that's a close second to The Queers.

Because the dulcet tones of paul and linda assure us all that life long togetherness and happiness is possible?

I am have been happy recently in a way that I haven't been for a long time. I feel lots of thankfulness tinged with a faint sense of doom. I think it's because my marriage, my academics, my music, my garden, my physical activity and my boozemaking are keeping me out of trouble.

my job has got me down

i think i don't want to be an architect anymore. (at least one that sits at a desk all day)

my mother in law is also a recovered alcoholic who knows how to use a knife. while i am trying to see if a jazz band can learn nick cave's "into my arms", i'm not crossing that battleaxe for nobody.[/quote]

They say you marry the woman, not her family. Don't believe it for a second.

i've never heard ANYONE say that or anything near it. i've always heard the exact opposite. some people were blowing some smoke up your you-know-where i figure.

I basically just have to hang on until tuesday. I get paid then. I figure with one month's check, I can hold out until I get something else. Got a call about CT-2 just a minute ago. I don't think I can work for my boss a minute longer than I have to. Basically, he is just an asshole. Gives zero advice, and then when things don't go exactly how he wanted, he bitches you out.

I'm in such bad shape I had to make my own rope out of bedsheets.

I lost my rope, but at the time I was at the end of it regarding my poor organizational skills.

to continue dragging out the metaphor...

let's see:

Sumary of the past two weeks:
- 2 week long headache (had to miss work)
- crabby non-understanding boss, asking if "my skills and interests" match up with the job because I apprently looked "overwhelmed" last week.... um... that was because I thought I was going to die from a certain headache.

- computer infested with millions of viruses which took 4 days to get rid of ("CoolWebSearch", "About:blank", etc.).

- home phone line randomly went dead.

Yeah... nearing end of rope...

At least I get to sleep in tomorrow... mmmmm, sleep.
