I am not, under any circumstances, going to be applying for the position of House Mouse in yellow tent. Leon, our Mouse was rolled out to Red Tent today and his assistant Mouse Larry has assumed control of the position. That means they will need an assistant Mouse to take Larry's place and a lot of people are looking to me like I am that guy. I am not that guy! Not in this tent anyway. I could do a great job as Mouse, but yellow tent (as I have said before and probably will say again) is a total and complete ZOO. Leon did the best he could, but the rules are changing here now apparently.
The thought of signing on as assistant Mouse to yellow tent would be like signing on as the co-captain of a sinking ship, or volunteering to step up as co-pilot on a plane that is going down in flames. There is a widely popular term in jail that refers to an individual who is screwing up or is dumb as hell, and just an all around jerk, and that term is "truck". If someone is "trucking it" then they are just not running with the program. When a great guy and solid inmate gave his speech before being released tonight, he called it the way I also see it. He said that yellow tent is basically a truck stop. For every cool, program following inmate there are several "trucks" that make this place what it is-a zoo. I have been trying like hell to get off of this rock.
So thanks a bundle for the job offer and everything, but I am going to have to graciously decline. I have been here a month too long and I plan on taking the first taxi out of this truck stop. Pray that I can get transferred over to Delta barracks or red tent. And will someone, anyone, please write me a freaking letter already?
