Note to Self

Submitted by PoetWithADayJob on Tue, 01/22/2008 - 18:01.

I am not this job. This job is not me.

This is a job, not a career. Definitely not MY career.

This job is how I pay my rent. I love my apartment.

This job is how I pay my student loans. I loved being a student.

This job is how I save money for retirement. (I will be able to retire someday. I hope)

This job puts food in our mouths. I keeps us alive.

This job is how we save to take our dream trip to Italy. (In two years.)

This job is something to put on my resume so that I may find a better job where hopefully they will not treat me like a three-year-old. One can hope, anyway.


I Smell Rome Burning...

The market takes a shit on all our 401's and what does Caesar and his Senate say? "Everything's great." Caesar's solution to our economic woes; here's $800 bucks I borrowed from China, now spend it all at Wal-Mart buying cheap shit made there!!! >:( I swear to all that is good and clean in the world that this country is living on borrowed time that I'm not fucking paying for! I'm seriously hoping that one day 100 million uninsured, underpaid, pissed-off people will realize that there are only 300 some-odd assholes running this country into oblivion and maybe we need a good old fashioned Stalinistic PURGE!!! Fuck this country, because I don't have a job that can fuck itself... Keep it evil...
