one shouldn't have to work 3 jobs, doesn't he understand that? or does he plain and simply not care? i'm beginning to suspect that may have been a dumb question for me to ask.

Or how about, "he doesn't care to understand"?

Totally unrelated: I met you at Margarita Friday back in December, when ga_sunshine and john666 and I made the trip together. I thought you seemed rather nifty, and I've also seen you around in several of my friends' journals. We'd probably make good friends, ourselves. May I add you? :-)
