Ok, for this weekend, the great Gov’nuh of Georgia has declared a “tax exempt” holiday. Now, many people think this is a good idea but let me let you in on a few things…It doesn’t stimulate anything! I got my list of exempt and non-exempt things yesterday (I work in retail), and almost everything I sell in the store I work is all non-exempt stuff. Not to mention the fact that the only way anyone saves any money is if they buy things in a city with a high sales tax, and buys lots of stuff.
In other news: I’m slowly starting to realize how much I really need to spend time with the Moonbird. Seems something has been going on, and I haven’t been able to be there for her. Thankfully, she has a great support group that has been able to be there for her. I also hate the fact that I work too much, it would be so nice if I could only work 8-8.5 hours a day instead of the 9.5 hours I currently work. So, needless to say, I will be much happier when I’m in school and can take the time in the evening to spend it where I need to, with the people who need it.
In world news: This morning I was watching CNN, only to find out the latest de-development in the Middle East. Very tragic, yet at the same time, very educational (hopefully for the government). Israel is focusing on Arafat and the Palestinian Authority was claiming Sharon was trying to assassinate Arafat. What problem is there? All because he announced the plan for an unconditional cease-fire, but it didn’t happen overnight. Now, no offense, but, even God didn’t finish things up in one day; he took a whole bloody week, with one day off. *Sigh* People are so impatient, and no, I’m not an anti-Semite (Palestinian’s are Semites too, look it up). In actuality, I don’t think either of them are all that hot right now. Of course, I don’t think Israel is being all that intelligent when the whole of the Arab world is willing to acknowledge they exist if they would retreat back to their original borders and quit attacking Arab nations. But hey, no one said anyone was intelligent, at least, I haven’t said that yet.
