I have been reacquainted with my alleged mental illnesses. I'm OK, not going to do anything stupid, but I remembered what it was that pushed me toward previous acts of desperation and managed to avoid them this time. I don't know what it is about this time of year, but for the last 4 or 5 this has been a shitty time of year for my emotional and ( Read more... )

I had two interviews today...one phone, one face to face...the phone interview culminated in my getting a face to face with the V.P. in charge of the group I would be working for (this is for A LOT of money) and then I went to work and had a face to face interview for a different position at the bank (read: back up plan)...both of these jobs will ( Read more... )

I hate this planet and everything in it. I miss the days when caffeine and nintendo on a 15" black and white screen were all I needed to be happy for an entire spring break...that and a bottle of Tylenol washed down with half a bottle of whiskey...ahhhh, capricious youth. FUCK THIS PLACE. I'm tired of it, I wreak of it...I wanna go home. I don' ( Read more... )
