I have a friend who has been fired from a pizza delivery firm [for an unsolicited holiday in south africa for two months without telling anyone], from a militant health spa [because they felt his diet didn't set an exemplary mark to citizens and he snuck in some burgers to the occupants] and from an old people's home, one of the cited crimes was 'agressive reading to the elderly.' Mental images. Mind imploding. What was your grandiose crime?
Heh, if you think grad school is a cakewalk, you are in for a rude awakening. I don't know how it is in Journalism, but working up to 16 hours a day for chickenfeed isn't my idea of goofing around and taking it easy. People go to grad school as a labor of love, because it is hard and it is grueling, not to avoid the rat race, but in this economy I think going is probably a good idea.
Good luck though, but somehow I think with your creds, I doubt you will need it.
i am not expecting a cakewalk, i'm expecting something more rewarding than the pathetic excuse for a life i have now. i don't mind working, i just miss thinking.
To think you once were considering becoming a hack! [The taxi kind, not the writing one.]james_rhodesFebruary 24 2010, 03:32:34 UTC
I know what you mean, my life was really bad for a couple of years, now it's bad in a totally different, stressful way! As far as thinking goes, if you don't use it, you lose it-- I became somewhat intellectually lazy.
So did you get accepted to grad school? From your post, I assume you know by now, and where are going to grad school at?

i should know by the end of March if I've gotten accepted anywhere...only applied 3 places since for obvious reasons i am geographically limited to the city.
hell, maybe i should just try to write the next 'twilight' & give up on the whole personal integrity idea...i don't think i CAN become the other kind of hack anymore - do they do background checks like every other job?
oh i did, started last month, it is kicking my ass in a way i suppose it needed to be kicked if i was ever going to do any more writing ever maybe i can even revive this zombiejournal, though there is merit in making people think i'm dead...perhaps an obituary is in the works

webpages don't get solved, they get DISsolved. or at least that's what looks like happened to this journal. someone went batshit on my design parameters at least, my background marshmallow-lady has vanished. & uh funny you should comment two days before i check that email account for the first time in almost a year. how/what/ ARE things,

1) Yes, well, PERHAPS THE MARSHMALLOW MELTING AWAY IS SOME KIND OF METAPHOR FOR REBIRTH AND UH NO.
2) Very weird!
3) HOW & WHAT: allow me to compose a sufficiently compressed version of response for a bit... this always happens because we turn into like WERE-FRIENDS at the same time after not talking for five to seven years. Think think think like a thinkin' cicada. I shall.
SORRY ABOUT YOUR FAECBOKS HOW DO I KNOW IT IS RLY YOU
