I'm hoping you current emotional state is still not best visualized as a cat butthole.

You are definitely correct about the job. Unfortunately, as a person in a creative field, there really aren't many opportunities for me. As for my parents, I definitely think they're working the same angle as your Dad. My parents also spent much of my childhood carting us around learning specialists trying to figure out what was wrong with us. They have such shitty self esteem it's like they can't believe they managed to create two intelligent children. Though I admit, I'm glad they care too much, rather than not at all.

What have you been up to these days?

You are a brave man. My ten year reunion was this year, but I didn't bother going. My class had no school spirit. We barely even raised money for a prom. So I doubt too many people showed up to the reunion. And I will admit, I have a total chip on my shoulder and given my current financial and career situation I'm feeling too shit to go hear about how all the vapid mean girls are now trophy wives with McMassions in the burbs. Not that it's a life-style I envy, but I'm working my ass off to get ahead and I'm surrounded by people who seem to just have things handed to them. It's starting to make me a tad bitter.

I hadn't noticed the price of electronics had gone up that much Boo.


Glad you have found a new job that makes you happy! While I know very little about you, you seem like a pleasant and hard-working person and it certainly seems like you put in a lot of hours. So I'm glad you're in a better place now!
