Hey how's everybody doing?

[The Ghost of RubangB]

@Slimebeast, I'm in California, which has an unemployment rate of over 11 or 12% or something crazy by now, and it's still growing, even faster than the rest of the country. Everybody with college degrees here are looking for really bad jobs, and competing with several hundred candidates that are overqualified. It's ridiculous. I'm hoping I can get a job that uses my degree, eventually, but I picked a stupid degree that only qualifies me to analyze/criticize/curate film, so I basically need to work at a magazine or a museum or something, and those aren't really hiring.

In America waiting tables means the same thing as serving tables.

Both times I got robbed I wasn't there. In the Oakland apartment I had a really stupid roommate who I guess was letting a bunch of sketchy homeless friends come over to party all the time, and she's also so dumb she would leave the door UNLOCKED in Oakland. So it's entirely her fault, and she deserved to get robbed. They stole tons of her stuff, and all they stole from me was my computer. But that really sucked because it was the one thing I had that wasn't replaceable. It had 9 years of photography, poetry, diaries, and tons of other junk.

In San Francisco, I had some ghetto storage unit in the basement, and somebody broke in and all they took was a roommate's mannequin, and my 5-string banjo.
