So many of your who scored a mere 60% and I rank as a 100% nameless guest figure? Is that ever good for my ego...

Ego, what ego?

My student loan payments kick in as of November 1. In other words, I will be reminded at least once a month for ten years that I failed out of grad school. This will trouble my advisor (who I hope is happy) and #2 (who maybe can have nice days) not a whit and will not even occur to #3 and #4 so may they die in - well, may they at least be miserable, though it won't happen as they are well insulated.

Target is hiring seasonable employees. #2 and advisor would be horrified that the idea of making $7/hour is appealing, but neither would they offer to help with the bills. I am qualified to do much, but paid to do little.

Sorry so morose - positive thoughts later.

Well, I might suggest that 100student NOT freelance as a proof reader as a way of organiZing his financials.

I would offer you a job at $8/hour in my theater's box office if you weren't so far away! Flexible hours, a fun industry and great co-workers.

I never thought of you as failing out of grad school. That is just so wrong. It's not like you couldn't perform on exams and had a GPA below 70. THAT is failing out of law school! Now I am even more annoyed at this committee of yours. May #3 and #4 be plagued with termites in their home or run out of gas on a long vacation in the middle of nowhere without a cell signal.

I myself, being a poor non-profit manager, have gotten my payments reduced. I will be paying for failing out of law school forEver!

Here's hoping that Numbers Three and Four are each outside doing some yard work when they unknowingly handle some poison ivy, getting the plant oils on their fingertips. Then, may they go inside for a nice leisurely bathroom break, during which they sit on the porcelain throne and absentmindedly scratch their privates, thus spreading those plant oils to where they'll do the most good.

Hey, I've done it, and I've never (I hope) mistreated lemming. So Three and Four should do it several times over.
