This job is driving me crazy! You know how much apathy I see each night? And the fuck word “quota”, I will never (ever) strip that word of its negative connotation. Man, I’m hating people, and their damn dogs and cats, sometimes even their kids. But now I have this new thing…canvass three days a week and work with volunteer coordination two days a week. I love the coordinator part and would be delighted to do it fulltime. That’s not going to happen though (at least in the next six months), but I’ll be fired if I continue to raise so little. Or so I should be. Fuck! Sigh…I don’t want to go to doors tomorrow… posted by NAKEDandALIVE, 07/23/04 01:36 | link | comments (3) Tuesday, July 20, 2004

Politics trumps science at AIDS conference Science has taken a backseat to politics at the 15th International AIDS Conference, which closed on Friday with no major research breakthroughs reported and a vaccine, the holy grail in the war on the incurable virus, still years away. Aside from incremental progress on antiretroviral drugs, which may offer new ways to keep the HIV virus at bay with fewer adverse side effects, the scientific agenda of the conference was notable more for challenges faced than progress made. posted by NAKEDandALIVE, 07/18/04 23:57 | link | comments Saturday, July 17, 2004

So, let me explain my absence. I have a new job, although not that new (I’ve been there two months or so). I canvass, otherwise known as going door-to-door asking for money to improve health care. Yup, nothing like telling folks: “hey, sorry I had to disturb you, but you don’t seem to be paying attention to your democracy. You know this whole issue with health care sucks right? Well, our politicians don’t give a shit because the drug companies are funding their campaigns…in other words, I need you to give me money so they will stop ignoring us. Otherwise the 44 million Americans without health care insurance will only increase.” Ok, so I don’t actually say that, though it is tempting at times. Just know this, especially with the election coming up, people will be knocking on your door. Talk with them, see if they’d like some water, and give them something (like $12,). We do this work because we believe in it, but damn, that doesn’t mean it pays the bills. posted by NAKEDandALIVE, 07/17/04 00:36 | link | comments (6) Tuesday, July 06, 2004 |
