I was just futzing around and went to this chick's site that I used to peruse. She took down her blog for a while and she's started a new one, with - get this - a required registration!! My god what an egomaniac!! She and I got into it because I sent her an email about some horrific grammar gaffes that she made in a post, thinking that she'd want to fix it asap, but noooo, she was all pissy that I'd take the time to help her seem like less of a redneck than she is. Too funny!! She also went on this huge rant about how sophisticated and metropolitan and NOT redneck her town of Lawrence, KS is and therefore how sophisticated she is - despite the fact that New York City intimidated her so much that she made her husband move to KS to be with her. She must be a damn good lay, because he dropped his life and moved to buttfuck KS in a hurry. Anyway, I proceeded to correct her about how truly TINY Lawrence KS is with info from the Census. Oooooo, she REALLY didn't like that!! Teehee! FYI, Lawrence, KS is a fraction of the size of my hometown of Knoxville, TN and is about the size of my neighborhood here in Atlanta. She runs realmofredheads.com and thinks the world of herself. Eh, she's a Scorpio redhead, so I guess it's to be expected. I really don't think I fit that mold. God, if I do, please shoot me now!! I know for a fact that if I had horrible grammar and spelling in a post, I'd want to know immediately so I could fix it!! Who wouldn't (aside from a raging redneck who thinks she's beyond reproach)? But you know what? She broke me of trying to help out anyone with their blog (except the ones I run). If you read like an illiterate chimp, baby, don't expect me to help you out. Use the fucking spellcheck for chrissakes! Since then, I've taken to NEVER posting comments to blogs because people are just too illiterate to care. The bad spelling and grammar I see everyday in blogs is appalling. Americans are stupid illiterate lazy assholes for the most part and judging by the low level of literacy displayed daily in blogs across the internet, I see no way to dispute that.
One bright spot in the drudgery of today was that I got my ring! I wrote about it in the Rant and there is a pic over there, too. But other than that, it was generally a suck ass day by any standard. Nick is obsessing with our lack of funds and he has begun grumbling about me getting a job, so I sent out two resumes today. There is absolutely nothing available in my field, so I'm trolling for brainless jobs like receptionist or admin assistant. It's all very demoralizing since I know I'll be turned down due to being an entreprenuer. Or having too much experience. Or the employer deciding that the pay is too low for me and therefore booting me from the running. Yes, I've had all of the above happen and it sucks. The only way for me to get Nick even vaguely less twitchy is to get a real job, yet I'm rejected at the outset because of my extensive resume and obvious age. I see no way to win this predicament. None. So, my situation sucks ass and I am very unhappy. Nick doesn't understand any of it, since he is perfectly content to work for assholes who have no intention of paying him any extra for the two, yes TWO jobs he does for them now. He has no idea of the extreme irritation I feel about being rejected for monkey work. It's very frustrating for me. And on top of that, my cute girl friends are poised to make lots of money in the escort biz by simply doing what they do anyway: bdsm play. They are cute and skinny and it's just too frustrating for words. As a matter of fact, it's making me ill just writing about it.
Therefore, I will stop.
