Today's News

I just found out that the stupid crappy paralegal job would start me at Grade 7 - this is exciting since the IRS has me at a 5. That's the difference between $14.85 and $18.40 an hour. It's also more than several lawyer jobs I've interviewed (and apparently not been qualified) for. Of course, as I have alluded to previously, I would be doing something fairly morally reprehensible. But it would be such a much easier commute. So now I'm slightly less annoyed that I have to miss half a day of paid training to go.

Tomorrow, speaking of things that are morally reprehensible, I have to go to the DMV to get a new driver's license and register my car in this stupid state. I'm taking a few hours off from my awful temp job and going in the morning in the hopes that the illiterate degenerates won't have had time to line up in front of me. So hopefully it'll just be me and the other unemployed uberlosers. The only catch is that I can't find my title. Do you think they'll just take it for granted that I own my car? Yeah, me neither. Luckily the dear, sweet state of Maryland, which I wish I could keep my cute little license plates from forever, will let me print a new one right off the internet. For a fee though. Stupid fees I can't afford! I shake my fist at you!!!

I just found out my next Spanish class is going to be just me and one other person. What do you think the chances are that this person is smart and cool and not some kind of nervous twitching super freak? Pretty slim I'd say. I got a voicemail from the school today and it sounds like they're condensing the class to 2 hours down from 3, which is kind of nice on the one hand, and kind of makes me feel like they're screwing me out of my money on the other. I've got to hurry up and get motivated to study before next Wednesday. I want to be the smart one going in.
