The final push

Ok peeps, here's how it stands. I've got 2 weeks till I get my first paycheck. It looks like I'm not going to get food stamps this month (there's $300 I have to make up for) and it's costing me $25 a week to get to work.

I need help covering groceries and bus fare until the 4th of August (about $250). If you've got a little extra to spare, please throw it in the pot. Hopefully, this is the last time I'll need it. Hurray employment!

I think

that when people, particularly political people, use the word "pragmatic" what they mean is "amoral opportunism".

That is your deep thought for the day, as I have made the pragmatic decision to go to work.
