Washu's Unemployment Saga pt 1

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 22, 2008, 8:58 PM
  • Mood: Unhappy
  • Reading: want ads
Well Party People
I am an unemployed bum living on welfare and generally lazing about.

NOT

It would seem that tBP got the drop on me and sacked me before I could quit.
"We are experiencing a downturn in the economy and need to prioritize our financial resources."

Bullshit.
"We are sacking you because we can't afford to pay your ass," is more correct.
So, I have been haunting Craigslist and Wifey's university and CareerBuilder and CalJOBS and headhunters and temp agencies looking for work.

four weeks on and all I have had was one and a half weeks covering a receptionist

yay

BTW, I do NOT ever recommend going on the dole. Nothing is more humiliating than having mail from the state sent to your old name - especially after having jumped through hoops to get it changed in the first place - and then having to jump through a million and one more hoops just to find out that I don't qualify for much of anything (I got $85 for the past four weeks...granted, I made like $800 from the temp job) Anyway, I am trying to get into Paralegal training because I can't afford law school (not without $100,000 in loans - like anyone would give a tranny that kind of cash to go to school in the first place)

all before the state funding dries up.
yay

gender identity is not the same as sexual orientation. meaning, the one you love has nothing to do with what's between your legs. Bio males and Bio females enter into homosexual relationships, why not trans-folk?

Hello! I've never spoken to you before, but I was skimming your comic (backwards - I haven't gotten to the begining yet) and followed a link here.

I know you (probably) aren't an expert, but I have a question for you about transness. Can someone be one gender, feel like another, but like the same one they feel like?

If that was confusing, let me clarify. Say someone born XY is actually XX inside. They want their body to match, yadda yadda. But what if they're attracted to females, not males? Are they really trans, or just confused, or... what do you think?

Sorry for not really introducing myself first or anything. I hope this didn't seem rude.

Sorry to hear you don't LARP no more. I didn't know you had to pay for it, I just walk to a place on campus and we chat out of character for a few hours.
