  1. That's my plan. Try to find an awesome landlord who will let me decorate or re-arrange an apartment/house as I please, and let him deal with all of the headaches.

    I've dodged the marriage and kids bullet.

    I think I can handle the mortgage thing.

    You're already at least $250,000 ahead. Well done, ol' sport.

    But who says that? I always hear people say it the wrong way. Similar to the incorrect use of the word "myriad", which really grinds my gears.

    I love a woman who punctuates feistily.

    You'll have to forgive my adverbial transgressions.

  13. The project that I and three of my classmates have been working on is being scrapped for the year due to an inability to run our second test. This is due to an inadequate piece of equipment.

    Now, for my capstone project for my years in this program, I have to go up in front of my peers and tell them that we have no usable data to present.

    Fuck all.

    At first I was a bit doubtful, but now I honestly don't think I'll get a single day off in April. The best I can do is minimize the number of evenings I have to work.

    Having a night off is now really feeling like having the day off.

    Because December and January were so lean.

    I used to make about as much as a recent college graduate. Now I make about as much as a freelancing recent college graduate.

    I also live in the "New York City" of Canada.

    Or is it LA? Chicago? I can't remember.

    Anyway, I should have gotten into the trades like my father.
     
  17. One step forward, two giant leaps back. Why do people lie to me and think I'm stupid?

    Jesus Christ, when it rains it pours. I need to get my degree so I can get out of this goddamn town.

    I assume dollars. And the "how" probably has to do with car repairs.

    That, or buying books.
