Horseradish

I picked up Lemony Snicket's Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid at the library last week. This is not a Chicken Soup for the Soul book at all. I just wanted to share a few words of wisdom with you.

"Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant, filled with odd waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don't always like."

"Perhaps if we saw what was ahead of us, and glimpsed the crimes, follies, and misfortunes that will befall us later on, we would all stay in our mother's wombs, and then there would be nobody in the world but a great number of very fat, very irritated women."

And most useful for me right now:

"In most cases, the best strategy for a job interview is to be fairly honest, because the worst thing that can happen is that you won't get the job and will spend the rest of your life foraging for food in the wilderness and seeking shelter underneath a tree or the awning of a bowling alley that has gone out of business."

I LOL'D.
