What are you thinking?

^/hugs for Stitched!! You are not any of those. TAT I hope it passes soon.

"

I really really wish Mandatory OT would go away. I feel unwashed and terrible."

"

Looks like I won't get paid on time again. I know I shouldn't be this selfish and I should be a reasonable adult, but I really want to quit..."

"

I'm so conflicted right now. Do I quit or do I stick with a job I don't like? I have enough money saved up to cushion me for awhile, but is it the responsible thing to do? What if I can't get another job right away? Will future employers shun me? I know this is my decision to make and I shouldn't force it onto anyone else, but times like this I wish someone would just make the decision for me. Damn decisions..."

^ Ah, I know how you feel. It's up to you, of course, but it does help to have another job lined up or at least to be looking for one, just as a precaution, but if you can afford to take the time off that's okay too! :>

In my experience, a lot of jobs I've applied for have asked me to "

explain any gaps in your employment record,"

and a few interviewers have put me on the spot about it, but you could always say you were taking time off to improve your skills or learn something, work on a project, pursue other opportunities, spend time with your family, etc. .... I think the trick is just to find something positive to say about any situation, y'know? C:

^ I agree with Stitched. Line up alternatives before you consider dropping your job. Just for practical reasons. And then kapow, you're still a reasonable adult.

"

It's strange to tell your mother you've been emotionally abused by your father and she shrugs it off and says you shouldn't be angry."

^Thanks for the advice, guys! Working at a job I hate going on two years just makes me feel miserable, but I know I shouldn't make any important decisions on a whim. I still don't know what I want to do with my life, and I guess it scares me that I might wake up at 30 and still be at this place.

"

I'm SO glad I left a reminder where to continue programming in XenoComi 5, otherwise...I probably should program in a cleaner way."

"

Oh boy, raining again. Well, at least the plants will appreciate it."

"

I hope this goes okay. I really, really hope everything goes okay. ....Can I just give up and make novels for a living??"

"

Okay, maybe I was over reacting at the time. I've calmed down and cleared my head. I probably should wait until I hear back from another job first, though taking time off to do some soul searching does sound nice, but it isn't the responsible thing to do."

^ Good luck, both of you!

"

Well, that was a weird hangover."

"

They are not going to block me from here. D: They can't. >

_<

"

"

Okay, I know my thoughts of quitting were rash, but the same could probably be said about blindly going back to school...right? I'll just give it a week to think over, just like last time."



"

Oh man, do I really look five years older with my beard long?"

"

I will never be okay with people calling a single pair of pants 'a pant.' No. That's not how it works. That's not how pants work. I don't even care which one is grammatically more correct or if there's some obscure 15th century manuscript justifying the use of 'pant,' it just makes me uncomfortable."

"

Well, what do we have here"

, I thought to myself on saturday's morning. "

This little *.rar archive has a very curious name, wouldn't you agree? (I sometimes to talk to myself, you see) 'Xenogears', is it?"



I seemed to remember having some trouble with getting this collection of 1s and 0s to work when I first found it several months ago;

riding out this bout of curiousity, I googled the problem and found out it belonged squarely between the chair and the keyboard - apparently ePSXe doesn't want to launch certain format of disk images directly and requires the user to point it towards the corresponding *.mds file instead. So up and onto the 'Run' menu option I clicked.

...sometime during today's morning I remembered this 'Tower of Babel' my playthrough yesterday seemed to indicate I will soon be heading towards was said to be the most frustrating part of the experience yet and decided to take a short break and check up with some of the forums I go to. Hopefully I will make it to the end of this adventure soon and will be able to participate in the other half of the forum without fear of spoilers and such.

Hope to see you soon on the other side.

"

That was much akin to being shoved into a burning elevator with a bunch of fire ants and one grappling hook."

^ *huuuuuuugs*

"

Being an adult is too hard. *curls into a ball* I am now an armadillo."

"

So worth it. However...I really wish that I didn't have to deal with my basement."

"

Maybe I should bring some stuff indoors from the garden ... but maybe all that rain is good? How do plants work? All I know is if it destroys my sugar peas again this year I'll be very disappoint."

"

SUGAR PEAAAS!"

"

Whoa, people are quitting like crazy around here. You'd think they'd be hiring people right now..."

@Kat: This. owo

"

Well, everything certainly looks greener today."

"

Argh, so many conflicting thoughts. Do I do it...? Or do I not...? Nope, gotta make that decision myself."

"

Is it gunna let me post today?"

"

I really like how moss looks. Why do people even want grass on their lawns when they could have moss?"
