Waffle Street Page #3

How are you fixed for cash?

We're not taking your money.

They gave me a small severance.

Yes, and we have some savings.

So, he has some time

to figure it out.

- I say we toast.

- Yes. Absolutely.

To new a beginning.

Excuse me, miss.

Are you distilling my spirits,

or am I to expect my drink

sometime this evening?

Jim:
For the first

time in my adult life,

I was without direction.

But it was time

to take inventory,

discover new interests

and pursue them.

What if I had

just a little bit more time?

To chase down moments like

this and make them mine

What if this night

had never come to pass?

How many nights like this

have I got left?

I leave in the morning

for the country where I'm from

Jim:
My grandfather was right.

I hadn't done

any truly honest work

since sweeping

the warehouse floor at 15.

Alpha had plucked me

out of college.

I never had to look for a job,

never had to fill out

an application.

Something millions of people

do every day,

and I didn't have a clue.

So, what mortgage derivatives does

your former employer invest in?

Man (over PA):
Now calling A57.

Now calling A57.

Hi. I'm here to see

about finding new employment.

Right across the street there

is a community college.

They offer what we call

job preparatory classes.

You get yourself

into one of those,

and I'll get you your benefits.

"Making Art from Trash"?

Trade skill, hon.

What about "Interpretive Dance"?

Personal growth.

I just want a job.

And we will be happy

to help you find one.

Great.

Just as soon

as I get you the benefits.

Jim:
After a six-year hiatus,

I found the idea

of returning to school charming.

No doubt it would provide the

spark of inspiration I needed.

(wheels squeaking)

Vending machines and bathrooms

are down the hall.

Good luck

with your career paths.

In this three-part series,

we'll teach you how to find

a job using the Internet.

Raise your hand if you've

ever used a computer before.

Good for you.

Now, let's go over the basics of

filling out an application online.

First, you will want to create

a username and password.

Jim:
After suffering through the

No Child Left Behind program,

it was time to hit the streets.

I needed something blue collar,

something my great-grandfather

Preston would be proud of.

Society needed people

contributing on the ground floor,

not middle men living off

interest rates and derivatives.

My name is Jim Adams.

I'm looking for new employment.

Do you have any, uh...

Do you have any job openings?

(speaking Spanish)

Oh, Audi? Yes.

Yes, I actually...

I have an Audi.

I'd love to learn more about it

and work... Here's my resume.

I'm a bit overqualified, I know,
