Finally the 18 year old got a full time job. It's an hour away from home, at a resort, but he's got accommodations on location. It's not the most glamourous job in the world: he'll be pumping gas at the resort's marina.
Simone had a question for the boy as he headed north for the initial job interview.
"So. You're supposed to be pumping gas. But will you also be ... pumping out?"
"?" was the incoherent reply. Of course, the question was asked prior to noon so Simone expected nothing more in terms of elocution.
"You know, pumping out? Do you remember on Kiki's boat? When the waste tank got full, it had to be pumped out," Simone said.
"Omg, no!" the 18 year old explained. "It wasn't at the gas pump that they did that, was it?"
"The pump out station was there, I think," Simone replied, trying hard to remember.
"Ugh," he snarled and refused to share another word.
Cuz a full-time job in this economy is, unfortunately, very difficult to come by...
