"'In the time it takes to go buy a magic marker and find a piece of cardboard for a sign, those people could've walked into McDonald's or something like it and said "Could I work here?" and they'd gladly give them a job with benefits. They'll even give them a uniform to wear.'"

ah, yes! the answer is so simple! everything works neatly in theoretical white-middle-class-privilege land! funny, i have a feeling that if mr. cameron was said mcdonald's manager, he wouldn't give "those people" the time of day, much less a job with benefits. go here to comment, and for more background and commentary.

why do i have a feeling katie's small group book, though completely different in scope and topic, may be just as frustrating as the book my small group read last fall?

i still don't have a new phone. i'm indecisive. sometimes. and also... i'm thinking.

some of my most favorite [and most frequently called] people in the whole wide world use cingular. of course, some of my most favorite people in the whole wide world also use sprint, but oddly enough, most of them are local; in one case i can see their house from mine which surely makes a less than compelling reason to stay with the service. anyway, unlike sprint, mobile-to-mobile minutes are standard for cingular users... very tempting. it's been noted elsewhere that this may be a very bad idea, but it sure sounds like fun. and the whole night time minutes thing doesn't work so well when you have strictly mobile friends in mountain standard time.

[sidenote, survey, public service announcement, and commentary: am i the only person on earth that still has a landline? if you need to call me and there is at least a 50/50 chance that i am home, CALL MY LANDLINE FIRST. this seems obvious to me, but maybe i'm just weird like that.]

cingular users: are you happy with cingular? what are your experiences with billing? customer service? do you like your plan? pricing? phone? does it work well in this particular area? all other [cingular related] miscellaneous factoids are welcome.

my only reservation about all of this is that aside from their inane phone rebate regulations, i have never had a major problem with sprint in the almost four years i've used their service. it's a little like my good landlord situation. only not.

so, internet: what say you? should i stay or should i go?

i bet the scrambler is a totally different experience at 44 degrees, in the dark.

i keep rereading this, and still keep laughing out loud.
