I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm feeling that I'll never get a job. The recruiter was pretty down about my chances of getting a SQL job because the market is pretty saturated with people with much more current experience than I have. And it may be a while before I can find a Notes job. SIGH.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Have people heard of Pipl? Supposedly it's the best people search engine - it amalgamates results from many sources.

I'm almost ungoogleable, but it found some matches for me.

Theo, that suck. I woulda' thought SQL knowledge would be a ticket to job goodness. Guess I'm outa' the loop on that one. Maybe continued fallout from the dotcom crash?

Theo, may you have the weirdass freaky bolt from the blue luck I had the past three weeks.

My tutee and I exchanged dental numbness stories. Poor girl had her two-behind-the-canines yanked in prep for braces today. But she's really getting leaps and bounds better at reading comprehension. I don't think I can take credit for that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You will too get a job, Theo.

Remember like last night or two nights ago where everything was going right for you? See? You need to avoid that night.

Crap! It totally is payback.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That search engine freaked me out. I have no idea when I became that accessible. Public records have outed me.

I even tried two of my hard to find friends, and it got pretty close (wanted money for more).

Theo, this shit is random, is all I know.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Theo, you will get a job, and it will be a good one.

I'm home, and I drove safely, and now I can take the good drugs. YAY.

OMG, someone in this big meeting I've been in for two days is apparently having surgery to have a fifth wisdom tooth pulled from behind her eye.

^*(@#*#&^* Brenda just grossed me out and made me do the heeby jeeby dance around the kitchen.

As much as it sucked, I'm glad mine got yanked at 17.
