Or, The Do’s and Don’ts of Posting or Submitting Your Resume for Consideration.
I spend the vast majority of my time at work staring at resumes. Downloading resumes. Forwarding resumes to my account. Deleting resumes. Rejecting resumes. Laughing over resumes. There are just some things that I...
Now I have until October 8th to find a new job. In the meantime, I’m going to file for unemployment because, y'know what? Unemployment pays more a month than fucking Giant.
Y'know what, Giant? I’m SORRY that my health problems prohibit me from taking EVERY OPEN SHIFT in the store. I’m SORRY my aforementioned health problems make me have to leave early, or call out, or go to the doctor five times in as many months. But you know what else?
You’re. All. Assholes.
After nearly seven months of working at Giant, I was told TODAY that part timers have unlimited time off. I was told TODAY that I can just tell people weeks ahead of time that I need a day off for this or that. Gee, thanks for making me miss so many days because you fucking people have it on the time clock website that you only get four fucking days off. That reeeeeally helped me. Also, does NO ONE understand that if your SPINE is FUCKED UP, you CANNOT FUCKING WORK AS MUCH AS OTHER PEOPLE WITH NON-FUCKED UP SPINES? I can’t bag a shitton of items by myself. I can’t lift half of what other people can lift, and I need to fucking SIT DOWN inbetween orders. So FUCK YOU. Yes, I need to get water a lot - which should be fine because I’m in FULL VIEW OF THE WHOLE FRONT END WHILE I’M AT THE WATER FOUNTAIN. Don’t TELL me that I need to find a check out coach or manager to go get fucking water. Bathroom I can understand, but not fucking water.
Fuck all of you. I am trashing this company every chance I get, especially the Warrington Giant. FUCK Warrington Giant.

Ravitch is the queen. If only the government would listen…
We would also address poverty directly. We would increase the minimum wage and make post-secondary education cheap or free, and we’d improve improve unemployment benefits and offer free job-training to the unemployed.
Poverty is one of the few social ills where throwing money at the problem really does seem to work.
These are not radical, liberal ideas. In fact, in Europe most of them are associated with the more conservative parties, and many of them were associated with the American Republican party in the 80s. But the United States’s political climate is so different from anywhere else in the industrialized world that I fear we will just continue to get farther behind in education (and in % of people living in poverty) until we decide to make some big domestic investments.
Remember that time Disney made a movie about intercultural unconventional PoC families trying to deal with CPS, unemployment, racism, colonialism, grief, and anger, and nobody was a princess?
I know, it seems pretty improbable.
I made this for my friend. Chance who works on da Simpsons as a layout artist. He started a petition so that artists can get residuals from working on stuff and things. Read more about it at unitedwebrand.org
I think it’s a pretty good idea because once you’re laid off you never see anything after the show/project you’re working on aside from unemployment. In light of the layoffs at Dreamworks, Rhythm and Hues and other places where artists are kind of left hanging with nothing it sure would have been nice if they had seen some of the cut after the fact. writers get residuals so why not us?
anyway. blablaba it’s worth a try. an ol’ college try. nyuk nyuk

Signed and support this 100%!!!
Everyone needs to sign this. Even if you aren’t in the industry. If you know artists of any kind or enjoy the work they create, sign it. Do you like movies or cartoons or comics? SIGN IT!
HEY YOU.
Do you not know what residuals are?
“A residual is a payment made to the creator of performance art (or the performer in the work) for subsequent showings or screenings of the (usually filmed) work. A typical use is in the payment of residuals for television reruns. The word is often used in the plural form.”
In other words, residuals are money given to the artists based on how well their work does after it’s released. Residuals are the reason JK Rowling is richer than the queen of england [or so I’ve heard]. RESIDUALS ARE FRIGGIN IMPORTANT AND IT IS SO UNACCEPTABLE THAT ANIMATORS DON’T GET THEM.
I think today warrants the ability to make a Tumblr post during my hiatus.
I got an interview at Children of America and they want me to come in for a training day with the babies - if they like me during that day, they’ll hire me. ^_^ Yay!!! My unemployment may be coming to an end!!
Now, pictures.
1. Xiaomei says “Good morning everyone! Aren’t I cute?”
2. Me and Shawn are cute.
3. Shawn found a friiiieeeeend. ^_^
And we are happy about my almost employment, as I’ve hardly been getting anything but rejection letters. Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!!
In Britain, students don’t begin paying off their loans until they find stable employment, and the cost is in proportion to their earnings. Australia similarly ties the cost of paying off the loan to the income of the graduate. In Denmark, education is considered a right by the people and an investment by the government, and is therefore free. Some students are even offered a stipend by the government to defray costs. Norway has a similar system of higher education, and in Sweden, students pay only a small fee.
In America? The university is considered a commodity, one that can easily be purchased by the wealthy, but not the poor. These approaches represent a fundamentally different cultural attitude: elsewhere, education is a public good, an investment or a right; in the U.S., it’s a privilege reserved for wealthy elites.
Be careful who you vent to.
Realest shit I’ve heard all morning. (via itsthelesbiana)
Reblogging this again for all of my college grads and who have found employment. Your co-workers, about 95%, are not your friends.

In 29 States You Can Be Fired For Being Gay [Infographic]
Barack Obama tweeted his support for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act on Monday morning. “It’s time to put aside politics and extend basic workplace protections for LGBT Americans” the site’s campaign said.
Obama tweeted the infographic:
In 29 states, no state law protects you from being fired for being gay. Let’s fix that: http://OFA.BO/SfVv1Z #ENDA
It’s 34 states for trans* people.
The 5 states have protections for cis queer people, but exclude trans* people are: New York, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Maryland, and Delaware.
