I want to thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday in spite of my attempts to ignore the hell out of it ;) I try my best not to pull the 'oh woe is me no one remembered my birthday'; I think it's more of a defense mechanism because I always forget friend's birthdays and want that convenient 'Get Out of Jail Free' card after people 'forget' ( Read more... )

So my life has taken an intended turn recently, as after my trip to Japan I left my position as a furniture salesman to pursue greener pastures. It had been almost two years at the job, and I felt I hit a brick wall when I asked my boss for a raise and he gave me a spiel about how this job was created with high school students in mind (nice guy, ( Read more... )
