One of the many benefits of working many and various jobs with values like yours is that you get to experience a multitude of different settings, giving you broader insight into labor conditions and the real state of the working class. It can be a real populist education if you let it.
Hmm, not really sure what you're saying here but I don't think there'll be a value change between working for the government and writing pleasant lies for private industry, let alone any fresh insights into the real state of the working class.
If you're saying I lack perspective on the lives of the poor then that's your judgement, but I would like to remind you that I lived in a peasant village in a third world country for six months so I do have some idea of what the really poor go through.
People I meet in the course of the newspaper job are likely to be as middle-class as I am.
But being out of work sucks.
I'm not out of work, I'm just looking for a career change, so I'm not really suffering for lack of funds, it's just a lifestyle thing.
Tell the newspaper guys Gid sent ya. Of course they'll look at you strange having no farking clue who I am, but it'll boost my ego to be name dropped on t'other side of the world, and on the one-in-a-million chance they've actually heard of me, and the even smaller chance that they agree with my politics, it might help. Just don't forget what you learned about Google and ya should be fine (lol)!
Isn't your nickname from literature? The paper itself is as literate as major metropolitans get so maybe they would know it.
Hope things get to looking better for yas. Have a beer for me next time you're out, allright?
just did so, although i believe the technical term is jagerbomb.
