Rapture (al)Ready?

It's funny how I hadn't really heard that the Rapture was to begin (the world will end?) today until sometime last week.

News to me.

What entertains me the most is a church's billboard on the way to work: "If you're still here, come to mass Sunday!"

If you know me, you probably know that I don't hold much with visions and prophecies and literal interpretations of the Bible, because it's all filtered through people, and people are typically batshit insane.  I may be a heretic, or a heathen, or just a terrible person, but I also know that there have been no fewer than 13 predictions of the exact time and date of the Rapture (even though the Bible says it cannot be known and will not be known until you're kinda in it.)

Maybe the end times will be prefaced by natural disaster and impending war, but be honest: how often has human history, even for a brief stretch of time, been without natural disaster and impending war?

For all I know, the end of the world happened in the Dark Ages and the rest of us just didn't notice (or chose to believe we were worthy enough to be taken up in the Rapture.)  Or apparently, according to Preterists, around 70 AD.

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

A few weeks ago, Chris got pulled over for speeding literally right outside his driveway.  It was epically entertaining.  (I had the joy of sitting in the passenger seat and refraining from making snarky comments.)

Why is leather always billed as "buttery soft?"  I don't think I want it to feel like I picked up a stick of squishy oily butter with my bare hands...  Not to mention this Levenger catalog uses it for literally every leather item they have.  Cut and paste ahoy!

So after 7 months of being jobless and almost a year of actually actively looking for a job, I finally have become a wage slave at Petco.  At least, though, my job is pretty much petting dogs all day (with a brush,) so as far as wage slavery goes, not bad, and I could potentially make more than my wages in commission.  Which is good cause wage slave wages suck.
I'm starting to think I can only be hired in May.  I mean, before the shelter I'd been looking for a couple months and then I was hired like halfway through May after a couple days of the position being open, and then this time I was looking for 11 months and then suddenly a day after I apply at Petco they hire me...in May.  It's weird, is all I'm saying.  Sorry for lengthy bout of non-postingness, but it seems to be a blog-related disease, as none of the other blogs I read post regularly anymore.
