hi all. well let me tell you about unemployed hell! well, ok, life isn't hell, it's just the job search thing. a friend of mine was telling me that adulthood keeps getting pushed further and further back due to the poor economy and having to go to grad school to get a real job (anything where your schedule is actually 9-5, and that covers the rent in a week of work as opposed to three)...etc. i guess greg, you might be proof of this. i spent last night on a "working interview", and by this i mean i went to a job, a european pastry shop, and they trained me for an hour and then i waited on customers the rest of the night and helped them close, and all they gave me was dinner! i'll find out later this week if they're going to hire me. so, no income as of yet, hopefully i'll be able to cover december's rent without crawling on my hands and knees to mommy and daddy.

besides that though all is well. i'm in good company in my unemployed hell. joe and i are sitting here right now each doing job stuff, nat is continually looking to get out of the waitressing game, and suz and marta are also in similar situations where their time is being taken, but little is being shown in return (ie benefits). so i'm not really sure if this is a pity, pity blog, or if i just need to rant. it feels good to be outraged at the way those who want to work are treated because then at least you know you haven't succumbed to, "of course we can individually wrap 25 tartlettes for you, and put them in a box with a bow too :)" without rolling your eyes.

thanks for listening. love to you all.
j lo

love to you all
