Ok, I know this isn't about football, but we have a while yet, and the following served to put me in an appropriate mind set, anyway.
There’s a reality TV show on Bravo called “Flipping Out”, which follows the life of Jeff Lewis, a Los Angeles based OCD challenged “houseflipper” / interior designer.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Lewis has an assistant, Jenny something, and she has a husband, Chris something, an honored UGA grad, who has worked his way up in the Lewis organization over several years and now manages overseeing the maintenance of Jeff Lewis’s personal home and pets. Now, Chris, who proudly wears his UGA hat throughout, doesn’t actually DO these things, because he recently hired a part time assistant for himself (other Chris) to do much of the “heavy lifting”, primarily involving walking the dogs and running the scat patrol.
Apparently Chris something has been involved in a long learning curve prior to his recent promotion, which is non-specific in its skill set, but has a title and last year involved making sure that Lewis didn’t get onions on his salad and that his Starbucks was served @ 130dg, not 140. This is not a joke. During much of his screen time, Chris (who got and stays in the job primarily as a favor to his wife Jenny something, who Lewis likes) almost continually dons his UGA hat as he spends his days loafing around the house, sneaking away for voice over auditions and supervising the pool cleaning and pet trips to the vet.
While it’s nice to see a UGA grad reach this high a position in life, his tenure ended last night after Lewis installed a nanny-cam and watched Chris relax away a week or so sitting on the couch, playing on Lewis’s computer for several hours a day (forbidden and lied about by Chris weekly), rummaging through Lewis’s personal effects and generally living large, bathed in the glory of his accomplishments, fully reflective of the merit and value of his UGA degree.
Unfortunately, poor Chris followed the “Peter Principle” and rose to the level of his own incompetence (there’s apparently a lot more involved than one might think in this line of “uber-houseboy for the interior designer / flipper” work), and was fired by Lewis for pretty much doing squat and stealing a paycheck.
As Chris drove away in disgrace, the last thing the viewers saw was his red and black UGA decal in the rear window of his pickup truck, which pretty much says it all.
Yep, I'm getting the hate on anyway I can....
