Dear Poor Lucky Me,
\nI’m bored with my life. I want to shake things up, but don’t want to really make a big change. You know what I mean? What do you think about introducing myself as Dr. and if people question it, making something up- like dictologist. I think that people don’t ask a lot of follow up questions because they don’t like looking stupid.<\/p>\n
What do you think?<\/p>\n
Signed,
\nMore Than High School Educated<\/p>\n
Dear More Than, Well, not always. Once, while I worked in advertising, I went to a baby shower. I sat next to a sweet old lady who very politely wanted to know what I did for a living. I told her I made commercials. She asked: I just shrugged and then launched into a long story about some sports injuries I had recently obtained. I kept talking until her face dropped into her soup. Long story short, I ended up giving her mouth to mouth resuscitation but it was worth it.<\/strong><\/p>\n Sincerely, Dear Poor Lucky Me, I’m bored with my life.

\nIt’s comforting that you can rely on people not to ask follow up questions.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n“Which commercials have you worked on?”
\nI said “Um have you seen the Allstate commercial where they drive a car off Marina Towers?”
\n“No,” she said. “What else?”
\n“Oh ah have you see the commercial where everything the guy touches turns to Skittles?” I asked.
\n“No, I didn’t see that. What else?”
\n“Oh, well have you seen the commercial where the parade balloons all want the Coke?” I prayed this would end soon.
\n“No I didn’t see that one. What else?” She looked at me so expectantly. So I said:
\n“Have you seen the one where the old lady falls and can’t get up?”
\n“Yes” the lady chirped “I’ve seen that!”
\n“Yea I worked on that one!” I said, smiling broadly.
\n“WOW,” said my new friend, “but you seem too young to have worked on that.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
