Its St. Patricks Day, and I was wondering if you dopers were getting wasted, I just picked up my case a beer and bag of weed, now I just have to find some food coloring to turn my beer green
I am certainly getting wasted. All these brilliant writing talents, great ideas—and here I am copy-editing!
If THAT’S not getting wasted, I dunno what IS!
Hey, Splifster - quit bogarting that thing!

if I give you some, the rest of the teeming doper millions are gonna be after my stash, sorry dude
Hey look, jayburner is back.
I envy you, Eve. At least you’re working with words. How about having (semi-)brilliant writing talents but being stuck doing secretarial/reception work (I am so not one of those always-smiling “people” people… GAH!) for a total a-hole jerk of a civil servant because there just don’t seem to be any decent-paying writing/editing jobs around? And then, the one thing about your job that you DO like (web development) gets handed over to some IS newbie geekoid without so much as a “F*** you, Tyler” (this happened yesterday).
Of course, that one year I went freelance and actually WROTE for a living I was supremely happy… but entirely too broke.
End realization: I’ll write when I win the Lotto. Till then, cash is king. Someone’s gotta buy the kitty litter…
FYI: Yes, I am feverishly trying to get the hell out of “Dodge.” Anyone out there need a word-girl?

“Not everybody does it, but everybody should.”
OK, Story, I feel sorrier for you than I do for me.
Does that make you feel better, or even worse?
You should come check out the job market here in Raleigh. Less that a 1% unemployment rate, and the pay is very competitive. There are jobs available here that sound like they would fit you well.

Well, my teacher wants to read the rest of my partial-thesis thingy. Since it’s due tomorrow and I could use some extra credit, that’s what I’m doing tonight.
No parties for the little schoolgirl!
Tomorrow’s will probably be a pretty empty class…
