Such is Life
Part 22
As I mentioned Shawn was acting guardian angel over me and at the time I wished he would just go away and leave me to rot, but he didn't. He turned up day after day, made me get dressed, took me out for lunch or even just for a walk, something to get me out of that god forsaken appartment with all it's memories of happier times. He did it on a daily basis for over a month, then one day he turned up as usual and handed me a piece of paper.
"What's this?"
"Read it!"
It was a job advertisment, for the now re-named WWE! I looked it over but as soon as I saw the logo on the header I wasn't interested. I gave it back to him.
"Well?"
"Well what?"
"You gonna apply for it?"
"Are you crazy?"
"Yes, next question!" He smiled and sat beside me.
"Why are you even bothering?"
"Because I care." He smiled.
"Why do you care?"
"Why do you ask so many stupid questions?"
"Because I love hearing your stupid assed answers!"
He laughed and shook his head and I smiled. "See you can do it?"
"What?"
"Smile!" he touched my chin. "It helps you know? Releases all those good hormones into your system."
"Yeah well thank you Jenny Jones but I don't have a lot to be happy about these days!" I sighed.
"But you could have, you could have a job doing what you love to do!" He raised his eyebrows.
"And run into Chris every damn day?"
"Read it again!" He sighed. I did as he asked.
"Oh I see now."
"Smackdown, you would be working with Smackdown!"
"What if I cant do it anymore? Its been so long and theres so many more people to deal with at the WWF..."
"E! And yes you can now come on we'll go and see about it!"
"Right now?"
"Yeah!" He smiled, 'Right now, get dressed before I have to kick your ass!"
I laughed and did as he asked. My heart was racing when we pulled up outside the huge overbaring office building with my ressume clutched to my chest. We walked in and were told to wait until someone could see us but Shawn smiled at the receptionist and told her to go and get someone right then because 'Shawn Michaels was in the building!'
I was amazed, I stared at him, "You really are an egomaniac!"
"When I have to be, it helps having a name to use!" he smiled.
Soon after we were lead into another office and I was interviewed.
1 week later I got a phone call asking me if I could start the following day and could I be in Texas by noon. The first thing that crossed my mind was No! No I cant be in Texas, no I cant work for the WW'E', no I cant do this. What came out of my mouth was yes sir, yes sir, yes sir.
So there I was again, packing my bags, emptying my fridge and setting off for a new/old life on the road.
