Wednesday, March 21, 1984

I've been lazy today and done nothing, but watch TV.  

 Why are we building military bases in Honduras without Congressional approval?  It makes me wonder who we are going to 'invade' next.

 With the high price of utilities in this state and the high corporate taxes imposed on companies, why would any new company want to build here?  If we could force the utility companies to a sane monetary level, and do away with corporate taxes or reduce them below other states, we would have plenty of businesses wanting to locate here.

 Why do we have a sales tax on food?  It isn't a luxury!

 I have been spring housecleaning and still have a few more days to go, but my energy level is a lot less than it has been in the past.  The turn of events with Love and Mom both dying so close together has left me depressed.  Projects that I would have considered little projects seem like enormous projects now.  I know that it's just part of the grieving process, but before my unemployment runs out in June, I must get a job.  I'm having anxiety attacks when I think about the future and this economic depression we're in.  I'll have another ten resumes ready to go out this Friday, but haven't gotten any response from the resumes that I've already mailed the past several weeks.

I talked to a guy that I went to high school with, who works for one of the local merchants.  He told me to bring a resume down to him,  He said that he would make sure that it got to the the owner, and that he would explain my situation to the owner to try to get me on, when there's an opening.  Then, he promptly threw a pass at me.  I wasn't expecting it, and although I've encountered that problem before, it threw me off my guard.  I recovered my composure, but I'm not ready for that, and yet I must try every means available to get back into the work force.  I don't want to get into a sticky situation like that, but it goes with the territory when women have to work.  When you are becoming more desperate by the day, nothing is unthinkable.  I do have to live, after all, anyway I can.

 Ex-Vice President Mondale's organization is extremely well organized, I'm told.  I wonder if he is elected, would his presidency be run with as much precision.

 I just can't believe that the voters of this country could be immune to the plight of one out of five people, who are poverty stricken.
