I need to go away again. Having just worked over 80 hours during the Thanksgiving week, I am experiencing feelings of anxiety, stress, and extreme need-to-get-the-fuck-out-of-hereness. But where to go ( Read more... )

The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and little children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville -- mighty Casey has struck out.

Well, I finally did it. I quit my job at REI. Again. As with the last two times, no one really expects this to last. I got comments of, "You're quitting again!?!" from at least three people. But for now, at least, I am done. I went in last night, worked (if you can call it that) for two hours, bought almost $300 worth of crap that I probably ( Read more... )
