Sunday again!
I can't believe it's been a week again since I posted last. I am so neglectful. I apologize. Not much has happened - well, I quit my cushy coffeehouse job. Turns out it stopped being so cushy. The work hadn't changed but the atmosphere sure did. It is just so discouraging, it seems nice people who become business owners immediately turn into capitalist grinding machines! Yeah, I know that personnel expenses are usually a big if not the biggest chunk of money a business owner has to spend but hey, if you're providing jobs, you have entered the realm of being part of someone's life who deserves to be treated fairly. It's sad. It seems everyone secretly wishes artificial intelligence had already been invented and we could once and for all get rid of this nasty thing called "human" when it comes to staffing.
Brrr. I decided that without the nice atmosphere the coffeehouse job really didn't provide much more than just a tiny paycheck and that I can get anywhere, really. So I'm letting Manpower find me a temp job that will carry me over financially until the lil' Souzek arrival. In the meantime, of course, I accept donations! ;)
The other thing that has really been bothering me was this story by one of the co-workers (she's around 20 I think) who desperately wants to have her stretchmarks surgically removed (which supposedly she acquired not through pregnancy but rapid weight gain/loss, don't remember exactly), because they are ah, so disgusting... plus some idiotic date had told her he couldn't stand them in girls.
Now I won't even start about the jerk of a guy, that type we know too well, but what about the girl? Sure, she does think it was inappropriate but at the same time she believes without stretchmarks her value would increase and therefore her chance of being loved. She does not see herself as much more than a combination of cute features and if those are not cute enough, she has no respect for herself anymore...
What are we coming to? How can you actually define yourself by bodily imperfections? And obediently submit yourself to someone's judgement that apart from a perfect body there is nothing to you, so if you don't have it, consider yourself unworthy...
Ew. Either I'm living in la-la-land and have the most incredible life, or their reality is warped and distorted at best. Seems like the first is true as this show recently started airing on TV.
It's official people: if your butt is not small and firm, your breasts are not the right size, your lips not full and your cheekbones not sticking out - you are not "hot" and you will never be and please don't start with all the "inner beauty"-crap because that is just a sorry excuse for being ugly and we all know that is unacceptable and disgusting!
Your point concerning the beauty-mania is really well seen, I can only agree!
But what if progress develops an AI programmed to be a capitalistic grinding machine? The only chance is, that the whole staff consists of AI machines! But what then? Are MACHINES going to quit their Jobs because they can't stand their employers???
Ich bin so froh, daß ich einen perfekten body habe, und mich deshalb das ganze nicht angeht! Und "hot" fühl ich mich auch. vor allem im sommer, wenn ich den kindern nachlaufe, und im fitness studio!!!
Also wenn jemand tips braucht nur fragen!
