(no subject)
I think, perhaps, I am just bored. I wander around, waiting for enough time to go by before calling the places I have applied to and semi-seeking out other jobs. It irritates me and I don't enjoy it much, I look forward to getting more actively involved in other things rather soon. I have some meetings with Red Cross at the end of the month, stupid orthodontist stuff early next month (ok, so I am not looking forward to that, but I am glad to be getting it over with), and other such things.
Anyway, I found out something that highly irritates me. Another of my AmeriCorps alums is now in the south working... charging people to gut their houses with some group down there, 75$ a day. When there are volunteer groups down there doing it for free (and she *knows* this) and I am sure that if these people knew about these groups they would go to them... communication really is that bad down there, and yes, maybe some people can afford it, but I really don't believe that most of them can. I find it absolutely disgusting to take advantage of people like that... haven't they had enough damage done to them?! Is money worth that much, can't you make the same amount working at Target?
Sigh.
No, I wasn't imagining things when I was in AmeriCorps. I wasn't being cynical. I can't help it, I find it all just sad.
