Monday, January 7

yesterday i worked at the 2002 Boat Show at the Javitz Center.
my job was to stand in front of the hottest boat of 2002 made by
Cobalt boats ( http://www.cobaltboats.com/main/home_frm.html )
with the interior designed by Coach leather.

I had to ask 7.6 million people (well it felt like that many)
"So where do you do your boating?" and about 7.6 million
'hilarious' people would say, "In the water!" and then they would
crack upand nudge the people they were standing with. I thought
I was going to die.

To make it worse the annoying man from Kansas I was working
with played practical jokes on me all day. He did the 'I'm tapping
your shoulder from the other side' thing which I didn't fall for, he
stole my phone and pretended to be calling someone long distance
on it and he even switched the name tags on our jackets when I
wasn't looking. Wow. I wish I could be as funny as that guy.

Next to our booth was a skinny stick Twiggy model girl who glared
at me all day from her giant yacht. Her boat made our Cobalt boat
look like a tub toy. i watched as tacky Long Island boating men
took photos with her all day and her long haired tacky boyfriend ran
and got her Starbucks coffee. Writing this makes me want to have
a cigarette.

you know what? sometimes i'm so mother fucking bored.
not unhappy bored just fucking bored. when we were kids
we were not allowed to say we were bored. my mom would
go totally nuts and say, 'creative children don't get bored.'
gee. no pressure there. this from the same woman who
would not buy me a Lite-Brite.
