8. these Sam came out of the hotel bar
so they are about the same price as the wine, :shrug: not my money and the bast#$&$ards have me traveling over the weekend. Are the beers bribes, buy the bed... get a beer? We got a piza, wine and beer sounds like a party.

15. When I had my other job
I used to go to conferences at least once a year to different parts of the country, and one year, even Toronto. I miss that.

18. I travel way too much
I'd like to spend more time at home. But you do what you can and it's more fun then not. I really can't complain, most days I love it. Just tired and grumpy. Toronto is a great city.

20. Too much of anything can suck
I didn't travel that much, so it seemed more like a vacation, especially when I've never had much money to take real ones.

I absolutely loved Toronto.

17. I'm underemployed right now

Where did you move and what line of work?

41. Charlotte NC area
Will most likely go back to waiting tables/bar tending in a local restaurant. Shouldn't be too hard to find a job in that field.

43. My mom (when she was alive)
would NEVER say anything like that. Even though I had always worked two or three jobs, she would ask why I wasn't working if I had a day off. God forbid I take a "mental health day."

30. I'm on a three day jag too nowhere...
Big assignment and the bug fuck of an editor is ramming his pissante outlook on life right down my throat...

Working on a serious drug mix, with a few hits of X, some jamacin Hash, grown by naked black women who sweat and run through the field to collect the magic resin which is then scraped off by Blind nuns who think they are doing the lords work.

It's just better that way....


Three vials of various pain killers, a jar of ether and a cuban cigar I stole from that Fat Fuck Limbaugh when he wasn't looking...

Strange craziness as I call my attorney to get him here to guide me through the weirdness.....

And why do you have no user profile?

What will you be doing until 5? Is it your turn to watch us?

50. I'm an emergency dispatcher..
I work overnights for
a law enforcement agency.
I didn't realize I don't
have a profile. I'll
remedy that.
I am a 41 yoa female.
I live in a very red county
in North Central Florida.
My boss is a Democrat. He is only
one of two elected Democrats in
our county. My hobby is to
harass all blinker wearing
freepers I possibly can.
Hello to all.......
