My life…
Posted by High Priestess Kang as Personal
…as a consultant…
The average day now consists of:
- wake up
- stare at news
- throw on suit
- drive to work
- drop spores under fluorescent lighting
- molder in meetings
- demonstrate mad spreadsheet wizardry with formulas and graphs (yet - I couldn’t pass a math class at Uni if I tried)
- drink lunch over sink in kitchen
- more meetings, spreadsheets and spore dropping
- get in car
- rot in traffic
- come home
- kick dog (not really)
- get abused by cats
- hop over various guitar projects in living room
- eat take-away
- stare at tv
- troll internets
- fall asleep with book on face
Seriously. I absophuckinglutely love my job. I really do. And now that I have hired someone to clean up the house and take care of neglected domestic duties, I’m free to focus on work work work. w00t! The best part about being a consultant - no one micromanages you. No one tells you what to do. Particularly if you’re not having to truly log face time with the customer. Just throw on a suit, pull up a complex spreadsheet and people have a tendency to steer clear.
Now…if I could only find the time to address my neglected social responsibilities, I would be good to go. As it stands right now, I’m fighting the urge to fall asleep before the end of American Idol. Damn HenrythePenguin for getting me hooked on this shit. Damn David Cook for reminding me of a younger version of Dock Ellis.
Lastly…Obama or Clinton? The primary is two weeks away and I’m actually undecided. I’m one of those idiots I criticize ad nauseam for not being able to make up her mind. Hooray for gross indifference.

K, I am not a political person per se… but I don’t see how you can vote for a person that will not salute the American flag or the Pledge. I will not vote for a man that defends a reverend that extols” God Damn the US” He’s like a person that promises you everything, and then you find out he is not what he says he is. Yes, change is good , but you must have a plan to back it up. NO, I am not a Hillary fan, but good grief, there is no other choice as I see it At least she has some plan for change and can iterate it. He is a good speaker, period. Regardless, let’s get the Bush admin out of here. Long past due.
Assuming I don’t write in Kucinich, I’ll probably end up going Hillary. But then, the only candidate I really felt good about got pushed out of the race, so…
Dock asked me if I was going to write in Kucinich. Typically, I would…to prove a point. However, considering the dynamics of the race, I think it’s best to make a decision.
And the decision is (insert drum roll here)
Hillary.
Hillary.
Hillary.
The more I think about it, I’m just not comfortable with Obama. I would vote for him in the General, but certainly not the primary.
I want to like Obama, I want to like him so bad. No, scratch that, I think I do like Obama. Like I think he’d be an okay guy to hang out with. The kind of guy you’d have over to your house for a BBQ. An okay kind of guy. So why do I think he wouldn’t be a good president, at least better than the abortion we have now? No idea. Maybe it’s fear of the unknown. Clinton is a known quantity. She knows the Whitehouse, she’s seen the how the gig plays out up close and personal. There are flaws in every administration, and her husband’s had its share, no doubt, but compared to the rabid pork-barelling and power-grubbing that’s gone on the past 8 years, the Clinton administration seems almost idyllic.
So maybe my lack of excitement for Obama isn’t for Obama, maybe it’s because the past eight years have been so horrific and depressing and disheartening that something we know isn’t that bad is looking good.
I keep trying to find the warm fuzzies for Obama and I fall up short.
He reminds me a bit too much of Kerry.
