Well, it's now 6:47 am and I apparently have no life.
Does life actually end with children, or am I just too fucking tired to live it?
I seem to have a lot of time on my hands, now that I am unemployed. Unfortunately, I now have no money to go do anything with my time.
Is it possible to die from boredom? Someone will walk into my office two days from now because the cats are trying to break down the door where the food is, and they'll just walk by me, thinking that I am online and don't want to be bothered. In a couple of weeks, a strange smell will start to come from the office, and the cats will have resorted to eating the smallest and most retarded among them. No one will think to check until the school sends someone to my house because my daughter has once again beat the ever-lovin shit out of one of the boys in her class. Again.
Oh well. What're ya gonna do?

hair is overrated <grin>. pissing is NOT overrrated. as i turn 40 in 1/06 and still have the former and can do the latter, i count myself blessed.

BUT - the hair must stay
For example, My most recent position was with SunTrust Bank , at their Atlanta call center. I didn't even have to deal with the customer face-to-face, but still was denied more that one promotion because of my "un-professional" appearance. I thought that was kind of stupid. Ok, I thought it was really fucking stupid. I followed all dress code guidelines, and according to SunTrust policy, my appearance was within reasonable standards. Unfortunately, my manager felt I was slipping through a loophole, and that my lack of conformity was a sign of lack of commitment. So, regardless of my performace and track record with the company, positions I was qualified for were given to people with less experience and knowledge than I had. It's not even that the color of my hair or my preference for stripey sock that kept me from adapting to their standards. It's the principle behind the whole thing. Why should my appearance have anything to do with how qualified I was for the job? If someone denied me a job because I am a woman, or because of my religious beliefs, I would have a right under federal and state law to file a complaint against that company, receive an investigation into the matter, and receive restitution if my arguement was proven to be just. But in this case there are no provisions, no action I can take within the company or the law to receive justice. According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, there is no law or guideline that will prevent a company for passing me over for promotion or even firing me based on my appearance, regardless if I looked that way when I began my employment or not. * take a breath* Okay, see you've gotten me off into a rant here.. Not nearly as amusing as Dennis Miller's. Sorry about that. It's just a subject I feel passionately about, and in my mind just another form of prejudice and discrimination. Whew! I think I had better take a break now...
