Update for Everyone V: Born Under A Bad Sign

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

My boss told me there is a good chance he might be closing his doors of his business and told all of us today to probably start looking for another job soon. He said the last two months he's been in the negative when it comes to profits.

TBH the place sounds like a dump from what you've related to us. You'll be back to work with a Trump job soon. If you give him a second term we'll both even receive forty acres and a mule.

Heh, being a mod is one giant temptation. Every time you see a stupid post, you just want to click a "delete" button, but alas...

I was on AH.com the other day and somehow realized I'd been given moderator powers. I could delete posts and lock threads. I didn't touch a thing and when I refreshed the page a few minutes later it was gone before I could notify Fuhrer Ian.

Enjoy the stay!

I'm watching CSPAN

C-SPAN is my favorite channel. The call-in programs are the best.

My left ear has become numb. I only hear about 50% of the right ear.

Probably check the doctor tomorrow if it doesn't go away. I think I had this once but it went away overnight. I guess there's an enormous amount of earwax in it that's clogging it, which I cannot get rid of because it's too deep in the ear.

Don't use Q-tips. Try running hot water down your ears in the shower.

I didn't.

I went to the doc today and he removed all the ear-wax from inside, by pumping high-speed warm water into my ears. You guys don't even know what amount of ear-wax can be inside the ears ...

Now my ears are fine again.

I'm having that exact same problem as of late. I've been there before too, and it's gross.

I saw a guy at the grocery store that looked exactly like Steve Bannon.  He was hoarding Trix and looking creepy.  Scooted my way into another aisle.

My high school Christian Leadership/American Government teacher's husband looks kinda Steve Bannon. Cool dude, though. His wife and him asked me to speak at a city council meeting along with a few other students over something that involved the school.

I haven't shown up to work in 2 days...I've got like 10 voicemails

Makes sense given your posting history.

My 21st  is on Friday but the liquor store across the street is shut down for a week.

Tomorrow? (I guess we were born less than a week apart)

Saturday, actually.

I've spent the last five minutes at the bus stop watching a socialist protester at the Wells Fargo across the street dancing on a statue. A bus pulls up for a few seconds, and when it leaves, she has vanished, nowhere to be seen. Have socialists developed a means of teleportation, or was she just raptured?

Bummer... is that a Florida Temperance Movement thing, or are you just living in a small county, with one liquor store under renovation?

Happy B-Day BTW!!!

No, I live in Tallahassee but there's only one good liquor store near me that happens to be just feet away. They ironically got shut down for the week because they sold to minors.

I just saw my friend's wedding photo in clickbait.

I have to sell advertisements door-to-door for a school project. It's genuinely depressing work.

I once left an internship with the MI GOP due to the fact that they wanted me to get petitions signed.

Been there done that.

Still sick, but the anti-biotics are helping.

Signed up for a considerably cheaper and nicer apartment today. I want out of my current lease so bad.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I finished law school. Yay.

Awesome! You're what my Uncle would call "bonafide" now!

Also congratulations Cathcon of course!

I met Adam Putnam this morning. Nice enough guy (then again, the only dick politician I've ever met was Lindsey Graham), gave a good speech, made sure to take pictures with everyone. I put one up on FB.

A friend of my brother whom I also knew died from an overdose. "Grey Death" heroin caused 25 ODs and wiped out my entire town's supply of narcan. My brother almost OD'ed in December, and he five months clean now. I can't help but feel sick to my stomach though. It could have easily been him.

I graduated from law school today. I'm one step (the bar exam) and an avatar change away from being a bonafide blue avatar lawyer.

How long do you want to lawyer until the RPOF scalps you for a State Representative seat?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I'm now the proud father of a baby girl.

Awesomesauce!

A second person I knew through my brother has died from an overdose. Two in one week. Jesus Christ.

I'm sorry.

There is a batch of really deadly heroin going around South Florida right now. There has been so much death here that I'm starting to get depressed. Had my brother not gotten clean in January, he'd have been dead too. There is no doubt in my mind that Nick would have taken the same stuff as his friends. We could have been planning a funeral right now. It's really bothering me. Thank God he's clean (and I think this time for good!)

Call Herman Cain and get his recipe.

Ramadan starts tomorrow, working at a restaurant during Ramadan really tests you sometimes, this year it is now May 27th to potentially June 24th this year. Summer Ramadans suck.

Ouch (Working in the restaurant bit).... being in Florida probably makes it harder than in Northern States because this time of year, daylight lasts way too long down there. I was only living in Texas, but I'm sure South Florida is even worse, since it is closer to the equator.

Why "Potentially" June 24th this year?

I mean don't the calendar conversion programs allow you to know exactly when it ends where you are living based upon the time of sunset, even you are not associated with a local community center?

High of 94 in Palm Beach County today. Awful. I'm ready to go back to Tally as soon as possible, but I have exactly a month to go before Summer C starts. Ugh.

Ramadan Kareem, #TheShadowyAbyss.

Ramadan don ding ding dong.

(Happy Ramadan though, in all seriousness - good luck with the heat too)
