hugs. Jobs suck. Unless your job is to sing, dance, act, and play.
Everyone says don't walk out, and I tend to agree, (you don't want to be po' like me, right? ) but you have a lot of skills and experience, I don't imagine it would be that hard for you to find a new job. However, I think you should have a hellavuh money cushion if you do that. Also, I know recently you were saying that you weren't where you want to be financially. It strikes me that the kind of firm you would enjoy working for might not pay you the big corporate bucks, so if you really want to search for a job you like a lot, there could be a pay cut, which you might want to take into consideration. If you don't, and are just looking for the best paid position, disregard what I said.

((more hugs))

This is the first major repair on this truck so I am feeling pretty lucky/good about it.

I am thinking about seeing Lily's show on the 25th...we'll see. Will you be able to share the interview with us?

Oh my. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I know - I'll laugh hysterically with tears streaming down my face.

Right now, I'm feeling awful for cheering Jaz on when he told us about this new job.

I need those hugs and thank you. I really just want to make a comfortable living doing something I enjoy and am passionate about. I want to laugh and work hard. I am very comfortable, money wise, but that's it. so, I really appreciate what you're saying.

girl don't feel bad. I weighed my options based on what I was presented, which proved to be a big hoax. they got me with all their sugarcoating and I fell for it. I'll figure it out.

that's nice. I wish I had a few to light myself.

I'm afraid I'd have the fire marshall at my door.

Getting ready to go out and play Buzztime(formerly NTN) Trivia.
I went last night, but they were synched in with the Oscars, so all the questions were guessing the outcomes. Which, is bull****.



Homie don't care bout dat ****!

Is that the one they have in bars? OMG, I used to love that sh*t. Then they took it away... I'm a trivia whore. Obviously, if I go into a bar, then play trivia.

Yeah, that's the one. Used to be called NTN......they changed the name to Buzztime! Same games, though.
It costs a bar at least $500/month to have it(from what I've been told), so alot of smaller places feel that they can't afford it. The place I go to, regularly says, "David's the only customer that comes here BECAUSE of Trivia". (cuz if it's broken, I leave).

Sometimes I used to pretend that I was cooler than that, but then I didn't care. The lure of beating people with my command of useless facts was too strong.
