GL

I gotta tell you about "GL" (a.k.a. "Driftwood II" or "Hemlock"). This guy's the greatest. My spirits lift when I see him walk around the grounds. I've been watching him for years! He can't seem to get his life together enough to GET OUT and move on! He has the social skills of a nightcrawler. Here's a dude who's strolling around in a fog wondering why he can't find himself a job. It's difficult to tell someone to their face that they have the social skills of a worm. Eh... prolly wouldn't stop GL!

One time, GL attended a function where successful contributors of society were sharing tricks of the trade, doling out advice and talking about how they came up through the ranks. The goal was to connect with these folks and network in hopes of securing a promising future... or at least start a path toward one. Well, GL went to the event. PERFECT event for a jobseeker, no? Not when all you do is sit alone in a far-off corner, snarfing the free pizza and speaking to ABSOLUTELY NO ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rats! Foiled again. Once more, GL leaves, head hung low, not securing the job of his dreams... but having plenty negative to say about how the event was run. Go figure!

So, GL continues to amble the grounds, in search of direction and avoiding any professional advice that comes his way. There are some folks you just cannot convince or help. The whole demeanor of this dude is puzzling... but what really tops it off is the way he looks. For years, I've been watching this dude and all the while asking myself, "Who the HELL does he remind me of?" It only came to me just last week. GL looks like Lester!!! You know (if yer old enough)... Lester the Dummy. Lester & Willie Tyler --- ventriloquist act. Always good for a laugh. Now you know why GL makes ME laugh! GL - NEVER leave us!
