No Ends To My Jerkness

One thing that I love about tmy job at this one grocery store I work at (in fact, it's probably the only thing I like about it) is my personal freedom to create and post comics and other cartoonwork as I see fit. Now, this is not something they really encourage, it's just something I do and they really got tired of fighting.

My latest creative exploit resulted in two young children crying.

Allow me to set the stage: They are currently holding a coloring contest at my store where the winner gets a package of school supplies that is worth about $50. Big whoop. There are two age brackets: 4-8 and 9-12.

Now, what I did was take one of those coloring contests, scan it, and color it in awesome fashion (comparitively). I then wrote some false name to it, and hung it up among the children entries.

Later, my friend Alison (a cashier who was working the lane right next to all of the contest entries) told me that a mother and two children came through her line, saw my entry, and got really upset. "We're not gonna win," the children cried, as their mother tried to reassure them that my post was only a joke.

The mother was partially right. It WAS posted as a joke, but mainly it was posted to crush the hopes and dreams of stupid children who annoy the living be-fuck out of me as I work. If they want to cry, then Goddamnit, I shall provide an adequate reason to cry about.

Unfortunately, this little scene caused the "Desk Wench on Duty" to take down my entry and to THROW IT AWAY! This irked me so much that I dug it right out and hung it right back up. There it remains.

More jerkish tales of lore to follow.
