Career Day!
Man, this has been a looooooooooong week.Friday was quite possibly the strangest day of my life.
Some of you may remember Susan's nephew Jerry.
It seems Jerry's class was doing one of those career day things where some kid's dad explains what it's like to be a tax accountant and all the other children die a little inside.
Fun.
Unfortunately, both of Jerry's parents had to work that day.
I'm pretty sure that's ironic.
Anyway, who do you think Jerry decided to ask to take their place?
Since I'm writing this story, the answer should be readily apparent.
I will give Jerry some credit though. He played this one smart.
Had he called me directly, the call would have gone like this:
Dave>> Hello?
Jerry>> Hi, Uncle Dave.
Jerry>> It's me, Jerry.
Dave>> Oh, hey, Jerry.
Dave>> What's going on?
Jerry>> I was wondering if you could come to career day for me.
Dave>> Yeah, Dave's not here right now.
Dave>> Not sure when he'll be back.
Jerry>> Uncle Dave?
Dave>> Shouldn't be too long.
Dave>> I'll tell him to call you.
Jerry>> I know it's you, Uncle Dave.
Dave>> No hablo ingles.
*click*
Dave>> Good kid, that Jerry.
Jerry, however, is not as dumb as you might think.
He called Susan.
Bastard.
This is how the call actually went:
Susan>> Hello?
Jerry>> Hi, Aunt Susan.
Jerry>> It's me, Jerry.
Susan>> Hi, Jerry.
Susan>> What's up?
Jerry>> Could you ask Uncle Dave if he'll do me a favor?
Susan>> Oh, he'll do it.
Jerry>> You don't even know what it is yet.
Susan>> Doesn't matter.
Susan>> He'll do it.
That's my wife, ladies and gentlemen.
Note to self: retain divorce attorney.
Anyway, I had been voluntold into young Jerry's career day.
This, however, left me with a huge problem: how do I explain my job to a group of children?
[GM]Dave>> Hi, kids.
[GM]Dave>> I play video games all day.
[GM]Dave>> For money.
Yeah... That'll prepare them for the real world.
Maybe I should emphasize the down side.
[GM]Dave>> Hi, kids.
[GM]Dave>> I spend my day dealing with retards.
Teacher>> I hear ya, brother.
... No.
On Friday, I was an hour away from career day and still had no clue what I was going to say to his class.
I just decided it would be best if I went in their and winged it.
What could go wrong?
Wait... Kids aren't impressionable, are they?
Crap.
Teacher>> Class, this is Jerry's uncle.
Teacher>> He's a... Game... Master.
[GM]Dave>> Thank you.
[GM]Dave>> Well, kids, I'm a Game Master.
Kid1>> What's that?
Jerry>> He plays video games all day.
[GM]Dave>> Not exactly.
[GM]Dave>> I help players in an online role-playing game.
Kid1>> You mean like WoW?
[GM]Dave>> ...
[GM]Dave>> No...
Kid2>> My dad plays WoW.
[GM]Dave>> That's great...
Kid3>> Mine, too.
[GM]Dave>> Yeah, you know what else your dad does?
I have been "asked" not to return to career day.
All I said was that the kid's dad loves his mom very much.
Maybe not in those exact words...

wow... I couldnt imagine having to deal with that. I don't envy you Dave.
[GM]Dave>> Hi, kids.
[GM]Dave>> I spend my day dealing with retards.
Teacher>> I hear ya, brother.
Classic.
I feel your pain of being voluntold what to do, Dave.
But hey, if you're lucky, that's the last time Susan's nephew asks you for a favour ;)
[GM]Dave>> You know what else your dad does?
I almost pissed myself
"That's my wife, ladies and gentlemen."
I thought Susan was your girlfriend Dave?
/equip "feet" ball and chain
I can't imagine what Goblin Smithy would've said if he had been in Dave's place.
ricardo, I can.
"*Stabs kids in the trachea*"

its been a long time since he last posted regularly, much must have happened in that time
Well think of it this way...why is divorce so expensive?
Because it's worth it.
Another side comment...why do men die before women?
Because we want to.
Now see, I would've gone on with the the whole "yes like WoW" ruse, and then followed the kid home blown up his house after making sure the entire family, especially the father, were in there.
Just few less retards to plague us. :D
hahahahahahahaha! funny stuff!
