Heh.

You'll make me blush.

A job is NOT the measure of a man, though. No matter what conditioning we've been given over the years.

Imric's Tips for Living

Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

Re: Heh.

You have to live. You have to either be able to do it yourself or get others to do it for you. I'm one of the few people who can't do either. I've never in my entire life been able to solve the employment problem. Growing up I never thought about it - I just assumed I would be a scientist at some university. When university life was hijacked by morons that chance was lost. So I had to find something else - I found this - and this also got hijacked by morons. (There apparently is a never-ending supply of morons. Anything I've ever loved, morons have ruined.) I never wanted to do anything other than make enough money to live and continue my work in private. Even that simple task is beyond me. I can't figure out how to live a stable existence, and by now I'm getting sick of trying and long for it to end. Or at least to get 8 hours of sleep, all at once. God I need drugs.

A-men.

I know it's hard. I know it's depressing. All I can offer is my 'tips for living' in my sig. Especially the right-hand part... And a wish for you to get some sleep. I've had major sleep problems, too. When I was doing the graveyard shift for Macy's, I used to sleep in in a walk-in closet for quiet and dark. When I had REALLY bad insomnia in the early '90s (went for over a week without any sleep at all - problems with work - I was almost hallucinating at the end) I got over it with - get this - vitamins and warm milk. Prescribed by a doctor, yet. Don't laugh, it worked...
