As a temporary employee in Center City, my workplace fate is ever-changing. I drift from one job to another as the needs of my employer's client dictate. Yes, I am also seeking employment of a more permanent nature on my own time, but PhillyJobs is a vast and difficult web of insurance scams, pyramid schemes and the occasional legitimate opportunity. This is due to the fact that the site is part of the Beyond.com network and uses their proprietary software to provide job results in the Philadelphia central and metropolitan areas.

Yesterday was President's Bush first press conference this year. If you missed the conference and you haven't read about it, you can read the transcript here. Since I am a teacher, I had the day off yesterday, so as I was casually changing the channel, in my pajamas, I began to notice that every channel had President Bush on. Boy, was I pissed—he was ruining my daytime television romp. Before I switched to my DVR to watch the previous night's episode of "House", I watched the President stumble over his words for a few minutes. I then noticed myself screaming explicitives at the TV. That is when I knew I had to stop watching.

I’m 5’9”. More accurately, I’m the height of the average man. This means if I’m not wearing sneakers, I’m probably taller than the majority of men I see on any given day. Since I tend to favor heels over bare feet when I go out, I’m left with slim pickings. As a result, I firmly believe that women should not date out of their height range: i.e., if you’re 5’2”, date someone who is 5’6”. If you’re 5’6”, go for any man of average height. If you are 4’11” and date someone who’s over six feet tall, I hate you. If you’re 5’9” and find yourself surrounded by men who are at least two inches shorter than you, I feel your pain.
