The car she is driving, some old blue bomb, is abandoned outside the drug testing office. She’s walking several miles a day to the drug court office because people who are unemployed or not in school have to put in hours cleaning up the place. Finally, in July 2006, Dawn uses drugs and knows she will get caught. She makes up a half-hearted story but, truly, she’s tired. Tired of being a failure.
The down side of being a pragmatist is that you can’t stand change. Pragmatists definitely are not unnecessary risk takers; therefore I rarely ever fail in life either. Pragmatists go along to get along, which can substantially limit the negative aspects of conflict, but that can be tiring after awhile. I tend to be content with life which is a good thing really. As a pragmatist, I am also a realist; therefore I can sometime frustrate the dreamers of the
Page 281: He forgot about the 80,000 dollars he had received in cash, and played it off sarcastically to the jury. Page 282: He has no evidence to support his claim about trying to get a line-of-credit from Republic. Black called him a liar, and Schlessinger quickly objected. Page
My depression got so bad that at one time in my life all I wanted to do was sleep my life away, luckily the support from my family helped me to realize that I am not a hateful person and that I need not listen this stereotype. Another stereotype that people have categorized me to be is that I am a know-it-all, because of my years as a correctional officer. From personal experience as a correctional officer I know that most correctional officers act as though they are better than everyone else (including law enforcement officers), and that they literally know-it-all. However, in my case
She then brought the family to another area, sat them with the lunch menus and no children’s menus. Plus, the table was dirty. A waiter walked by after another 10 to 12 minutes of waiting and asked if he could take their order, even though the table was not in his area. The family ordered their meals and a glass of wine. Twenty minutes later, the meals arrived, which wasn’t too bad in timing, but they came out cold.
We don’t want no pants rabbits.” Like I said in my previous point, he is describes as clean living and healthy. George always gets frustrated with Lennie over everything. He thinks he can live a better life without Lennie. ‘… I gotta tell you again, do I? Jesus Christ you’re a crazy bastard!” “God you’re a lot of trouble” “I could get along so easy and nice if I didn’t have you on my tail.
Sticks and Stones Every child is familiar with the saying “sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.” Nowadays, kids might be more familiar with the words of Dumbledore when he says, “Words are, in my not so humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury and remedying it.” (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2). Speaking comes to most people as naturally as breathing and we think little of the power of words. On many occasions our words are uttered without conscious thought, in fact we rarely stop and think about what we are saying. Lynda Barry captures the essence of the power of words in several chapters of her book “100 Demons.” Two chapters in particular spoke to me about the power of words.
Which Wall Street did not have in place or this would have never happen. Their virtues are money, how much they can get no matter what it costs others in the long run. Proof of this is the bail out that the taxpayers paid for. And that the government had to step in to or the economy would have been even worst. (Still think we are in a Depression not a rescission) Also the CEO of Enron for conspiracy and multiple counts of fraud is one example of dishonesty, fraud, disregarding one professional responsibility by given themselves Astronomical salaries and enormous benefits this reduces profits of the stockholders, who own the company.
Nurse Ratched posts the patients’ financial statements on the bulletin board to show that everyone’s account, except McMurphy’s, shows a steady decline in funds. The other patients begin to question the motivations for his actions. When a phone call keeps McMurphy away from a Group Meeting, Ratched insinuates that everything he does is motivated by the desire for personal gain. Later, Harding argues that they have all gotten their money’s worth and that McMurphy never hid his con-man ways from them. McMurphy asks Bromden if he can move the control panel, as a way of testing how big Bromden has grown.
Over the Christmas break I got two speeding ticks which made my mother very furious. On my way home three weeks ago, I got a third speeding ticket after my mother had warned me to drive carefully. When I got home she jokingly said “no tickets this time right?” “nope” I replied. There was no way I could have told her the truth. She was so happy my father had just been offered a job to be a professor of University of Utah.
