I'm reaping what I've sown in my youthful indiscretion. My credit sucks badly. The job I've got is enough to cover rent & bills, but I have a lot of credit card debt to pay off, a few items that have gone to collection companies, and a sizeable levy from the taxman.

I dream of someday owning my own house in this town, but between my credit & the jacked up prices around here, I'm afraid it's going to remain a dream for a couple more years.

The laundry list applies, school, work, women, being poor, health. But nyeh, that's life. Much as I hate blind optimisim and the like, for the moment I've got the TFP back - and that's enough to make it all worthwhile for now.

Yes, a rant and rave thread. Definitely a good thing to stumble upon. 1) Failing my psych class for no reason I can think of. 2) 15 page paper due in a week that I haven't started. 3) Girl is driving me up a wall. Other than that, though, life is...peachy. ::flashes a quick grin::

Bunch of students here. Boy do I envy you guys. Trust me, it gets better (or worse depending on your view point).

I'm trying to figure out how to finance my expanding business. Just paid $10,000 in taxes, tuition is due for the kids in private school, 10 year anniversary is in 4 days, no gift, and I need to pay myself this week but don't know if the funds will be available in the business account.

Meanwhile, I smoke, I drink too much and I'm probably 40 lbs. overweight.

But you know what, I'm with Sixate,

MY BUTT GETS KICKED BY NOTHING!

This lady who tells me she will hire me for what's more or less my dream job, what I've been working for, what I could be happy doing for a long time. I show up at her office to follow up, and she's like "Oh I really want to hire you! Call me in a week!" and that's been going on for a two months. Geeze! If you don't want to hire me, say so! Or better yet, don't lead me on and get my hopes way up if you are full of crap.
I feel so used!

The flu. One child in my home day care got over it a week ago but must have still had a touch. My whole weekend was shot sittting up nights and doing laundry because my almost 3 yr old daughter was sick with the stomach flu. Nasty! I've been feeling nauseated myself but don't know if it's some new meds the Doc gave me last week or that I'm coming down with the flu. The flu SUCKS!

Some evil genius built a McDonald's across the street from my place of business. It smells like fries and burgers from about 11:30 AM on, and it's driving me nuts. I've brought my Ionic Breeze air freshener into my office, but I had a damn BBQ Chipotle Snackwrap today and it was delicious. God damn it. McDonald's, the company I honestly abhor, kicked my butt today. I know better.

2 weeks ago I decided to take the leap, quit my job and figure out how to pull money out of the air (or the wallets of needing clients).
Looking at our bills and what needs to be done to maintain is artfully trying to kick my ass.
But I keep throwing downward blocks and straffing.

I read the title and knew EXACTLY what my answer was....

Microsoft Certification 70-282 Small Business Servers. I'm required to be certified in about 2 months, and really haven't enough time to study, so I'm stressing like whoa. I will lose my position at work if I don't have this certification. =(

Doing my PhD research (with no structure whatsoever, other than what I create for myself... a laughable concept) has been kicking my ass for the last 5+ months. Only because it's so hard for me to care about doing it. I've almost grown callous to it, which would be a very bad thing. Nobody wants a calloused ass, especially when a degree depends on it.
