Imagine if you will William Conrad narrating this story. I know that he was the radio narrator and voice of the Lone Ranger. Why I know that, I'm not sure. It's this danged head full of trivia without an outlet right now. In case you don't know who William Conrad is, he played "Cannon" on TV. I know many of you chilluns are really puzzled now. He was a fat detective on a 70s mystery show. OK, maybe you'll recognize his voice as the narrator of one of my favorite cartoons, "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle". Yes, it was before my time too, but I know them from the reruns. He also used to host the Thanksgiving parades on CBS when I was a kid. Hey, why the heck did I get started on this guy??? Oh yeah...
Our heroine Tracy decided to call her friends at the employment agency and tell them she was ready to take some long-term temporary or temp-to-perm job if the money and conditions were right.
Tracy (voice of June Foray who was the voice of Rocky the Squirrel, Natasha, and most any other woman on the Bullwinkle show): "Wahhh, I have no money. Get me a job! But not just any job for me. No, no, the perfect job!"
A few days later Tracy got a call.
Semi-helpful Agency Lady: "I have a data entry job that pays $2 less per hour than you specified, but your name was at the top of the list. It might be a week or only 2-4 days."
Tracy thought to herself: "This is not what I asked for at all, but..." She said aloud "Well, OK. It would get me out of the house for a few days."
SAL: "That's great. The people are very nice. The dress is business casual. It's not a fancy office, but..."
Tracy: "It's not in a warehouse"
SAL: "Exactly"
A few days later, Tracy arrived at the office of a truck/machinery part distributor. It seemed pretty much like a warehouse. It was not exactly the kind of place where she'd make valuable future contacts, but it seemed to be fine for a few days.
Tomorrow's episode: It's not really fine!
