You take your god damn logic elsewhere, sir. It is not welcome here.

Edit: And I have to go back to work tomorrow. Another eight day workweek, here I come (at least I get six days off afterwards).

Greyhound cancelled one of its bussing times, it's the usual one I take because most of the trip is during the dark/early morning and I can sleep and it gets me there around 3pm so I'm not so groggy. I now have to take one primarily in the day, which is a very boring 11 hour ride.

Life is not fair but you learn to get used to it. It's good that you recognize your problems but now you need to realize that you are also the only person who can do anything about them. "For it is within you, that both your destruction and deliverance lie...." Your parents will not be able to support you forever. I'm graduating in 3 months and although I'm excited about my career the thing that excites me most is that I will be mostly independent and can stop bumming off my folks after 2+ decades of unconditional love.

I actually came to this thread to rant about the ineffective nature of career fairs. I attended one yesterday and although it was stupid and awful in ways I can't even explain I now have an excellent opportunity lined up and another 3 interviews pending. I'll have you know it didn't come easy though. I spent the three days before that completely dedicated to working on my resume. I spent most of that time learning to use LaTeX (a document markup language) to style everything exactly the way I wanted it to look and give myself a little extra edge. (although the majority of HR recruiters would not even recognize the effort) My resume is a product of several thousand revisions and sustained continuous effort over a number of years.

Really what you need to do is get your priorities straight (detach yourself from Lusternia), get out there and make a real effort to change your life. You might not find work for in your first day, week, or even month of job hunting. But if you're making a real effort you WILL find something. It's not going to be a nice cushy job but it is not above anyone to work in construction, sweep the floor, bag groceries, or shovel snow. After doing hard labour for several months, you'll realize that your "career" is a dead-end, school is a piece of cake and you'll make the effort to upgrade. (If you can maybe skip this step)

If you don't know how to drive, you can learn. If you don't have a vehicle, you can borrow one from a friend, rent a vehicle for a weekend. Worst case scenario is you walk or bike.

An anecdote. I was looking for work in the summer of last year in the thick of the recession. I could have said "hey, this is hopeless. I have very few working connections, my peers and friends are all struggling to find work because we're competing against of influx of people have recently been laid off and have several years of experience under their belt. This is a big waste of time" I didn't though and after three months of fruitless searching, an opportunity fell into my lap at a time when I least expected it (at a entrepreneur meetup where I went to see the presentations, not find work) and I ended up being hired as an iPhone developer which paid extremely well. Since I wrote my app every few weeks I still get an offer for contract work but I have to decline since I have other career aspirations.

Better anecodote. Matt Mihaly's father (The father of the CEO of IRE) was captured as a Prisoner of War. He escaped and literally threw rocks to dentonate landmines before safely crossing the American border. Then in his mid-20's or early 30's he was accepted into Cornell, managed to become a professor or start a successful business (maybe both?) and retired to live a comfortable life in some ridiculously large acreage. Some of his tenacity must have rubbed off onto his son because Matt also had his share of hardships and struggled for several years before he was able to do what some would argue is impossible and create a successful company built around commercial muds.

I'll be the first to say that I am not very smart. (If I was, work would just come to me like it has to some of my friends) Anything I can do, someone else could do better. However I work very hard and if you maintain continuous and sustained effort, someone will eventually notice and you can make significant changes.

If you need to relate it back to Lusternia, Desitrus would say 'Do work!', AllergicToSabres would suggest that you toughen up and stop complaining. Speaking of which I should probably do some work and get back to reading my book.

School canceled all classes after 1PM because of the snowstorm. My last class ends at 1PM. ):

Story of my life. No classes Monday and Friday. Three-four day weekends have been wasted on me this entire quarter.

You are my new favorite forum goer.

Ladies and gentlemen, this man is spot on.

One minor detail if I may add. Not being 'very smart' is neither an excuse nor a deficiency. Some of the most intelligent people will not reach success or complete their projects because they don't have the discipline and lose the will to keep working. If you stop working towards something, or your morale breaks you have failed. A disciplined consistent individual of average or lesser intelligence will eventually outpace you.

Studies of entrepreneurs (I'm not going to cite them here) show that most of them are only average intelligence. They are however more active and vigorous than than the average, pushing themselves harder, and willing to take on risk. Having the balls to take risk is a key point.

Quoted for truth, ignored in favor of self-pity and the ultimately stifling, self-destructive ease that is drifting in and out of nihilism.

Dissatisfaction: depression.

This limeade is less than optimal.

Depression.

Packing crap for a 1000 km move in the next week and a half and realising that half the crap I packed I need still... and it's at the bottom of everything packed.

Someone on my floor got arrested for drug possession during my first aetherhunt. I thought I'd qq'd when they brought me out to talk to.
I didn't.
What a wonderful first impression to one of Seren's only pilots. >:(

Honestly I didn't even notice you'd left. Our aetherhunts usually aren't that talkative and I can't tell who's siphoning, so you could have sat there the whole time and I probably wouldn't have noticed.

Oh. I feel marginally better, then.
Main point of dissatisfaction was the druggies on my floor. >:/

Finally got the bruised blood out of the muscles of my left hand, so now I can actually feel things.

Then I had the brilliant idea of just pushing myself up off the floor on the same hand x_x

Felt unmotivated and terrible the past couple days. Tried to talk to someone I care about about it and just got told to "suck it up". Reverted to my sleep schedule of being awake all night and asleep all day in order to avoid my family. Been stressing because I have no idea what I'm doing with my life or what I even want to do. And I just smashed my leg into the edge of the desk because I was too busy moping around to pay attention to where the hell I was walking. I am a champion.

Dear NBC:

There are other athletes in the World that aren't American. There are more athletes (and more of that, *gasp*, Drama, that you thrive on) than simply the top 5. Stop being egotistical and time-saving, and show the whole darn event, not just the top 5, + Americans.

(This is what I get from growing up on Canadian TV during olympics...)

I'm the only single person at my workplace and I have Sunday off. Happy it's a day off, but like... I have nothing better to do than chores and cook and run errands. Stupid romantic holiday.

Go to bar and pick up dudes/suitable ladies for one night stand?
