What does it mean when an internet meme eerily matches your life?

Holy crap. May the economic choke point open up for you, and may you be the beneficiary of gains that will enable you to bring yourself out from under this situation. *hugs you*

Thank you. I'm running some numbers, and will talk to the gallery director on Tuesday. I just hope that I won't make some mistake in talking to her that will make things worse. I've always gone by the "be happy with what you have, asking is selfish" ethos in life, even though I'll admit that my life is rather barren as a result (she says while spilling her guts on her blog).

It's just that I made a huge jump in coming here, and am feeling that I made a big mistake... and I should have known better.

Its so hard to get settled in a new place. Even harder when you're the only newbie. I will try to remember to give you a call, ASAP.

Thanks, my folks called later, and I broke the news to them, and some of the plans I have already worked out, which sounded good to them. Still felt a little bad for it, the surgery Dad is facing is to take care of a crumbling disc in his neck that is pinching the hell out of nerve endings. Grandma (his side) had it, and an uncle (dad's bro) had it too, but the surgery helped a lot. That, and the surgeon he's going to talk to is praised to the skies on a regular basis.

Makes me glad I got out of architecture; my neck and shoulders were really screwed up for a long time afterwards, and I am relieved that I am no longer aggravating that part of my body given that I have a family history of spinal stenosis to watch out for.
