 Re: I got a job today!
What was your college degree in? I'd guess Communications, Marketing, or Advertising. Mine was in Advertising. Didn't exactly get a job doing that but oh well.

 Re: I got a job today!
I never realized before Kafka's sisters died in Nazi concentration camps around two decades after his own demise from tuberculosis.
Sad.

 Re: I got a job today!
INT. MANCHESTER BAR - NIGHT
Algren finishes his eleventh pint. He sees a girl come in.
ALGREN Oi, Shanghai! How you enjoy yer eggs: scrambled, fried, or fertilized?
She turns. Their eyes meet.
The attraction is electric.
