Nothing like a call from M&M to remind you how pathetic you are. Well, truth be told, I already was well aware of how pathetic I am, but I do like how M&M think I have forgotten.
Anyhow, it has come to my attention that I, in addition to all of the other temps, will soon be out of work. I would like to take this moment to address all candidates and remind them that "Joe, the plumber" makes a killing. You know who does not? Garbage C-can the attorney. You see, in a recent effort to seek comfort from my brethren, I have been asking them what they have been up to since the economy has taken a turn for the worst. I dare say, I am well aware that even legitimate attorneys are taking a hit and there is no reason why those of us who have emerged from sewage should not. However, when real attorneys take a hit, they get like six months severance packages. When garbigities take a hit, they collect unemployment.
Needless to say, M&M were anything but sympathetic to my plight. In their imaginations, I begged to go to law school throughout my childhood and was sitting on the opposite side of the table from Atticus Finch debating the virtues of justice over some juicy cups, well in our case diet sodas and coffee. Well no, M&M that is not what happened at all. In fact, as far back as I can recall Atticus Finch was told he was going to be president and I was told I was going to be a wife and there was no room for arguing this point. I am like ready to kill them because this weekend they reminded me that if I could not make a career for myself, then I am going to have to collect welfare. I needed to remind them that I would not be sitting around five and a half years post college graduation still negotiating a career had I not been rudely interrupted by an institution that carries a worse stigma than a gold star in Nazi Germany.
Well anyhow, so I started thinking about welfare and told them that a) there are many steps one takes before collecting welfare (as exemplified by fellow garbigities who are collecting unemployment) and b) if they let me go on welfare, I will have to bid them farewel(l).

YEAH OKAY I CARE
Last night, d/shit and I took it upon ourselves to become part of the NY Cares organization wherein we will be involved in well, caring.
It occurred to me over the course of this orientation that I have cared for quite some time. As in high school, I volunteered to tutor, assist senior citizens and went to Ghana for Christ's sake. Regardless, I failed to pay too much attention to what this champion of charity was saying up until he started talking about cleaning up garbage/debris in the inner city schools. This is something I might be interested in, but what I really wanted to suggest is that if NY cares so much, why in God's name are they not cleaning up the institution and the soda cans that attend my Alma Mata, Garbage.
Look, am I the only one who really thinks it's not so much Wall Street that should have suffered the direct blow to the economy, but the streets that surround Wall Street as in Lower Broadway, White Street, Chambers, oh and cross street 21st and Broadway where there lies a free standing toilet which will remain nameless?? At least the people who worked on Wall Street have all their limbs and feed themselves with utensils. Additionally, M&M wanted me to marry one.
If NY bloody cares so much, than let's really clean up the streets of Manhattan and advocate that the lower Manhattan as in the toilets that lie in or around Wall Street are plunged. In an effort to jump start this mission, I am going to contact my NY cares team leader with the following project:
On 10/17/08, I suggest we all meet at the 1/9 stop on Franklin Street Stop and march over to the nearest academic institution with shovels, hard hats and clean up the debris. Then, sell the space to NYU.
