My Resume Is Ten Miles Long

Loooooong day at The Outpost. I was fired no less than six times today. The first time he let me go, The Governor was upset by my insisting that he wear something other than just his underpants to the grocery store.

"That's it! You're fired!"

I was eventually re-hired, but sacked again when I wouldn't stop at McDonald's for lunch. When we got home and I wouldn't help him with a puzzle, I was reinstated with full pay. Didn't last long. I was claiming unemployment fifteen minutes later after some other unpopular decision. I'm not sure I was officially back on the payroll by dinner, but when he saw what we were having he pointed his finger at me across the table and told me, "You're really fired now!"

Yeah, right. Just wait until he sees how much unemployment tax the state is going to tag his little ass with. I'll be back on the job by breakfast.

And now...just because he's a good dog and I haven't posted a picture in a while, here is Hoocher. He was watching the school bus come down the road; I'm pretty sure he was thinking, "Big, yellow deer. I can take it."

"You're Fired"...heh, that used to be my thing! Except that was in college.

I used either that or "That's it. You're off the force. Hand in your badge and gun."

I think the Gov and I might have a lot in common. So look on the bright side...he might grow up just like me!!!!

The Governor can't fire you - yours is not an appointive position.

Was the big storm the result of the head of steam you built up? Everything OK over there at the Outpost?

If that's the Kevin that I know you have cause to worry. The Gov will be in strip clubs at the age of 9. Cavorting with Jo no doubt.

I'm going to fire you too if you don't start posting more often.
