Comments on: Notes from the Void #3 http://www.1000gears.com/etc/20100212_notes-from-the-void-3/ A ticking in the back of our minds Fri, 16 Sep 2011 06:35:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: senshixdoukeshi http://www.1000gears.com/etc/20100212_notes-from-the-void-3/#comment-143 senshixdoukeshi Sat, 20 Feb 2010 06:47:30 +0000 http://www.1000gears.com/?p=285#comment-143 It's a terribly sobering article, but I think more people should read it. Honestly, as horrible as this is for America and many people living here, I think that ultimately, the recession and the lingering effects of it might be a good thing. We're being forced to step back, re-evaluate at our standard of living is, what we really need. For those unemployed, it's terrible, especially if they have families that depend on them, but it could also be an opportunity. I think this could be a great wake-up call on the way America has done and continues to do business, as well as the relationship between employers and employees. Maybe we'll finally start to look at these systems critically to see just who is benefiting from them most and realize the inequality that has been eating at the system for years. I'm depressed of course, as I'm one of those young adults coming out of the college and looking around for a job that likely isn't there. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do, because I'm quite literally a "dime-a-dozen" major and I'm not really sure I have what it takes to stand out in the crowd. But I'll persevere and continue on. I'm not going to be beaten down. I'll find a way and find joy in doing it. It’s a terribly sobering article, but I think more people should read it.

My work hours fluctuate between 15~20 a week, depending on if somebody takes a day off or not or if the kid I tutor is late. I'm also taking 15 units (or 19; anatomy = class of death). ...Glad to know that'll make things look better on the resume though! :D Oki-doki then... :3 Oh, jolly good~

Aren't you also in school right now? Being unemployed while you're in school isn't a terribly big deal, though holding down a job is definitely a plus when you graduate. It shows that you have, at minimum, a decent work ethic and an understanding of how to get along in a workplace. Those are surprisingly hard to come by these days. I wouldn't have put the option out there if I didn't mean it. I found the problem last night and fixed it before I rebooted, so everything is working right now.

Incredibly depressing. Totally makes me grateful to have a job to hate. It's minimum wage (pays less than Wal-Mart) but, hey, it's a job and better than nothing. On a happier note: Woohoo! More writing. Shouldn't have given the poke option, though. I tend to take people up on that. If it’s still giving glitches, I see no sign of them–though I don’ know if that’s any help ^^;
