there is nothing more depressing than wandering around Wal-Mart Supercenter with forty bucks in your pocket surrounded by cardboard boxes and orange cones at 3:30 on a Wednesday morning in October after working a ten hour shift at Victoria's Secret Direct saying this script on at least fifty different phone calls: "(Client's name)We(or I)know you love to shop for yourself and your home. In addition to your purchase today, I can arrange for you to receive $60 in Victoria's Secret rebates good for future catalog purchases. These special rebates are just one part of the exclusive Victoria's Secret Home program, provided by MemberWorks and available with a 30-day risk-free trial offer." etcetera ad nauseum and there is nothing more depressing than saving up all month for a date night dinner out with your husband and devouring the overpriced coconut shrimp appetizer then spying a curly black pubic hair glistening on the empty white platter except for a family vacation in Las Vegas with nickel slots and orange juice for breakfast then a leisurely stroll past the pretty glassed in lion's den on your way to the M&M store which always leads to more nickel slots at Paris or New York, New York then one of those damn tired buffet lunches and a long nap and dinner at the RainForest Cafe followed by an evening with Wayne Newton or John Tesh and hot fudge sundaes for dessert then again there is nothing more depressing than buying a bag of clothes at Thrift Town and not having enough quarters to wash them which results in your apartment smelling like a gerbil cage that hasn't been cleaned out in approximately five years. |
