The Bitch Is Back!

The Job Didn't Matter!

Sorry for the delay in postings. After my recent sabbatical and move to Marblehead, I thought it would be best to hop on the saddle again and find a job fast. As you may know Netty can be very predictable. So I knew I had another week before she’d piss and moan that I didn’t have a job.

Naturally ,I snatched the first job I could find. So for three and half days I was a canvasser for the Human Right Campaign. The HRC is one of the campaigns run by an organization simply called The Fund.

For a little background, the HRC is the largest gay and lesbian civil rights group. I was out canvassing to get new members to sign up and to raise money. If you didn’t already know in 31 states it is legal to fire someone for being gay or lesbian. However the HRC is trying to pass a bill through Congress that would make work place discrimination illegal in all 50 states.

Yes folks, I was one of those perpetually perky people on the street corners of Boston collecting money for the HRC. Shit, I’d probably have better luck being a hooker.

I should have know I’d suck at it and not fit in when I started. You see the office was run by 2 just out of college girls. I for get their names either Daisy Meadow or thumper. I knew the had to do with flowers or some woodland creature. Point being the two ditzs couldn’t run a sorority let alone a campaign office.

So every day I would go out on the street with my co-workers playing the role of Perky Polly trying to collect at least $200 a day. Christ I think one the requirements for the job was you had to be vegetarian or stoned.

Before we would canvass, we’d go have lunch and all the vegans would sit and eat their tofu and curry, then go have a cigarette.

I would always inquire, “For Christ if you’re going to be so health cogence and not eat meat why are you smoking.”

They would always reply that the cigarettes were either clove or menthol.

Well that’s good they’re still going to get cancer but in the delusional minds the air would spell fresher. NOT!

Don’t get me wrong I do believe in the cause and want to end work place discrimination however I want to be little more productive and organized doing it.

So I took the liberty of adding the HRC web site on right of the blog. Take a look and go directly to the source. Because working with the fund is a job that does not matter.
