What I’m Playing

 

Just to prove I’m not some soul blackened depressive washing down a cocktail of self loathing and bitterness with the refreshment of heavy duty bleach, I shall make you chuckle!

We have ALL started that new job where they make you watch a goddamn training video. They’re always out of date (rotary phones? Tandy computers? REALLY?) and have worse production values than low grade amateur porn. They are also frequently unintentionally hilarious.

I don’t know who these guys are, but their parody of one of those videos is spot on.

Holy crap. If you’ve ever heard me tell the tales of ‘Phil’ from my time working at a seed plant, the new guy in this video is essentially the same guy. It wouldn’t have surprised me at all if ‘Phil’ had shown up without any shoes on. Of course, he would have stepped on the nails and tried to pull them out, then started quietly asking “Hey, uh…got a little problem here.”

Actually, he probably would have pressed the red button and asked the police to help him with his nail problem.

Oh, and he would have consumed the paint thinner.

Actually, this talk of ‘Phil’ gives me an idea for a future blog post…

    Ha! Shoving the zappy cables up into the ceiling.
    I half-expected him to close the freezer and to see a toddler inside, pounding its fist on the glass.

    Boy, there sure are a lot of things to think about.

    “Do you still want to be a hero?”
    “No!”
    “What have you learned?”
    “When in doubt, push the red button.”

    Awesome.

    Who knew that working at Gas n’ Fuel was such an undertaking? Man.

    I find myself wondering what happened to poor Carlos, though.
