Robo Hobo Homo #027

While I waited, I perused the job posting they had in the back of the office. It was the same stuff from the local public office dedicated to finding folks employment. It was varied and informative, but nothing meaty or new.

I was called and had a nice conversation with the woman as she coded my card. She'd moved up from Los Angeles and much preferred it up here. We talked a bit about the difference between the two until my card was ready, she told me it should be activated no later than seven AM Tuesday and I left.

During the last conversation, it had occurred to me to ask about the cash benefits, but there's this...social inertial to things that I sometimes don't fight against. It feels equal parts unnecessary and rude to do so. I feel that it introduces an impulsive, selfish element to the interactions of the people around me. The decision to stay here was predicated on me learning to throw out those old behaviors.

I'll call them in the morning and ask about it.
