give your heart to someone worthy

Today, as i open my internet browser, an discrete but hard to avoid ad came up on my screen. A picture of a woman offering a large heart to the world, and the caption reads in chinese - "give your heart to someone worthy." It was a match.com advertising. And of course, all those lonlely ladies, looking for that tinkling warm feeling on a cold Christmas morning.... listening to Geroge Michael's "last Christmas"... "last Christmas I gave you my heart, the very next day, you gave it away... this year, I saving from tears, I going to give it someone specials...."

Did I point out it was a pictue of a lady??? and not a gent? subtle - but powerful message.

What a great ad - appealing to what promot people to spend money most - our faint and feeble emotions! (that is eay to manipulate).

New Job

All I want for Christmas is a new job. This is funny, many people think those of us who have law degrees has it made. That the world has open its doors because we have this extra degree. Unfortunately, that is as far from the truth as possible. Yes, there will be those stellar few - that it is true for them, but for the rest of us normal folks....Well...life is not so pretty. After consulting with my friends, we all agreed, the doors were shut in our face as soon as we entered law school - we could not even obtain the job we had before law school, with just our college degree. We are now stuck in this transient stage - where, we are supposedly over "qualified," for all these jobs, but not good enough for the law jobs we really want. And as a result - we either become unemployed!

Truth be told, I have never had so many rejections as I have had after entering law school. yes, I do admit, I didn't go to a top tier law school, I was not top of my class, I was not on law review...Basically I was not anything that anyone cared about! So here, I am... using tax payer's dollars to pay my bills...

To make the story short, law school may not be all it promised to be! (or maybe, this is all it promised to be - but I just missed the fine prints).
