I'm usually not this serious, especially before my second or third cup o' coffee...but this is an issue! As most people around me know, I have gone back to work at a low paying retail job...I was hired as a 'part time sales associate' and I have been pimping ever since to get full time hours. Yesterday my boss calls me into the office and says I have been changed to a full time associate, eligible for health care benefits. At first, I was thrilled. I have not had health care in over three years! When I took the packet home to read, I realized that I could not afford it! If your paycheck was $186 USD and the cost of health care weekly is $60 USD then what the fuck? I can't afford this shit, I'm broke! Which leads me to my point, I swear I have one...I watched Obama's speech Wed. night and I could not believe there are still idiots that are afraid of so-called socialism and reforms to the health care system! People, this country NEEDS help in this area...a lot of my friends have NO health insurance...and these are people that are closer to 40 than 30 these days!(pant*pant)
Moving on...do you ever feel that you should hide your fave foods because your kids find them and eat it all? I am having my coffee with NO Fruity Pebbles because those sneaky piggies ATE all my damn cereal then trotted off to school, happy as you please...
Also, its fucking cold. I know that people in places like Sweden or Finland are laughing at my wimpy statement, but I just want to be warm again...to wear flip-flops or soak my toes in some sand...that would be 'mythical sand' because I live in a town squished between two mountain ranges, hours away from the coast!
Lastly, I am pretty sure I need glasses. My eyes seem to be strained and blurry most of the time...I hope that I can get an eye exam and at least look smart on a daily basis!
Okay friends...this was a little preachy, but it needed to be said!
Drink one for me, I have to go to work!
