Life Update

It's been way too long since my last post, and alot of that has to do with the job that I'm working right now. But now it's time for an update, since as of this thursday I'll no longer be working at that job. I don't have enough space here to list all of the reasons that I hated working at that job, but the main reason that I knew I had to quit was that it was making me very, very unhappy. I've worked some crappy jobs before, but I've never felt so depressed by any other job. The stress of driving in rush hour traffic, having to park in places I'm not supposed to be and worrying about getting towed (which did happen once), the dirty looks I got from servers working at restaurants as if I was helping take away their customers, the FUCKING idiot pedestrians all over the city who don't know what the little flashing orange hand means, the people who tip two dollars on a hundred dollar order. It was all too much in itself without the fact that I was making steadily less money as the company hired more and more drivers for the "busy season". But soon that will all be behind me. It's true, I don't have another job lined up yet, but that didn't stop me last job I left, and I liked that job.

Plus, now that I won't be working 10-10 five days a week I'll have time to start writing some more! I've got a hundred things on my mind to write about. I think it's about time to start a dialog about the presidential candidates, especially from what I've been hearing from the few people I've talked to at all about it. It's time to set everybody straight about these people. I'll try to get two posts up in the next two days, and if I can manage I'll finish out the WWIII series while it's still relevant!

Rich,
I agree with this plan. I think each and every candidate still in the race on both sides should get some airtime on here.

However, here's a challenge:

It'd be too easy to filibuster on your own blog about why Dennis Kucinich may be the best thing since sliced bread and why Rudy Giuliani is Evil Incarnate, without any nuance or grey area. For every candidate you mention on here, how about explaining in what ways you support each candate, and in what ways you do not support each candidate. Come on, there's gotta be SOMETHING about every candidate that you like and something you do not like. And I promise I will chime in sometimes too.

Ty, I promise that I will say both good things and bad things about every candidate. I pride myself on at least attempting to be fair. And when I fail at that, at least being entertaining
