Posted by LioConvoy:Life's been a fucked up bag of tricks and treats for me lately. My computer finally shit the bed for good, I'm relegated to using daddy's computer. But I got a new job and am getting the fuck out of Caron's. It's a sales job with Bose. Nothing I'm gonna make a career of, but it's not food service, it has full benefits, and tuition reimbursement if I decide to go back to grad school while I'm there. And finally I totalled my beloved Smurf Rocket. Sure it was an old station wagon... but it had soul... and a smurf sitting on the dashboard. RIP Smurf Rocket.

Sucks about the computer and the car, man. I never even got to see the Smurf Rocket. :( What happened that you totalled it?

On the other hand, it's awesome that you're finally able to leave Caron's. You may not think the sales job is much, but treat it with 150% seriousness and effort, especially if you're getting the benefits and (even better) the tuition reimbursement. And definitely look into grad school. It's really great to hear about the job, man; it sounds like the first step to getting into full swing. Congratulations, Lio!

Calliander, keepin' it fresh since '94.
