yeah, hard to believe that, since the 60s and despite the federal law, women's wages have remained pretty darn flat - still earning only 71-77 cents on a man's dollar for comparable work.
but if you live in illinois and suspect that a wage violation has ocurred at your job, the Dept of Labor will sue for back wages!
all you have to do is call their hotline, file a complaint and they do all the work:
1-866-372-4365
(this is how i spend my lunch hours: at brown bag lunches with other women in the city, in the governor's office, listening to presentations from the department of labor and the dept of employment services. it's not exciting, but they gave us cake. lesson? we have GOT to learn how to negotiate salary.)
...
so have i mentioned that i've cut down severely on my smoking? and that, other than the two obliterated nights last week, my drinking has also gone down? and that my libido has dried up?
i'm turning back into a fricking baptist!
with all this healthier living you'd think i'd be more...relaxed. but no. lucidity makes me tense.

you smoke? oh ICK! i thought you were an intelligent woman!!! how can it be that you, of all people, would fall prey to such a disgusting habit. all said in good humor. . . congrats on the abatement of said habit. . . .
oh, jc. there are so many things i used to do.
but yes. my smoking is so lessened that now i find i can only smoke one or two in one sitting where before i used to smoke several. or more than several. i still enjoy it but it's less necessary.
yay for yoga. (which i have to get back to doing.)
Lost your libido? Get thee to a figleafery!
(Not like I've been keeping up over there, but still...)
