Coffee Job & UN Resolution 1701

[ziasudra]

I start working at Starbucks next Monday!!!

Starbucks has got to have one of the most elaborate interviewing processes for hiring hourly workers. I met with five different managers in total -- two for screening, two for first interview, one for second interview. It's a wonder that none of them flagged me as non-Starbucks material ;p

This means I'll have to sit down and write a HUGE chunk of my thesis over the weekend, before my double-job schedule starts. Once the thesis out of the way, having two jobs shouldn't be too hard -- I still find myself amazed at how there's nothing to do when I get home except for my thesis: no reading, no papers, no presentations. Working life is so stress-free compared to grad school, which is more like a 24-hour job.

News:
♦ From AP: Security Council OKs Mideast peace deal

The U.N. Security Council adopted a resolution Friday that calls for an end to the war between Israel and Hezbollah, and authorizes 15,000 U.N. peacekeepers to help Lebanese troops take control of south Lebanon as Israel withdraws.

♦ INQ7: Text of UN Security Council Resolution 1701


Will the Resolution work? I highly doubt it'll ever work 100%, but as Condoleezza Rice said, it's a start. And Resolution 1701 provides a framework for the international community to have something to work toward (and for Israel and Lebanon to have something to adhere to, theoretically), which is better than nothing. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed (but not holding my breath).
