My new boss said "I fired 'em because the monkeys were in charge of the cabana."
btw
I went on an interview this morning and was hired. 
= new reply since forum marked as read
Is Recursion your new boss? 
Thank you!
I doubt if Recursion would be happy in our sleepy little neck of the woods.
How cool is that?!!!!
As long as no one examines the plants over in THAT corner too closely.
Sorry, just had to throw that one out.
Constitutionally unable to ignore a straight line. It's a curse.
If no one is looking, you could probably rescue some of those past-their-prime petunias, pansies, etc. and re-home them! Shhhhhh! 
Last summer, I nearly drove off the road when I saw the K-Mart people hauling carts of plants to the dumpster! They could have put them out for free and people would have taken them. Such a waste.
Think of all the seeds you can get when you dead-head!
I was told they couldn't be rescued. Bummer! 
Nor can we bring 'em back to good health beyond using an alcohol and water spray.
What fun that would be! 
That's too bad that they won't allow rescues though. 
Oh well, even summer flowers must eventually come to an end.
Water Lilies refuse to thrive in my pond. This year I was gonna pay big bucks for one plant. I'll see what gets shipped into the store and try shopping local one more time.
Summer annuals are great to fill in between the perennials. 
I'm gonna stock up on something before I need help. 
My last job was being an escort for oversized trucks. 
This is gonna be so peaceful. 
I've got some work to do before my job starts.
Standing and walking for 4 or 5 hours on a concrete floor will take some getting used-to.
Starting this Sunday I'm going to a large store and walk around a few hours every other day. I've got a bit of arthritis in my hips so I need to get moving now to make it through my first week. 
The boss is willing to work with me. So I'll ask to have a day off in between my working days whenever possible until I'm back up to speed.
Good luck on your job search.

What a great job!
maybe I'll give it a shot. I'm starting to finally feel like getting out and doing something 
with a proven track record of being a responsible self-starter. I just hope my body doesn't complain too much while I get used to the job.
Your horses are beautiful! 
Working with plants is something you'd be good at.
It was a great thread by Recursion.
