March's Disgruntled Employee of the Month: Thor Gary Newbrunswick: Congrats, Thor. Thor: I thank thee, friend Gary.
GN: Tell us what you do here at Amalgamated Humor. T: I labor in the docking area, loading and unloading heavy objects from 18-wheeled chariots. GN: Also known as trucks. T: Yes, I have heard them called so. GN: I hear you're very good at your job. T: My foreman hath remarked that I am the mightiest worker who hath ever loaded and loaded in his employ. GN: And what did you do before you came to work at Amalgamated Humor? T: I was the God of the Thunder in sweet Asgard, home of the Norse Gods. I protected that jeweled paradise from enemies both without and within: trolls, frost giants, and my scheming half-brother Loki. GN: Hmm. That sounds like a pretty good job. Why did you leave it? T: Well, Odin, the all-father (and my father) deemed my manner too self-congratulatory and banished me to Midgard to teach me humility. GN: Midgard? T: Earth. GN: Oh. Well, it can be pretty tough working for your own dad. T: Tell me about it. G: And are you still a god then? T: Of course, foolish mortal. Can you not sense the power and majesty of my very being well in my presence? GN: Uh, not really, but I kind of have a cold right now. Anyway, how much do you get paid there in the loading/unloading area? T: Nearly double that of the minimum wage for I am the mightiest of all manual laborers! GN: And how's that humility thing coming? T: Not so good.
