Holy crap, it's been a while...
Uh… like 2 1/2 years. Sorry. So, gonna keep it short. I still drive limos, but it’s a different company, and I’ve been with them for over 2 years. I’m still doing eBay. I have this great psych d...
Wow, still employed...
Remember last entry, when i said my biggest tip was $70? Well, then it was beaten by $90. That held for a while until I had a corporate trip. I drove a van with 11 people in it to their holiday p...
New job! Taking bets on how long it will last...
I’m not known for longevity when it comes to jobs. So far this year, I’ve already had 3 jobs… BC Tire. Think I started there last July. Got fired in January for BS reasons. Aptive Environmental....
New car, new job
I’m about to take on a car payment. We already pay $400 a month for my wife’s car (used 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan). I’m currently driving a 1993 Mercury Tracer station wagon (think Ford Escort), t...
I don't write much, but when I do...
… it’s a guaranteed shitstorm. Of epic proportions. OK, so last entry was April 10th. I made it to 80 days on the all-meat diet, then caved. I lost 30 pounds. Of which I’ve gained back about 20 s...
Day 46
No, wait. 47. Last time I wrote an entry, I was on day 23 of a zero carb diet. As of today, I’m on day 47. Mood is much more stable. Couldn’t find my keys the other morning. I didn’t flip out lik...
Quick Update
I looked at my last entry… last July! Yeah, I don’t write as nearly often as I should. So, at that time, I was on a Zero Carb “diet”… and I went on to last 23 days. Then I ate a fresh Jersey peac...
I finally did it!
I went Zero Carb! I am 5 days in. I had a couple of false starts, but I started on Thursday and have been successful ever since. I did have about a half inch bite of a french fry and actually did...
Quick! I need $6,000!
Here’s the deal… our house is under foreclosure and has been for over a year. Our previous sale date was June 19, but has been moved to July 24th. We applied for and were approved for the NJ Hard...
"What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger"...
That’s a load of crap. It’s more like.. it just kills you slowly. My job took its toll on me. Right now I’m on a leave of absence for 7 days. I ended up with an upper respiratory infection. I’m s...
I am an Amazonian... Hear me roar!
Or something like that. Survived my first week at Amazon… sort of. Worked Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. By Thursday I was exhausted and everything hurt, so I called out. Paid time. Worked last nigh...
Are you f***ing kidding me?
Just spent the most part of an hour typing an entry. Went to save it. Working off a mobile hotspot, because we got rid of cable. Didn’t save and LOST THE WHOLE FREAKING ENTRY. Not typing all that...
Procrastination is my greatest talent
OK, maybe not, but it’s up there. Still haven’t started ZC. It’s so easy to make excuses! Like, I have a research panel tomorrow. We have this market research place near us. There’s only two of t...
Extreme Diets
So… I’ve been on nearly every kind of diet and “lifestyle” in my life… vegetarianism, veganism, raw vegan, pescatarian, Atkins, Paleo, Primal, SAD (Standard American Diet), LCHF (Low Carb High Fa...
You can't make this stuff up...
True story. We were eating dinner a few nights ago, and my girls said something about mommy getting a ticket. Yes, Mommy got pulled over for speeding. 80 in a 65. Fortunately, she didn’t actuall...
Happy Anniversary... not
Yesterday was my 11th wedding anniversary. And to that, I say.. BFD. Last year, I got my wife something really nice for our 10th.. and what did she get me? Nada. Her excuse? “Oh, I didn’t think i...
FAIL
Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Let’s just say my first day didn’t go well. Boss lets me go via TEXT. Anyone else think this is tacky? They average 30-40 listings per day. I did 16, but hey,...
When you least expect it, expect it!
OK… what’s that saying… God closes a door, but He opens a window? And, also, “Everything happens (or doesn’t happen) for a reason.” I’ve been seeking full-time employment for a while now. I recen...
My week is off to a good start...
I am trying to be more positive instead of negative. But besides that.. I have a weird hobby.. I have been doing this since I was a kid. I like to go trash-picking. Scavenging, whatever you want ...
Betrayed...
I feel betrayed. I have a day job, have been there for over a year, started around early November 2014. When I was hired, boss said “off the books”… I said fine. All of a sudden, a few days ago, ...
Just a quick note to let you all know...
I’m still here. Alive and well, for the most part. Thank you for the notes. They mean a lot. I’ve thought about things, and decided this: Sometimes life throws you a punch, or more, and it knock...
Never thought I'd say this...
But suicide is looking like a better and better option every day.
Can't lose for winnin'
Or however that goes. So, I have two jobs now.* First is the one I’ve been at for over a year, shipping packages. It’s local, super flexible hours, and my boss is a pretty nice guy except for one...
You know things are looking up when....
… you find a winning lottery ticket on the ground. Here in NJ, the state lottery has a program.. the second chance. You enter losing lottery tickets.. every $10 worth of tickets gets you 1 entry....
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
I had an okay birthday. Wife got me a $50 Amazon gift card. Kids made me cards. We went out to Friendly’s for my birthday dinner. I pigged out on a tuna melt, clam chowder, sliders, AND a medium ...
