got my check today and apparently i got a 20 cent an hour pay raise from the minimum wage wahooooooo i am now a class enemy
but then again i pay $700 a month for a room in a shitty part of the city
aedrill i was going to say i don't see how poor people can afford SF rents on $10 an hour but i guess that's the whole idea

the job that "broke" me, like where i started getting panic attacks at work which were so terrible i ended up just leaving my key and a letter on a desk and never talking to the manager again, was actually a job that sounds pretty easy. i was an intern at a tiny NGO that basically did nothing of value. $10 hour / 35 hour weeks.
but like being managed and monitored and criticized and shit in a dumb organization made me flip out i guess. although i was also going to school full-time at nights which was a bad compounding factor.
this is part of why i want to find a way to build a project for myself and then sort of build work into it rather than just taking whatever job. because if i can build discipline into things i'm somewhat interested in then i can probably contribute a lot more than if i'm just putting myself back into a situation where i'll flip out.

i sort of want to find a way to move to cuba and then become a minor bureaucrat within the planning ministry before liberty returns. i mean it sounds so perfectly absurd that it almost has to happen. it's like when your friend shows up in a van and yells "road trip". sometimes you gotta go on the road trip. sometimes you gotta fly to havana and push paper.
