And then some days aren't so bad.
My unemployment check just showed up in today's mail.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

We should chip in to hire Isaiah Mustafa to say that for you.

Whew, relief. I'm glad, Sean.

Jess, that is fantastic.

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
In happy money news, I just paid off a student loan. I'm so happy I could cry.
That leaves one big loan and a credit card to go, but I'm very nearly out of the hole.

Nice burn, jessica. Whew, Sean, I feel you on this. The company that pays mom to be my attendant once made her meet the boss in the parking lot of a 7-11 to get her check. "Oh," I said. "Like a drug deal." That idiot still tries to pretend to find me funny and irrepressible.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'd been thinking of that joke ever thince the VIKINGTH thing tharted, but I couldn't remember ekthactly how it went.
I really admire people who can do freelance/contract work - I'm just not emotionally cut out for it. Selling out to the man was ultimately very relaxing for me.
This is me. I wish sometimes I could hare off on my own, but I know I can't. Hell, I don't even know what I'd do anymore.

LOL, even.
Sean, glad you got your check.
Steph, people who respond to expressions of one's pain with counterexamples of their own pain make me want to smack them. They remind me of my grandmother... well, everyone in my family, really. I think they think it's just conversation, or something. Lack of empathy - I don't think most of my family comprehends what reaching out for support or sympathy even sounds like, or what to do with it if they realize it's happening.

It's very stressful sometimes working freelance, but I already know I'm happier doing this than working in an office.

I came so close to spitting my TJ's quiche all over my screen. TOTES WORTH IT.
Steph, I hope you find it helpful, in whatever form you use it!
Sean, I'm so glad your check came.
