An Idea Is Bulletproof

In my crazy amount of job searching I have arrived at a couple of rants

Firstly, people who are hiring nannys, pay your nanny more than $350 a week to look after two kids (one toddler and one infant!) 44hrs/week of work. That's so little money for such a tough job. Honestly respect your kids more than that, pay the money it takes to hire someone perfect for them, not just whomever will take the money because they desperately need it. That's around $8 an hour. Which is totally spiffy if you're paying a babysitting, but in terms of giving employment to someone, that's not kind. I'm not looking into nanny jobs but I see the ads. I got paid far better than that for 1 kid who was 9 years old. Babies are hard work, pay your nanny well for parenting them for you.

Secondly, office jobs that want 3-5 years of experience, and then want to pay $9/hr. Who on earth are you getting who has decent experience but who will work for so little cash? and if you are getting super talented people then for gods sake pay them better! Why get someone who will have to work a second job on the weekends just to be able to support themselves and their family because you won't pay a decent living wage?

I am so idealistic. I want the world to be more fair. Why should people be employed (and I mean really full time, adult job, employed, not employed as I currently am) and not be able to afford to live fairly comfortably? Just basic things, food, rent and a few fun extras, and that's sometimes beyond an employed person, there's something drastically wrong with that.

Tonight I've been looking up jobs, I have a lot to apply to tomorrow but still, I feel so limited which is my own fault, still depressing though. Also I was looking into going back to school, college this time, not university... still depressing. Also at this point it would mean putting working life on hold and really I don't know if I want to do that.

So much to think about.

Also I should look into temp agencies soonish if nothing fulltime pans out soon.

Job searching is depressing. Thus far I've learned that there are many many jobs in the world that I do not want to do, and still more that I am not technically qualified to do. If I : A. was less picky and B. had any any idea of what I really wanted to do, this would all be much easier.

To make myself feel better I played with photoshop and entered myself in pretty much every icontest I wanted to this week lol. Now it's time to read more of Bleak House.

Also my brother and I have been watching silly amounts of South Park recently (due to Futurama always being the reruns we've seen 5+ times) and damn does that show make me laugh. The one tonight about voting between a giant douche and a turd sandwitch really was how I feel about the current electoral situation some days. Tres amusant.

And yes, I did just talk about reading a Dickens book and then about watching South Park.
