I Voted...Career politicians-0, Fresh Ideas 1

I spent the day at work reading stuff online. Not all day mind you, but during those times my brain was turning mushy from working on a project budget to squeeze more savings and improve the overall cost to a previously approve contract.

I checked the news about things, and noticed that there was a story about how many unionized government jobs in the cities and counties of broke California were telling the union to stop being such jerks...a job with less benefits and lower pay was better than NO JOB...a sentiment I, unfortunately am well acquainted with.

For those of you that enjoy stories of the rich getting bashed, take heart that Canice who once was on the path to a six figure income is now making nowhere near that, after a several thousand dollar a year cut. And it looks like I will probably have to give more to keep my job, which means working even more years to put away enough to even think about retirement. More importantly though, my daughter may face a layoff, and I fear her and her under employed husband could lose the home they scrimped and saved to buy just last month.

So as i entered the polls, i resolved that the f__ktards that got us in this mess should not think for a minute i give crap about their career...who said political office was a career field anyway? I don't remember ever visiting a Politician booth in college on Career Day?

Same goes for multiBillionaires trying to get elected- WHY? Like Meg Whitman here in California spending $80 million on the PRIMARY...WTF? 

Hope you all voted, because if you didn't, your silence just as surely screwed us over as anything...

PS, sorry if I got a little bit on a rant, OK?

  1. I understand how you feel. I am an alien and can't vote, but I am glad that people like yourself are voting.
    I lost benefits at my work starting back in 2009. The job itself finally disappeared in April. There was some question of whether the shop would come above water again, however I am not very confident right now. So I have been looking for work.
