Well that empty gumball machine certainly isn't going to be lifting your spirits! Couldn't you put some Halloween candy in that thing?


Edit: Also note, the first photo ever of glatt on the Cellar where he isn't grinning.

I used to have candy in there, but then people would come hang out in my office.

Go away!

That'll show 'em!

Of course, now we eastern time zone types can have our beer or glass of wine. TGIF. Truly.

I was scroling down the BTYahoo homepage and caught sight of the daily horoscope. This is what it says:

Quote:
You have a tendency to put a damper on festive events. It bothers you to see people having fun when we live in such a troubled world. Try to ease up and relax. Life can be very difficult, which is why it's important to celebrate the sweeter moments. By abandoning yourself to fun, you'll feel your mood start to lift. Unexpectedly, problems that seemed insurmountable will seem relatively painless. Good news about money will come as a relief.
(Bold mine)

If I was a Scorpio and I believed in horoscopes, I'd be a bit insulted by that.

Sounds all new agey and shit to me. Isn't that what horror scopes are in the main stream?

I assume so. I seldom take any notice. I just thought that was a nasty thing to say to people :p

Some are great, some not so much.

I especially like those that come right after a Sunday.

Probably depends where you are. Or, more accurately, who you are. Or, more accurately, whose ass you suck.

On top of everything else, she's fucking with my sick/vacation time.

No, I will not take it without pay when I have 215 vacation hours WE NEVER HAVE TIME TO USE and I will get my FMLA paperwork to my doc tomorrow and they can bite me.

Meanwhile, I'll watch and listen to everyone milling around chatting and having a goddam social event every other hour.

When my back spasmed on the interstate this morning, I should have just let go...let go of the wheel and see what happens. Because I really don't care anymore. About anything.

I am sorry for all your pain, and wish I could do something.
Maybe one of my favorite posters will help a tiny bit.

Hang on to whatever you can...

Thanks, Lamp. You're so kind.

I don't ever give up, really I don't. But sometimes I think I could. Just let go, you know? What is it all for, anyway? I have no posterity. I don't have any lasting contributions to this society.

Ah well, I'm in more pain today than I expected and I'm sure that colors my outlook.

It's really sick...that I think about if I needed surgery and how someone would have to take care of me. I never want anyone to have to take care of me. But the idea of recuperating and people bringing me food and making me comfortable...and, you know, caring? Yeah, that's pretty sick.

I think my dad is the only person close to me who has implied that if I'm miserable, this job isn't worth it. Everyone else is like deer in headlights...watching to see me screw everything up. Well, keep watching, folks. I'm sure there will be another showing any day now.

I'm sorry, guys. I just don't know who to talk to.

I'm sorry to hear everything you're going through...work and back pain. Your dad sounds like an intelligent person. Perhaps all the stress in your job is causing you physical illness. Anyways, I wish you well. And post away whenever you need an outlet. I'm sure many of us don't mind. (Some of us may not post replies, but we listen to your pain. )
