a new (expletive deleted) job.

I need a job that I don’t HATE going to. I need a job that I enjoy enough to get up and go to, rather than lay in bed for an extra 20 minutes wanting nothing more than to be able to get up and NOT go to my job. I need a job that once I arrive, I don’t feel the need to hop on this blog and start bitching about it. I need a job where the people who work there GET ALONG, where there isn’t non-stop backstabbing and complaining and nitpicking and whining. I need a job where the majority of the people who show up for services appreciate what you do and don’t glare at you for doing your job. I need a job where everyone respects everyone enough to complain to the person they have a problem with, rather than to everyone else. I need a job that doesn’t degrade my generally optimistic view of humanity to the point of hatred.

Because I hate feeling like this, I hate telling coworkers to complain to the boss rather than me, I hate not being able to get any work done during the day, I hate not being able to hang out with friends because I’ve got to work.

I need a new job where the benefits outweigh the limitations.

$200,000 for dumping waste into the chicago river.

All right, where’s my money for the waste they’ve been dumping into the radio?

I made some mistakes earlier when I was talking to Sue, Hildegard has been known about for quite some time, not just since the 80’s, but that is when she started gaining more influence, especially in terms of her music.

Born: 1098, 10th child
Died: 1179

She was known for her visions and her preaching throughout Germany. She was held in high esteem by her peers, as well as by the government officials and the popes. She wrote on varying subjects from medicine to poetry to music. The Holy Roman(albeit, he was neither) Emperor Conrad wrote to her, and she met with the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa.

There were two books on medicine that survived the 12th century…both were written by Hildegard. She wrote over 70 symphonies, and several books of her visions and her preaching.

She vehemently opposed the Cathars, who brought up again the Manichean ideas of duality. Hildegard denied this duality of soul and body, saying that the glory of God could only be seen through a soul and body united, she also denied the evil of women that the Cathars believed. The cathars thought that the body was evil, and that women were part of that evil because of the feelings they aroused in men. Hildegard believed that Men only acheived the full perfection of holiness with women, and vice versa, neither one was a complete holy being without the other.

She was also a pirate AND a ninja.

Well, I made that last line up, because that would have been the only way for Hildegard to be more of a cool person.

a book with the primary information is Hildegard of Bingen: Inspired Conscience of the 12th Century by Regine Pernoud, trans. by Paul Duggan.
