Whiners...

People frustrate me so much sometimes. I wish I could have a job in an office all by myself where I'd never have to hear any more fucking sob stories... I've been listening to (& reading things) from people all day whining about how broke they are, how they can't get assistance for one reason or another... but the one thing that will get them money seems completely out of the question. I feel like screaming at the top of my lungs (or typing w/the CAPS lock on...) "GET A FUCKING JOB!!! GO TO WORK!!! EARN SOME DAMN MONEY ON YOUR OWN!!!" Almost (with a few exceptions) everyone I know has 2 or 3 jobs, and yes, we all whine, too. We've decided to sacrifice our time and energy to pay our bills on our own without help from anyone. I've come to the conclusion that I prefer hearing whining about not having any time because someone's working than to hear someone who's not working whine about never having any money. For the first time in a long time, I'm actually able to stay even w/our expenses, and it feels really damned good. No money coming in from the inlaws & I'm paying more for rent now than I was when we lived in the apartment. Yes, I'm working 2 jobs & losing sleep, but the lights are on, the car's insured, and I can sit here & type away w/out thinking about whether or not Yahoo will get paid this month. I can see my way clear for the first time in 10 years, and it's a good feeling.

Figured out that the kind of pasta I like is called 'tortellini'. Probably gonna dish some up tomorrow for me & the other half, but I have to figure out a decent alfredo sauce for myself because I don't want Ragu on mine.

After a week of having to handwrite all my HN reports, they finally refilled the damned printer cartridge. Thank all the Gods!!!
