Today made like a vacuum and blew

We can't get cats, these cats we met and really love, because our rental company basically wants a $900 nonrefundable deposit. Despite our neighbors saying they didn't have to pay any fees.

I'm using my college education to answer phones, enter calls into a computer, and organize shelves.

Apparently the 'wee new city' feeling is wearing off, because between studying for this huge test that I HAVE to do well on, my knees hurting when I run, my computer overheating at the drop of a hat, this bullshit with our shitty scam artist rental company, working a job that requires using about .0009% of my brain (applied for 16 jobs and this was the only one that got back to me), being incredibly lonely, and now the cats, I just feel...I don't know. Useless and stupid and crappy and pathetic.

Sorry things aren't working out for you. I felt that way in Oregon.

"Useless and stupid and crappy and pathetic." ?
You are NONE of those things! *poke*
Sounds like you're just going through a rough patch, hang in there and you'll get through it. Really.

One man's plan if the election goes to the R ticket

I will assemble an army of graduate degree–holding, Good Magazine–subscribing, Kiva-donating, Feist-by-way-of-Starbucks-listening, cruelty-free deodorant–wearing, casually gay, table-scrap composting, Seventh Generation–wiping peace-lovers and together, tongue studs clacking merrily in time to our chants, we will march.

LOL - I can't believe I'm actually defending cats, but did your neighbors actually tell the landlord that they had cats???

I know my sister's new landlord wanted a bunch of money for pet deposits, so they said that they didn't have a dog and then hers just magically showed up after they were finished moving... :O
