I got the job
Well, at least I think I did
They want me to lower my hourly pay, which is fine
But for a certain job I was supposed to deliver a product demo today
I did, and made it
This was tough, because every person in the room was playing a "role"
And each role was designed to catch me off guard
And I didn't crash under pressure
I wasn't the best
But I didn't crash
So now I get to start
They say I need a lot of "work"
Fine
They will provide that work
At this point it is all about pay
And I am willing to lowball, for the opportunity
Maybe I'm playing this wrong
But, Japanese company, Japanese rules
It is what it is
Why didn't he demand excessive wages, two hour lunches and a 15 minute break every hour? I'm sure the company would have complied.

I see long employment in your future.

How do you lower your hourly pay when you are unemployed?

Why doesn't the possible #02 Top DUmmie of 2011 tell us what his job is?
It sounds rather, uh, not a great job if he's not telling us about it.

What happened with the "Scandinavians"?
Betchya it's some kind of sales gig, demonstrating product for wholesale, and a drug screen isn't required.
He don't make it 30 days and they can his butt, toot sweet.

I figured it was one of those jobs where you have to go to a Holiday Inn by the airport to attend a seminar before being hired.

Perhaps he has a job at BJ'S holding out plates of food for the customers to taste test.

That statement is just oh so wrong.
You should use job and BJ when referring to a DUmmy in the same sentence. It may have a literal meaning.

Same diff. Both imaginary.
