Now, I know I'm probably preaching to the choir here, but my current job is the most mundane, unentertaining job I could possibly have during the summer. Am I out being a lifeguard, catching some sun and impressing the ladies? No. Am I working at a car dealership because I love cars? Nope, sorry. Am I the proprietor of my own lawnmowing business, because that's what kids are supposed to do during the summer? If only. No, ThatGuy is sitting at a computer desk, scanning notes for eye operations. Tomorrow, I might get to pick up lunch for some doctors. The day after, I may have the privilege of driving my car 100 miles to drop off some medical supplies at a remote location in eastern Tennessee.

It's not all bad, because I've got a great boss (she used to be my neighbor), I like most of my coworkers (even though they're all middle-aged women and doctors, ha), I've got a very flexible schedule, and the pay is good for a summer job, but good grief, my brain is crying out for stimulation. A guy can only go so long sitting at a quiet computer desk (with the occasional sound of a scanner) before losing it.

I'm counting on you all here at GRB to keep me entertained. Don't leave me hanging.

Dude, I've done that for 8 years. You won't catch me feeling sorry for you!!

Right, like I said, preaching to the choir.

Cut me some slack.

Used to be your neighbor....wait, not the crazy neighbor, right?

Oh, god no. We have things like garlic and crucifixes to keep her away from our house, and there's no way we'd field a call from her (thanks, caller ID ), so I don't think there's a way for her to offer me a job. As far as I can see, she doesn't even work. She just tends the ugly forest in her backyard while contemplating ways to piss everybody else in the neighborhood off.

Is this your unique way of entertaining me?

TG, you'll have to admit, there are worse things to do than driving a 100 miles through East Tennessee.

That's awesome. I wouldn't want to be a trucker, but going on a 100 mile roadtrip as part of my job? That's amazing.
