Jobs
Today's job matches:
* Program Specialist, $14/hour - Must be able to translate Spanish to English and English to Spanish (I guess I should have stuck with those spanish classes in high school.)
* Office Technician, $12/hour - Bachelors Degree in Business Administration required (I don't have a degree.)
* Exec Assistant, $14/hour - must be Bubbbly [sic] and have have five years experience supporting VPs or CEOs (how could anyone still be "bubbly" after five years supporting VPs or CEOs? .)
* Admin Assistant, $10/hour - must know shorthand (who uses shorthand these days? I haven't used shorthand since 1978 and don't remember a thing.)
* Admin Assistant, no salary given - Bachelors Degree in Business Administration required.
* Admin Assistant, $11/hour - must be a Notary Public (I'm not, but I applied for this one anyway.)
* Assistant, no salary given - must be Bilingual (I don't suppose speaking German in my dreams counts.)
* Admin Assistant, $12/hour - Bachelors Degree required.
* Front desk/Chiropractic office, $8/hour - must speak Spanish.
* Admin Assistant, no salary given - must speak Spanish.
* Admin Assistant, no salary given - must have strong Sales and Marketing experience (they used the wrong job title on this one.)

and finally, the ONE job I can honestly apply for:
*Admin Assistant, $11/hour - high school or GED, two years experience.

It's a state job which means I'll never hear from them. I hope Jack-in-the-Box is hiring...

[Listening to: Work-Rest-Play-Die - Subhumans - Time Flies/Rats]

"Work-Rest-Play-Die"

When the people of the country have forgotten how to disagree
And the national economy is said to be OK
And the wages that you get will help you to forget
Will you keep your ideologies or throw them all away?

When the system has you beaten
Even now you haven't eaten
Cos you can't afford to eat or drink to keep your brain alive
You blame the system for the weather but carry on as ever
You go to work at half past eight and come back home at five

You can go blue in the face talking about the human race
How they got to outer space but it never stopped the wars
And how the whole of this humanity is based on greed and vanity
The ones who make decisions are the ones who make the laws

But you're still in this society
So what's your main priority
Remain in the majority who never really cared?
Or cultivate the hate to annihilate the state
Are you prepared to die for your beliefs or just to dye your hair?

The anarchist, the nihilist but can you prove that you exist
To a population who insist you're just a bunch of fakes
You cannot change the system until you change your own restrictions
Communication and conviction - got to kick until it breaks
