Alas, such is life

(insert pink-cheeked smiley here) Rguy, it is difficult to make me blush, but you, dear friend have succeeded at that. Your friendship, thoughts and prayers are appreciated more than you can know. You'll be pleased to know that I'm currently in week 6 of a 16 week semester and holding 3 A's and a B atm. Yes, my time here is scarce, but I'm hoping to have more time here this evening after I get my errands done. Thanks for popping by (3 weeks ago! OY!), even finding this note late has still managed to make my day...and you, sir, are the one that ROCKS!!!

Hey Lilly, great to see you too, and I thank you for stopping by. Things have been really hectic, but now that I'm getting used to getting up when I used to go to bed, I think I might be capable of spending a bit more time here...probably never like before, but I like it here. Take care & don't work too hard.

Hiya Wolfie! Thanks for reminding me that the hottie corners need updating. As always, your support means a lot to me. I hope to enjoy at least an hour here today before running off to get ready for work at the Barrel for a whole 5 hours (rolling eyes). Yes, drooling is all that can be done at this point. I doubt I'll be finding one of those bods in my lap anytime soon, lol. Ciao4now, Shannon

Hi Melanie! Thanks for the support, and you're right. There's not much more important than a good education. I'm thinking of continuing my education for years to come, so my brain doesn't starve, lol. Sorry it took so long to come back. I got surprised with overtime last week, but that's not a bad thing since I still got all my assignments in a day early...most of them are due at midnight night Sundays, except the Excel class, those are due midnight Fridays. Since I still serve on Sunday evenings, I wanted it all done yesterday so I wouldn't feel rushed to get it done before my shift. Please feel free to use my experience when stressing college to your kids. I went at their age, and thought I could take a year off. A lot can happen in a year. It took me nearly 14 years to go back, and after 10 years, all non-degreed credits are moot and those classes have to be taken over if they are not the "test-out" type of class (ie, English, Math and Typing). So, if a break is necessary, at least encourage them to finish with an associates so all that work doesn't have to be redone. Take care & I'll try to be around a little more when it's not "crunch time" at the office.

Hi Steph! I remember you, we did some talking about business last summer, I believe. Only one of those sites didn't work for me, so I'm a happy camper, lol...and it may have worked if I had been able to get signups. Glad you're back at the lot. I'm only here for about an hour today then off to work I go. Supposed to be off tomorrow. Hoping I can squeeze some more time in here after homework. Take care & keep in touch, Shannon

Hi Terry! Great to see you again, it's been forever. I'm sorry about the loss of your home computer, btw. Thank you for taking time to pop in and support me. This is going to be one tough semester, thankfully, all classes are online, so that will be an enormous help not having to attend face-to-face classes 4-6 times per week. Lately, I've been doing most of my myLotting from work too...the girl I replaced got MySpace blocked, so I only deal with myLot on lunch hours or if I have a few minutes before clocking in (which is rare). Maybe we can meet here at lunch sometime and catch up one each other's lives. Take care & don't work too hard, Shannon

Problems been sorted now, it all boiled down to some chinese company trying to get in my bank account, then tried at least 27 times that showed up on my bank balance, small amounts of cash being deposited and took out, it was shite chunk sick making mess that had me on the phone worrying whether I had any money left at the end of it all, but I managed. If I could find the source of the problem I will shite on the f..kers from a great height and poo on the floor in disgust!!

Holy cow, Wayne! You can't just say that and leave me hangin', bro. Wtf is going on????????????????????????????????????? Here, have some second-hand cancer stick....

Before you defecate on their heads, please allow me to smack them around a little so there are some abrasions for the poop to soak into and infect...mean, ain't i...but, they have it coming.
