I just don't understand any kind of absolute egalitarianism philosophy. Whether it's branded as anarcho-capitalism or straight anarchism or sockfucking libertarianism, it always misses the same point.

My money issues are mostly cleared up. Roommate is getting back on her feet, slowly. Work is absolutely stupid. A co-worker and I are plotting our escape to Arizona. :P

I keep losing track of time and not realizing entire days have gone by, though. I'm still going to work and all that shit, I just have no concept of what day it is or how long it has been since the last time I did something like play Words With Friends, make a post here, or read a book.

Pretty much just work, sleep, sort out bullshit problems; repeat.

That's slightly more ominous than perhaps intended.

No, not really.

My intentions were pretty fucking ominous.

So I was just listening to an old-ish Brookes & Dunn song, Only in America, and it struck me that it was, in a ethnocentric kinda way, a collection of really good ideas.  It was an appeal to what America SHOULD be.  Immigrant-friendly.  Level playing field.  Everyone gets a chance.  That sort of thing. 

And it causes me to believe that Brookes & Dunn must live in some other universe, where a system like that could WORK, where a country could be all of these things, without having to shit all over other countries or selected segments of its own population.  The video makes me particularly angry, not because they are espousing jingoism or other bad ideas - they aren't - but because WE COULD HAVE WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT, if only we could stop SHITTING ON PEOPLE.

Anyway, that's just something I was thinking about.

Video's here, if anyone wants to get PISSED OFF AT ACTUAL REALITY:

B&D, incidentally, made a career out of preaching tolerance, alongside Brad Paisley and a few others.  Needless to say, they mostly sold records to the urban market sector.  Not very big in Texas, for example.

There was something inutterably depressing about that video. For me, the whole thing was summed up in the look of despair of the would-be actress right before he sang the line "Maybe they'll go back to Kansas and talk about the stars they would have been".

It depressed the fuck out of me, too.  Because it's all LIES.

Not malicious lies, but lies all the same.

So...

I got 5 hours of sleep last night.

My co-worker has turned up to work half an hour late, no reason given.  She's vanished again, despite promising to meet again half an hour ago to look for the remaining missing students.  And there are three of them.

And to top everything off, there's a burgeoning drug thread on PD.  Again.

Boy, I am really feeling in a great mood right now.

Shit on her pillow.

You'll feel better.

So my coworker has vanished entirely.  With one of the overnight duty phones. She's also meant to cover for me, if I have to leave the building with a sick student, or there is a situation I cannot handle on my own.

This is amazing.  And by amazing, I mean "fucking appalling".
