my life is a circus: about to be homeless

Because they booked their table after us, and there were other tables still free.

And? They could have just been assigned a table.

They would probably get kicked out for doing that, they just made not-so-subtle prods with obvious implications.

Usually, in a loud voice, "Hey man, checking out the gay booth eh!", etc., while handing out a pamplet on repenting homosexuality.

What is this? Junior high? I think you need to lighten up a little. Seems the Christians were enjoying themselves getting your goat.

Not physically, but they no doubt prevented some people who were not out from going anywhere near it. Which was a major point of the display, to advocate our support services.

Compared to getting ringed by a mob, this is nothing. We've had a crisis pregnancy table, handing out information on CPCs in the Student Union Building, get mobbed.

I am also looking for another job, one that isnt so hard on the body and spirit. You wont believe how apathetic people are towards me. But i suppose thats the way it goes. Although i talked to a bunch of canadians that were very nice and helpful.

I've done some of this on a regular basis, but not as a day job. One of my housemates does this, and he just quit his job with Greenpeace to chase something else.

It's not an easy job at all, and not worth what you get paid.

That's very gracious. In fact with that I feel OK about it. Good luck for the future, and here's to a cushy job

It's never too late. I don't know what the system is like over there but if you have a source of income and can spare the time in the evenings then you may be able to get it sorted out.

Sure I would. Most people are apathetic towards other people's problems, because they have their own.

Put it another way... how many charitable cases have you helped out on? And even if you do, you rarely get any credit for it.

Your own actions are 1000000% more important than crap posted on this board, eh?
