Diaries of a Temp, Chapter 89: Stars are JUST Like Us

2009 July 31

I am sure many of you have seen this hilarious section of Us Weekly where they show pictures of celebs doing “normal” things. My new favs this week include “They’re shocked by cold water!”, “Their kids like to help!” and last but most certainly not least, “They smell soap!”.

Well, I have been through some low moments over this past year as I have abandoned my 9-5 in pursuit of a new life as a writer and I’d really like it if Us Weekly could include some pictures of celebrities in the following scenerios in their next edition. This would really prove to me that Stars are just like me.

  • They fall asleep holding a bag of Tostitos!
  • They watch Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List!
  • They are late on their credit card payment!
  • They go to Coinstar!
  • They write the copy for a new ham product!
  • They work on a column in their underwear!
  • They lower their standards!
  • They eat their roommate’s food!
  • Their parents send them money!

 

Celebri-tease,

What do YOU want to see in this section? How do you want to see that stars are just like you?

    Enjoying four years (or sometimes more) securing a college degree and then experiencing this employment market is a challenge. Losing your job at any time is a devastating experience. . .Some handle it well. . others not so well.

    My Son graduated year prior to last and came up with a novel and successful way to seek employment. ( http://www.jolapa.com ) It worked for him and others. . . .but finding employment now has got to be harder work than enjoying employment a few years ago. . .

    good luck everyone in need.

    They stay up all night and sleep all day, to avoid interacting with other people!

    They live on ramen noodles, dry cereal, pasta, etc. due to inability to afford anything else! (forget that low-carb diet)

    They make up reasons to avoid their friends, in order to not spend any money!

    They consider faking their own deaths so they won’t have to repay their student loans!

    They load up on free bread that the local church left in crates on the side walk.
    They walk around stark naked for a few days. Friends call and asked if you are dressed before they say hello, and then ask can they come over.
    The highlight of their afternoon is going to check the mail to see what the gods at ebay left.
    Their cat looks at them like a poor hopeless soul while their bawling their eyes out.
    They realized that the only reason they married their significant other was because this was the only week allowed as essential personnel contractor that they could get off of work, and not get fired for a middle of the year vacation.
