New Job Opportunity

From August 08

" 'Your job is to focus on my personal happiness, she said. And I've got big plans, so break time is over.' " — Brian Andreas, Storypeople.

I cracked up the first time I read that. I think many of us, both genders, sometimes actually think this, but never articulate it. Not even to themselves, but the expectation is still there.

It is the epitome of being self absorbed. But then again, isn't that just one job one takes on when one becomes someone's lover? Making that person's happiness a priority to them?

Trick is, if you apply for that job with someone, if they aren't applying for that job with you, know to turn it down.
