I'm actually caught-up on my to-do list at work :huh:

That probably means I'm forgetting something.

Tell you what;  come home, take a fucking shower for a change, find a nice little job that pays the bills at the local Barnes & Nobles or something, and take it from there.

Lettow, CdM brings up an interesting point. I know you don't have much money and have unstable living conditions, but are you able to shower and get a clean set of clothes each day? If not, that could be a major roadblock to employment. People judge on first appearances.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I'm guessing a majority of the Languish Athiest Bloc would approve of the Freedom From Religion group's effort here:

Without reading it, yes.  Party discipline is vital.

Just kidding.  The Star of David is a secular symbol, which is why they can be put up on our streetlamps during Christmas along with Santy Claus and angels, but crosses can't.

Jayzus... can I just go home already?? I'm so ready for the weekend!
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

But you chose the path of having a career and making something of your life. The path I'm on has no light at the end of the tunnel.

Why do you feel your life now is a dark tunnel you need to escape? What is going so poorly that you aren't already in a good set of circumstances?
Mediocre pay that will only go down and no room for advancement anywhere.
Why?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
