Day Three: Morning beers, afternoon Caucasians, dreams of granduer
Jay is doing better today, despite his predicament. He talked with his cousin and is upbeat about a promise of free golf at Snyder Country Club two days a week. The Jayman has a plan. He has lined up help to get out of Austin by the first of next week. The wheels of change are in motion.
Last night Jay entertained me with his political theories and insight which were slightly harsh on the current condition and rampant depravity. He said, "I just want my 40 acres and my mule, man." He had a few 'Caucasians' at that point in the evening. An intersting point he made was that Janis Joplin was right. Refering to this, quote,
Freedoms just another word for nothing else to lose.
So true brother.
Jay closed the conversation by listing the things he really needed at this point in his life. Several items were mentioned more than once like Scotch, cigars, and 4 cases of beer. I dont understand the emphasis on 4 cases, but Jay is a pack rat.

what happened?
I can sponsor some of the items required.
It seems the 'deity' has graced us with his comment.
Well, Jay has been fired more than a pizza oven, but you have to give him credit. With his work history he still gets rehired elsewhere. I tell you this guy's resume has to be a masterwork of fiction that would make Tolstoy blush. However, you have to give Jay extra kudos for not breaking the pattern:
1. First couple days: This sucks, I was wronged, this must be a message from God, I want to get my life straight, what can I do to do things right.
2. Next couple of days: This ain't bad, I like change. Maybe I could find something else like that job that would allow me to (play golf, use the internet all day to watch Family Guy, slip out of the office whenever I like, get nice furniture) but will leave me just as miserable a year from now as I am now, but would give me a sense of adventure and change for the next 6 weeks.
3. Next couple of days: This may work out for the best, I can take bad advice, make a few bad decisions, spend another couple years getting older with little or no progress, and make the system work for me. Besides, with a new job, new city and new apartment there is always the opportunity to meet NEW worldly girls who I can try to convert, but who will eventually crush me like a Pearl Beer can.
4. One week from next thursday...
"Hey Bunk, I gotta job in (fill in the blank) that is going to let me "get off the grid" in (fill in the blank) and will allow me to (fill in the blank) while (FITB). In (FITB) years I will be in a position to pay off (FITB) and to get out of the system! YEA!
Jay's life is a great MadLibs where only the adjectives and nouns change. But, hope springs eternal.
