This is for Emily

Emily is correct. I did not have a link to the horrid pictures of the house in Modesto on my blog. If you go to the favored blog list on the left and down a little, you will see the awful "before" pictures. I will post the "after" pictures as soon as I sell enough of my plasma to be able to afford to get them devoloped.

I have begun the dreaded job hunt. Dreaded because I need at least $10 an hour and there are no jobs with this outrageously high amount of pay. Just who do I think I am to expect over $10/hour? It's not like I have a business degree or any work experience, then I might even be able to expect $15/hour. Alas, I have an over inflated view of myself, but I will prick my pride and deflate my self worth to join the multitudes of impoverished souls slaving away for $6.00 an hour. (My 18 year old sister will be making more money than me and I don't even have a criminal record.) A dear friend told me that she feels like her soul dies a little every time she takes a minimum wage job. I would get back on Cymbalta, but by the time I went to the doctor ($65) and filled the prescription ($75) and talked to my therapist ($140) I would have to work a whole week ($7/hour) just to be happy the rest of the time.

Well, If you kon't dump him for a marketing major, you will end up just like me. Of course, I am actually happy in spite of the trumoil and oppression surrounding me.
