"These are illusions of popular history which a successful religion must promote: Evil men never prosper; only the brave deserve the fair; honesty is the best policy; actions speak louder than words; virtue always triumphs; a good deed is its own reward; any bad human can be reformed; religious talismans protect one from demon possession; only females understand the ancient mysteries; the rich are doomed to unhappiness..."

The Fates have been entirely too good to me as of late. Just when I let an opportunity walk out the door, I watched it walk right back in. I was given a second chance and I took it. I'm looking forward to finding out what happens next.

Work sucks, mostly because I'm not working and I really need to be. I have a great lead on what sounds like a dream job for me, but first I need to get some training and certifications that I can't afford right now. Very frustrating. Well, better late than never. If anyone wants to see my resume....
