well Jay, let me tell you something: it could be one
whole hell of a lot
WORSE.
you could be locked up in a Serbian rape camp pulling
caboose duty for a
neverending stream (haha) of smelly foreigners or have
your achilles tendons
cut with a razor sharp machete in a Rwandan genocide
vacation resort.
people in the first world that have a lot of time to
sit around and dwell on
their "problems" seem to find a lot of them.
the harder they look for them,
the more problems they find. sitting around in the air
conditioning flipping
through the 83 channels of cable tv and getting "depressed"
because there
just isn't any real easy to make snack food in the fridge
and there just
isn't anything good to watch no matter how many times
you scroll through the
channels in your recliner doesn't really qualify you
for the job of grand
marshall at the pity party parade. dwelling on imaginary
mental problems is
a luxury that people that have actual THINGS TO DO (like
finding actual FOOD
and SHELTER every day) don't seem to have time for.
I would suggest that you increase your workload until
you don't really have
any time left to sit around grasping for a diagnosis
of why it is you don't
feel "fufilled", or donate your time to your
local homeless shelter. those
guys should keep you so busy wondering whether or not
you are going to be
stabbed in the eye with a sharpened spoon that after
(and if) a couple
months go by without any injuries you are going to look
back and wonder
where you used to find the time to feel depressed.
now get out there and tear the world a new asshole,
dan, and be sure and
tell them BLACKOUT sent you.

That is what I have done.
I have an engineering degree. I was the youngest Senior
Engineer on a
government contract. I developed a marketing strategy
(and related
code), that was getting a 30% positive response rate
on cold calls,
while I was studying for a series 7 and 66.
Only to be destroyed by a jealous, hypocritical sadist,
who I was
trying to help in the first place. Now I have no job,
simply because
someone who I trusted thought it would be fun to destroy
me. No joke.
I'm agressively looking for one because I might lose
my house if I
don't find one.
You don't know me, so don't tell me my troubles are
imaginary. I'm on
this group for a reason. I'm not wasting my time.
You are a troll.
You are wasting my time.

And I was the youngest locomotive engineer on the Union
Pacific
Railroad. I developed a Coupling Strategy that resulted
in 30% fewer
derailments. Now I'm working the 7-11 at a Philips
66.

Now is a good time to sell. You won't see prices like
this for
another generation. You're too leveraged anyway if
a simple thing
like losing a job puts you over the edge.

You are a troll.

Nobody knows anybody on usenet. This is the LAST place
you should look
for help, but since you did, I feel obliged out of a
deep sense of
sympathy and caring to tell you to shut the fuck up
and get over it.
Blackout gave you good advice. Like they say in Siberia:
March or
Die.

PS. You want to fly executive, start acting like one.

Blackout, why the hell are you bringing these self-obsessed
wieners to
alt.slack?
I did the same thing on alt.support.loneliness, I trolled
those pathetic,
woman-hating limey downers all to hell and back. We're
talking flabby
fishbellied white collar Nigels in their parents' basements
in Liverpool.
except that I didn't tell them about alt.slack, then
when the whiny brit
pissers googled me and tried to "out" me to
everyone on alt.slack, true
hilarity and slapdownation TEXAN DOBBS STYLE happened.
It was kind of like
holding them down and pouring hot sauce down their throats.
But you have to
work on your style, Blackout. You don't have any habanero
flavored creamy
center that you tell nobody about. It's just directionless
scorn. That
makes it boring. Work on your delivery.

who the fuck said I was trolling?
I'm SERIOUS.
sometimes people get stuck in their little "oh
I am the mostest worsest
offest person in the entire world surely I need some
sort of PILL" ruts and
need a good dose of TOUGHLOVE to snap them out of it.
sure, some of them are going to cack it along the way
but that's just
darwinism at work. the STRONG ONES may just pull through
with a tiny little
nudge in the right direction and if they don't well
maybe they weren't all
that strong in the first place.

You are a troll... You picked a fight in a forum that
you have
nothing to do with, and no knowledge of at all. Am
I manic
depressive? Maybe. Am I a lonely, no-life usenet troll?
No.
Get a life.
I'm sad today, that's true. Tomorrow I'll be happy,
but you will
always be a loser.
