Fucking day

What a shitty day, man -- first I get my ass handed to me by one of my editors (not that it wasn't uncalled for, exactly, but what unnerves me is she hasn't called me back after I apologized), and then Greta calls me to tell me that she's pretty sure she's losing her job tomorrow. And that's not all, but I'm in the midst of two stories, so I'll let y'all in on the rest later.

The only things that have saved this day are the fact that I'm just about to polish off my Hickory Farms Cajun Beef Stick and the following, which I wrote about a certain official who keeps doing really bad things in the town of Schererville:

Wait ... what!?? …

Dirtbags. Hope they end up doing time. Hope they end up being married to the 340 lb guy who had the most cigarettes that day at michigan City prison. You go girl!

Guess I should be glad I was out of the office today, huh? Never like to be around for the ass-handing. We’ll have to dish.

Oh, and:

is “Hickory Farms Cajun Beef stick” code for something at your house?

Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

Sheee-it, Ogger. I wish. But alas, I truly meant Cajun Beef Stick.

Of course, when I bought the damn thing yesterday, I should’ve gotten the footlong one; the first thing I said to Greta when I saw it? “That’s not a sausage—that’s a sex toy.”

ROFL! Sick minds think alike.

Hope all is smoothed out soon.

Didn’t we get you a “beef stick” for your birthday? You know, the black one with the suction cup?

Unabashedly,
Dix

Yeah, but Dix? That one isn’t as tasty as a Cajun Beef Stick. In fact, it’s not tasty at all.

Hey, you ASKED.

I don’t even wanna know how you managed to fit that in your mouth.

Shocked and Awed,
Dix

It is the job of a good person to be honest. To be self-aware. To deliberately explore the fault lines of your character and try desperately to not inflict suffering in this strange, ghost-ridden world of worked and fabricated objects. Sometimes the jobs of writer and good person coincide. But more often they don’t. There are way more writers in the world than there are good people.
