Day 10: Working for Suits

Had job interview today. Decide soul is burning when interviewer says for fourth time, "we're a bottom line corporation, and we're all about revenue." When asked about three-year-plan, skip professional jargon and say happiness. When asked about constant data entry, mention bleeding eyes. Somehow, this makes interviewer laugh and smile; answers are dubbed fresh and honest. Once home, quickly depart on a non-competitive, non-salaried nine-mile run along the lakeshore, where no one is outsourced, makes a business metaphor out of the clouds, or yells directions from speakerphone. Three miles in, get chased by surly Canada Goose with its tongue sticking out. Later, pass a beached, headless pigeon. Take this as sign that A) revenue is for the birds, and B) birds are pretty weird, and also kind of scary.
