Since I had one or two people wondering where I've been the last couple of days, I figured I should at least attempt to explain myself to a small degree, out of sheer politeness. Basically, this last week was a really bad one for me, and so I ended up taking a sort of miniature break from most of my usual internet travels. To start, I ended up giving myself a hernia on Monday, which caused me to miss out on school nearly all this week (catching up sucks balls :angry: ). Then, when I went to the doctor to get it checked out, I happened to discover during a random urine test that my genes have finally caught up with me, and I have diabetes. Fun stuff so far, huh? Well, to top things off, my family's money situation has progressed to a dangerous level - aka, we have until the end of the year to scrape together $2000, or our house gets auctioned off to pay the back taxes. THEN, I'm forced to miss a pair of credit card payments due to my own lack of money, which results in me owing over $600 in fees and charges, with more building up every day. And finally, just as I was fighting to keep my head above water, figuratively speaking...I lose my job. Yes, the job I just started this week. Apparently, I had misunderstood something I was told at my interview, and in order to get the sales kit I needed to hawk my wares I had to put down a $150 deposit. And with absolutely NO ONE capable of loaning me anywhere near that kind of scratch, I was rather bluntly dropped from the training program. Now, if this sounds overly depressing...well, it is. But, I'm doing a lot better now that I've had a bit of time to recover from it. I'm planning to head to the post office on Tuesday to try and sign up for the Civil Servants Exam, since postal work pays damn good and has great benefits if you can get on, and I'm checking out other job ideas too, so I'm not TOTALLY without hope yet. But, I've still got an awful lot on my plate, so if I seem sorta distant or uncommunicative the next week or so, don't take it personally. |

Thanks for the thoughts, guys. I'm feeling really shitty now, but I'm not utterly without hope, so there's still time for things to get better. |

Well, I look at it this way: I've been getting my ass kicked all my life thus far, so if things are gonna get comparatively better later, then my golden years oughtta be freakin' amazing. XD In the meantime, I've found a couple of ways to keep my spirits up.... *goes off to hum the Gunleon theme VERY LOUDLY in Fencedude's presence* |

I can make you a Fencedude voodoo doll, if you want. And...where did you hear the Gunleon theme and can I hear it, too? |

Jesus, bossman. Here's hoping something starts looking up soon. Like... I dunno... a radioactive spider bite that gives you superpowers. If you've got this much crap flying around right now, something that big had better be countering it... <_< |

At this rate, I think I'd be more likely to get hit in the eyes with radioactive waste and develop "radar sense", or discover the power to shrink stuff and talk to ants. >_> |

*saluting-supportive-Aussie-manly HUG* heheh when the one type is NOT enough. All the best to you Bossman. Only way is up from here, right? You've got the support of the Guild - and although intangible at the moment, know that we all care. |

Don't forget to water your ATM. If it fizzles and explodes, you probably did it right. |
