Job!

I had History today and before class the professor was about ten minutes late as usual and a few of my classmates started talking. We all discussed what bullshit the class was and how none of us were learning anything and how we were all afraid for the mid-term. It felt so nice to hear that from other people, because up to that point I was afraid that I was alone in my way of thinking. So, that was nice.

I had work today.
For an hour.
You might be saying, "Work for an hour?" And you would be right. I just said that. Get with the program. But yes, work for an hour. I went in, discussed the job, sat around for an hour learning how to talk on the phone, and quit. Not only was it just not a right fit for me as a job, I also felt truly uncomfortable there. Everyone was sufficiently creepy. I hated it a lot. It felt like the only reason I was there was to call people who had no interest in coming to the opera, which meant that I would be getting 0 commission. I can get a better job. One where I feel like I might do well and not want to kill myself within the first fifteen minutes.

I watched the documentary "OutFoxed" tonight. It was a very startling look into FOX News and I'm using it for my research paper in Comp 1. I knew Bill O'Reilley was a douche bag and a half, but they featured one person he had on his program that I found awful. He invited a young, 20-something man onto his show because, although the man's father was killed in the attack on 9/11, he was opposed to the war in Iraq. During the conversation the man tried to get out his point that he wasn't angry at Afghanistan or Iraq, he was mad at the small group of radicals who attacked our country who were originally trained and funded by our government. O'Reilly then continued to tell the man to "shut up" and to tell him how he hoped his mother wasn't watching AND how the man's father wouldn't support his sons opinion on the war. What the fuck? How can a legitimate news network allow someone to say that to a guest on their program? The answer is.....a LEGITIMATE news network does not. I am definitely going to attend the next media march bringing attention the corporate ownership in media. And if one isn't happening here soon....fuck it, I might just organize my own.

I bought Stephen Colbert's book "I Am America (And So Can You!)"
It is full of win and chocolate. I am addicted to it, and it will most likely flood this blog with fuckwin quotes from it soon. Honestly, I would have bought it just to own the right to have him stare me down.
