"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."

When I got there, Steve Xanthapoulus wasn't there. There was a note saying that he just found out he had to present something over the same time and that maybe we could meet in the afternoon.

The interviewer asked me what drew me to TLPJ and I told her that it was the DC location and the statement in their description on the Career Fair webpage that interns should "have a healthy sense of outrage." I told her that I do in fact have a healthy sense of outrage. They do a lot of interesting, cutting-edge kind of work. On one hand that could be really engaging. On the other hand, for whatever reason run-of-the-mill kind of work appeals to me maybe a little more. There's so much blatant violation of the law out there, I'd like to get my share of the potential attorney's fees.

I had assumed that this would all be in Wilmington, but not so. They have offices in Dover and Rehobath as well. As many of you know, I used to go to Delaware beaches for day trips during high school, so I have overwhelmingly positive associations with the Diamond State. I'm not sure about Dover, but Wilmington would be a nice extension of Philly, and Rehobath apparently has a pretty happening gay scene which would keep it from ever being boring. Oh, that and it's right by the beach. And this one would pay.

My off-and-on volunteering at the DC EJC's Wednesday night Workers' Right Clinic is, I think, going to give me a good shot at this position. This is the only interview that scored an "A" in both location and work. The interview was conducted by an older guy who I'd never met before rather than David Colodny who I had expected to be there. The older guy spoke very softly and I had to ask him to repeat himself a lot. Though once I caught on that a lot of the things he was saying weren't things I needed to have a verbal response to I let a lot more mumblings slide.

When I came back at three Steve was there. This had rated double "Ds" before but now I'm not so sure that I wouldn't take it. I still probably won't take it if anything else is available, but I don't think that I'd be unhappy there. It would be interesting to live in the rural South for a spell.
