Brampton – Welcome To The Magical Friendship Squad! http://michaelmurray.ca Michael Murray Writes Things Thu, 10 Jul 2014 14:40:50 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.3 Rob Ford’s Rehab Journal http://michaelmurray.ca/rob-fords-rehab-journal http://michaelmurray.ca/rob-fords-rehab-journal#respond Wed, 21 May 2014 20:23:59 +0000 http://michaelmurray.ca/?p=4402 Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is reported to be in rehab at a facility (rumoured to be GreeneStone) up in Muskoka cottage country. Ford has been sighted in Bracebridge and Gravenhurst, near his cottage, even posing for several photographs with locals and commenting that, “Rehab was amazing!” While dropping off his dry cleaning at Fabricare in Gravenhurst, Ford left a workbook on the counter that was labeled, “Rob’s Journey: On The Road To Recovery,” which turned out to be his rehab journal.

Day 1

“Describe how you’re feeling right now.”

I feel good, like I’m ready to dominate. I’m in the zone, just like I was when I attended the Washington Redskins fantasy football camp as a kid. It makes me mad that people think that the name Redskins is somehow racist! It’s an honour to be a Redskin, not an insult! redskinsJesus Christ!! It really burns me, that. Makes me want to punch something in the face really hard. Going to go do some lifting, channel my feelings into a “positive stream” instead of getting sucked into a “self-destructive negativity spiral.

Day 2, 2014

“Describe a recent situation where you felt the urge to take drugs or alcohol.”

“The Situation.”

At breakfast when my eggs were runny.

“Moods”

“1. What did you feel?”

“2. Rate each mood (0-100%)”

I felt really pissed off. I’m paying a shit-ton of good money to be in this facility and I’m not even an addict, so the least you could do is get the fucking eggs right! Is it that hard to scramble some eggs? Fuck! (100%)

I also felt frustrated, like one hundred fucking percent frustrated. Just make the goddamn eggs, okay? (120%!!)

“Automatic Thoughts”

“What was going through your mind just before you started to feel this way? Any other thoughts? Images?”

I was thinking that I was fucking hungry and looking forward to some eggs. In my mind, I saw fluffy eggs, cheesy, fluffy eggs and they were being served by a hot chick who was totally impressed that I was mayor of Toronto. We were going get messed-up and then have sex, maybe with one of her friends, too, and I was going to wear my Redskins football helmet. It was going to be totally awesome, and then I saw my cock-blocking brother Doug laughing at me in front of the chicks, and I couldn’t get it going, you know, and I then I got served some runny fucking eggs!

Day 3

“What are you looking forward to right now?”

I’m looking forward to my first rehab setback. That’s going to be fucking epic.

Day 4

“What is the most positive experience you’ve had through rehab so far?”

I’ve really gotten to look deeply into who Rob Ford is and I think I’ve achieved an inner peace, a tranquility, even, that I’ve never known except on the football field. I’ve learned that some days the eggs are runny, and that’s okay, you just have to deal with it. Also, I had sex with that lush real estate agent from Brampton.

Twice.

That was pretty awesome.

Need to get my suit dry cleaned though.

An Interview Question Practice Sheet http://michaelmurray.ca/interview-questions-practice-sheet http://michaelmurray.ca/interview-questions-practice-sheet#respond Wed, 25 Sep 2013 16:22:52 +0000 http://michaelmurray.ca/?p=3788 A friend of ours owed us a small amount of money and dropped it off in our mailbox with a little thank-you note he’d sealed in an envelope yesterday. (The money was for a toaster) On the back of the piece of paper he’d written on were a series of interview questions. These are the questions and the answers that he, presumably, had written in:

Q. What is your biggest weakness?

A. I’m quite handsome and clever and sometimes people, particularly those less handsome and clever than me, find it intimidating.

In my past job at the box factory, they talked behind my back and said things that were, at the time, entirely untrue about my sex life and the way I treated animals. Well, I showed them, I tell you. Anyway, there will always be people like this, people who have drunk deeply of the Hatorade and are out to get you, and so you just have to take care of it, you know?

Q. What irritates you about co-workers?

A. Usually, and I know that this sounds petty, but it’s the way that they dress. It’s always so predictable and lumpy, their outfits typically accented with some sad detail of their life like Cheesie dust or cat hairs. It just depresses me, and then I get mad at them for depressing me. It can be a toxic cycle.

Q. How do you handle stress and pressure?

A. I’m glad you asked this question because it’s really quite a complex issue. Often, I simply take time off work. This helps, but it doesn’t really solve the problem, and so after trying meditation and finding it useless, I’ve discovered that I need to create a cocktail of prescription medications to help calm the “BLACK TORNADO ZONE” I typically spin into. Also, I find that regular target practice at my gun club near Brampton is incredibly therapeutic.

Q. What will you do if you don’t get this job?

A. I will go and see Iron Man 3 again. I always get inspiration from the Iron Man. He’s made of iron, you know? Nothing gets him down. And then, after a good, inspirational cry, I will just try and take what I’ve learned from this experience and apply it to the future, hopeful that I may yet get a job at your shitty company when the next opportunity arises.
