reasons to be thankful for vigilent dogs

men come to the door uninvited: I'm scared, dogs bark.
thunderclaps shake the glass in the windows: The dogs watch the windows, I watch the roof.
dinner alone in darkness that wraps around the fence and pours into the yard: I leave a little food, the dogs join me to dine.

questions during an interview (possibly not worthy of a response)

Do you have any questions?
What are the three things that you value most?
You'll be required to dial through a phone system and wait for customer service for about an hour a day, do you have any problem with that?
How do you feel about investing your own money into marketing our Fortune 500 company?
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Would you like something to drink?
Would you like to sit in a room by yourself and write a hundred form letters a day?
When can you start?
