Get it off your chest!

[Seanna {Madam}]

Hey there pookie...having a bad day? Upset about something? EXTREMELY excited about something? I thought it'd be nice to use this discussion as place for peeps to express any pent up energy. I don't know about you but with the holidays nearing, the election, cold weather approaching, the economy, etc...it all seems to build up on ya.
If I could virtually give you a shoulder rub this is it. Take care and take a deep breathe for me. :)

P.S. don't be scared to write in all CAPITALS and use a lot of exclamations!!!! It can even just be a simple one liner AAAAHHH!!! Seanna won't judge you. :)

Also, this is merely an attempt for people to take a load off so please stay in the PL guidelines and don't be offensive!

Colorado's unemployment insurance system SUCKS and I don't blame the people who work there (if there actually are any), because I'm sure they're just doing their job and they think the process is stupid too, but I was laid off at the end of August (after 6+ years with the company, but that's another story) and now it's November and I still have yet to get ANY FRIGGIN MONEY out of them, nor can I get in touch with a single (expletive) human being!!! Just the automated system that tells me that I'm "not eligible during this pay period" and tells me if I have further questions to call a number that is either eternally busy or has an "estimated hold time" of TWO FRIGGIN HOURS.

Seanna? Where is that pretty tub and candle and rose petals? I need to borrow it. :|

So.. we just moved to the Bay Area from Virginia. Been here about two months and I'm still looking for a job. I don't have tons of experience in anything, and I haven't completed a degree yet. So I'm pretty much just looking for an Admin/Office Assistant at a cool company that I can grow with. Fair enough, right? I'm competent enough. I can work. And I'm nice!
So this is what I wanna know...
WHY DOES EVERY SINGLE POSITION REQUIRE A FREAKING MASTERS DEGREE WITH LIKE 734903284902890 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE?!?!? WHAT KIND OF PERSON WITH THOSE CREDENTIALS IS GOING TO WANT TO BE YOUR OFFICE ASSISTANT?!?!?!?!?!?!!!

[Wink Holliday]

No kidding! All the jobs I can find want someone who can do the work of what should be three different positions all with years of senior-level experience (okay, that, I at least have) and then at the end, it's like, oh yeah, and it pays $30k. WTF???

I am so anxious about the results of this election. Bah. I'm going to work it out on the treadmill and then play some Fallout 3 to ease the pain. ;)

I do not by any means want to start a political debate.. I am not that into politics, and i am not trying to defend or put down either candidate.. but as a woman, i am cheering for obama. McCain's views on woman's rights were so ancient. Our right to choose was endangered. He wanted to overturn Roe vs Wade.. He voted against legislation to improve sex education classes for teens, to make insurance cover birth control, and to support uninsured/ low income mothers with necessary medical assistance. If that was the only platform i was listening to.. it was enough!

Oh and I support the pineapple farm... :)

Heather Zombie said:

I'm hating the fact that Obama won the election.
I wasn't too fond of McCain either, but I think I would have rather had him win.
