The doves are released
So Michael joins the rest of the celebrities, where the majority of sane people know he's molesting young boys, but somehow he doesn't go to jail. Stab in the heart to Martha. Anyone have thoughts on this? How about thoughts that the only US news that I write about in my blog is about Michael Jackson? I can be reached at maokelan18@gmail.com
Would love to know what you news readers out there think.
In other news, I'm ALMOST done getting all my photos online. It's been weeks of procrastinating and computers crashing.
Locking my bike up outside McDonald's this am, to get my coffee, and there's a large bus in the right hand turn lane, honking at the many cars ahead of it for not running over the bicyclists and not turning. Not only was the bus honking, but the bus ticket taker [who stands in the middle of the bus and has to be one of the worst jobs this country has thought up] is on the bullhorn yelling at the cars to go! So funny.
Other horrible jobs this country has thought up to employ people: the crossing guard. They stand at each corner [four to an intersection] and hold a flag and blow a whistle, stopping bikers from crossing against the light. They are oh so helpful poeple, yelling at you when you defy the traffic lights and cross anyway [some are posted at intersections where there aren't that many cars, so I go when the intersection is clear, I don't have time to wait for lights], and they tell you to go even though there are still cars bikes buses and motorcycles in the intersection.
A really pointless job is the bus lander. They stand at the bus stops, wear a very official sash, and have a little hand held sign that has their bus number on it. They direct the buses where to stop. As if the bus driver hasn't been stopping at a designated place for 7 years, probably driving the same line the whole time as well. As you can see all these jobs have to do with people management. The bus ticket taker [the person on the bus] not only sells you the ticket, but also helps pack people into the bus, telling them where extra room is, telling them to shift forward, waking up the 30 year old man from his supposed slumber to let an old lady sit down [sometimes they are polite and get up themselves I will add].
Another job, mostly for old people, is the neighborhood monitor. This involves sitting in the neighborhood with up to 7 others and gossiping about whats going on. So, if someone breaks into my apartment and steals my watercooler, the old people will see it and will know that something is not right because every person that enters my building they will talk about. Neighborhood watch. They also wear official looking armbands. Too cute.
China has many people. Somehow most of them have jobs. That's about all I have to report for now... I have to write a quiz [me! a teacher! HA!]
