This shit economy can't last forever. True, but I'm afraid it'll starve me to death before it rights itself. If I could get a job working at a video store at Taco Bell or something I could probably get by anyway but I've just never been able to do so. Probably again because I'm over-qualified. That and I'm a big scary nerd guy. Past week I've been wanting to pull my hair out because of the job ads that specify they are looking for cute women for their job positions. I mean how is that even legal?
