DING! DING! DING!

Ladies and buttholes, we have a winner for biggest post-xxxxx!

That should be another category for the Forum Oscars, don't you guys think? Hehehehe.

Post xxxxx? How so?

I was referring to your self-hating, self-quoting posts.

10 minutes until I get fired for completely messing up the presentation to the Japanese. I don't remember how to breathe. I have forgotten what Immunology is. I'm going to die and to make matters worse I couldn't sleep last night because I figured the BEST way to make an impression on the grant-giving, heavy-pockets smarty pants Japanese people was to look like what the cat dragged in. Japanese scientists like cats... right??? Oh mommy, wish me luck!!

If by post-xxxxx you mean I hate myself, then I am. But one cannot base it on my repeat posting since I created this thread in the "Other Topics" forum, which was not being used, specifically for me to type randomness which I was not expecting people to respond to. I do not think I am stepping on anyone's toes in here since it is a relatively unused area.

I am sorry CK. Good luck. Keep me posted (no pun intended). I am confident that you will be fantastic.

I hope to go to Chicago and New Orleans this year. I have not been to Chicago. I have vacation time now. I do not know how much though. I have never had vacation time before. Rush is also going to tour this year. I am excited about that. Unfortunately I have nobody to share the experience with. I went with D.A. last time but he does not like Rush. Hopefully I will have a girlfriend who likes them. If not, I will probably go with J.G. but her new boyfriend probably would not be too happy about that. Though this coffee is not that good, I am enjoying it. It is hitting the spot. We had very expensive sea bass for our Chistmas dinner yesterday. I miss my grandfather. I hate my job but I do not want to quit because it pays well. I am relying on this check to get certain things done. I e-mailed a college about their mortuary science program. I want to know whether I would be able to keep this job and attend that program. Every one will judge me before they know why. That will bother me. The coffee is making me real hot. I have never had good experiences with sea bass; it is always undercooked.

I had GREAT Sea Bass at Catalina Island. Go figure... we were sitting there all high and mighty snorkeling/scuba diving around the protected marine areas where you can't fish or even remove a single rock and debating about the great problem that is the depleting fish in the ocean, and topping off the evening with GREAT sea bass and yum calamari steak. In hindsight eating seafood isn't the smartest thing when you are on a 'save the ocean' Island crusade, but then it was too good to pass up. hehe.

As for the presentation, I expect a $100/hour raise after that. It was soooooooooooooo nerve racking and I don't speak Japanese but I do believe the smiles were a good thing. Alriiiiiiiiiight. Except for my shaky voice and annoyance that people weren't participating (I hate feeling alone up there... I am alone, but still participation by the audience is good) I think it went pretty well. I doubt I'd get my raise unless it's in my dreams but I do suspect something good is coming. phewwwwwww....

I am very happy it went well. I did not doubt it would.

I should give Catalina a try again. I found it terribly boring for the most part. Of course, I was there with my family, which could turn any trip boring. I did snorkel with a boat tour thing, though, which was very nice.

My favorites are still halibut, swordfish, and the various tunas. And that is in order of priority.

I wish I could take my own advice.

I used to say (when I was a little youger) that life is like a long long diarrhoea followed by death.
Now I'm much more polite (sic)
