This primary election we had in Ohio was fucked up in the extreme, and it was deliberately designed to disenfranchise even more voters than ever.
The new diebold machines = shit.
Half the poll workers didn't know how to figure them out; we had roughly 2,000 call off the night before the primary because they didn't want to work the polls and be stuck trying...

Some advice for everyone to follow:
Never donate blood on an empty stomach. It'll fuck you up for at least a day and a half if not two.

A little update on the job search:
The other day I got a letter from the county saying they were looking over applications, and if mine met their requirements I'd hear back from them in six to eight weeks. If not, I'm shit out of luck.
Okay, they didn't say "shit out of luck" but that's the gist of the letter. I'm pulling...

It's really hard, watching a friend go through hell and not be able to say or do much of anything to help him climb out of the pit of depression he's fallen into. All I can do is try to be there for him when he needs someone to lean on.

I went downtown and put in that application for Account Clerk for the county. I have a couple of good references, one from my councilwoman and another from the candidate for state representative whose campaign I'm volunteering on.
I really, really need to get this job. I don't know many other places in Cleveland that are hiring, and the jobs in the suburbs either pay...

Coolness, I may have a job lead for the county, an accounting clerk position. If I understand the job requirements correctly, it's the same kind of work I did when I was a service clerk over at McDonald Investments in Cleveland (a Key Bank-owned firm). And the pay is pretty decent, too. Certainly far more than what I've earned in previous jobs.

ARGH!
That's all I have to say about what happened last night. Okay, not all I have to say.
I got an opportunity to work the voting booth in one of the precincts in my ward this year, pays fairly well for a day and a half's work.
The problem:
The fucking Diebold machines. They're crap, they're easily hacked into, and they've been used to...

I may have a job lead. I was out running errands yesterday while waiting to pick up my second-to-last paycheck from DialAmerica and there's a chance that I can get a job at either Spencer's Gifts once they open up their new location in my most-frequented mall, or World Market. I have to go turn in the application to Spencer's today, but I have an...

Okay, World Market isn't hiring but tomorrow I attend class for working a booth at one of the voting precincts in this year's primary. I get paid for my trouble, so it's all good. 
Well, it happened. I got called into the supervisor's office to discuss my future with Dial America, which is more than likely non-existent as of today. I had been given time to bring my sales up, a full week more than I likely would have gotten if I hadn't pulled them up two weeks ago, but it wasn't meant to be.
Now, there is a...

Lousy, lousy sales week this week. New scripts, which are a pain in the ass because you have to memorize tham and try to sound like you're not reading from a script, and I've never been able to master that. I cannot stand schmoozing, being fake in conversation. At any rate, it's becoming quite clear to me that my job may come to an end...
