Chick-fil-A

(My eldest son is returning to the world of chicken.)

Last night, I called Ken using Facebook Messenger. We talked about his future plans once again. These days, he's living rent free with his Granny in Texas. In fact, he recently quit his old job in order to take a trip to Colorado with his buddies.

I said, "Have you been looking for gainful employment?"

He nodded. "I have an interview with Chick-fil-A on Monday."

I was shocked. "You're going back to Chick-fil-A? Why? Last time, those bastards worked you right to the bone."

And this is true. Ken had a gig there back when he was in high school. They put him in the rear of the store cutting lemons for hours at a time until the poor kid's fingertips started to burn due to the acid in the fruit. He told his manager that he could only work twenty hours a week because of his age. Yet they kept throwing him 33 hours in spite of his protests. It was a real shit show.

He said, "The team leader makes good cash."

"How can you possibly be the team leader? You're going back to college in a couple of weeks."

Ken shrugged. "Who knows? I'll find a way to make things work. Try not to worry."

"Don't over tax yourself. I've been researching this hospital administration plan of yours. Those guys have the potential to make huge money. You shouldn't throw that away over a chicken sandwich."

"Things will be fine."

"One of the guys who reads my blog says that hospitals are filled with homosexuals and bitter cat ladies."

"What can I do? I need to make a living."

"Just be careful what you say. The woke crowd is highly sensitive. No off-color jokes if you value your life."

He changed the subject. "What about you? Are you coming back to America?"

"My mind is very weak. I can only handle one thing at a time. First, I have to finalize the divorce with your mother. Then I'll be able to make a rational choice."

"I think you should return to the States. You're not a Korean."

"Time will tell. But I'm going to save some cash to visit you in the winter regardless of my final decision."

I read the bible. I'm currently studying Romans. It's an epistle written by Paul to the gentiles in Italy. Romans 13 is actually very controversial. Paul says that we should always follow the rules of society because government is a common grace for both believers and unbelievers alike. And I happen to agree. Could you imagine how crazy the world would be without leadership? You wouldn't be able to walk down the street without some mentally impaired motherfucker smashing you on the head with a pipe.

I went to bed at one a.m. and slept like the dead. Then I woke up at 8 a.m. and smoked a Marlboro Red while sipping on a cup of hot coffee. After that, I took a nasty shit as I read the headlines on my smartphone. Korea is currently suffering from a huge heatwave. In fact, it's so hot outside that the weather has even killed a few people. Yet I haven't noticed because I have an air conditioner. It's been running both day and night, so I'm really worried that my next bill might put me in the poorhouse.
