a shock right now.
 
We're not so foolish as to leave them that opening. The good stuff is all under lock and key, and they don't have opposable thumbs.

Check. And. Mate.

Congratulations, that is really impressive!!. I never survived more than 6 years with the same employer.
Nevertheless, I have a feeling/hope you will somehow survive this temporary setback.

Yeah, shed no tears for me, I'm just getting an early jumpstart on my long-anticipated career as the trophy husband of a nice Jewish doctor.

Any career advice from some of the other trophy husbands out there? What should I expect as I start this exciting new phase of my life?
