Be Who You Are

"Be who you are and say what you mean, because those who mind don't
matter, and those who matter don't mind."

Religious Right; So Right, they're Wrong

warning: This message may offend. In advance, I apologize if I struck a nerve. I accept any and all criticism you may have in objection to my view.

While the Religious Right push their agenda of 'Intelligent Design', "Science" is viewed as less and less important to our society.

Take the abortion issue. When Roe vs. Wade was implemented, Birth Control choices were few. Today, after millions of taxpayer funding in drug research, we now have numerous choices for men and women. The Religious Right, could actually, if they weren't so ridiculously anti-Science, make the case that abortion is not needed due to the technological advancements in our Sciences.
The Religious Right, in their staunch refusal to acknowledge the vitality of Science, is keeping our society from growing and bettering our opportunities to freedoms, liberties, and pursuing happiness.

Can't we have both God and Science?
Or must we sacrifice Science for God?

Bait and Switch

Experienced my own Bait and Switch recently. I had responded to a job ad that read "no experience needed, will train". I was called and asked to discuss the job in person.
When I arrived, I learned the employer REALLY wanted experience. What a waste of time!!! I wanted to lash out and ask why did the ad say no experience needed if they really had no intention on training for the position? Why did they waste my time? I could have stayed home, comfy in my pajamas, sipping coffee.
Job searching has become the worse job I have ever held. I hate when I get no response after sending my resume in response to an ad. Yet I hate even more the waste of time job interview. I have interviewed for one company 4 times in the past 1.5 years. Four times. Four different job functions. I qualify for all of them. I have yet to even get a rejection letter from any of the interviews. I have taken jobs that were not really my 'specialty' solely for the fact that it was close to home or it promised to be a 6 month gig. Never reaching the full 6 months, either the project ended sooner than expected (efficiency does not pay) or I was pulled off the one job to fill a job further from home at less pay (this was an action performed by an temporary agency).

Starting my own business! I'll be my own boss. Make my own rules.
