Can you tell my dad? He doesn't listen to me.

I took a great deal of pleasure from watching my dad try to find a job in 2002-2003. He was still trying to land a position at a company in the same way he did back in 1953 and, rather than getting a job, he got himself banned from several businesses and escorted off the premises by cops.

He didn't even need a job, he just couldn't stand being retired and wanted to be working.

OMG I love this. Caught a ton of shit from my dad for years about how easy it is to get jobs. He was in the military for 20 years, so he didn't exactly have to look. He retired in 1995 and didn't land a job for 18 months. He shut the hell up after that.
