Ooh. Snazzy new toothpaste.
Ooh. It’s purple and called Kiss Me Mint.
So long, spearmint. See you later, winterfresh. Good riddance, cinnamint.
It’s ALL about Kiss Me Mint now with its sassy label, built-in breath strips, and kicky glitter appeal.
OH WAIT.
Using it is like washing your mouth with long-lasting cough medicine flavour. To me, that is about the equivalent of dousing my face with battery acid.
If only the newf was as wasteful as me so we could throw it away and move back to our old friend, not-horrendously-offensive-to-the-senses mint. But no. I remain endlessly punished three to five times a day by Colgate Battery Acid, recommended by four out of five masochistic dental hygienists.
Kiss me, sweet release of death…kiss away the toothpaste from hell.

The same sort of situation happened to me in the A&F on 5th Ave. in NYC! A girl walked up to me and asked if I would be interested in a job, preferably a managerial position. After explaining that I pretty much ran my family business (obviously a job I wasn't planning on leaving) she did the whole “welllll if you ever change your mind blablabla” thing. At least she SORT OF took no for an answer! I know what you mean about feeling flattered about fitting into the A&F mold, I secretly felt that way, too.
Dude we don't have an A&F store in SA … Do they really have half naked men walking around? You're ungrateful you know that … (= Man they sure are relentless. I figure I'd take the job until something better comes along. That's pretty much the same attitude I regarding men.
Wow, talk about persistant. Or not getting a clue. But if they looked like the men in their ads I don’t think I’d be able to say no… I’m such a wuss. I cave at 6-packs.
Welcome to Toronto.
That story is … inspiring. I dig Ben’s take on it
(followed you here from 20somethings @ ning)
This would be why I purchase nothing from that store. They never leave me alone long enough to look.
Wow, congratulations for living through that. Persistent little f-ers, aren’t they?
Also, perfect summary; that’s hilarious.
at least.. they thought you were good looking? oddly persistent though.
I love union jane posts
I love that you used “Sylvia Plath” as a verb. Ha.
Jane, the Toronto PR market is notoriously hard to get into, it’s such a who-you-know place with way more young PR professionals than positions. My suggestion is to look for organizations, or firms, that you’re interested in and do some information interviews. I’ve had friends who’ve gotten in that way.
Good luck!
Ha Ben's take is exactly right. I thought the job market was really competitive right now – remind me to refer people to A&F from now on. Also, I got bored and was looking at their “careers” page and tell me this isn't the whitest black man ever…

Yeah they're SUPER diverse. That guy makes Obama look like Malcolm X.
How annoying! You were completely professional about the whole thing, and now they’re just going crazy about it.
Wow. So I guess you'll be doing all of your A&F shopping online now?
