Jen is SO FIRED

meghanavatar1Hi all!  I’m in my comfy hotel bed in New York City, writing to you all using an ethernet connection.

I KNOW! I didn’t even know anyone still used those either!  It’s like I’m living my very own version of Little House on the Prairie.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you guys a little story about a girl who used to write for us here at Aiming Low.  Technically at the time this post is published she still DOES write for Aiming Low, but at some point tomorrow (after I’ve had a few donuts and some coffee), I’m going to put forth a motion that she be fired.

Her name is Jen.  You might also know her from Twitter or from her personal site.  But in the near future you probably won’t know her as an AL writer any longer.  Sad, right?  Because we had a special thing going.

I’m going to have to look, but I’m pretty sure Section 33.532 of the Aiming Low Writer Contract clearly states:

No Aiming Low contributor shall, in any way, shape, or form, make a reasonable attempt at keeping an organized suitcase while travelling.

And people?  Rolling her jeans and repacking them neatly in her bag is CLEARLY a blatant disregard for this very rule. We’re not event going to talk about the fact that she has her home closet organized by type of shirt and then by color.  We’ll save that for another day. It’s as if she took the Aiming Low Employee Handbook and spit shined it herself.  Which is SO not cool.

But if you don’t believe me, I have photographic evidence.

And Jen, if you’re willing to conform, I’m willing to offer you some guidance.

I would have just thrown everything I needed into a garbage bag and hopped on a train to NYC!

Ok, I’ll admit that her organization skills are annoying, but you can’t fire Jen because I lurves her.

Meghan,

If I were there, I would have made YOU feel like your suitcase was super organized.

I’m shocked! Is there no such thing as respect anymore? Clearly suitcase number 2 is the way to go.

I’m glad to learn that I”m not the only one who crams suitcases full rather than folding neatly. I thought I was alone.
