i should feel so discriminated upon

yea, so they were doing some poll at work; everybody had to fill out this sheet saying what their ethnicity was. so i scanned the list and was happy to see that the last option was titled "two or more races". unfortunately this happiness was short lived as the full line was "two or more races (not hispanic or latino)". seriously, what the hell? am i statistically impossible and not supposed to exist? lesser people would sue over crap like this. then i noticed several of the choices had the hispanic exclusion clause next to them (including white, but i've run into that one before). so i asked the girl who was manning customer service at the time (that's where we get out paychecks) what she thought. she said i should just check both hispanic and white, to hell with what the company thinks - they were the ones who asked. so once again, in revealing my ethnicity i completely contradict my identity. i am hispanic and at the same time, NOT hispanic (white). i know what it means, it's just funny to think of the irony and utter ridiculousness of the whole thing.

testing...

i haven't been able to post anything on blogger successfully for weeks! (our new year's present to you, anne. -blogger) yea, thanks for nothin'... i also emailed inquiring about my problem and have yet to receive a reply. i'll probably get one now after the problem has remedied itself saying "well, we made a test post and it worked fine, and it seems you've managed to post successfully too" yes, that was so helpful....

anywho, if you haven't heard yet, i've got a new computer! and oh, it's SO cool! and to all of you who have taken my "how well do you know anne?" quiz: i made it hard on purpose and riddled it with trick questions (as i'm sure you've found out, heheh...).

jessie and i are now actively looking for people to replace us in our leases, but to no avail. we got one phone call (she left a message on jessie's phone), and jessie called her back and left a message, but she hasn't called back yet. jessie asked this girl if she was willing to wait until we find a second person to take over the other lease, but, like i said, she didn't call back. oh whatever...
