I'm a female in my mid to late 20s and so no one wants to hire me unless I burn a baby carriage in front of them and swear to god I hate children and would never want to have a child, then I am given a certain number of baby scalps to collect to show my true feelings and motivation for the job. if I really want the job I'll bring back 50 baby scalps and also get a hysterectomy. but even then I have to put my hand on the dictionary and swear to the great god capitalism I'll never want a child, never want a husband. no I'm not a lesbian (unless you want me to be) and I'll never say no if you want to bend me over a desk. yes I promise I'll put in 60 hours a week and never even look at a child unless you think the baby is a promising new market for cell phones.

my wife is employed, in her late twenties, and able to fid work without doing those things.

that's pretty lucky, three women I know who are also in their late twenties and gainfully employed with good reviews were laid off in the last six weeks

I think it depends in large part on the industry you're in. I don't know what sort of work you're looking for, but my wife does IT consulting and general auditing stuff, and she is able to find a job anywhere p much. On the other hand, I am in a different sector that isn't quite so flexible or open.

ya there's no way in hell im doing that lol

It sounded pretty lame to me at first too, but I went last year and there were a few LF vets in the crowd (mostly from the 2010 election megathread, "Mid-Terms Ahoy: This Time With 50% More Batshit Wingnuts") and it was a riot. I ended sloppily making out with some girl who is a Pet Island posting superstar too, lmao

ok

don't get too worried. if you hit bottom you can always take the amtrak up to montreal and become my slavic mail order bride. at half-rent we could live off part-time jobs and spend the rest of the time listening to godspeed you! black emperor (a montreal band btw) while staring at the ceiling. i'd say something like "i think i've forgotten how to love" and you'd whisper prayers in arabic while shaking, although it isn't cold.

im guessing that maybe nobody wants to hire you because of your attitude and generalized meth-eyed paranoia, not because theyre terrified of you squirting out a little Skyler or Abdul
