I'm worried I can't do it; I think it's a normal, healthy fear.
But if I do it, in one year I walk out of here with a year of salary, my loans "taken care of", leading a team of people that work for me that I built.
If I can do it, I will have done something truly great.
As much as I like blind leaps of faith into the pit of despair...
Spoiler Alert! Click to view.
I would need more details before rendering my own judgement on said actions in the event that whatever bizarre set of circumstances occurred prior to this, caused such desperation that it would lead you to seek such council.... as my own.
Typically, I wait and gather as much information as possible. I move with lightning speed but only after I have all the available information. But I wait and listen and hypothesis, it is in my nature to do so, like a consigliere. I like to play devil's advocate.
What are we talking about? Gambling? With money or friendship or loyalties? Is this an investment scheme? What are you risking? Is it something you can afford to loose? But there are a great many variables and if I have to guess them all it will take a considerable amount of time that I don't have....
I got asked if I was ready to go to work full time and put school as a second priority. I would do both at once, only 9-12 credits/term for the last 2 terms. 40-50hr work weeks, 12 credit hours.
And my university, it is *** hard.
It would kill me for a year, but if it works out, my future is golden.
Hmmm...
If I remember correctly, your graduation should be coming around the bend. =D The way I remember it, you had to have a minimum of twelve hours a semester to keep financial aid money flowing. Twelve isn't too bad while working, but I was only working thirty to thirty-five hours while I was in school.
I'm inclined to agree with the others. If you come out clean post-graduation (little to no debt), and you already have a position lined up, you already have an advantage that most newly-grads don't. At least you won't have to throw elbows to get interviews, and God knows how many of your peers will be competing for a position like yours.
But if I do it, in one year I walk out of here with a year of salary, my loans "taken care of", leading a team of people that work for me that I built.
Ran amok with the madre and the bambino this morning. One of our stops was Ikea, and I am proud to announce that I did buy a single thing there! :) Take that, impulsiveness!!!

Is this the one you went to Vegas with last week?
Nope. I was there with another estimator from work.
my other friend & her husband were just there gambling / drinking by coincidence.
Niko stood me up.
you better not if I ever decide to mess with texas!

Fredricksburg!
Itinerary as follows:
1.) Vinyards!
2.) Walk around the town with a wine hangover, and laugh at the absurdity that is chickens and roosters! Those are dinosaur kin, what?!? (Random free-range rooster sightings while hungover is hysterical!)

sounds fantastic!
I have acted like a fool in foriegn locals before, but not with a purple mouth / teeth, it's a plan. :D
O man, my neighbors keep chickens (we're not exactly in the country either, so yes, it's kinda wierd), and the rooster has officially lost it's *** mind. in the last 6 months or so the ***'s been crowing at noon, 6pm, midnght, or whenever it feels the need. It's *** wierd as ***! I was out smoking in the absolute silence and dark that is my neighborhood past 11pm, & I hear that crazy *** crowing!!! well ***it's crow is all dilapidated and old, so it sounds more like someone screaming for thier life, I god damn near went for the pistol.
Honestly, it's kind of a waste when you pump and dump, because you're basically pouring out liquid gold, so...I think I may as well give it another four-and-a-half-months.
I did get goofy the first night my mom came in. After dinner, the BF excused himself to go enjoy some "bro-time", so I took the opportunity to get on LoL for the first time in months. Uri, Hev, and I were seven types of HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE, and the next morning was a reminder of why I shouldn't drink for a while anyway.

Well, there's always peach wine too!
LOL! The rooster chimes like church bells! I would be pissed too. That's always spooky in the dead of night.
I live in a pretty urban area, but a couple of weeks ago when I was trying to get the kiddo to sleep again around 2:00 AM I heard coyotes! I took me a minute, but I finally came to the conclusion that those weren't dogs. The dogs that were going crazy in my neighborhood sounded nothing like the howls that were echoing back and forth.
Quick! Someone send in Governor Perry with a pistol!

This old timer I know works for game fish & parks over here, & shoots hundreds of coyotes a day out of this little crop duster, & says he doesn't even put a dent in the population. the threat is real. hide yo babies.

I think learning to pilot a plane (a little crop-duster) would be fun!
Anyway, yeah...They're bad in this state too. There is a little sick satisfaction that comes from camping on hay bales with a .22 and sniping coyotes. I'll admit that.
I used to love going to my friend's ranch as a teen and do just that. Her family had horses and a few sheep that would mysteriously disappear. Actually, goofing off with guns and bows is SO MUCH FUN ON HORSEBACK! I miss riding horses once in a while, even though I probably should have died or been paralyzed the one time I was bucked and ate it.
Her's was the bachelorette party I blabbed about a while back.

wierd, I was thinking the same thing on the way back from vegas. (wierd because it takes me 2-3 whiskeys to be able to fly w/o freaking out)
morning Ni.
the black hills are frosted & quiet this morning, nothing really interesting to report. O, I guess I could post a picture of ze snow this morning off my front porch, brb.
Edit: As of 2010-10-05 14:48:06 CST, Ni reached 10,000 pages.
Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.
Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
