GC - Fingers Crossed!

In other news, just got my first post-diploma real full-time job check ever. And, after three reschedules, I got my "Marketing Department Lunch" and I'm filled up on Kung Pao scallops. While my breath is stinky, I'm very happy. Must buy pack of gum for desk drawer...

I hate $

As long as I don't have any, I figure I may as well hate it.

I am a contracted worker, so the Unemployment numbers make me cringe. Luckily, my contract has been extended - indefinitely - but they can pull the plug any time. Just keep swimming...

Best of luck GC! I'm rooting for ya!

Congrats on the check, BE!

Just read an article about how restaurants are losing business in part because fewer women are working. And somehow the fact that for the first time since the late 40's, the percentage of women in the workforce had dropped slightly isn't treated as huge news.

I think it definitely says something about our culture, that we women have come to the conclusion that a 2-income household isn't all it's cracked up to be.

So... GC, Borneio and I should be waitresses?

No idea how old this article is, but it's about some major artwork pieces (mostly from Sleeping Beauty) that were found in a janitor's closet in a Japanese university, and are now returned to Disney.

Also has a great shot of an Eyvind Earle background.

Either that or they're tired of working just to pay for childcare and the expenses they accrue while working.

I'm taking a gender and work class. It's very interesting to be studying this as it's changing again.

I've also noticed a significant drop in the crowds at restaurants during lunch time. More and more people are bringing their lunches. I even notice this at work as the freezer is stuffed full with frozen meals.

Theater Major dropout... I guess I should be in food service!

That's kinda what I mean. I think we as a society are realizing that the pros and cons aren't balancing out.
