Boy, I realize trying to get a job in this economy I have to have my wits
working double time. A local newspaper was looking for a news reporter. I knew
that was something I could do, and landed an interview. There I was folks,
sitting in front of a chunky interviewer who obviously couldn’t see out of her
horn-rimmed glasses as she kept her steely eyes on me by glaring over the top
of them, but I ignored that by winking at her. I figured her problem was she
was jealous of me, you know my good looks and all.
She said she didn’t think I
suited the job, as I had no resume (whatever that is), but she was obliged to
let me write an article. She warned me that the story had to include the 5 W’s
of journalism: who, what, where, when and why.
I told her I wouldn’t have a
problem with that as I was always firing questions at my Clem like - who he was out with, and what he was doing
that was more important than me, where he had been when I had been calling and
why he didn’t answer. This seemed like a
simple assignment to me. I began to
write what I thought was the clincher to my getting the job. You be the judge.

Sound familiar? I’m tired of this daily report in our newspapers. Do I need
to hear this? I’m faced daily with my own doom and gloom statistics.

Enough is
Enough!
I’m tired of dieting, pills, fat farms,
exercising, and everything that goes with trying to stuff this size 18 into a
beanpole size 12.
I see all the advertising. Who are they
kidding? The last time I saw hips that size was when I measured one thigh. How
about those slinky dresses with no back? I too, used to have a slender,
unwrinkled back, just like those models, but as I grew older, I developed those
gorgeous “love handles”.
How about exercise videos? I sit and
watch those Skinny Minnies trying to convince me that exercise is good for me.
All that jumping is bad for the eyesight! I do sit-ups and that is enough. Each
morning around 3 a.m., I sit up, get out of bed and go piddle. The next time my
body is conscious is when the alarm goes off and wrenches me up from a deep
sleep. I then get dressed and take Cranky Cat for a walk.
I even tried pool fitness at the Y in
town. I now know what six lashes with a wet noodle means. I took a round foam
pole with me to keep me afloat, (they called it a noodle).
This thing was a contortionist! If I
sat on it, the thing buckled and came up between my legs, while pinning my head
underwater. I was mugged, punched, and dumped by this thing. I wasn’t fit to do
anything after that outing!
Enough is
Enough!
