Carl: looks like I got the a-ok to come back to CRAL
CRLA
Carl: you must be shining your spoons and getting ready to hit the road
Prest: nice, but I thought that new job you got was permanent
Carl: turns out it isn't!
Prest:ah
ya, Im counting the minutes
Carl: it runs sep to june, so if they do a rehire thing I might be zip zap snip snip done with wonderin'
Prest:when do they want you back at crater
?
Carl: june thu sep or longer
Prest:getting totally bummed with being back here in fl
Carl: yeah, you went there for responsible reasons
never the best pre-req for a lifestyle
Prest:true
Carl: you shoulda been like, "I'm going to Japan! Can you believe it-- Japan!"
Prest:if only
Carl: then we would have been mightily impressed
maybe after this summer we can go woofing around Japan
Prest:Just gotta make sure to buy absolutly nothing at all this summer, and eat only mcdonalds over there, which im sure is stil really expensive
Carl: but the radiation will give us growths we can remove and eat at our leisure
Prest:I didnt think you were capabke of grossing me out, well done sir
Carl: hahaha I always have a few wrinkly remarks to wag at people on my favorite street corner
Prest:you talk to steve at all? he think hes coming back? Probably not at the same job
Carl: yeah, I asked him when I told him I was coming and he didn't answer
maybe he is confused about where I am talking about
Prest:hes generally confused
Carl: maybe he is high on goofballs
Prest:and vagina
Carl : ha ha well? I guess you get oxygen deprived-type high when you're jammed up there too long
Carl: he'll get hooked on that, and ten years from now they'll find him hanging naked from a belt like that kung fu guy
Prest:hahahaha
You still hanging with sarah?
Carl: ha speaking of hanging...
yes indeedy
Prest:ha!
she wanna go back too?
Carl: damn her, she is taking on so much between school and work, I think she will never be free before 6 or 7 pm
Carl: she wants to, but she is scared that a veteran will take her place
but I have to be strong... I am saying yes and planning to come back no matter what, for a whole ton of reasons
but a lot of the interp people who said they weren't coming back, like assholes, are coming back
especially your unwanted life partner Brian
said he was done for good and all last year, and is already broadcasting the good news that he plans to come back
Prest:jiminny crickets
I guess he didnt get that sierra club job
Carl: and the old timers said it was too hard doing cleetwood and they were done, but they will probably be back too
Prest:What job is sarah worried about a veteran taking?
Carl: one of the paid positions
she was a volunteer
and she does not want to do that again
even though she has volunteer rehire status...
can't say I blame her.
Prest:gotcha
ya, fuck that shit
Carl: but still, living for free in a place like that, I think is worth 1000 a month
and 20 bucks a day times thirty... ehhh that comes to 1600 of income a month
that's the type of imaginary math that has gotten me where I am now: happy, but only because of imaginary purchases
such as "I could have used a taxi instead of walking: I just made ten dollars by walking to the store."
"Time to buy whiskey."
Prest:You are right, It doesnt make a lot of sense
Carl: man I will just be glad to have on-site laundry again. God, city living wears on the soul and the personal smell
Prest:but really, it makes no cents
Carl: yeah, but it makes "know" sense
Prest:touche
Carl: then you are wiser, and wisdom is wealth, and here's to your health
haha touche, nobody says that out loud anymore
Prest:Im not nobody dammit, I am someone!
Carl: you need a platform: The Florida Nightly News
Prest:Rush Limbaugh broadcasts down here
Carl: "it's time to reach in the 'Touche-bag' with Preston Marfuta"
then you tell a funny zinger-type story
over here it is Cesar Chavez's transgender grandson, Ramos the Anarchist Manservant
