			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1496" title="got_mlk" src="http://andthisismyamerica.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/got_mlk.jpg?w=400&#038;h=499" alt="got_mlk" width="400" height="499" /></p>
<p>So it&#8217;s Martin Luther King Day and where am I?  Sitting at home with a hot titty in one hand, a cold beer in the other?  NOPE.  At the local dive shining a bar stool with my ass?  WRONG AGAIN&#8230;  You faggots guessed it, I&#8217;m at work, shoveling shit!  Not precisely what Doctor King had in mind for me I&#8217;d say.  I never actually heard his &#8221;I Have A Dream&#8221; speech in its entirety, but if his dreams are anything like mine, they revolve around mountains of cocaine, lottery winnings, fast cars and an incredibly intoxicated <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/stojanoskislave/RyjaGxHw_-I/AAAAAAAACVY/3TbckRAh4pk/2006-05-22-Elisha.Cuthbert.HQ.17.jpg">Elisha Cuthbert</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_1499" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 415px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1499" title="elisha3" src="http://andthisismyamerica.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/elisha3.jpg?w=405&#038;h=253" alt="Good God Almighty" width="405" height="253" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Good God Almighty</p></div>
<p>But enough of this dream bullshit, I live in the real world, and in the real world my skinny ass is working.  Well working, writing this jackass post and staring longingly at that sweet photograph I posted above.  Elisha sweetheart, I&#8217;ll possess you one day.  Bitch, I&#8217;ll own you like my <a href="http://pinker.wjh.harvard.edu/photos/New_York/images/Williamsburg%20Hasidic%20boy%202.jpg">Hasidic landlord</a> owns my apartment building, inside and out babe, inside and out.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1501" title="work" src="http://andthisismyamerica.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/work.jpg?w=470&#038;h=320" alt="work" width="470" height="320" /></p>
<p>Usually, at this sweatshop I call a job, we get out relatively early on the holidays which <strong>we&#8217;re forced to work</strong>.  I&#8217;m not getting any goddamn OT to be wasting what&#8217;s left of my youth here today, so I like to think getting out a few hours early isn&#8217;t that big a deal.  Of course 95% of my office isn&#8217;t here, it&#8217;s just my team and my boss;  I&#8217;ll call this lanky ovarian cyst &#8221;Reba&#8221; for anonymity&#8217;s sake.  Everyone else has slept in, the streets are empty.  Hell anyone making over $3.25 an hour is in the comfort of their own home, farting under the sheets and pulling them over an unsuspecting lover&#8217;s head.  Everyone laughs, they dry hump for a few minutes then once again it&#8217;s off to dreamland.  Not me though.  I&#8217;m here.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1502" title="dante1" src="http://andthisismyamerica.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/dante1.jpg?w=407&#038;h=695" alt="dante1" width="407" height="695" /></p>
<p>Like I said, usually we get out early on the holidays.  But what does Reba, my fucking rock-a-billy dyke of boss do?  She says &#8221;when AND IF, she deems fit&#8221; we can leave early.  Which basically is her telling the staff that we&#8217;re powerless to repel the stagnant waft of her stinking saggy vagina until she feels like putting the lid back on that cauldron between her legs.  I mean what the motherfuck?  Martin Luther King Jr., this poor bastard gets his ass shot off while he&#8217;s trying to enjoy a smoke outside his hotel room and for what?!  He dies fighting for civil rights and here I am getting my rectum violated all over the workplace!  I got the system&#8217;s foot so far up my boney white ass I got a Nike swoosh tattooed on the roof of my mouth. </p>
<p>Sad days.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://andthisismyamerica.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/office-space.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-438" title="office-space" src="http://andthisismyamerica.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/office-space.jpg?w=420&#038;h=281" alt="" width="420" height="281" /></a><br />
I just got back from a 95 minute lunch break.  Now my job isn&#8217;t anything special, in fact it&#8217;s downright shitty, so if you think I work in the type of place that allows for a 95 minute lunch break you&#8217;re dead wrong.  But on days like today I sometimes can&#8217;t help but escape from the office in the middle of the afternoon and seek refuge in the cosy confines of a cheap bar.  Not Flingers, or Chotchkie&#8217;s, or any of the other fictitious TGIF-esque eateries of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0151804/">Office Space</a> fame.  Nope, the place I went to was a small dumpy haven known as <a href="http://www.desmondstavern.com/">Desmond&#8217;s</a>.  Now don&#8217;t get me wrong, I LOVE Desmond&#8217;s, despite it being a dump, because it&#8217;s my dump.  It&#8217;s brightly lit, which is uncommon for a bar, and the drinks are as cheap as the waitresses.  It affords me the convenience of near instantaneous obliteration as well as semi-comfortable surroundings reminiscent of a 1950&#8242;s Union Hall.</p>
<div id="attachment_439" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 320px"><a href="http://andthisismyamerica.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/1975hoffa.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-439" title="1975hoffa" src="http://andthisismyamerica.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/1975hoffa.jpg?w=310&#038;h=357" alt="Desmond's was good enough for Hoffa" width="310" height="357" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Jimmy &quot;Desmond&quot; Hoffa</p></div>
<p>Now, anyone who knows me personally, understands that I&#8217;d sooner spend 95 minutes trying to fish my apartment keys out of an outhouse shitter than spend it sitting at my desk.  I&#8217;d rather do anything than sit at my desk.  If <a href="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b47/bpenry/Lumberg.jpg">someone</a> came walking into my office right now and said, &#8220;Attention!  We&#8217;re gonna need everyone to form TWO LINES, the line on the LEFT is for lube-less prostate exams.  The line on the RIGHT is to continue working&#8221;.  Which would you choose?  Because I&#8217;d choose the ass fisting.  That&#8217;s how much I hate it here.  I&#8217;ve got a serious case of the Mondays, and since I&#8217;m a bitter motherfucker, I hope you all do as well.</p>
