Frown: My Sister asked me if I knew of any producers or directors. Apparently my emails of MINIONS updates have gone unread. What a geek burger with cheese.

Going to bed and then going to a meeting this morning. Fucking A, the wardrobe for the cigarette girls was deemed "slutty". They're cigarette girls who want to dress like pin ups. LET THEM.

It's as if people are saying "let's not maker money". Frustrating as shit on sneakers.

And sure, my wife and I can make make martinis for the event, but without a doubt we are the youngest and best looking couple who are our volunteering. Not saying that in vain, but if a couple is assigned to welcome people, make that couple attractive. My wife and I fit that bill.

I'll sort shit out tomorrow.

Finished my first day on the job. Have a toe blister but it went great otherwise. I have never bussed or done anything of the sort before but I had zero issues, got compliments, and came home with some extra cash in my pocket. :mrgreen:

Smile: Just heard back about my broken phone. They can't fix it, so they're going to credit it towards an Samsung Galaxy S5 (it was an S3) and I'll pay the difference. At the moment they're selling them for $600, but they're crediting me $500 so I essentially get to upgrade two generations for one hundred smacko's :D Pretty good score for an unlocked phone!

The other day I had my interview for my next maths course, and it all went extremely well. Not so hard when you had an A average in your previous course I guess ;) That hard work payed off! On top of that, the whole semester was only $64... which is quite a bit less than I had anticipated. Swell.

On top of everything, my awesome as shit manager wrote me a really great reference so I can start job hunting now for Survey Assistant jobs now. Not only then will I'll be studying, but I'll be actively gaining experience for when I eventually become an actual Surveyor. Happy times!

Not so smile: I've dropped a few subscribers recently on YouTube and I don't know why, and I feel my videos are better than they've ever been. Ah well, I guess I'll just keep soldiering through. I'm having boat loads of fun making them, so why stop?

Perplexed: Tomorrow I'll be speaking with a friend of a friend who lost his fingers on his left hand by being a dumbass on July 4th, Truth.

On one hand I'd like to be his coach and teach him how to cope and deal with everyday tasks.

If there was another hand, and I'd like to tell him he's an idiot.

But I won't be a jerk and will help the guy out. He needs to learn how to adapt. Tying his shoes, typing, playing sports with his kids, and mostly keeping his jobs are my goals. His job "requires two hands".

Bullsnot. If I can play Beethoven this guy can pick locks and make keys.

I'll have to tone down my 'tude as I'm a bit militant, but this will be quite the experience.



Smile: My wife and I are all romantic and stuff. Tickles, giggles, watching the sunset, all the stuff that makes most duders barf. But we also watch Breaking Bad together, so it's not all rainbows and unicorns.

Not to make a joke but did he do it ala the peter's super ultra mega....for some odd reason I can see someone doing that in real life so it's not funny like they tried to make it seem in the show :-\

Agreed. You should speak to your doctor about this very soon. I am confident that he or she can help you.

I really want to see a professional, but I can't get medical insurance. I started working on it last December. I got a single phone call on Martin Luther King Jr. Day to let me know that it was in the hands of the WV Department of Health and Human Resources. After that I couldn't get in touch with my case worker. I called several times and left voice mails. Nothing. I asked repeatedly for her email (so that there would be record of my attempts to contact her) but I was refused. I went into the DHHR on foot (an all day process on my only day off) just to find that she wasn't there. After months of this going nowhere I got a rejection letter in the mail. I really don't know what to do now.

Exercising outdoors (bicycling, canoeing, hiking, et cetera) seems to help, but only for a moment. The same old negative thoughts come back, and they bring new ones along for the ride.

For a little while, volunteering in my community helped me feel better, but now I'm stressed out from doing too much. I work two part-time jobs, plus whatever money I can make on the side, plus volunteer and I'm still flat broke. How does that happen? I know plenty of people who don't do any work at all, and they're just as broke as I am. What's the point of doing anything?

:lol: : Was just about to get pissy with Amazon over what I thought was a messed up shipping label that I paid $7 for :P. Thought the weights were off since I paid for 2 pounds 7 ounces and the label said what I thought was 2 pounds 5 ounces. Was so used to selling in ounces I didn't notice they converted everything over to pounds on their labels :lol: at least that is a weight off my shoulders :P. Wished I had realized that before I messaged the buyer but at least now she knows her package is coming priority now and it was a "just in case" message anyways :lol: .
