I just submitted a resume and cover letter for a door to door sales job for a Canadian phone company - the $12 per hour wage + commission is what attracted me, despite how terrible this job might end up being.

I'm also starving for work, so a LOT of jobs look delicious right now.

Well... I wish you luck on your job hunt, good sir. But don't do anything that you will totally dread. You may end up regretting it.

Good luck. I hope that everything will end up well.

Well, it's official, I start work on my Spoken Word Poetry Youtube channel tomorrow! I already have one poem written and I'm very happy.

Good luck NL!

Well, all moved in, but it will be a couple weeks before there's any space to move yet.

I'm kinda nervous though. Me and my wife both brought our old furniture in, and mine consists of a lot of old antiques that my demented ex ordered with my money, during her shopping binges years back. I ended up with most of it due to it being my money, and haven't sold it or got rid of it due to most of it being rare and rather nice items, and would just be troublesome and expensive to move.
However, the few times I've ever mentioned my past relationships to my wife, she cried, and I silently vowed never to bring it up again.

But now, with so much of this stuff being in close proximity and both of us using it, there's bound to be a lot of "how/where/why did you get this stuff" questions coming up in the near future, and I really don't want to lie, yet now being in a perfectly happy marriage with both of us moved into our new house, I'm just scared to death of losing that, especially over some stupid skeleton in my closet (if anyone can call something as common as a past/failed relationship a "skeleton in the closet").

Not only that, but I now just feel uneasy and uncomfortable in such close proximity with this stuff, which feel like relics of a past I'd rather forget and move on.
Yet, whether I decide to keep or get rid of this stuff, she'll feel like something's up.

I guess furniture carries memories.
When it was just me, single and alone in my old apartment, it was no problem, but now I've got a new and happy life, and I'm desperately trying to hold on to that and move on with things.

Wishing you luck Sapphire! *hugs from me too*

Today my gramps is moving to a retirement home, hope he likes it

The more I think of him, the more my maths prof looks like forest gump, this is weird. Except that he likes the film and keeps telling us about it.

Thank you, Letalis!

Well, I'm glad you said that. Hopefully, people can sense that I'm not just cold and disinterested, and that I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything.

Adding my good wishes to NL's poetry channel, Orlok's job search.
Sapphire, that is so horrible, I hope that events of closure will come to you, I just don't know what better to say.

Centurion, I wish I knew what to advise, but I feel for you.

Bleh. Got a conference to go to in a few days along with a few coworkers. The headless chickens are coming out of the woodwork on last-minute details. Pass me the Advil. I'm sure all will be fine once I get to the conference.

Thank you everyone. I have periods of almost forgetting, and then something will happen and it all comes back again. I've lived with it for six years now, about time he has to live with what he did too.

I have a friend who despite being born and raised in the UK thinks everything we do is pants compared to the US, (good thing she's moving over there to get married and become a housewife, means she doesn't have to pay off all the money our government gave her for her university education. As a taxpayer I'm quite upset by this, as I have zero chance of going to uni.) How can you moan about the NHS? No it's not free, that what our taxes and National Insurance are for, something she's never contributed, but nevermind. You live in your little bubble, while I work my arse for ingrates like you. Have I mentioned her family are minted? No wonder she's no concept of the real world.

^^I don't think I could ever become a housewife, broke or not. I'd get bored. I can understand why you're upset, though; it seems like she's not appreciative of the benefits she's gotten.

Necromantic: That's great! As a fellow writer, I wish you all the luck in the word!

orlok: That's good. I understand the job-hunt, as I am doing the same.

At a loss of what to do right now; I just got rejected by two schools that I was trying to transfer to. *sigh* Now I have to figure out what to do for next year, because the community college I go to doesn't have a higher level of Japanese, and I need to continue it if I ever hope to become an interpreter.

ittybitty - Ouch, I am sorry that did not work out for you, and I hope that something great comes out for you even before next year.

There was a small earthquake about 30 miles away from me last night (4.1, no injuries or anything reported). I felt my bed shake back and forth once[1] and I woke up "Oh shit!"

[1]not LS' fault (for once)

Okay, I'm off to work.

Having no money has got to be one of the most frustrating things.

After being told I was being hired on to a new job full time and then immediately laid off after quitting my part-time job, I've still yet to find a new one. Reno NV has some of the highest unemployment in the country right now, great time to get screwed on a job.

Wish me luck

Thank you, Ittybitty and Harpy, for the well-wishes!

Ittybitty: I know that you'll get everything figured out when the time comes.

Job, and to an extent, money troubles are things I know quite well. This economy is devestating, and especially for a guy like me who is just looking for even the *entry-level* shit right now -it's more so because I'm finding I have little to no return on my investment that I made by going to university for 5 years.
