¡Lo cogĂ­!

I finally got a job! I've been looking since the beginning of the summer. It's at Cragun's, as a dishwasher. Okay, so it's only a trial employment, but still. I have to trim my beard for this job, so I'd better keep it! Oh, well--at least I don't have to shave it off completely, and I've already gotten rid of my red spiked hair.

And afterwards, I saw a sign there saying "no through traffic." I was so excited to see decent, competent spelling that I almost went through it, not realising what it actually meant. Whoever decided it was alright to use "thru" should be shot. In my opinion, it's like having a sign that says "STOPZORZ LOL ;)!!1!~~" One of my dreams in life is to make a fast food place with a drive through.

At any rate, it'll be nice to have some cash flowing in, assuming I can stop myself from spending it on Transformers.

Referendum signs

Well, we started with this:
Anti-referendum sign
My English teacher wants to hang it on the wall for prosperity.
Then they fixed it...Kind of...
Corrected Anti-Referendum Sign
The pro-referendum signs are spelled correctly, albeit a bit vague:

If you were brain dead, would you want to be kept alive by a ventilator? Why or why not?

(Note to readers: Xanga offers a "featured question." This is one.
Whoever wrote this question doesn't know what they're talking about. "Brain dead" means that your brain is no longer functioning, an can't be restarted. If a brain dead person is on a ventilator, it mean that they're trying to keep their organs fresh for harvesting. Now, if I were in a coma, I would want to be kept alive, in case I recover. I always think that living is better than not living, and if you say "well, before that equipment was invented I would have died anyway," then I'd better never see you getting a vaccination, or going to the hospital for any reason, or wearing protective gear when doing something, or drinking sanitary water, et cetera. But no-one, save for this question writer, is saying that brain dead people are alive, because you are your brain--the body just lets you interact with the world.
I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!
