Standard of Living?
Mar. 12th, 2004 02:05 pmCould we consent to a lower standard of living if it meant that other people around the world could have a higher? How selfish are we as a people? (Try "very.")
Apparently now when you call Microsoft's 1-800 number you are speaking to somebody in India...and the people in India are being coached to have American accents rather than British when they speak English. I don't know if that's entirely true...but if it is, I wouldn't be suprised.
Am I the only one who finds this disturbing and aggravating?
Talked to Scott today about my thesis...am feeling slightly less at sea. I mean, I'm still in a leaky boat with a sieve, but I may have some sense of where I'm going at least...heh. I need to make a choice and run with it...because really it will be interesting no matter what direction I go. He says he can get me an "in" with someone at NW Women's Law Center, who is lawyering on behalf of the six couples suing King County. Hmmm. Civil disobidience and all that...it's very interesting. Sims vs. persons-in-San-Fran...and so forth.
(Read this week's Stranger...it's the "Marriage Issue." Has some interesting articles. And also much less snippy and annoying than most Stranger issues. It's good.)
Also talked with other defense people in class...Alex Chavez, you are going down! :D I don't think I want to be a lawyer when I grow up. But I might go to law school...maybe be a paralegal. That would be interesting...
One week until my birthday....
( A Few More Dumb Things... )
Gonna go catch my bus and go home now. God, I'm not really looking forward to how busy I'm going to be this weekend....Eeeeep!
