Rupert Murdoch hated welfare, and then he left his vast Fortune to his son, which isn't entirely like welfare but there's some similarities.

I now work at McDonald's, early in the morning for a few hours before my main job. It's ok. Not super busy, but I think today will be different because of black Friday, which is a concept I hate. We go from a day that's literally named for being grateful for what we have, and then we go out and try to grab more, because what we have isn't enough. Someone up there has to be laughing.

I haven't seen my friends in a while. One works two week rotations a few states east, one moved to the big city (I wish I had gas to run down there, but gas is expensive and I'm poor), and one just got a girlfriend so who the hell knows when I'll see him again.

Tomorrow morning I'm going in to see the manager of a local fast food restaurant that I used to work at. I'll ask her about maybe picking up some night shifts to help make ends meet.

I've written a big whole post out and when I was about finished my phone died. There was no backup and when I got it charged again I really wasn't in the mood to write.

We've got another kid on the way, due in February. That'll make three. We'll be a single income family then. The budget is going to get right, even tighter than it already is.
