jobs, jobs and more jobs

Got two e-mails in the last two days from school friends who just graduated from journalism school and have found jobs in the industry. I kind of envy them because I am returning this fall to pick up three classes to finish off my degree, and most of my friends will either have found jobs elsewhere or moved from Kamloops. I guess I'm a sentimetalist at heart but life goes on.

In the news. No, I am not going to comment on the budget vote--why? It's all over the TV. Newsworld is airing a special about violent young offenders such as gangs and the increase in crime in large cities. Surprising to me was that the city with the highest number of murders among all Canadian cities are Regina and Saskatoon--lots of gangs. It's happens though. A lady was murdered in one of the buildings on my street, might have been my building. Not sure.

One of my profs is big into criminals, particularly incarceration. Too bad our prison systems are overrun with people who, when they get out, will probably end up back inside.
Anyway, before I start to meander into more depressing territory, I'll stop writing and stop watching the news.
Becker's on. Like that Ted Danson, and Shawnee Smith, who, by the way, has her own band. Get back to you with name of it. Hope it's better than Tina Yothers band.
