get a job hippie/get a haircut hippie
so yeah as i mentioned i got a part-time job after applying to about 50 places over three weeks, canvassing from echo park to hollywood and craigslist too. i get paid 8 dollars an hour to run food at a swanky suburban vegetarian restaurant. i have to commute 25 minutes by car, wear all black, ive already had to cut my hair but i have to cut it again, i have to wear deodorant (first time in several years), and i dont quite have the money yet to buy more work clothes, so i have to wash my clothes before every shift. i get yelled at every 15 minutes for not serving on the left and removing plates on the right, not taking the salad plates away quickly enough, etc. a glass of tap water there costs more than my dinner last night. but rent's coming up and katharine's still unemployed so i'll stick with it for now.
the economy sucks and i consider myself privileged to have gone to some nice colleges, to have a car, and to have had a nice enough job before that i could save up to move to california. it's really too bad some rich wall street gambling assholes used their political clout to call for deregulation of finance, and now it's impossible for me, a relatively well-off person, to find a job that affords me some god-damn dignity. i'd like to kick george bush's ass right now.
