You’re Fired!

So - I watched Celebrity Apprentice from this past Sunday. It was the big debut and I wasn’t disappointed. What a cast of characters! Whew! Before I begin blogging, please take a look at the cast.

So, I was all excited to watch the TiVo’d version on Monday night. I got myself settled with my glass of wine and my crossword puzzle book. Well, I don’t really do crossword puzzles. It’s actually Fill-Ins. Mindless writing.
Anyway - I sit myself down and watch the craziness called Trump. Just as Trump says “You’re Fired!“ to Andrew Dice Clay, my husband walks into the room to tell me that he is officially part of the largest population in RI. He was laid off on Monday - last day of work on Weds. Ironic that I hear YOU’RE FIRED followed by a real life reality check. OUCH! I’m hopeful that he won’t be jobless for too long, but when I hear that 1200 people applied for 40 job openings, that scares the living bejesus out of me. Anyone looking for an architectural draftsman?? 
So - I poured myself 2 more glasses of wine and let him vent. 5 years of his life - gonzo. He’s so inspirational to me though. He’s looking at it as a positive. He said it’s a chance to try something new. Who knows, this could lead to better things? What a champ! And, it wasn’t a typo above. I poured MYSELF 2 glasses of wine. For me. Not one for him and one for me. HA HA HA!
On a side note - the next day Andrew Dice Clay made a guest appearance on the Howard Stern Show. He said that he purposely lost the game because of the way Trump (he actually called him “CHUMP”) and the producers of the show treated him. I didn’t really think about it when I was watching the show, but after I heard his interview, I realized it. At the beginning of the show Trump introduces the cast of characters. With each one he says things like “Amazing” - “World Renowned” - “Unbelievable”. When he introduces Dice, he says “Andrew Dice Clay - so, do you still like women?“ HUH? He’s one heck of a comedian (if you like that sort of comedy). Oh well - no more Dice. We’ll see who goes next. There sure is a lot of dead weight in that cast.
