    Maybe all you need is a different boss, guessing from an earlier remark you made.

    There is always risk in changing jobs, and more so in changing professions. In the end, you'll do what you must do, and what you need to do (subtle distinction there).

    Yeah,one with a brain. The annoying thing is that during my time I've worked for brilliant man managers, drunkards,cool guys and even a religious nut but this one is by far the biggest challenge. He's a bully boy who doesn't like it when I stand my ground but I've seen what he has done to other people and I'm not prepared to go to an early grave because of this idiot.

    I suppose my problem stems from the fact that I used to be the manager of an extremely successful sales operation and everything we achieved was down to the fact that I made sure I knew what made everyone tick and we sank or swam together. We were a team in every sense of the word. This guy is more a divide and conquer merchant and he is so stupid that he doesn't realise that every member of the team is totally demotivated. I have to say that the only reason I work is to pay the bills and pay for my annual holidays. So instead of rising to his bait I just treat him with the contempt he deserves.Rant over:D

    New thing: I have a job! I'll be working in the employee retail store for The Home Shopping Network. It's going to be really sweet.

    Lenient dress code. No Sundays. Flexible hours. Paid days off after 90 days. They work around my school schedule. It's for HSN employees only, so I won't have to deal with the general public. And I get really sweet discounts. We're talking, like, I can get a $200 suede jacket for $30.

    It's my dream job.

    I have a bachelor's degree and a gold medal in journalism and communication but am changing over to animation, my true love.

    Besides I'm too shy to be a good journalist anyway...

    I have had ear infections since I was six years old.

    I thought i was over them, but I have one right now, so guess I'm not.

    Lol I've never had Southern Comfort, I've only had Scotish Wisky... I must try it some time.

    And I, strangly, really like strong drinks, the stronger the better for me. :D

    I'm not much of a Wine drinker... but Cider is nice, aparently I have the 'Cider Drinkers' look and I like the taste of apples, so all is well. :D
    I mostly drink Gin though.

    Lovely stuff :)

    Something new

    I am virtually teetotal. That is why I look so young healthy and handsome. I am often mistaken for George Clooney(or his younger brother)

    Something else new

    I have a fantastic imagination:D
