it sucks looking for a job.
most of our jobs aren't real.
government handouts, i suppose.
but there wasn't anything (at all) i could apply for last week.
this week there are a couple things to apply for.
a couple things where they aren't accepting / processing the applications.
because the link doesn't work.
for a job where you are supposed to process other people's applications for...
jobs.
houses.
the hierarchy of the lowest level government workers and their... uh... the people they govern.
the 'other' who don't get jobs because they don't pass their drug test or because they couldn't get to work on time or becuase...
and me.
but a couple of those part time jobs.
that pay as much for a part time job as i would have been paid for writing a PhD thesis full time.
only i didn't get paid anything at all for writing my thesis full time.
becuase...
why would you pay me?
why would you pay me?
why would they pay me -- when they can get away with not paying me.
who is going to make them pay me?
who made them pay the teachers when they decided that it was too hard to process teacher salary payments and so they just weren't going to pay teachers for a couple months...
and how many people just kept on working... just kept on going to work...
even without being paid.
things are very corrupt, here.

anyway, i suppose it helps me understand the... dynamic... that there is. at work and income.
there aren't very many people like me, in the world.
and these people do not understand me, at all.
and a problem can be that people turn on that which they do not understand. there can be this drive for that...
i do need to find a decent paying part time job that fits in well with study. that seems fair. i am okay with that. done right... it will be more motivating, even. there is this thing that happens where arousal becomes optimal. with no work things are in danger of being too slow and then things slow down and go into hibernation mode.
of course our trouble is that things are either too fast or too slow and never just right. intentionally so. to make it such that flow never happens...
of course in some respects i am different from most people. the way i learn and so on. but in other respects i am not.
i wish i got to review / check the grading for some of the science courses i have done. to see whether people actually did as the published class lists said they did. is it really possible that i read the questions that differently from the other people in the class? how is it that this happens to me on New Zealand exams only?
i don't know that the science grading is fairly done, in New Zealand.
because we don't want to pay people for skilled work. so we pretend that they are incompetent / don't have any skills. then we don't have to pay them. then nobody else will want them because they don't think that they have any skills...

the whole low road to growth thing. we want masses and masses and masses of unskilled workers doing unskilled work for low pay.
we want the people to be stupid to spend the money on the shiny rubbish that we say they should spend their money on. clicking this and clicking that and throw throw throw throw throwing their money away...
anyway... whatever...
see things...
apply for things...once a week. i'll have a look and apply for things that don't seem too awful.
and wait.
and there we go.
This is the end of the thread.
