May. 11th, 2009 10:33 pmFormer Czar: a surge in use will lead to a surge in violence.
Former Czar: California has seen a surge in use.
Economics Prof: but where's the surge in violence? Oh wait, there isn't one. Because you're wrong.

It's been almost seven years since I graduated college, and I still get really uncomfortable when someone tells me there's "a difference between a black person and a n-----." You know what, you douche? There's a difference between you and me, too, in that I don't think it's okay to use that word, and you're an ignorant fucktard.
I miss being in a community where it wasn't okay to say, "that's so gay" meaning "that is inferior."
It boggles me that moving home to north Jersey meant I was surrounded by rednecks. And rednecks with Vuitton bags and Armani jeans, at that. I can't wait to leave.

Mar. 4th, 2008 04:32 pmToday I was asked the most bullshit question I've ever been asked in an interview. Position interviewed for: receptionist. Question: What's your ideal job?
My ideal job?
Why do you care what my ideal job is?
You don't. It's a bullshit question. You were looking for something like:
I want to work with a team of dedicated professionals to develop my talents and make a lasting contribution.
What the fuck does that even mean? It's a bullshit answer.
You want to know what my ideal job is? I don't have one. I would like to pay the bills, pay off my debts, and still be able to eat and feed my cat. I really don't care how, as long as I don't have to hurt myself to do it.
Ideal job. Why don't you save that one for the interviews with people who actually know anything about your business? Receptionists are not idealists; they are pragmatists. My ideal job is one I can do that will pay me what I need.
Bet they offer me the job. I hope I have something better by then.
