I keep having to pinch myself. Discussing job opportunities with a counselor here in the great Midwest.
Me: "I see you have job listings under "human rights". What's that about?"
Counselor: "The state's Department of Human Rights."
Me, with severe understatement: "We don't have that in Alabama."
Awesome. It's like you clicked your sapphire* slippers together and here you are.
ReplyDelete* because ruby would be just wrong ;-)
Howdy neighbor! Would you like a half gallon of strawberries from one of my patches?
ReplyDeleteThey do too have one of those in Alabama! Only it's against them...
ReplyDeleteIn Ape City we have a "Department of Human Affairs". It's a little different. Exterminations and lobotomies, mostly.
ReplyDeleteBG Budd: "And good bye to you too, old Rights of Man."
ReplyDeleteWelcome home, BG. You belong with us. Hope you had a good weekend.
Well, it's not called that in AL; this seems to be an approximation:

true dat, moioci, but Shunra nailed it...Alabamians have been traditionally discriminated against BY the state. There's a Southern Poverty Law Center for a reason....
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the kind words and welcome, folks. I feel very much at home.
i'm so happy that you are feeling good about the move.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your move out of the south. I served time there as well.
