When the Bible is no longer the Bible
One day, The Sporting News was considered baseball’s bible. How the mightly have fallen:
Headline: Astros’ new GM adds stats guru, ex-cheerleader to staff
Next time someone hires me, you can put:
Blank adds ex-warehouse shipping guy to staff
My first job outside the family business, I worked in the warehouse unloading trucks of retail goods. I was 18 years old, and weighed under 100 pounds. I was VERY thin. I gained 15 pounds that summer, as I ate everything I could find, because I was completely sapped of my energy every day. I never worked as hard as I did that summer, outlasting all the other summer kids, all of whom weighed much more than I did. So, I’ll take that headline as a badge of honor.
Similarly, I presume being a cheerleader is extremely hard work and requires a great deal of dedication.
