I'm abandoning her.
It's been real. It's been fun. But not so much real fun.
This forum has provided me with enough distractions at work since 2006. I think it's time that I kiss it and Discordianism goodbye if I ever intend to get anywhere in life.
I took that bath with the rosary. Oh yes I did. Here's photographic evidence (sorry I lied about the bourbon, it's a Yuengling bomber instead):
(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a356/theonlyang/Mobile%20Uploads/Image1184.jpg)
I said the rosary. The whole fucking thing. Halfway through the 1st decade I lost my shit, but then I got it back, and turned it into a drinking game with the beer and the Our Fathers...Then I got on a roll and forgot. I'm okay, it's a huge beer anyway and will take me a while.
It didn't show me the face of God or anything, all it did was focus me, and force me to meditate on something that wasn't the thought of smashing the offending executive assistant across the face with Richter's huge wrench. I'm not turning back to Catholicism, or anything faith for that matter.
Faith isn't the answer, focus is, and that's something I haven't had for a while. Losing a job because I'm stupid is one thing, but losing one that directly effects my academic progress is something I really don't care for. I don't like it when something I take THAT seriously is jeopardized. I dropped my archaeology class as soon as I got the pink slip. I knew it was pointless because I wouldn't be able to find a job with that class dangling in there.
I'm starting to think that maybe school really isn't for me after all. I love it, I love studying and learning new things, but to have such a great first year knocked out from under me in such a blow isn't exactly a good sign for the rest of my career. It's pretty obvious that my correct motorcycle is not my master's degree, it's bartending. Like my mother before me. I will continue to live my life of white trashhood as was bestowed to me at birth.
Maybe a miracle will happen, maybe not...PROBABLY not...so I'm starting to explore options of returning to Florida permanently by Christmas. I'll complete my fall semester and use my excess grant money to fund my move. I'll be able to get an apartment close to my folks, and my family and I are going to explore the option of buying our own pub. If my mom, my brother and myself all go into it, we may be able to afford a loan to buy out a local place, take it over, renovate and start it up.
My summer will be spent here doing odd jobs, costume orders, finishing MSY (finally, I'll have all the time in the fucking world now) and exploring options for transfer to USF if I feel like it.
Of course, every time I threaten to leave Rhode Island, it finds a way to keep me. So, we'll see just exactly what happens. I'm just sick and tired of making it back on my feet just in time to be knocked back down. I can't take this anymore. I'm lucky my bowels haven't tried to escape through my tramp stamp yet today...but the day isn't over!
I'm probably not leaving the boards for good, PD is like Hotel California or some shit as has been demonstrated previously, but I guess this means it's some sort of 2 minute warning.
You can't leave Discordia, unless you get raptored.
STAY IN FUCKING SCHOOL SUU. Do whatever it takes. Get your ass out of here BUT STAY IN SCHOOL.
1. Pic does not deliver.
2. You have a tramp stamp?
3. Instability is overrated. Get yourself straightened out. There's a 97% chance we'll still be here when you come back.

She's fucking with everything, Rog. She's even fucking with DF, and that's not cool. (Must be true love, right?) His car is so fubared that he can't even get me from Lowell if I go up there this weekend, so I'm probably going to be resume bombing the city and praying more rosaries at this point...Not for god, but for my sanity.

This.
Also, Suu is making some rather brash assumptions. It MAY be that Eris is keeping things from going totally overboard.
It's like that Christian homily that people insist on hanging in their kitchens:
QuoteA man looked back on his life, and saw it as a beach. There were two sets of prints on the beach, one of which was his, and one of which was Jesus's.
one set of prints weren't there at the times when things had been toughest, so the man asked Jesus why there was only one set of prints when times got rough. Why had Jesus abandoned him then?"
Jesus replied, "That's because I was carrying you." "That's because"Because there was a fucking tidal wave in India, a runaway reactor or three in Japan after another tidal wave, the whole planet's in the crapper, and there's like 47 wars going on. Your problems just weren't as important. Suck it up."
So the man gave up Christianity and became a Scientologist, because they told him that his problems weren't of his own making, which is all anyone really wants from religion.
My problems are probably of my own. Or it's the apocalypse. Or it's nothing more than dumb luck, but if anyone here can give me an accurate count of how many jobs I've lost since I've started posting on this board, I'll be impressed.
Also.

I should probably mention that I am not totally unemployed. I still work for the newspaper, but it's not a lot of income. She wants me to be office bitch (actual job title) for her when they finally get into their office space, but that's all still hanging in limbo. Hope isn't lost, it's just a lot freaking dimmer.
In other news, I was denied for food stamps again. Reason: Student.
Right, because the coworker that took my job hours isn't? I was told I was eligible. Fuck you once again, Rhode Island. Fuck you. In the face.
That sucks, Suu. I hope everything works out. I am sure it will, you are a force to be reckoned with.
I need to find something temporary until the newspaper office is ready for me to take over as manager. The editor just pretty much told me that my hours and pay will be exceeded, but it's just the annoying waiting game now.
On the plus side, this will probably be the most obnoxious office job I will ever have if it works out. The editor is a batshit-in-the-best-way yoga master who's 7 months pregnant at the time. Her 2nd in command is a crazy Canuckistani from Winnipeg who met me right after my divorce was final and gave me a huge CONGRATS. We're loud and crazy people together.

Not so awesome situation.

This. Hope everything works out for you. :sad:
Suu: I advise you ITT
1- Wear a hat. If you already wear a hat, wear two.
2- Learn the Attributes of Allah instead, and recite them. He's a Kinder, Gentler Deity. Oh, my, yes.
3- Scratch that, recite those endless prayers at me instead. They don't really do anything for me, but yanno, I gotta boost my high score.
4- The Bastinado is your friend, and should be applied at all times to situations where it is wildy over the top and innappropriate.
5- What the fuck is that hideous looking shit on your bath tub, I don't even... Get some spirits girl, to go with your spiritual.
6- Life is a machine. When it stops working, hit it. When it stops working even more because you hit it, hit it more-er than that. You HAVE to keep that sneaky bastard in line or it'll sneak up on you and steal your kidneys to buy meth.
7- When I'm feeling down, I consider that it could be worse. I could be AKK.
8- Eris ain't done nuffin wrong, if'n she ain't also done nuffin right. She didn't tell me that, I made it up. I'm not so good at speaking to imaginary friends now... :(
9- :eek::1fap:
10- TIA for now.
Payne, with the true voice of reason.

That sir, is Yuengling. The finest mediocre American lager on the market, and totally contraband in Rhode Island as they don't distribute East of the Hudson River.

Blech.
That's the kinda stuff I drink after I throw up from drinking too much rum - to stabilise myself.
Needs more hideous spirits, FACT.
Pick your poison.

Black Strap.
I'd help you drink it, but my lips don't pucker that far :(
One day, one of us will cross the Pond, and then there will be many shenanigans with the Black Strap.
:lmnuendo:
Sorry to hear about everything, Suu. :sad: Good luck, and give yourself today to be pissed and upset. Maybe tomorrow things will seem a bit brighter or you'll find new options to explore.
Suu. Seriously. Quit this all, but don't ditch you education. You're pissed and tired of jumping through hoops and just want out, which means that puts you exactly where I was, 2 years ago. Don't sell yourself short, don't give up and don't think you could be happy doing food service for the rest of your life, bar or restaurant or whatever. Some people can do that and love it. You and I aren't those people. We would both get so fucking bored with it that we'd go nuts, booze or no. Same with living that close to our parents. Seriously.
If you're sick and tired of it already, wondering what the hell you're doing, why the hell you're putting yourself through this, thats GOOD. That's exactly where you need to be, because you have to break through that wall eventually and better now than later. I had to break through that wall two years ago and, yes, I had to drop most of my classes in the process but I didn't leave school.
And besides, we made a deal about pretty pictures, yah?

Straight forward and simple. It works. I walked off campus more times than you can imagine ready to just go home and say "fuck it". Shit happens, jobs are lost, funding disappears, there's a hole in your sock, you just have to pull yourself up and keep on going. You have a goal, stick to it.
Life sucks, for all of us. I hate you are having to go thru this, but in the long run you'll appreciate the effort you put into it.
Or you can walk off and say "fuck it". Put the blame everywhere except where it belongs, which is life. Life is going to kick your ass whether your tending bar or living your dream. The only difference is the quality of alcohol and friends. You have friends now who love you and will stand by you. I understand the desire to go home. It's natural. But I also have read many many times how your family makes you insane. You're forgetting that right now. Don't.
Find a crappy job for the summer if you have to and do what you have to do. You are damn lucky. Make the most of that!
