The DNC, they are twits...

Had a wonderful time with ellen_fremedon, bayleaf, gblvr and tricksterquinn who arrived late and unexpectedly. The Front Page is a wonderful place to have a leisurely diner.

I had to field *two* calls from the HR guy at the Old Company during dinner. Thus I have an interview for Thursday for the QC Analyst position now, though I'm going to have to call on Monday and confirm, since he did *not* email as he said he would.

Upon arriving home, I found that my lease will go up 6% if I choose to stay here another year. That's not at all bad, but it does mean I have to start looking for a roommate again -- after I have a confirmed job, though. I think I'll put ads in the Blade this time round.

I also got a 'Grassroots Survey from the Democratic National Committee'. I'm tempted to fill it out by writing my *actual* opinions on it, instead of their multiple choice options, which don't actually reflect what I feel.

For example, question 6 "Do you believe Medicare should be allowed to re-import less expensive drugs from Canada to make prescription medicines more affordable for senior citizens?"

The answer choices are:

'Yes, this will help millions of seniors who struggle to pay for their prescriptions.'
'No, it is too risky as the safety of these drugs can't be guaranteed.'

My actual opinion is 'the Federal Government needs to stop giving the pharmecutical industry a free ride and use its buying power to negotiate a price break, like Canada and most of Europe does.'

At the end, they ask if I want to become a member of the DNC, and if so, how much money will a donate. Uhm... considering that I think the Democrats representatives and senators in Congress have for the most part done a piss-poor job at being the opposition party, *NO*, I don't want to give the DNC money.

Think I should tell them that? I mean, they *asked* for my opinion...
