Sigh. In case you couldn’t guess, tomorrow I begin high school. Again. This means that I can look forward to 9 months of work, pressure, and crappy teachers.
And to make things WORSE, the school is going to get in the way of stuff that really MATTERS, like this message board. So, instead of posting regularly, as I’ve been doing, mine will probably be few and far between. At this rate I’ll NEVER lose the newbie status. Oh, well.
Anyway, just wrote this to bitch, tell all a ya that there is gonna be a severe drop in the number of rants and odd expressions from yours truly. Hey, take that party hat off, there’s no need to celebrate. I’ll still be here, just not as much. Enjoy your time off!

Sigh. In case you couldn’t guess, tomorrow is another day of work. This means that in the next twelve months I can look forward to twelve months of work, pressure, and unreasonable clients and deadlines.
Sorry, dude. You’ll get little sympathy from us working stiffs. I’d **kill** for a three month vacation every year.

But if you killed, wouldn’t you get a 12 month vacation every year?

Tempting. Very tempting. But my list is way too long now.
