I relate to CONAN!?!?!

Upfront and for real.. I have no love for Conan O'Brien.

I remember the first time I watched his show in it's entirety... it was the beginning of September 1996, the night before I left for college, while packing up all my crap (i'm a procrastinator) and watching Jars of Clay (cause I love them. ;-))

and I watched him some through college, but then it got really lame, quite repetitive, and just not my cup of tea.. and then he said and did some things that made me really angry, but that's neither here nor there.

I think I can relate to him in this whole job thing. He's waiting to be fired.. he knows it's coming, he knows they're kicking him out, and it's just a waiting game. I felt the same way last summer. I was hoping my boss would get the can before I did, but alas, that didn't happen.

Seems like he's kinda the same way.

But as similar as things are, it's still different. At no point did I ever hate the company I was working for. I never, EVER, wanted to say bad things about them. Maybe my direct supervisor, my district manager, sure.. but she wasn't really a true representative of the company as a whole. He, i'm not so sure is in the same boat.

He's going to get paid to leave.. he's going to get money taken away if he says bad things about them. As for me, I would have taken a pay cut to stay and never in a million years would dream of saying bad things about that company. In fact, I still recommend them to people on a nearly daily basis... I frequent, as often as possible, another branch of the company, that isn't the one i directly worked for.

wait a minute.. there's not a lot the same at all...


except that getting fired sucks, no matter what.

He's still a bit of a jackass, and I can't watch him much anyways..
