Still no word
Nothing in today's mail from unemployment. I left a voice-mail with the hearing ref's office.

another interview
with a terribly perky woman at Northwestern Mutual. My feet hurt. My face is stuck in my "interview smile". My back hurts (slept crooked and the wore heels). Want to be done now.
A party of one
Like many people, I am not so much "pro-Kerry" as I am "anti-Bush". I suspect that I would vote for a gerbil if I thought it had the best chance to put Bush out of office.
I am a registered Democrat. Partly because as a general rule they stand for more of the things I believe in, but also because I live in Chicago and you don't get to vote for anything of any importance unless you are a Democrat. All of the action around here takes place in the primaries.
I am pro-choice, pro gay-marriage, pro-equal-rights-for-pretty-much-everybody, pro-NEA, anti-gun-control, and a believer in the right to privacy and the separation of church and state. I believe that if I support people's right to express themselves, then I have to allow that even for people I don't like, disagree with, or find just plain squicky. I feel bad for the plight of illegal immigrants but I still don't think they should have the same rights to government programs as legal ones or citizens. I believe that if you want to live in the US, you should have a basic working use of English - Celebrate who you are and where you come from, but don't expect me to pay to teach your children in a language that will make it that much harder for them to get along. If I had any confidence in our legal system I'd be in favor of the death penalty, but doing in someone who is innocent is not a chance I am willing to take. I think we should legalize marijuana and other drugs, then tax the heck out of them to pay for treatment and support programs, just like I think prostitution should be legalized and unionized.
So there. Pbbbbbth!

I left that part off my last post because I didn't want to get into debates, I just wanted to say stuff.
