Father's Day was yesterday? You're kidding? Gee I've been working so much, I guess I missed the whole thing. Oh well!

I have never believed in bad luck on Friday the 13th, but today I changed my mind. After you read this post, you will too.
I completed “Gum Duty” today. I was so happy I nearly cried. I thought that was the grossest job in the whole school, right? Wrong. Cleaning the Locker Rooms in the gym is MUCH MUCH worse! Do you know what old gym shoes smell like after they’ve sat in a locker for a whole school year? UGH!!
Next week, I get to clean all those lockers out. I found out today. I’m beginning to think that dear old Svenson is really TRP!
On top of that, the most gorgeous girl in Riverdale isn’t speaking to me. I’m talking about Veronica of course. Our date was a bust the other night. Guess you heard. I couldn’t help it. She was wearing Bubble Gum lip stuff. I almost spewed! I know it’s gross, but that was the LAST thing I was expecting. A girl ought to smell like a girl – not like a petrified gum wad. Am I right?
Oh well. I’m going to call her and apologize… but not tonight. I’ll wait until Friday the 13th is over.

Yeah, I’m talkin’ about new job. I gave Svenson my list of Don’ts when I reported for work yesterday (bright and early at 7:30!!!) Know what he did? He laughed – not a maniacal mad-scientist laugh, mind you, it was just a kindly Svenson chuckle – but it was still a laugh.
My first assignment: Gum-wad duty. That’s right, I get to check the underside of every desk, every table, every counter IN THE ENTIRE SCHOOL for wads of petrified chewing gum, THEN I – Reginald Mantle – get to scrape them off. Ugh!
I may never chew another piece of gum again. By week’s end, I’ll have enough yucky gum to fill the school dumpster! This is the worst summer job in the history of summer jobs!

You will not believe this! My dear old dad, in his infinite wisdom, didn’t think I was whole-heartedly looking for a summer job. So, he arranged one for me – with SVENSON – the JANITOR AT SCHOOL!!!!
Do you know what this means? While all my friends are AWAY from school this summer, I will be spending MY summer vacation going to school… TO WORK!
I have NO idea what I’ll be doing. I plan to take my list of “Don’ts” to give him when I report for work Monday. That’s right, I start next week.
I can’t believe this!
