Creating artistic work calls for keeping yourself engaged with life in my opinion. It’s what separates writers from crazed
Given the choice of companionship, I prefer a dog. An experiment on this theory lead me to such companion but I will get on with that part a bit later. For now, Let’s jump to a few weeks back. Recently, I had two jobs in the restaurant industry and a third on the political side.
I was working a part-time job at a local pizzeria and had just made it to work as I’ve done many times before. That day was a bit different because the workers gathered outside before the workday.
A dog had found it’ s way onto the property. A mixed-gray Pitbull sat next to the dumpster right around Halloween and became comfy with one of the servers. She said he seemed trained and neutered meaning that he had an owner but as I live in Hapeville and work in College Park.(Literally a mile away) I failed to have seen any signs of a missing dog afterword. I offer to take the dog in as I have recently been deprived of roommates as of lately. The girl refused my offer and said she wanted it, which only seemed fair since she was the on to approach it first.
Fast Forward to two days ago. I have arrived at my job which at this point had cut my hours and practically forced me to find a second job, and was asked a weird question.
“When is your birthday?”
I answered confused but honest.
“How would you like a late birthday present?”
I answered again, honest, still a little confused. She responds that she can no longer keep the dog due to her neighbors in her apartments telling the leasing office of her secret pet.
I said yes, then after a crazy turn of events following this, I get fired from the job.
The moment after this, I was torn, as I have thought of getting a dog for months and have only bought it online. For me to have a dog without having to pay is one thing. But to gain it on the day I lost my job was strange as if now that you got what you want, there’s no need for this place.
P.S. I’m not concerned about the job loss. The small hours I got there weren’t worth it.
