Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yes, go!

Thrive to spite them

I'm putting myself out there, I found another job to apply for. I saw some signs up for retail jobs but I'm not sure how good I'd be at selling sports equipment.

I paid to get Penny spayed, it's more expensive than the state program but she'll get fixed next Thursday (rather than waiting for paper work to go through).

My other challenge is getting out and doing things (cheap things) even if I'm doing them myself. The town's winter carnival got cancelled (due to lack snow or any real winter) but there's a Chili Cook Off next weekend. I'm not entering, but I'll go and eat some chili, hopefully Will can go with me and if not, then I'll go by myself.

Or maybe see if anyone in the knitting group wants to go.

Good for you, Askye! I'm glad you were able to identify what you were doing and fix it. Good luck finding a job and in reaching your other goals.

Upstairs neighbors have been coming in and out all day, slamming the doors hard enough to make my apartment shake a bit each time.

Compassionately intolerant

Get yourself actually rejected! Get actual experience in trying! And hey, maybe one of them won't be a rejection!

Totally what Liese said.

Yay for getting out in the world askye. I should look into that. Good luck with the job search.

Are any of us near Cranford, NJ?

I'm thinking about this guy: Pork Chop

I think I'm ready for more rejection in the job world. It just sucks because I was applying for so many jobs - office and retail, and I only got one 2nd interview and that was the place I'm at now (where the hours really suck).

It is different now, askye. You are working - even if it isn't a lot. You now have the ability to say no, because you are offered something worse.
