Question . Why is it that every thread in the Lifestyles board is a pissing contest ? My belief system is better then yours . My knowledge is superior to yours . Ya know what folks , no one really gives two shits what some anonymous prick on the interwebz has to say about anything . At least anyone with half a brain . Now...

Guess I better update this , or you all may think I offed myself or something . So I've been enjoying my forced time off . Basically I've been relaxing when I can , getting some stuff done around the house that's needed doing for awhile now . And I've gotten back into some old hobbies I haven't been into for years .

I have a new hobby . My new hobby seems to be spending what ever spare cash I have on Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab scents . First I bought 3 bottles that after much perusal of their website I decided would work well on me . A few weeks later , I ordered a 6 pack of their sample bottles . I got my tax...

Beginning to wonder about this . The folks who called me about a job , then emailed me that they didn't want me ( in so many words ) called me again Friday about how they DO want to interview me after all . I don't know .

Ha ! I just got a call from the place I applied to & didn't get hired by last week . Seems that the opening wasn't the only one for that position ! So I will get a second chance . My day started shitty but man , it's been spiraling upward since about noon .

Alrighty then . I am really hating life in general at the moment . Didn't get the job . Didn't go into my current job today due to ice storm . And I'm currently hating myself for all of the above . I certainly hope to have a good time in Philly Friday night , as I am REALLY going to need it . To...
