I kinda assume this happens. Daily.

Don't I wish. It would make the work day a lot more interesting.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

There is no innocent Way. Bless them for that.

It's true. There is only the Other Way.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Has anyone here been through any type of career counseling?

I've noticed that I havent had a stomach ache, acid reflux, or that feeling that I'm about to throw up at any second, since I've been home.

My conclusion is that white hot job rage is causing me severe stress. I'm 34, I can't start some sort of internship position...and I have no idea what to do, what I'd be happy doing. Or at least, less miserable doing.

I seriously think I need to actually sit down with someone and make a list of shit I can do, shit that I believe I would be doing in one of the circles of hell, and what my skills are worth.

I often think I have no skills, which isn't actually the case.

Where can I go to get some sort of career counseling that doesn't involve a fucking typing test?

I mean, if I wrote a book, I don't need to take a typing test, right?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Allyson, all I can say is be wary. A friend of our paid something like $5K to a place that promised him career counseling and placement. He never did find a new job. He totally got taken in--and he's a pretty smart guy.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Watching Twin Peaks is making me want donuts. I really shouldn't walk over to DD tonight...

I just started watching my super-duper deluxe boxed set last night. My first question after it was over was about where to get donuts. Sadly, my housemate's only info on the subject involved Krispy Kreme.

That's just the thing. They all sort of look like snakeoil salesmen, or cheap recruiters.

I'm stuck.
