I started getting white hairs in my early 20s. I mainly leave them be unless they decide to stand straight up. Then they deserve a good plucking.

I keep telling people that taking another entry level type job does suck in this economy. Sure it can lead to bigger and better things down the road but I can't live off of a maybe.
So, even though I got my degree in 2005 I'm still working at McDonald's.
But I work M-F days and I have no commute. I keep checking the listings to see if anything worth sending my resume is out there but the jobs either require me to know programming languages I didn't get to learn in college - for some reason my degree program didn't offer them - or they don't pay me enough to make the 1 1/2 commute to St. Louis to work.
Starting November 1st my store will be owned by different owners. My former boss is retiring.
I'm not sure what type of people the new owners are. They could offer us better benefits or take things away from us.
They can decide that nobody gets weekends off.
And since I've worked there as long as I have they have me by the balls - if I had balls - because I can't afford to take a pay cut to work somewhere else.
So, I'm hoping they're not assholes.

I'd be happy to still have hair long enough to turn gray. I attach photo evidence taken seconds ago... Attachments:

I guess I should find a picture on here and snap shot it for here Won't be able to see any grey hair though thankfully its not seen worthy! But I do agree, Facebook killed these types of forums. The only active one or semi active one I have left of a forum is a horror forum I am on. The rest dead as a doornail. Of course Facebook I get great pleasure in tampering with my family. I am such a weird soul they can't decifer my sarcasm at all. I started randomly quoting "Dead Man's Party" last years Bones premiere promo and one family member thought I had lost my mind Oh its fun to let my older family not read the Internet!

That sucks, TJ. Really hope you'll be able to sort this out soon.
I'm still in IT, that hasn't changed. The place where I'm doing it has changed though. I've moved to another country (Singapore) to be with my girlfriend. The job I'm at now is crazy stressful, I'm working late and on weekends most of the time. I would complain, but TJ's problems make mine look miniscule in retrospect.
At least the pay is good. At this rate, I should be able to save enough to tie the knot next year. If she's still willing to go through with it, that is
Oh, I've got an Iphone 4 that I'm glued to.
That's right, I've become one of those people.

I don't have an iPhone 4. I have a 3G. I love it.
I'll get an iPhone 4 when i either lose my phone or towards the end of my contract. By then though they'll probably be an iPhone 5 or something. I'm on a 2 year plan.
And congrads Nick!

I have a flip phone from 2007. I don't do fancy phones. Or have high cell phone bills. I bet mine is cheaper than all of yours

Thanks, but hold off on the Congrats until I actually propose. Don't wanna get ahead of myself.
Oh, and Iphone 5? I got it on good word that it's coming out next March.

The Crackberry is my phone and I like it, but my iPod Touch owns my soul and undying love.
I'm still freelancing at the News Journal as well as at the Cecil Whig. I also substitute teach at high and middle schools in Cecil County, MD.
But the big news is that I've decided to chance careers and become a history teacher. I had to do it because there are fewer and fewer jobs out there. And newspapers aren't looking for somewhat inexperienced sports writers. As a result, I'm made the hard decision to chart a new career trajectory. I'm on the last week of classes for my first block.
Other than that, nothing really has changed. I still don't have a girl to call "Zoe" or "Codex" or "Anya".

Well, History teachers are known to be hot. You could conceivably get together with a hot college student called Zoedexnya.
