So Monday I called Bob up and asked him when I was going to actually get paid for writing this column.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t get paid,\u201d he said. \u201cWe don\u2019t pay any of our writers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou mean to tell me I\u2019ve been doing this column now for the better part of 20 years and I don\u2019t even get paid for it?\u201d I asked, just to make sure I was actually hearing him correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve only been doing this column for two weeks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what you think,\u201d I told him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So now I\u2019m thinking of maybe going out into the woods to look for that Chick Shit chick and see if maybe she doesn\u2019t agree that perhaps it\u2019s time for us WeirdCrap writers to exercise a little collective bargaining around here. After that if we can get Steve on board, which I\u2019m pretty sure we can, then we\u2019ll have him outnumbered. Maybe we can even get that weird woman who\u2019s always sitting around the office every time I stop by to badger Bob with questions about the website but so far as I\u2019ve been able to tell all she ever does around there is paint her fingernails and I seriously doubt she can even type let alone write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If Bob had any brains anyway he\u2019d have already replaced the whole lot of us with an AI Writerbot by now just like all the real media organizations are doing so I figure we\u2019ve got a pretty good chance of at least tricking him into giving us all some free coffee and donuts every once in awhile or maybe even some tickets to The Policeman\u2019s Circus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s been a long time since I\u2019ve seen an actual real live Poodle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
