//------------------------------// // Entry Number 6 // Story: Muffin Slices // by CDRW //------------------------------// Dear Journal, I'm making great progress on that promotion, I haven't broken anything at all since I started keeping a journal, and there's a new job opening up in the department that I'm going to apply for! Mister Heavy Lifter, my boss, decided to take a job over at the Equestrian Mail Service, so that's thrown our department into disarray. And I ain't joking when I say that array was thoroughly dissed! There were yo' mamma jokes and everything! Yo' mamma's so fat the Equestrian Geological Association published an article about the tectonic properties of adipose... That doesn't make any sense. Remind me never to ask Princess Twilight about yo' mamma jokes again. I delivered a package to her yesterday. It was kinda weird too. She seemed a little antsy when I showed up, said she didn't know I had a hazardous materials license. I dunno where she got that idea. Nopony in their right mind would give me one of those, I'm way too clumsy for stuff like that! She got real curious about how work was going too. Course, I told her about how Heavy Lifter was leaving, and the arrays getting dissed (never gonna get tired of that pun) and how I was gonna apply for his job and all that. I think Princess Twilight likes puns too, because she laughed when I told her that one, the joke, not me saying I was applying for the job. She was real thorough about making sure I knew what she was laughing at. She seemed distracted though, maybe that's why she gave me such a terrible joke when I asked if she had any ideas. Tomorrow's Friday, and Mister Lifter's last day, so we're holding a farewell party. I should probably get him something, but I don't have much spending money. I guess I'll have to get creative. I wonder what I'll think of this week when I look back. First there was my talk with Dinky about why she doesn't have a dad, then Heavy Lifter announced he was leaving (aren't you supposed to give two weeks notice?), and I still have to have that other talk with Dinky on Saturday. I'm really tired, but I think good things are going to come of all this.
