Take it from me, don't default on your mortgage.
I have access to so much confidential and personal information about people, I'm changing my occupation to "Watchman". As in "Who watches the _____?" You have no idea how much information about you just floats around out there. Because of the NDA I signed when taking this job, I don't think I can explain what kind...

Not much time to chat, this new job is rough. Lots of new information to absorb. Lots. That said, I'm apparently doing well so far. It'll calm down a bit once I've been around for a couple months and have had some time to get used to the new lexicon of mortgage related vocabulary.
That's it for now.

Thanks for looking out

Now that's an interesting paradox, isn't it.
Friends and Fellow-Citizens:
CALLED upon to undertake the duties of the first executive office of our country, I avail myself of the presence of that portion of my fellow-citizens which is here assembled to express my grateful thanks for the favor with which they have been pleased to look toward me, to declare a sincere consciousness that the task is above my talents, and that...

So, you win the thread:
Top of the page, even.
Thank you for that. I couldn't clear the "loud, rude asshole" response out of my head. I just really hate fake intellectuals that come on all "you have to ask me politely to give me time to do my on-line research" when you point out their bullshit.

I have to admit I didn't see all of it. I got back from work just in time to hear the poety and the reverend (reverand? - the priest, anyway) speech as I prepared dinner. Poor bloke, though. There has been some harsh news in the papers these last couple of days. He will not have some easy couple of years ahead of him.
Oh, I am as surprised as you are. Then again, I tend to give attention to the guys who seem harmless. Maybe that's my thing. I just look harmless.

I threw my annual Festivus party last night, which is why I've been missing a couple days - preparation and the actual party. I know that Festivus has already long passed us, but I think that strict schedules go against the spirit of Festivus. After all, it's supposed to be for the rest of us.
Anyhow, had about 6 people over. Nothing huge. I only...

The NCCAM, or National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine, has been open for over 15 years in a couple different incarnations. This is a government funded institution researching such things as qi, homeopathy, acupuncture, etc, etc, etc. It attempts to demonstrate the validity of alternative medicine techniques through the scientific process.

I dunno. I'm trying to figure stuff out at the moment. But that quote says it all to me.
A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?

I'm gonna give it a day before starting a new Boxxy thread. It seems to be just a little too heated in the group ATM but eventually, yes, I will start a new one that will hopefully stay on track and we can post as much boxxy crapola as our little hearts desire 
But locking that thread broke my heart. A piece of me might actually like Boxxy the meme.

Well, I got the job.
I will, as of the 26th, officially be a forensic pathologist for the dreams and hopes of Americans.
Wait, not officially. Figuratively. That's the word.
But yes, the job is to, essentially, look at where someone's attempt to secure a mortgage went horribly wrong and write up reports about it. As you can imagine, this company is doing very well...

Well, got stoned for the first time in my life last night. Eh. Just made me feel dumber, unable to keep track of anything for more than a few seconds.
I felt like I kept saying rude things to the other people who were there, thinking they were funny and realizing they weren't as soon as I said them. No one took any offense to...

Word, dude. I did that the first time last year. A friend of mine had talked so much about how "awesome" it was to just "lie down and smile for a couple of hours" so finally I conceded, but all it did was make me slow and stupid and bored. He is a sweet guy, but it did make me question both his vices and his common sense. As one sould question the mentality of a man who likes feeling stupid.
But the song was pretty neat.

Fair enough, but I prefer to have a cup of tea and a book. I, too, like feeling intelligent and I am a bit afraid of letting go of that. Maybe because sometimes I feel like that is all I have.
I'm sorry about the girl. Those things hurt. Even more so when you have to see them every day and the wound never get the chance to heal before it is torn open again.
Then again, I could have told you that trying to get somewhere with somebody on grass is pretty much like trying to melt the polar ice with your mind - a very slow business. Yet another reason to prefer alcohol.
That last one was by the way the Least Politically Correct sentence of the week.
