Got something stuck in my head while reading a good book earlier..
"The capitalists owned everything in the world, and everyone else was their slave. They owned all the land, all the houses, all the factories, and all the money. If anyone disobeyed them, they could throw them into prison, or they could take his job away and starve him to death. When any ordinary person spoke to a capitalist he had to cringe and bow to him, and take off his cap and address him as 'sir'. The chief of all the capitalists was called the king."
and a haiku..
Without just one nest
A bird can call the world home
Life is your career
How could you possibly know that?? You may have missed out on a great opportunity or three!
Mikey...it's me we are talking about here. me. Years of rejection, being 'passed over' by comparison, ignored and constant failure has taught me this. It is scientific reasoning that to best determine future behavior one must look at the past. It is as sure as the day is long.
I emailed someone about any job opportunities at a local(ish) mine. I'm not hopeful and I was even nervous emailing, making sure I got my words right, but it's done and who knows what may happen there.
Coooool..... in a mine? I could do something like that myself. Good luck!
Earlier today I thought I'd try to list the things I can do well versus the things that I'm not good at. I was hoping that in doing so I would be able to identify some positives in my daily life. Somehow it back fired. I figured out that I wasn't good at making such a list.
JuiceB, you might want to check out this site called tinybuddha.com. Each day, they post all kinds of inspirational stuff to help you work through and think more positively about all sorts of different challenges that life throws your way. I find that it can help me put things in perspective! 🙂
I have been researching fast food chains based in the USA. Firstly - I want a Taco Bell here. Looks excellent. Secondly - IHOP - International house of pancakes? According to the website there is nothing international about it. Looks good though - a fast food chain serving nothing but breakfast. Brilliant. Dennys? Great - white castle?? Cheescake factory? Applebees? My god it never ends...ARGGGH...

And why, pray tell, have you been researching fast food chains in the US?
Taco Bell is sooooo good! Their crunchy taco supremes are the best! 🙂
IHOP kind of sucks, IMO. There's nothing very rooty tooty, fresh and fruity about their food! 😮 Denny's is slightly better for those 2:00 am breakfast cravings! Lots of "interesting" people to watch too! :😛:
Cheesecake Factory - sooooo good! Their sweet corn tamale cake appetizer is usually all I ever get because it's enough for a whole meal. YUM!!! Applebee's is ok, but not as good.
We have no White Castles here but do have Five Guys! And Burger King, McD's, Jack in the Box, Carl's Jr., Chik-Fil-A, KFC, and so many more!

Uh-oh I think those ho-ho's and ding dongs are starting to infect your system. :😛: Quick run.
I feel I don't matter and everyone is hostile toward me when I have to leave the house. I have had a really stressed out day and tomorrow is likely not going to be an exception. How do I know if I'm having a nerveous breakdown? If that sergeant says anything else to me, I feel I'm finally going off the deep end!

Is there anyway you can relive stress before you go off on him? Go for a run, write a long rant, have a song in your head, ect. If you feel that he may do that, try to come prepared so you'll be less likely to snap. I know how sergeants can be, but still you don't think there is a way to comprise with him?
I never used to read the news in depth, but lately I've been picking up a copy of the RedEye (free sister publication to the Chicago Tribune) every day. Currently reading it right now.

Yes, well, I wouldn't mind trying Taco Bell and having a big Hostess factory here, but we all have to make do. :😛:
My desk lamp gets so hot I can't even touch the thing to move it, and it even hurts to turn the switch off. I swear I'm going to start keeping potholders in here or something.
