A New Dawn indeed

I have a new job!
The supermarket on the edge of town – the one which battled for five years against protesting locals who now shop and work there – are taking on extra staff up to Christmas. Starting next Monday, I enter the world of shelf stock replenishment operations! It’s a six-week contract, working four nights a week. Soft labour, good money, no responsibility. That’s my kind of job! There’s a chance of overtime every weekend, but no obligation to accept it, and as I’m working 10pm – 6am I won’t be facing the awful prospect of dealing with members of the public all day long. Insomniac shoppers and stoned alcoholics – yes; but trolley-wielding pensioners and fat chavs with a dole cheque to spend – no. I’m very happy.

I woke up this morning to the news I’d prayed for – Barack Obama is next in line for The White House. I cannot help but feel that the World has just become a safer, better place..
Gordon Brown mentioned the result in Prime Ministers Questions today. He managed to pronounce Senator Obama’s name wrong and then congratulated him on ‘winning the presidency.’ I didn’t realise it was a raffle..

Limerick To Celebrate The Result Of The American Election:

An American man named Barack
Has held off Sarah Palin’s attack
George W Bush
has been given the push
Now the US can get back on track..

I think I’m better off sticking to Haiku
