The strength of conviction

[stgulik]

At one point in my adult life, I fell into a rather dark hole. One symptom of trouble was, I let myself drop all contact with every one of my female friends. It took a year of therapy and then some more therapy to wend my way out of the hole. I'm sad to say most of the GFs I lost are unreachable now. But at least I can say I found new ones.

As a female friend, I'm not much of a catch  - I forget to return calls and I give terrible advice - but I make every effort to love them as they deserve, and I think I'm getting the hang of friendship again.

I only mention because one GF called last week and exhorted me to apply for this particular job. We're talking a high-profile, corner office job! I barely qualify for it. Yet on the strength of her conviction, as well as a deep-seated need to commit insane acts of bureaucracy, I've delved into the archive for one of my resumes and am taking a chance.

This is me! memememememe! I don't forget to return calls, though. I hide from the phone and pretend I didn't ever know they called.

We should all form The Crap Friends' Club. We need a logo, but I'm gonna pretend I don't know that and not make one, then feel a bit like crap for letting y'all down. Yup.

Go for that job, hon. I bet you will kick ass. Reach for that ring!

Thank you, I will go for it! I read your line as "meme meme meme," and sure enough, it could be: the Crap Friends meme!

(And you know, I can't stop thinking about that Life of Brian plot bunny you mentioned a few months ago.)
