^It was understaffed at my last job (at food lion, a grocery store), and it was pretty bad, I was doing most everything whenever I was working.

It was so easy last year, but now, it's so difficult to find one.

Man, that really is tough, best of luck to you, and make sure you don't work somewhere that is incredibly understaffed if you can avoid it. You will relate hate your job.

My Office Depot is short.

1 manager with one manage leaving

2 techs with our only tech becoming a manager

3 stockers

2 cashiers

that is really really really bad, but it's nice job security...

I find it very interesting. Politics is a game and I have to admit it fascinates me. However, it's a game I could never play and like I said....I would have no shot...for a few reasons.

Democrats suck cock cause they can't seem to get their Neo-Conservative tendencies out of their mind, while the Republicans are nearing Neo-Fascism!

There are politicians that are good within both parties, but however, it seems America is no longer a democracy, but more like an oligarchy. Free ideas are not around anymore and are not circulated anymore.

Anyways

I really like Political Philosophy, but my interest in pure politics keeps consistently dropping.

Ansen, you desparately need something to do with your time. Do you talk to anyone?

. The reason I'm leaning away from History is because one of the main things that interests me (or used to) is WW2, but I'm so opposed to war now that I'm beginning to loathe the subject. Also, I want to be constantly "in the know" and on the cutting edge of what's happening technology- and culture-wise, with a progressive job, and IMO teaching is quite the opposite: quite stagnant, especially in the subject of history. So I don't really know what I'm going to do. I was planning on getting the basic credits for college first anyway and then focusing on a major. I just don't want to be involved in the management aspects of a corproation. That puts me off, but I'll be looking around.

hmmm... just remember a great way to understand the now.. is to understand how we got to the now.... try to consider the situation in the middle east if you don't understand the history of it. I loved history... I took a class on South Asia (India/Pakistan) and it opened a whole new world to me and a different way of seeing things. Seriously consider history..

I do understand the basic history of the world without going into much detail, so I'm well aware as the next guy on how we got to where we are. It depresses me further. I want to distract myself as much as possible. Thus, a career in politics is out of the question.

I seriously considered a career in politics.. love it as much as history and math actually.. however
my career in politics was derailed the day an ex-girlfriend made off with a videotape of me in drag in New Orleans at a gay bar...

Nah, look how far George Bush got.

oh yeah good example.... if I ran against Al Gore and John Kerry... I'd probably win as well LOL

What has happened to my beloved Demorcratic party... Ouch

Well have a good night Stonie.. I'm off into the sunset.. another day closer to death....

What college are you going to?

Not sure yet, but my mother is a professor of communications at a university in town and has connections to a web of colleges that would offer me free tuition because of her status. I'm thinking about going to one of those for the first two years and seeing if I want to stay or go somewhere else. Who can argue against a free education?

I do want to get out of Indiana, though. It's a dead-end.

Good idea. My local county college offers 2 years free if you're in the top 20% of your class.

Oh I know the feeling....I was torn on staying home or going away. I like New Jersey....but I think I needed to get away from my NYC suburban town for a bit.
