Our blog on Thursday, featuring Zac's comments regarding who has the best job contained some striking commentary. I was ALMOST convinced his job is better than mine when he reminded me of the hot dog vendors...they are one of my favorite things about DC. However, i thought of a few "perks" he didn't mention. I feel my readers need to know the truth so they are not misled into thinking Zac has the best job.
1) Zac's commute lasts 2 hours ONE WAY, a round trip total (for those mathematically challenged) of 4 hours. My commute is 15 minutes one way. While I may not have any dependents to welcome me home (although I think I will begin lobbying for making pets dependents and I bet I will win in the great state of California; we did elect the Terminator as governor), I am not wasting away my life in a train, bus, and car.
2) DC is HOT. Forgive me for my excessive use of capital letters, but I want it to be well understood that DC is indeed very hot. Prior to it becoming our capital city it was a beautiful plot of swamp land replete with mosquitoes and disease. The swamp is gone but the mosquitoes still torment native and visitor alike.
3) Zac works with hardcore criminals that would drill him in the knee if they had the opportunity (a guy Zac works with actually drilled someone in several locations on his body). Zac thinks this is cool but really he just says that so he can try to sleep at night knowing these criminals are out there and could very well learn of his whereabouts if they ever get out of prison. I, on the other hand, work for a company where we send "love, not like." Over 90 percent of our cards include the word "love" in them. My efforts at work provide opportunities for people around the country to send tokens of love.
4) One of the reasons why I get paid less is so that Zac can get paid. While I love Zac and don't want him and his family on the streets, the simple fact of the matter is that taxpayers don't have to pay to keep me employed. So in other words, I'm not draining society :)
In conclusion, my job is still best, not Zac's.

13 Helens agree.
You forgot that he could fall into the Potomac River and his body would never be recovered. It's worse then the Hutson River. I love DC hotdogs or as they are sometimes called dirty water hot dogs... now you know why they never leave to use the restroom.
Hudson?
That's a lot better then what I had before I spell checked it. I need to work on proof reading posts. I spell my name wrong a lot; like back or blanc. Sorry I'm not Mr. College over here, working to become apart of one of the most hated professions in the US.
P.S. don't playa hate on me, playa hate on somebody else.
She must have missed the free Ben and Jerry's ice cream perk. You can't argue with Coffee Toffee ice cream. You can't because it doesn't have a brain, but it is oh so delish.
i hate driving in DC. nuff said
thats me ------------------------>
i never really noticed my picture shows up on my comments! cool.
Love is over rated any way.
So after I saw 'Batman's comments I thought "maybe he finally added a new post to his blog." Lo and behold he has. Welcome back young Alonzo.
Although I am oh so grateful for the wonderful flowers sent through Alice, I have to admit I don't spend my time bragging to my friends about Pro Flowers. Zac's job on the other hand always gets mentioned. I feel like I'm cool just being associated with him. Plus, I think his crib is so awesome that I'm even moving into his basement. Sorry Alice, but please keep sending flowers :)
I wake up in the morning and I ask myself
is life worth living should I blast myself?
I'm tired of bein' poor & even worse I'm black
my stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch
Cops give a damn about a negro
pull the trigger kill a nigga he's a hero
Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares
one less hungry mouth on the welfare
First ship 'em dope & let 'em deal the brothers
give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other
It's time to fight back that's what Huey said
2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead
I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere
unless we share with each other
We gotta start makin' changes
learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers
and that's how it's supposed to be
How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids
but things changed, and that's the way it is
I've been to DC once...
DC isn't a state for a reason, or a few.
1. 50 is cooler than 51.
2. The crime rate for the 50 states stays lower.
3. so that politicians can break traffic laws
4. it's too ethnically diverse
5. the sewers smell (here in SD, our s**t don't stink!
p.s. is the DC temple even in DC?
DC Temple is in craps-a-holic Maryland. PS I don't mind driving in DC and I saw a few sluts when I worked for Homeland Security and I even saw some while I was in line for Hanson. You have to keep a sharp eye out since they only come out at night. You can't complain about DC when Canada is still around.
Go ahead. It's only 2¢.
