Today's corporate "how much for you soul?" interview
Thu, October 20, 2005 - 12:41 PM
I walked into the giant glass building and the security guard asked me for photo i.d.

I only had my old student one, so I pulled it out and showed her. In the photo, I had long hair and an ill-trimmed beard, and a funky scarf. In person, I had a short hair, an immaculately trimmed beard, and a suit with collared shirt.

She compared the two images of me. "Hmmm."

"This is my get-a-haircut-get-a-real-job phase," I commented.

"Welcome to the real world," she replied, and watched me, half smirking half smiling, as I glided by.

Yikes!
"Welcome to the Real World".........ughhh......[[[[shudder]]]]......if only they knew. It's hard to deal with --the things we have to do to get by in this default world. Would have been funny if you showed them some Burningman ID......hahaaa.....genital ID or something....can you imagine?!!

Did you get the job?

If people carried genital IDs I'd be all about getting the job of being security in charge of checking them.
