I'm here cause my dad dragged me. Not really my choice. At all.

Be very careful with that nonsense. :)

One of the most depressing times in my life was the first June after college. I realized that I wouldn't get a summer vacation anymore, and I would be working 50 weeks a year for the next 45 years or so...:sniff: I drank heavily

Actually first summer after college was great for me ... my friends all came home and we fucked around a ton. It was the next summer that sucked - everyone hated working so much that they applied for grad/law school. Granted, can't exactly cruise in law school like it's possible in college, but there's just something so attractive about that "student" status.

I bet you still drink heavily. How many more years of working to go?

For me? not so many....

as for student status.... a couple of the Wicked StepDaughter's uni cronies are into that - go back for the PHD, then the masters.....

Over here, they're known as 'Professional Students'

They've all got rich parents, though..... funny that.....

That was the June I was talking about. I had worked a whole year, got to June, and ...... keep working! Fuck!:mad:

The way Social Security is going, I'll probably have to work until I'm 75 - 28 years to go. :sniff:

Drinking cut down when the kids came along. Gotta be responsible, you know.
