THURSDAY HANGOVER: "I thought I had the market on being me cornered...who knew?"
Okay, I'm having an Identity Crisis of my own. Apparently, now I'm a member of the GOP.
I lamented to a few of you sometime last month that I'd recently been one-upped at, well, being ME, but this is ridiculous. I came home just now, after a long, hard-fought day of Law School to find the strangest mail day of all time(s).
First, I opened up a letter that was obviously from a big d'ahn t'ahn law firm. Okay, a medium-sized d'ahn t'ahn law firm, to find that they truly enjoyed meeting with me at the law school recently, but that I didn't fit into their future plans, and they unfortunately couldn't hire me at this time. "So what, Adam, you get rejection letters all the time." Good observation, my friend, and 'tis true. I mean, I've never gotten a letter from a firm that wasn't a rejection. But the thing is: I NEVER INTERVIEWED WITH THIS FIRM! I mean, I remember submitting information to them (resume, writing sample, etc...) but was never even scheduled for an on-campus interview with them! Who the hell went to that interview? And why didn't he do a better job of playing me?!?!
My other piece of weirdness mail was a new voter registration card from the Allegheny County Voter whatever you call it. I'm willing to accept that I changed my registration back in August when I renewed my license, though I don't recall actually changing. I mean, I had plans to go back home and vote in Hutchy on Election Day. At least it'll be more convienent. But HERE'S the kicker-- it has me registered as a REPUBLICAN! Who the hell pretended to be me, went to the voter registration center place, checked me off as a blackhearted conservative, then headed to my interview with aforementioned law firm? I'm beyond astounded. It PAINS me to be a registered (R) (even though i've voted that way in the past...), but I'm too scared that trying to change now will screw me up for the election. So I must remain an elephant for a week or so. Even though I have a DNC Donkey-Logo mouspad! Does this screw up my travel plans to the Goff/Guglia wedding? Do they even LET Republicans into Massachusettes?
My dad did manage to find the silver lining to the whole shebang though, when he noted that "at least the Republicans will get one less vote than they were counting on."
Well alrighty kids, I'm out for now, it's GAME 7 time. As in "the Game 7 I actually really care about." I have to determine which hat (Cards or Stros?) to wear to Boston next week.
In the meantime, a little advice-- if you want to get a girl to fall in love with you, just tell her that you'd never kick a pigeon at her face. Trust me on this.
Until next time, I remain,
