Work Schmork

I have to go to work today. Weird. I haven't been at any kind of work in over a month. I have to take a shower and put on real clothes. Phooey!

Because I suck at writing New Year's Resolutions, you should all write them for me. Go ahead - it will keep me entertained as I slog through returning to the land of the working poor. Please. What should I resolve this year?

1, 2, 3, Go!

Sad and alone in the office

Here I am, entering books into a database. This is thrilling, let me tell you! At the rate I am going, I will be out of a job in a week unless there is more work on the horizon. I suppose I could pace myself but it's tedious and I would like it to be done.

It will be pitch black when I have to walk back to my car. It's kind of creepy because my office is in the middle of where the riots were and there are a lot of broken and boarded-up windows... so it's like walking through a ghost town. In the dark. Fun!

I am on pins and needles about this Constitutional Convention business. I hit refresh on Bay Windows every five minutes or so, waiting to see if they are going to recess or continue talking. Please, people, keep talking! Think of my family!

If a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage goes to a popular vote, even here in the People's Republic of Massachusetts, it will pass. But what I want to know is, why does ANYONE think that any civil rights issue that affects a minority should be put to a popular (aka: majority) vote?

Guh.

...

Well, that's it. One more Constitutional Convention and the damned marriage amendment goes to popular vote in 2008. I am ready to throw up. I mean, really - the same senators and representatives will be in office at the next ConCon so it's not like anything is going to change. My peeps voted against, of course, but that won't change anything when my marriage license is invalid and I have to take my wife off of her child's birth certificate.

Sometimes I really hate people. Like, a lot. Because they must really, really hate me, Jen, and Frankie.
