'Tis okay. It would just be nice if you visted a little bit more often, that's all. Seeing you leave posts here once or twice a month might help spruce up the place.

I must confess to lurking here occasionally. But very occasionally. I did find the link to the new FMB here. But I don't intend to actually post there either. I just had to sign up to be able to read. (I like getting the news about all those bands in one place.) Anyway, school got really crazy for me, and I had no time for message boards, etc., and was really unhappy in general, so I bailed on the grad school thing after a year. But of course now, I'm trying to find a job, and it's not going so well (still in consideration at one place *fingers crossed*), and not a week after I left Texas, I got really sick. I've been sick off and on since then. I had to take a trip overseas to fulfill my final responsibility for school, but I ended up having to go to the hospital there the day I was supposed to do it, so that really really sucked. (As did the twenty-eight hours of traveling to get home two days after surgery. )And now my doctor here tells me I'm "interesting", which is not so good coming from doctors. So sorry for unloading on you all, but I'm really stressed out right now, what with my life sort of tumbling down all around me. I'm sure I can get a job somewhere else--where I've worked before--but moving twice in like three months wasn't really in the plan. Also I've signed a year lease, and paying double rent always sucks. And I just plain don't want to move because I'm living with my sister, whom I love, and I love the house, and I love the city. I would also love air conditioning, but you can't have everything. Anyway, I missed all the drama here, but it makes me sad. I hope Tara finds some peace in this world.

I'm sorry that I'm late in replying to this. I was at my friends' house for the past few days when I first read your post, nyohah. Anyways, I'm so sorry to hear that your life is suddenly spiraling downwards. You seem like a such a smart person and, a year ago, it appeared that you were living a successful life by finishing college and pursuing onwards to grad school. It's too bad that you can't find a job easily. The current economy is horrible, and I haven't had luck finding a job either (and I would proabably be the last to be chosen anyways, since I haven't even finished high school yet). Anyways, it's nice to see you here too and I hope that things will get better for you. I've read all the drama with Tara as well, but I never participated by posting my thoughts on it. I didn't want to seem rude by replying late to an issue that had already been dealt with. However, it looks like things may change soon.

Hey, just wanted to let you guys know everything's going well for me again. I'm still taking care of stupid medical issues (nothing very serious) left over from this summer, but, the big great news, I have a job. Or rather, a career, since as my uncle says, if you have a job, you're just scraping by, but if you have a career, you might have extra cash. I'm still used to living like a college student, but now I'm a software engineer, so I certainly have extra cash. I only make it to about 3:30 every day at work before I start going crazy, but I think that's how it is for everyone. Benefits are great, salary is great, working hours are normal, and I didn't have to move (office is even very close within the city). Everything turned out okay.

With the jobless rate at it's highest in over 20 years.....congrats!

Congrats on the job nyohah! Glad to see that you got a good situation and are enjoying yourself!
I have to say though that your previous post about your masters degree scared me a bit. I was very apprehensive about the amount of work I would have to do during my degree, and how sickness would affect it. Ah, let's just say that it took me a month to start feeling like I had things under control and that once this happened I got sick. Not cool. But *I think* that I'll survive. Well, at least my goal is to hold on for a year and then we'll see.

Regarding graduate school, I think as long as you like it, you'll be fine. But I hated it pretty much from the moment I started. And it's not necessary for my line of work. So it was like I was torturing myself for no gain--I shouldn't have stayed as long as I did. So my advice is just to weigh how much you like/dislike it against how much you think you'll like the job it will get you. If it comes out negative, you should consider trying something else. And don't let other people bully you into staying if you do hate it. You know yourself better than they know you.
