Step 1 in Reese's Full Proof Plan to Get an Appointment in the Obama Administration

DISCLAIMER: This post was inspired by a Slate article written by Justin Peters. It's actually very funny.

---------------------------------


So the following is Step 1 in my fool proof plan to get a job in the Obama Administration. Please note that this is the only step.


Reese the Law Girl: Answers to Invasive Questions for Possible Appointment in the Obama Administration



Briefly describe the most controversial matters you have been involved with during the course of your career.


Well…


Okay, I admit that during the Judicial Writing seminar I we weren’t really paying attention.

Also, it was my fault that the circuit breaker tripped that one time in my office and the electricity went out. I had an illegal space heater and there was an unfortunate surge...


Okay, you have to understand. I have a corner office and it has TWO windows instead of two walls and the AC is on full blast all the time! Naturally, I’m going to get cold. I’m human for cripes sake!


Yes, I know I told the maintenance guy that I have “No idea why the electricity went off. It certainly wasn’t because I have a heater in my office!” when he asked me if I had a heater in my office. But…I didn’t want anyone to be mad at me…or confiscate my heater…


Ummm….that's all...I think...


Please do not respond to the answer to this question by taking away my corner office. Thank you.

---------------------------------------------


Writings: Please list and, if readily available, provide a copy of each book, article, column or publication (including but not limited to any posts or comments on blogs or other websites) you have authored, individually or with others. Please list all aliases or “handles” you have used to communicate on the Internet.


First of all let me just say how excited I am to have this opportunity. And, I think if you, you know look at my work experience as opposed too…


Sigh.


Okay, this is really funny when you think about it…


See, I started this dumb little blog because I was not working and needed something to do that was semi-positive. Being a Maryland native who was raised in the glorious Washington DC area, I’m a natural cynic; therefore, being semi-positive is a big chore for me is totally natural as one needs to be semi-positive if one wants to institute real change (Yes I Can!). So, I often made fun of the stupid people and things around me on my silly little blog of no consequence just as an outlet. Hehehehe.


Notwithstanding anything you think you may have read on said blog that may not even really exist in any dimensional plane of our reality, please know that I really don’t believe that steroids should be legal. I don’t really think Americans are the best at getting screwed. Also, I would like to point out that I am not “Evil Incarnate,” I don’t think "Karma"is a real-live person, my wisdom tooth cannot tell the future (Hey, LQ my wisdom tooth totally told the future!), and I realized long ago that I was not going to have Brad Pitt’s baby(ies).


Most of this was a joke, really. I mean. It’s funny.


Hahahahaha!


Laugh with me…


…please…

-----------------------------


Electronic communications: If you have ever sent an electronic communication including but not limited to an email, text message or instant message, that could suggest a conflict of interest or be a possible source of embarrassment to you, your family, or the President-Elect if it were made public, please describe.


Let’s see…


I started writing e-mails around 1996. So I would say every e-mail I’ve written since 1996 would qualify as a possible source of embarrassment.


You know, I really want to be forthcoming about my background. So, to make things easier for you, I’m just going to list all the people I’ve ever said I hated in an e-mail message…


Ahem…


Black people

White people

Asian people

Latino people

Native American people

Gay people

Straight people

The Disabled

Stupid People

Hypocrites

Conservatives (I know, I know sorta the same thing as hypocrites)

Midgets

Lizards

The Liberal Media Elite

The State of Florida

The State of Ohio

UPS

Best Buy

DHL

Britney Spears

People Who Hate on Britney Spears

Beyonce

Jennifer Lopez

People Who Hate on Michael Vick, but Hunt Animals for Sport (I know, I know I keep duplicating hypocrites)

Michael Vick

Children, All

The Planet Earth


Sigh.


I’m not getting this job am I?

--------------------------------------


Please furnish a copy of each net worth statement that you have prepared and submitted for any purpose (e.g. bank loans) during the past ten years.


Please see attached application for a “loan” from Dell Financial Services for Vicky4. I think you’ll be pretty surprised by my obvious immense wealth. After all, it’s not every day that Dell gives someone thousands of dollars at 50% interest.


Not everyday indeed.


Hehehehe, I totally aced this question!

-------------------------------------


Have any members of your family or close social or business associates been arrested for, charged with and/or convicted of a crime, other than a minor traffic violation?


You know I should not be held responsible for my 5th cousin’s Dog Racing/Pyramid Scheme! (also known as Little TayTay's Dog Racing & Pyramid Scheme Extravaganza!)

I mean of course Little TayTay was arrested and sent to prison. The whole thing didn’t even make any sense!


I totally think it's majorly whack that this little "situation" would be used against me. Haven’t you people ever heard of “the sins of the Father?”

Huh?!? Haven’t you?!?! That’s like, you know, a bad thing to do…to people!


You know what? I’m not even dignifying this question with an answer.


I mean, really people! Let’s keep this interview relevant!


Sigh.


I’m not getting this job, am I?

-----------------------------------


Have you had a complete physical within the past year? Please describe your overall health and any medical treatment you are currently receiving.


Who told you I was anemic?!?


Was it Lisa? It was Lisa wasn't it?


Was it Lisa?!? You know she's been undermining me from the jump! And you know you can't trust her! Lisa's not even her real name!! AND, she's one of those Islams and you know they can't be trusted!


LISA I WILL CUT YOU!!


-------------------------------


Please provide any other information, including information about other members of your family that could suggest a conflict of interest or be a possible source of embarrassment to you, your family, or the President-Elect.


At this point in time I would like to withdraw my application for a position within the new Administration.

Sure, we had a good run and I really wanted to serve the public good. But I can see that all those HATERS out there will not let real change sweep the land. Well, I’m not going to stand by and let the HATERS use me to stop the nation from going forward!

I shall resign from my awesome hypothetical Cabinet position and become a corporate whore lobbyist/consultant for a big time corporation public-interest group where I can do more good than being tied down by the U.S. Constitution red-tape of the government.


Good day to you all and may Karma destroy all your dreams God Bless!


Sincerely,

Reese the Law Girl xoxo

The Trials and Tribulations of the Poor, Working Girl: Chapter 3

So, here's the latest trial of PWG.


Enjoy!


------------------------



In an ancient land far, far away there lived a poor, working girl. Her purpose: to take down the evil and vile Dragon and do away with its misery. But, in order to do this, she must endure many trials and tribulations. Will the poor, working girl accomplish her goal and save the ancient land from the Dragon’s enduring torture? We shall follow her and find out…





The Labyrinth





As Poor Working Girl (PWG) relishes in her recent victory over level 1 boss, Overzealous Security Guard, she is suddenly taken aback by a strange light and an equally strange voice.



???: “Don’t think you’re hot stuff. I have many bosses and many levels.”

PWG: “Who is that? The light is so bright…I can’t see…”

???: “Who is it?!? Uh, hello!?!?! It’s the Dragon, of course!”

PWG: “The Dragon!!!”

Dragon: “Yes, the Dragon. Didn’t I just say that?”

PWG: “Wow. Can’t believe I’m actually talking to the Dragon. This is kinda cool…”

Dragon: “Well, I imagine it is very cool for you. I mean, I am THE Dragon and… HEY! Quit that! You’re supposed to fear me!!”

PWG: “Fear you? You obviously don’t know who you’re dealing with do you? I’m Poor Working Girl! I fear no one…”


“Except for my creditors. Now, there’s a scary bunch, let me tell you…”



Dragon: “SILENCE! We will see what you’re made of! Take these magical forms to the Land of Travel Approval and we shall see how brave you really are!”

PWG: “Take some forms to the Land of Travel Approval?!? Are serious? Isn’t this a job for one your minions?”

Dragon: “NEWSFLASH: You are one of my minions! The Code of the Poor Working Girl is to infiltrate the Dragon’s organization from within. Duh!!!”

PWG: “Wait, wait, wait!”


“There’s a Code of the Poor Working Girl?”


Dragon: “Oh, this is just ridiculous! I mean, really! Who is your Ancient Asian Master? Hasn’t he taught you anything?”

PWG: “No, not really. I mainly just detail his car.”

Dragon: “Well, that sucks.”

PWG [rolling her eyes]: “Tell me about it!”

Dragon: “You know I kind of feel sorry for you, PWG- having a no good Ancient Asian Master and all. So, you know, I’m going to give you a hint on how to complete this trial.”

PWG: “Really? You know, I’m ‘bout it enough not to need any hints.”

Dragon: “Uhhh, hello? I’m doing you a favor. Do you want to wander aimlessly through the Land of Travel Approval or not?”

PWG: “Alright, what’s the hint?”

Dragon: “To get to the Land of Travel Approval, you must find the True Office Assistant.”

PWG: “The True Office Assistant? Who’s that?”

Dragon: “Well, it wouldn’t be a hint if I gave you the answer now would it?”

PWG: “I guess not…”

Dragon: “Find the True Office Assistant and you shall be well on your way to defeating me in a totally wicked cool, although not completely imagined in the head of our narrator, battle sequence!”

PWG: “AWESOME!”

Dragon: “Yeah, I know…”

PWG: “So, you think I can defeat you?”

Dragon: “No…no, I don’t.”

PWG: “Dang!”

Dragon: “But, I do like you kid. You’ve got moxey.”

PWG: “Thanx!”

Dragon: “Yeah, well, you’re welcome. But, don’t get too happy just yet. I doubt you’ll ever find the True Office Assistant. She’s really hidden down in the dumps. MU-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Get it? Down in the dumps?”

PWG: “No.”

Dragon: “You will. MU-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

PWG: “Are you done yet?”

Dragon: “Just one more- MU-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!”

PWG: “Whatever.”



As Poor Working Girl turns to start her journey to the Land of Travel Approval, she realizes that this trial may be a bit more difficult than she initially realized. For in front of her are hundreds, if not thousands, of corridors. The path to the Land of Travel Approval is not a straight one. It is a dizzying maze...



A labyrinth.




Nice how I got the sub-title in there, huh?



PWG [communicating telepathically]: “Uhhh, Ancient Chinese Master, I could use some help. This labyrinth is pretty expansive. What should I do?”

Ancient Chinese Master (ACM): “Wait…I am meditating on the answer…”

PWG: “Okay.”

ACM: “SHHH!!! I’m meditating…”

PWG [whispering]: “…okay…”

ACM: “Yes! Yes! I’ve got it!!!”

PWG: “What is it?!? What should I do?!?!”

ACM: “Start…walking…”

PWG: “Yes…”

ACM: “That’s it. Start walking.”

PWG: “Start walking?”

ACM: “Yes.”

PWG: “Really?”

ACM: “Yes.”

PWG: “God, I hate you.”

ACM: “Hehehehe! It’s just so easy to mess with you!”



Well, having no other choice, Poor Working Girl starts walking through the labyrinth. She walks and walks through an endless maze of offices, cubicles, and obscenely bland meeting rooms. She keeps walking until she sees an open room emitting a strange, pulsating light.

Struck by curiosity, and also stupidity, Poor Working Girl goes inside the room. Immediately, she realizes what this place is.



PWG: “I know this place…”

Narrator: “Uh, yeah, I just said that.”

PWG: “Shut-up!!! You’re not supposed to be in a dialogue sequence! This is my show! Get to narrating!!!!”

Narrator: “God! You’re such a bi…”

PWG: “NARRATE!!!”

Narrator: “You know what? Just for your snappy attitude, I refuse to narrate until you apologize!”

PWG: “WHAT?!?!”

Narrator: “I’m on strike!”

PWG: “YOU CAN’T GO ON STRIKE!!! YOU CAN’T STOP A STORY IN THE MIDDLE OF A CHAPTER!!!”

Narrator: “Yeah, well, I’m tired and you are mean and so now I’m on strike!”

PWG: “I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS! MY STORY HAS BEEN ON HIATUS FOR MONTHS AND NOW, NOW, YOU CHOOSE TO GO ON STRIKE!!!”

Narrator: “APOLOGIZE!!!”

PWG: “NO!!!!”

Narrator [walking away]: “Fine. Then, I’m out. I got other stuff I gotta do anyways!”

PWG: “COME BACK HERE!!!”

Narrator [still walking]: “NO!”

PWG [screaming]: “FINISH MY STORY!!!!”

Narrator [getting into her car and driving away]: “LA-LA-LA-LA, I CAN’T HEAR YOU!!!”

PWG: “OH, THIS IS SOME [insert bad word]!!!!”
