I'm completely disinterested in the blogs, politics, current events, news, everything. I can't say when I will be interested again. I do find this article amusing:
U.S. agency seeks applicants for census work
Workers from certain communities needed

"...The San Diego office is looking for applicants who live in La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Bird Rock, Mission Beach, University City, Coronado, The Strand, Ocean Beach, Point Loma and downtown San Diego.
Officials aren’t certain why they are short of applicants from these neighborhoods.
Applicants must pass a basic skills test. The local office is offering testing in these neighborhoods through April 17.
The federal agency also is looking for census takers who can visit rural parts of East County and migrant camps in North County, said local census spokesman Robert Borboa..."
I don't know why they can't find people from those neighborhoods either, but I can't help but wonder if it's because they are
A) Too busy partying
B) Wouldn't be caught dead working for $16.50 an hour
C)Don't speak Spanish or Indian dialects and don't want to venture into the homeless camps downtown or the migrant worker camps up north or know the government doesn't want them counted anyway.
Jeez, am I cynical these days or what?
