SUPERBOWL SUNDAY!!!! INDIANAPOLIS COLTS VS.CHICAGO BEARS

FEB. 4TH, 2007



What I hold in my hand

happens to be not only a

job opportunity

but a real vacation at

the right given time

opened up this letter today

direct from vending services

about seeking employment

at this year's Superbowl

now, only an idiot

would actually pass this up

hyped, ecstatic and out of my skull

to actually work and be on vacation

at the same time

with that in mind,it's time

to plan ahead

to pack light

to party hard

to hit the beaches

to promise Chelle some souvenirs

and by the time I get there

Miami won't be ready for me, trust

but now that I read this piece of paper

numerous times over

(and it's important that I do)

that for some reason this seems

too easy of a situation to affirm

Okay, let me read some of the fineprints

that are aptly applied

"Keep in mind, that during the week of Feb 4th,

all employees will report

to the southeast wing press gate

soft, comfortable black athletic shoes

should be worn

black shorts are also required

if not, black pants are welcome also

(Okay, here's where things REALLY get complicated)

note that on whichever day between the 28th and the 4th

that you will choose, keep in mind

that Jet Services will NOT be of any

aid to transportation, food or vacancy"



*Shit, then why the hell am I going, then?*



it sounds like this will be a long way from

sprite and rebellion

though most of us kids at the northeast camp

should step up for bus or van rentals,

or at least a charter bus



"Oh yeah, we don't supply that, either.

Check for that on craigslist.com"



with those options tossed at us like

old ass singles to scantily clad strippers

and with little as 3 weeks to go

how can all this be possible

no flight discounts

no family or friends to crash with

no directions of where this will take place

and most of all......

no guarantee that this so-called promotional hire

will be worth the trip

don't get me wrong, I have high hopes on

taking a vacation, especially out there

and I've never been to an NFL game in my life

but when you ask us on short notice

and the way they went about trying to string us

to make themselves look good

is a straight up insult

Fuck that.

I'd much rather attend a Superbowl party

and watch it on a huge plasma TV

Free of charge.
