Can some other dorks help me? The boys are arguing over the theme song from Hannah Barbara's Godzilla... "Up from the depths, thirty stories high. something something. His head in the sky". So, does it say "GREEN breathing fire" or "BREATHing fire" ?? |

RusMonster sucks now that he has a job. All he's said he wants for prezzies are Godzilla cartoons, a Bluetooth thingy for his PS3, and the new Call of Duty. We went shopping for his little brother at GameStop last night, and he picked up Call of Duty himself because he didn't want to wait the 9 days for me to gift it to him! GRRRRR!!!
So, FL, what should I get him. And to add dificulty, his bday is on the 28th! |

Anybody feel like proofreading my resume before I ship it off to what might be the most perfect job? My resume writing skills scare the crap out of me, and I'm not wanting the stink of my desperation to get out of F&B to sully this. |

mood: working my way toward peace.
|
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and agressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for alwayst there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your acheivements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own carrer, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do no feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is a perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the univers is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

, you're now logged in! Below you'll find your test result. After, continue on to your homescreen to discover what we're about.
Sane
You scored 23 Fundiness points! |
You're Sane! I bet that's a relief!
You're most likely an intelligent, people-focused person, and probably an agnostic or lapsed Christian. You tend to avoid the more outspoken Christians of the world, and probably consider them a bit nuts, but on the whole you respect their dedication and try to treat them as fellow human beings.
On the downside, Anti-Fundies might consider you a bit wishy-washy, and Fundies will happily lump you in with anyone who disagrees with them. Your respect for others' beliefs will serve you well, however, so don't worry too much. You're the sane one, after all. |
 |
My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender:
|
You scored higher than 99% on Fundiness |

Scumbag- ENFP
60% Extraversion, 93% Intuition, 33% Thinking, 26% Judging |
I have a feeling you're not going to like this much. Do I care? No. How do I know? It's because you hate criticism. You love to be loved and you'll do anything to be accepted.
Unfortunately for you, I can see right through your insincere compliments and over-the-top greetings. No matter what you do, I'll always hate you for what you are. An arrogant, unstable, overly enthusiastic scumbag.
I bet you're pretty proud of your accomplishments, huh? You seem to achieve at whatever you put your little mind too. Trust me. Nobody likes the person who is good at everything. NOBODY LIKES YOU.
This might also have something to do with the fact that you're a cheating machine. You're just not the type of person to make long-term commitments. You enjoy seeing "what could be", rather than being satisfied with "what is." This, of course, means you often leave others in the dust while you seek out another lover.
Well, at least you're not the one left in the dust.
Unfortunately, when you're the one lying in the gutter with a bloody knife in your back, you might think differently.

snagged from [Unknown LJ tag]
You may want to watch Oprah today. Topic is living on Minimum Wage.
Like I said...you may want to watch or even tape Oprah today. Show is about this:
"Living on Minimum Wage"
"July 28, 2006
A bold experiment. Could you live 30 days on just five dollars an hour? For millions of you…this is reality. No credit. No savings. Living paycheck to paycheck. Go inside the lives of people living on minimum wage.
http://www.oprah.com/tows/slide/200604/20060414/slide_20060414_284_101.jhtml
Thirty million Americans who work full time are living in poverty. The federal minimum wage in the United States is $5.15 an hour and has not been raised in almost 10 years.
Someone working full time at minimum wage earns $10,712 a year—that's $8,000 less than what the government defines as poverty.
Why should you care? These are the very people we rely on every day. They are the teachers' aides in your child's classroom. They are caring for your aging parents in the nursing home. They make sure your hotel rooms, your offices and your schools are clean. They are security guards keeping buildings safe. They are paramedics who are there in your most desperate hour.
A documentary filmmaker tries to survive on minimum wage. »
Morgan Spurlock burst onto the scene with his innovative Oscar®-nominated documentary Super Size Me, in which he chronicled every detail of his monthlong McDonald's diet. He is also the mastermind behind the F/X show 30 Days, in which he challenges people to experience life outside of their comfort zone for a month. In one experiment, Morgan and his fiancée, Alex, left their home in New York and tried to survive for one month in Columbus, Ohio, living on minimum wage.
They agreed on three ground rules for their experiment: They had to earn minimum wage, they could start with only one week's pay in cash, and they had to freeze their credit cards.
Before they could look for work, they went on the hunt for a place to live. »"
There's more...six pages of info...just click on that link I pasted in to read it. They talk about what happened when both of them had to go to the doctor's and the hospital while having no health insurance and I think also how going to the dollar movie show but getting drinks for friends or relatives or themselves cost like 12 dollars or something...anyway...looks like a must-see to me.
More:
"The first step for Morgan and Alex was to find an apartment within their $400-per-month price range. The only neighborhood they could afford was in "the Bottoms." At one time, the apartment below their unit was a crack house.
On day two, Morgan and Alex set out to find their low-wage jobs. Alex found a job bussing tables and washing dishes in a downtown coffee shop, and Morgan registered with a temp agency. For his first assignment the next day he was promised at least $7 an hour—$1.85 more than minimum wage. "Not bad," Morgan said.
The next day, however, Morgan and Alex got a big wake-up call. Including his bus commute, Morgan ended up spending 11 hours a day away from home and earned only $45.26. This breaks down to just $4.20 an hour.
Adding two kids to the mix »
In a very short time, Morgan and Alex came to realize that even on two salaries, there was little chance they could stay on budget. Morgan decided to work a second job, which meant he spent 18 hours a day away from home. During this period he made pizzas, washed dishes, worked as a landscaper, painted and made boxes.
The financial stress put a strain on his relationship with Alex. In fact, Morgan explains, "There are twice as many divorces in families that make less than $25,000 than families that make $50,000."
Meanwhile, many low-wage households have children. Morgan and Alex got a taste of what raising kids on a shoestring budget is like when Morgan's niece and nephew came to stay for the weekend.
Morgan decided to take the weekend off to spend time with them. On one outing, they went to a dollar movie theater…but then bought drinks and candy. Alex was more than a little upset at Morgan for this "spending spree." "We're going and spending 12 bucks at the movie just on drinks. That doesn't seem very smart."
What happens when you're sick and have no health insurance? »
Living without medical insurance is like "living right on the edge of a knife every single day," Morgan says. As they found out, it can lead to financial ruin overnight.
Morgan says manual labor had aggravated a wrist injury, but he couldn't afford a doctor's visit. When he tried to visit a free clinic, he was told there weren't enough doctors to see him that day.
The free clinic was not even an option when Alex woke up in the middle of the night with a urinary tract infection. They went to the emergency room and to a 24-hour pharmacy to fill Alex's prescription. Later that day, the pain in Morgan's wrist forced him to go to the emergency room as well.
The bills from the emergency room were enough to significantly harm their budget. "We went to the hospital to get Alex's bill. Just for walking into the emergency room it was $300," Morgan said. "My bill? Just to walk in the door, $551. It's incredible."
The final result »" |

mood:  pissed off

I am Sofa King tired of my shit job, and therefore tired of feeling like shit because I actually make less per year than my student loans are. I hate prostrating myself for fucking $3 and kissing assholes square in the hole in hopes of making more. It makes me want to vomit, the looks of pure, servitude, the "you are my minion now" attitude that people exude on a daily fucking basis. The how about you do just a bit more for nothing attitude that management seems to have every day. The you missed this millimeter of asskissing attitude that customers have every day.
I feel like a jackass that I wasted 5 years of my life going to school. Dug myself $20K in debt to do so, and still haven't bettered myself in any foreseeable way, except to be able to speak more clearly and argue more effectively.
So, anyone, HOW THE FUCK DO I GET A BETTER JOB???? |
