The jury’s still out on Wednesday.
I mean it’s literally still out….
If you’ve been paying attention (and why wouldn’t you?) last
week I told you I had heard Wednesday left town and took off on vacation
somewhere.
Well, it turns out that was true. It seems Wednesday was spotted
going in and out of a number of illegal casinos in Cancun. It’s said he was smoking illicit cigars and
had a couple of pretty “questionable days” draped over each of his scrawny
little mid-week appendages.
So you can imagine what that was all about.
Next thing, I’m getting a call from the local Federales down
there saying, they had this día más malo locked up in a holding cell,
claiming to belong to me.
Of course, I knew right away what day they were talking
about. In fact I wasn’t the least bit
surprised. Still, I told them that was
impossible. I hadn’t had a bad day in a long,
long time; not since Bush Jr. finished his second term.
They said this particular day was claiming to be down there
working for me, gathering material for some kind of story.
“Nope,” I told them. “All of my days, while subject to unwarranted
mood swings from time to time, are usually pretty good ones and are all accounted
for.”
I even said it with a straight face…not that they could see
my face…I don’t think.
So they thanked me for my time and charged Wednesday with illegal
gambling, possession of an unlawful cigar, solicitation and I believe walking
on the wrong side of the street on a Tuesday…which I can’t tell you how much that
must have annoyed Wednesday, given the bad history there with Tuesday.
Anyway, who knows how this is all going to turn out now. They
don’t take flaunting the law lightly down there…no matter what day it is.
I talked to Saturday about bumping up a couple of slots, to
fill in…you know…temporarily. I told Saturday we would give it a try for a few
weeks and if it worked out to both of our likings it could become a permanent gig.
But to my surprise Saturday turned me down. Said it liked its
nice cushy spot in the week the way it is.
Said it didn’t want to mess with what was working so well for so long.
I guess I should have expected that kind of lackadaisical attitude from a weekend.
Even so, against my better judgment, I also asked Sunday if it
was interested, but of course with its “holier than thou” attitude it just
walked away. Not that I didn’t expect it, especially coming off one of its big
holidays.
I don’t know…to be honest I’m getting a little tired of all
these silly days and their half-baked attitudes. I should replace them all with
some younger, hungrier days.
It couldn’t hurt to see what else is out there….
Maybe I’ll start interviewing.
