Flat Broke

-That went better than I imagined it would. I might have a shot at getting this job after all. Man, my life is gonna be totally different no more serving crappy food for crappy tips. Today is my day. You know what Penny? I think you deserve some frozen yogurt! Yea, with crushed Oreos on top!-

“Hello ma’am what can I get you?”

“Why I’ll have a medium…no make that a large chocolate with crushed Oreos on top. Heavy on the Oreos I’m celebrating.” Beamed Penelope

“Well here you go ma’am. May I ask what you’re celebrating this fine day?”

“Absolutely…I have just completed what may have been the best job interview of my life and the bosses would have to be clinically insane not to hire me.”

“That’s wonderful I wish you the best, maybe once you’re working down here you’ll stop by and see us”

“Sounds like a plan.”

Penelope left the frozen yogurt shop and started her walk to the train station. She could have taken a cab but she was just too happy to be riding around in a back seat, she needed air and people.

-I feel just like Mary Tyler Moore, I mean I don’t have a hat to throw but if I did…-

It’s a shame Penelope wasn’t Mary Tyler Moore, because Mary Tyler Moore looks both ways before she runs across the street in the big city and the Mary Tyler Moore show didn’t end with a bus and a trip to the morgue.
