There goes the job search
No one hiring? That's a shame. *wink* Ok, I guess the new question is, does anyone know of anyone else hiring over the summer?
My current job recently cut down on my summer hours, dropping me from a total summer earnings of around $3000 to $2000 (with taxes taken out, of course). But that can't do. I need more money to pay for rent, to pay for my wedding, and to pay for my fiance's car. Oh and to pay for our new apartment. I NEED MORE HOURS! EEH.
Besides, I don't want to widdle my days away. My current position only requires that I work from 5 - 9 (and on some days, only from 6 - 9, which is really sucky) on weekdays, which means I sit at home sucking up the cold swampcooled air and keeping my electric bill high.
By the way, what is a high electric bill in Tucson? Ours runs around $55 to $90 a month. Gas is about $20, water around $55, and Cox about $112 (my roommate just *must* have HBO).
Its that time of year again, when I am looking for a summer job. Anyone willing to hire a hard working, conservative (or whatever) student? I am proficient in reading writing and arithmetic. Among other skills, I have great customer service skills and an award-winning personality.

Illiteracy = Feminization
Anyway, what I got from the entire book was that Illiteracy = Feminization, literacy = masculinization. So I suppose that is why the feminists who control (ok, sounds a little too conspiracy, but oh well) the NEA and our schools are so intent in not teaching children to read or use proper grammar, not teaching children numbers but on rather teaching them to talk about their feelings, letting them watch movies, and generally deprive them of anything that is abstract.
Recently, I was reading a book titled The Alphabet versus the Goddess, which examines the effect that the alphabet had on cultures. The basic principal of the book was that as countries embraced the alphabet (according to the author, the ancient Hebrews were among the first), there was a shift away from the Goddess toward more masculine dieties, masculine values (courage, independence, etc), and misogynist attitudes. The author points to examples of how women's freedoms were deminished in literate cultures like ancient Israel, Athens, and Europe while women's prerogatives flourished in Egypt, India, and China because their use of written language relied more upon images (something far more feminine, far more right brain) than upon abstract shapes with no relation to the original thought or symbol (something far more masculine, far more left brain).

Why I dont like McCain Part VII
The man is out for his own gain. The man is in to keep his job--not to respect the constitution, not to serve his constituents.
I will have to agree: Yet another reason why I will not vote for John McCain--not for President, not for Senator, not for local janitor. Never never.
