An 84 year old woman is "lucky" to still be waiting tables.

"It's shocking that in the richest most powerful nation in the world, an 84 year old woman has to be grateful that she still has a job and a paid-for roof over her head. The CNN correspondents must have been shocked, as I was, to see this woman, bent over with osteoporosis, carrying plates and taking orders ar her age and wondered what had gone wrong in our society that such a thing could be necessary, right?

"Well, not exactly:

"Guttierez: 'You look at somebody like Mildred, she's 84 years old. She's still waiting tables, but she's doing it to supplement her social security income. The most important thing here is that she has no mortgage. [...] She doesn't have the monkey on her back that we all have and so she doesn't have to worry.'"




... WHAT.



I burst into tears when I read this. How humiliatingly cruel!
Those self-righteous bastards!

All I want.

ALL I WANT.

Is a working computer.

That's all.

That's it.


I tried installing Word on this bitch, and it went down. Viruses! I can't get my main drive to stay up, despite running an antivirus AND doing a system restore. It keep BSoDing me.


I can get a new internal drive for about $70, but I sure as hell can't afford a legal copy of Windows. And I'm going to lose everything at this rate-- my old assignments, my stories, my resume, everything.

Today SUCKS.
