Just had a meeting with the recruiter and on Thursday I'll have the official job interview with the company. It'll basically be my current job minus the chaotic craziness plus lots more money.
Stoked.

That's 3 hours every day of my life back that I won't spend standing at bus stops in the rain. That's the ability to go where I please when I so desire. Freedom is mine at last! (And it did it before the first snow!)

Meet my Subaru Impreza. Her name is :Neroli:.

I'm sure he'd go out of his way just to run you down. Got to be worth, what, 5000 points at least?

My dad and stepmom a couple of weeks removed from his death-bed. Tough SOB.

Bf won us tickets to an advanced screening of The Disaster Artist at the Alamo Drafthouse SF tonight! Tbh we're keeping our expectations in check but I'm low key prepared for Tommy Wiseau to roll through.

If you had a hard time driving on dry pavement, you're gonna have a hell of a time on snow. I suggest you have someone experienced take you to a large empty parking lot where you can practice doing reverse donuts.

@Chula: great news man. I bet if Death comes near him the Grim Reaper will be eating hollow points, huh?

I don't know how long it took me to delete my sister's phone number or stop setting a place for her at the table after she passed 2 years ago.

Still haven't deleted my aunt's number. It even hurt when her house was sold. Kinda feels like you're betraying them, or it gets too real.

My latest news article cost me a friend. I got called a "meddling Jew" for criticizing a fellow truther lol. Caught shit for publishing under a pen name too. But, I did get paid 33% more than promised. Got called a Judas too. No one is above scrutiny. I outted a fellow truther. His work is good, but on a personal level, he is a scumbag. He lies, saying that he was in the NSA to gain credibility. He has had 5 wives. He abandoned 2 kids. He emptied a can of pepper spray into one of his wive's face after she told him she was leaving him. He lies to his readers to milk them out of hundreds [sometimes thousands] of dollars each month. He sells them a CD of his piano music for $200 a pop. What a creep.
