<0> my coworker has breast cancer :(
<1> i know shed been really stressed out at work i don't know if that was a factor
<1> my freinds dad just died :(
<0> jeez..i didn't know that about kyk
<1> yah it just happened suddenly
<0> damn..that ****s
<0> how old is she?
<1> shes like early 30's
<0> yeah..that's what i thought
<0> seems too young
<1> a bit early for that type of problem
<1> hows the progress in new orleans?
<0> we're back in our house
<0> but we've already been burglarized
<0> if i land the job, i'll be technically leaving the world of graphic design
<1> what kind of work?
<0> non profit- community development officer
<1> you tired of design?
<0> well,
<0> with so much devastation around it's kinda hard for me to have much p***ion about a PIA client who wants this photo moved an inch to the right and this text bigger, ect
<0> i may not be qualified for this job, but it's basically what i've been doing for free for my neighborhood
<0> www.broadmoorimprovement.com
<1> how long do you figure till the city is back to functioning form from what yu see?
<2> funky, you need to talk to other neighbors and find out if anyone else has been robbed after having a service performed
<0> honestly, the city wasn't functioning properly pre-katrina
<0> i'm thinking 5 years till there's a true sense of normalcy
<0> lyrawyn the suspect, was to do some work for an elderly neighbor, and she lent him her car to pickup "supplies" and he never returned
<0> so now he's stolen a car and probably used it to take my powerbook and stuff to a pawn or fence
<0> i wish they'd catch him
<0> poor lady, i can't believe she lent him her car...people are so desperate for help
<1> wheres the fema billions
<0> still hung up...probably start going out in late august
<0> but it sounds like homeowners will have to produce receipts to get reimbursed...so those who did the work themselves may not get fair compensation
<0> i dont' think we'll get anything b/c we had good insurance...but i hope those who really need it get it
<1> what percentage siphoned off for martinis and congressmens slush funds
<0> we were payin 1300/month in rent and 1200+ on our mtg for 9 months
<0> rubik, the state is setting up accountability stuff now..hopefully they do a good job
<0> our neighborhood organization is in line for some of those funds to buy blighted housing and rehab it
<0> community development block grants
<1> sounds life your still a beleiver ;)
<1> like
<0> heh...keepin the faith
<0> if i get this other position, it should be far more rewarding
<1> yah doing something that has worth
<1> design does seem pretty removed from real life a lot of times
<0> true
<0> and things at this office have been going downhill for a while
<0> pre katrina there were problems...
<0> then post we lost half our staff..now i answer the phones and do clerical stuff that i'm clueless about...generally frustrated, grossly underpaid, and feeling somewhat unappreciated
<0> plus i have to drive through some of the worst devestation in town to get here..it's like an island of life surrounded by dead shells of homes
<0> at least that part makes me thankful that my neighborhood is looking so good (relatively)
<1> interesting times
<1> i just saw a documentary last night
<1> about Lake Victoria in Africa
<1> the second biggest fresh water lake in the world
<1> they fish the lake and export 500 tons of fish filters per day from there and all the ppl who live around the lake are starving
<1> they eat the fish guts that are thrown away if they can get them
<1> and this type of fish called Egyptian Perch was introduced to the lake and its killing all the native population of fish plus what they fish out so the lake is near ecological collapse
<1> one example of what is going on all around the world
<0> yeah..times are crazy
<0> crazy weather, crazy wars
<1> crazy political leaders
<1> anyways i gotta go deal with some stuff
<1> bbl
