summer jobs suck...!!!

I got another job, not much different than the last one. Instead of pushing hardware I’m pushing paper. The good news is that I work have the time and still make a little bit more. The bad news is that I don’t get to listen to the radio as much…NPR.

I was working at this place called tailgater…they make latter thinamagijjers for cars...electric. There are lots of little part to put together…it like an assembly plant and it mind numbing boring…or it was. What I did was take my little radio and just listen to National Public Radio all day…for ten hours. The way the company worked it is that they ask employees to come for four day but to work for ten hours…I had to wake up at 5 am to start at 6am and went til 4;30. I would listen to both U.S. and Mexican politics all day…that was interesting. Them politicians on both sides of the boarder are full of shit…you see I follow politics but I don’t really believe in them…I have never voted. I don’t believe in it…it is rigged. I refuse to get into that emotional roller coaster and get caught up in shit that is going to be the same either way. I’m not so pessimistic about everything in life, just politics….for the record I do believe in community organizing and such…that’s were the real change happens.

Anyways the job I have now is working at the adult school…I only work 5 hours (though I want more). This is only a temp job while I got back to school…which should be in a about a month. Last semester finally…then another two more year for my masters. I’m still trying to figure out what exactly I want to focus on…hopefully reading cornell west helps…it always does. He’s pretty cool except for his religious stuff…if anybody else has any other philosophers in mind....

Going to visit my mother next weekend in long beach…its been a while since I have seen her, it should be good. I’m going to take her to Universal Studios…it’s going to be my first time too.

My honey and I ran the wharf to wharf in Santa Cruz this weekend. It was pretty cool their was about 16,000 people that ran the race. Their was beach ball being bounced around at the start line before the race and tons of bands along the race. I did my best time yet, finishing it in 49 minutes (6.23 miles) last time I did it was 57 minutes…for this one the course was hilly the last one was flat. I did each mile in less than 8 minutes …7.9 to be exact. This is huge…it has only been a year and a half that I committed my self to this and I am steadily progressing…it triatholon or bust for November….wish me luck…
