Got turned down for yet more jobs again today. Many temporary agencies are not hiring, many government contractors are not hiring - and that probably won't change till after the new President takes office. No-one wants to hire too many people, only to find out the jobs are cut, etc...
Friendship Hospital for Animals turned me down as well today. :( I really enjoyed the time I spent there (about 3 hours last week) observing the patient care, etc... Oh well just another tick mark in companies that don't want me... http://www.friendshiphospital.com/index.html
Hayfield Veternary Clinic didn't want me either - so I spent a few hours driving down, taking a tour, etc. before they figured out that my resume didn't have any experience. Then they started asking questions - idiots. Can't you read BEFORE I come down for the interview...?? http://www.hayfieldanimalhospital.com/
Like I said before, there's always f'n EFI. They're still hiring, I probably cannot do anything useful with my life, so why not go back... Poor Mari is working like 20 jobs and 30 hours a day, 8 days a week to keep my arse looking for jobs...

GREEN PARTY
BTW: Cynthia McKinney is the leader for the Green Party Nomination…
She is (1) a woman, and (2) of African ancestry... Also has many great things going for her. Therefore, she may win the nomination of the Green Party over Nader. But we shall see...
Although not one of my suggestions from before, she does rank pretty high in people who could actually get changes to occur.
She is most notable for introducing Articles of Impeachment (surprise for something OTHER than a BJ in the Oval Office - novel idea!)...
"At the end of the 2006 legislative session, McKinney introduced articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush as (H Res 1106), which makes three charges against Bush: manipulating intelligence and lying to justify the war in Iraq, failing to uphold accountability and violating privacy laws with his domestic spying program.
The second article also makes charges against Vice President Dick Cheney for helping to "fix" the intelligence in order to justify the Iraq War, and against Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for making false statements concerning Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction program."

CN Tower has officially lost its title.
The CN Tower is no longer the world's tallest free-standing structure.... As of September 2007, the Burj Dubai became the tallest...
* There are taller TV broadcasting towers; however, these are all supported by cables and other methods and are not freestanding!
Tallest Structures in the World:
01) Burj Dubai - 2,064 feet (as of 7 April, 2008) - 160 stories now still rising (see #1 below)
02) CN Tower - 1,815 feet (highest observation plat-form at 1,465 feet)
03) Sears Tower Antenna - 1,730 feet (inhabited to 1,451 feet - roof)
**) WTC Antenna - 1,727 feet (inhabited to 1,368 feet - roof)
04) Taipei 100 - 1,671 feet (tallest inhabited building)
05) Shanghai World Financial Center - 1,614 feet
06) Troll-A Platform - 1,549 feet (highest object ever moved to a different location)
07) BREN Tower - 1,516 feet (tower for science research in Nevada)
08) Petronas Towers - 1,482 feet
______________
(#1) - The Burj Dubai is rumored to reach a height of 2,736 feet which would make it precisely the height of the WTC towers put atop each other.

The Green Party can finally win - if they want to!
The green party could actually win this time around.
Nader needs to step down from Presidential candidate to VP and ask Gore to be the Presidential candidate.
The two of them can do alot of good for our country; however, Nader does not have the charisma to win an election - I think he's proven this time and time again.
IF Hillary steals the nomination (Bush-esque) then I will NOT vote for the clintoncrats again. It isn't like the dem's have been doing anything good in the congress since winning, so why would they start to do so now - especially under such a corrupt leader.
Hillary = McCain with only a minor amount of self-control...
