Just wanted to wish everyone on SG good health on this Memorial Day, and to ask for a prayer for our soldiers currently engaged in war.

This morning I took the test to determine if the county of Cuyahoga will employ me or not. It involved three categories: reading comprehension, typing, and math.

The first two categories I think I did well enough in; the math portion I'm not so sure, and that's what has me worried. See, I was never good at mathematics beyond arithmetic and complex problems always gave...

This week I received a call from HR at the county Board of Commissioners about the application I put in. On the 17th (next Wednesday) I go in for testing and filling out paperwork.

The paperwork I understand, the testing...well, I understand where they're coming from but I'm not sure if I agree with it or not. I mean, yeah I suppose wanting people who...

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.

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.

HAPPY EASTER!

A little update on the job search:

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.

Ever want to ask someone out, but you're not sure whether or not you...

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...
