Shoes + capitalism = the root of all evil 2003-06-18 - 8:10 p.m.
Well, nothing of interest happened at werk today. Naturally, I was still doing yesterday's stock the whole damn day. Blarg. Especially since DUM DUM DUM, we got our first batch of L@nd's End shoes. In case you care, Sizz-ears recently bought L@nd's End, and only now is our store going to begin to carry their merchandise. Fun times.
I don't know. I just got really mad at all these shoes today. All the boxes said "Made in China". How do all the little Chinese children, who work in these factories making shoelaces, for two cents an hour or whatever, feel about making these shoes for stupid rich Americans who rail and complain about where shoes are made. "Why isn't anything made in the US anymore? Goddamn foreigners taking our jobs!" Well :-P. If stupid rich Americans, who consume more resources in a day than any given shoe factory worker does in a year, would crack a book, go to college, and attempt to educate themselves, then they could get real jobs. Then maybe we would have a nation of intelligent do-gooders who would invent robots to make all the shoes so they could go off and help the former shoe factory workers to get better lives or something.
GAH! But this will never happen because Americans are STUPID and the country is run by goddamn REPUBLICANS and the "president" is a MORON.
So, until the world becomes a better place or people evolve to possess hobbit feet so as to not have to wear shoes at all, I reserve the right to throw shoes all over the place if I damn well please.

Yowza. That didn't make any sense. Oh well. So, um, yeah. Who thinks I can finish "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" before the next book is in my hot little hands?
Also, go join my mango diaryring. You know you want to. Everyone loves mangoes, and if not, everyone at least loves me.

I better go do some laundry before I pass out asleep at 9:30 again. Ugh.
