fired:
from stockroom to boardroom, Alex folds [y! ^[1]]

On week fourteen of a televised “job interview” with Donald Trump, “book smart” Seattleite Alex [y! ^[2]] finally got the axe on tonight’s episode of the Apprentice. Apparently Trump made a last minute decision that no amount of flying under the radar and narrowly avoiding being fired could make up for losing track his win-loss record. When Alex forgot that he’d lost twice as project manager, Tana’s decision not to market to art collectors in favor of a trip to Staten Island (”hella far” according to Alex) to pick up Bedazzler beads just melted away.

On his exit cab ride, Alex appeared to be freed by the firing. He claimed to be “leaving with 10 business ideas” and said that he couldn’t wait “to go home and start a new life.” Keep an eye out for ridiculous office filing system, designer T-shirt, or promotional graffiti shops to open around town any day now.
