had to babysit the dog again last night as well
hopefully she'll be able to get the dog into The Bridge's kennel tonight
realized that the fact that i don't know any of the last names of anyone named Lisa is not actually problematic because none of them know each other
i'll be able to move into my new apt the day after thanksgiving
will be sleeping indoors for the month of December
woo-hoo
maybe KafkaX could come over to my new apt for like a house warming party or something

Hello there
Considering ending my "college career" after this semester and just pay shit off and then save a ton of money and open up my own shop with my bro which is the plan anyway.

Best of luck with your business if that's where destiny leads.

What type of shop do you wanna open up?
Having my own sandwich shop is one of my (and lets face it, every fucking dude's) dreams.

Hello there
Motorsports engineering is the program I'm in. I was all pumped when I first joined, and so far I've met a lot of cool people in the motorsports industry. I mean shit, I had a teacher last semester who worked for pretty much all the big names in Indycar, owned his own Indy Lites team, and brought in all kinds of drivers and big wigs in the industry. And this semester was kind of the same thing, quite a few drivers and other big wigs, and my current teacher is the marketing director for the Indianapolis Motorsports Speedway, which is Indycar's HQ. While these are motivating experiences to keep me striving for the degree, but anytime someone from the industry speaks about job prospects in motorsports it's always depressing. They often say how awesome it is to do what they do, but you have to be willing to work for nothing or peanuts to get your foot in the door, which is nearly impossible in itself, and how once you're in you can seemingly never get out, this and that. It's all really depressing shit and makes me not want to deal with any of that bullshit. I will not work for free, I don't care how cool the job is. I will not be someone's bitch or slave, I've already done that in my life. I will not sacrifice personal beliefs or morals just to please someone else. There's too much self-sacrifice involved in this whole industry just because of the cool factor, which is indeed high, but can still eat my asshole.
As for my ideas for a shop, the core business will be auto-body repair and customization. I'd rather not have to deal with insurance claims and whatnot, but that's a pretty steady business so I might get into that anyway. I already have a business plan laid out pretty much, a clear vision and goal for the company, etc etc etc, it's all there. The only thing holding me back is money and location. I'm not setting up shop in Indiana, fuck that noise, and I don't have the money because I'm in school. So I'm think I'm just going to get a full-time job, pay off all of my debts, as is my brother, save a TON of cash, get our credit in fantastic standing, and make the move.

Sounds a lot like what it takes to become an NFL referee. Years of your life calling high school football games, and if you're lucky, college.
But consider how that degree will look on a resume even if you don't take it to the ground floor right away. Might be worth having as insurance as you brave the waters of private enterprise, even if it means getting work at other garages. Will be easier than bailing now then having to start up again later. You never know what opportunities may come your way.

she's got the dog assigned to a specific kennel space, where no other dog can use that space, but they still won't let her bring the dog in,
so the dog had to sleep next to me last night and ate several pages out of the center of my bookhttp://www.thehungryreader.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/flunkedcover.jpg
one of the women named lisa noticed that my phone's memory card is full of porn, which she disaproves of, she thinks porn is wrong because she thinks jacking-off should be unneccassarry, she tinks that i should be actually having sex instead of looking at porn

Just got back from work. I never fully noticed this before, but holy fuck, body language talks. I tend to suck in social situations, and I initially thought it was because of some stupid vendetta "normal" people have against me. But I think it's actually that I just convey all kinds of negative.
I sit with my arms crossed, conveying vulnerability, my face tends to look like a mix of sad and serious, and my contributions to conversations are usually rants about how a certain thing is wrong or ridiculous.
It's so awesome to see the contrast with the customers. A few changes in how I position my body and face and how I speak and I cast a fucking spell of excitement on people.
Now I just have to use this outside of work.
