The life of a bum

Wednesday, June 7th, 2006

Despite what she kept saying, Rachel was the first of us to get a job. Sara also started working on Monday. John and I both went in for an interview at the same insurance company and he got the job (at a damn nice pay too). Me? I got nothing. The insurance company gave me [...]

Though there were lots of kitties to choose from, [...]
