im sorry, but before brunch on saturdays, im sending a "stand in" guest host.
this shows ability to delegate, and good management skills. thus bringing good offers, many of wich you sneer at, increasing your value and choices.
its the type of stuff you go to college for.

anne halonium said: geeze , when i was in college, i fell over baked at 4 Am. woke up at 7:45 AM, 15 minit cross city rollerblade race to NYU, while smoking a doob , grab someones notes and rehash 8:00-8:05, take the test , and then look for someplace to drink green apple martinis, more doobs on the parking deck/ brunch with the fashion girls at 11: AM.
and yes, you can get martinis at 9:am.
if ya do it right, by 9:30 AM, youve completely forgot what the test was about.
3.4 avg. and it prepared me for the excellent work ethic i have today.
I'm nearly 30, my gut won't handle the morning grog anymore. Makes me get the shits and feel like bloated crap all day.
I just study and smoke weed, 4.0GPA until this semester. Gotta retake a chem class, got my first A-.... fuckballs.

Hmm, turning down a job for sleep. Sounds like you're scrapin' by on min-wage jobs. I don't blame you for turning it down since the income increase is probably a few hundred a year total, but remember, beggars can't be choosers, so in a few months if you make a post bitching about being poor, we're all gonna laugh at you.
Christ I get up at 4:00am to study for tests.
The job I jabe now is not bad at all- but it is pretty random - it is more than minimum wage - it actually pays more per hour than the new job would have although overall that job would have had a bigger salary. The job I have new tho is pretty random it has to do with listing stuff online so it goes by when the company has stuff to put on so sometimea a few days I might not do much and other times they might have 60 stuff for me to put on and I could make money that way. What I like about it though is that I can do it any time of the day pretty much.
I realize in a way I should have taken the job offer but I don't feel it is good for my health right now - I tried two days in a row and being up at 7:30 am was brutal. I have a hard time getting to sleep so that kind of hour is hard for me.

I was gonna turn down the second term, but I felt so well loved by my constituents that I obliged them with 4 more years.

Haven't and wouldn't. I'd do the worst things imaginable for 50k a year - my circumstances are rare though.

Well if you're doing well and the situation isn't much different from what you've got going, don't sweat it. Things come and go, if the risk and weight is worth it, go for it, but if you're already doing well, why compromise?

Yeah. I don't have a salary type of deal right now - but I'm making enough to invest in projects and get by, without having to go crazy about it really. I also have and appreciate an open schedule type deal and who knows what else may come and go too.

Anne, may you grace this great nation with links to your XXX films? Also, have you ever experienced "Jungle Fever?" If so, have you turned back?

After strained deliberations, I've concluded that you're all used up and worn out. I can't justify spending tax money on such a poor investment. My apologies.

ah, i just noticed 17 posts. your one of the topia socks.....

could be wrong, but doubt it. i know most of the " in house " socks here already.
you insult differently , and less professionally than the standard here, and have that " other forum " vibe.
could be just a snarly troll outta the box. usually they need 100 or more posts to hate me.

Fuck man I'm a felon and the last place that hired me fired me while I was waiting to start training cause of company policy about felonies. I get like 1 call back for every 30 applications. So no I have never turned down a fucking job.
