So, I finaly got a job. I was honestly beginning to lose hope for a while. I must have applied to atleast 30 different jobs. That may not seem like a lot but the new trend among retailers is to have application processes that take 30 min each. So not only is it a time consuming process but its also an emotionally draining process. Everytime that you apply to another job you can help but think that your waisting your time and energy and that no one is even going to look at your application let alone consider you for a position. After all that it turns out that i get a job my walking into a place and handing my resume to the owner. I wouldnt say that all of my other efforts were in vain, but they kinda were since no one has called me about any of my other applications.
I dont think its completly my fault, the way the economy is right now is having an unprecidented effect on the job market. One would think that entry level positions for large corperations wouldnt be so drastically effected by the credit crysis, but i guess it is.
Something that has been bugging me about the recent events concerning the bail out plan passed by congress last week is how adament republicans are about having it passed quickly. Ive always felt that the republican party as a whole is hypocritical but this really puts the nail in the coffin. The republican party is supposed to be the poster child for less government interferance in the free market as well as the fiscally conservative group that squashes liberal overspending. Except it seems that when the republicans are at risk of losing support from their corperatre fuck-buddies as well as their own investments, they go ape-shit for a federal deus ex machina to come down and save all their asses. I have no problem with wanting to make sure that your financial interests are secure, nobody wants to be on the street, but they should take responsibility for what they are doing and admit that theyre economic policy is what caused the problem in the first place and now they are trying to fix the problem by throwing money at it and adopting the principles of their opposing party.
Ok so i could go on forever about that but id rather not.
Does anybody else resent the fact that Palin is even a nominee for the vice presidential position? The primary duty of the vice president is to take over the office if the president is incapacitated in any way. How in the hell is this woman qualified to fulfill that obligation? Is she an intelligent person? Well compared to the majority of the republican party, yes but thats only because you have to include the rednecks of the bible belt. Sitting at the front of the short bus doesnt make you smart. We need more than a cute face in the white house. It really is like a bad Disney movie. Or like that Robin Williams movie Man of the Year, except in this case its a woman and we laugh at her but not because shes a comedian.
