I confirmed my hiring with GSS, I'm officially their employee making 28 grand a year, and my benefits kick in next week.
I love the office environment, and everyone that works there is awesome.
It's sunny and absolutely beautiful outside, even though t he forecast called for rain.
The cat we adopted was spayed yesterday and despite a few minor complications is doing fine, we get to bring her home tonight.
My grandmother is talking to me again!
Could life BE any better? I THINK NOT.
VIVA LA TODAY!!!!!!!!!

Grandmothers rule. Well, at least mine do. Glad you're back on speaking terms with yours.
Smooth sailing to you in your new endeavor.

It makes my day see others who have not been, find happiness at last.
Keep the great news coming!

You have the most gorgeous eyes. I always wanted blue eyes.

That's a start.
Glad you're having a good day. I'm stuck in a basement in Downtown Indy fixing an inventory system. I can't prove it but my troubleshooting skills are pointing towards retarded operators as the root cause of this failure....

It's been a long journey. Four months ago I was in a very, very dark place. I'm sure most of you noticed a change (or at least I hope you have).
There's something to be said for making decisions for yourself and your happiness, and to those who help you out when you need it most.
I salute you guys, there have been many days I couldn't deal but many of the people who have helped me think things through clearly and been a strong leaning post, I've met here. I won't say names, because I think it's the comunnity mentality rather than individuals (although there are some) that have been beneficial.
I hope every one of you has a day like this today!

::Also Off Topic:: Jesus Christ there were alot of people online. They had at least 10 servers and most of the servers had between 600-1000 people on them.

I'll go as far as hair up/down, glasses on/off, but anything other than that must be authorized and approved by my significant other.
Besides, nobody really wants to see me naked, it's not that spectacular.

You look like my friend, Tara, from school. But I know you're not her, because she's at Yale for nursing school.
I can't believe she became a Yalie, but whatever. Ugh.
-TheE-
Hair down, glasses off, some lingerie or other sultry piece of clothing being worn by you while laying in a seductive position, eyes looking into the camera would be nice.
Im joking of course.. but its the thought that counts. :yes:

I did that once. I looked like Frankenstein. Still have nightmares. And contacts make my eyes water. Life is so unfair.

Every time you enter the game, you need to press "Accept" to their EULA. The first time you enter it, you need to scroll to the bottom for the "Accept" to become available.
At the bottom was the address information, which caught my eye. The place is like walking distance.

Green eyes and red hair on a girl.
My baby blues get me in trouble.
I hope your week finishes out strong and you can build on today. Back to fixing this MF'ing inventory bullshit. I can't believe some of of the people that got admin rights to this box. It is so freaking hosed I'm about to just format it and say whoops.

I don't think brown eyes would look bad on you. I must say that I think your blue eyes look better then the butchered brown ones I stuck on there. BTW, those eyes are Debbie Gibson's (She came up in Google Image Search - and the eyes were decent).
Lets face it. It's not the eye color but what's behind them. Youre gorgeous with flawless skin. I hate you.
And I would just like to add once again: Wezas frightens me.

NO one's ever hated me for that before.
The closer you get to me, the more you see all my freckles and stuff...
Don't hate me. I only look nice from certain angles!

Here is a picture of her, I'm sure Betheny will post some now that the camera is charged.

One more t hen I'm done.
I'm weird, I like to sit with my feet underneath me at all times. So I sit in the computer ch air indian-style with the keyboard across my knees.
Lo and behold, t he cat decides it's a good place to be. So she sits under the keyboard with her head sticking up by the space bar, and rests her head on my hand. Or the s pace bar, whichever is more convenient.
Your cat looks like "I'm the shiznit and no one can fuck with me". Real cute.

Maimara that is a sweet little cat ya got there, i sorely miss my little cat (name was bitchcat) we had to give her away because when my daughter started crawling we noticed she had a cat dander allergy, pretty bad one too.
TheEschaton
04-16-2004, 01:21 PM
I just want to know what's up with SHM's picture. You pushing the cat's face in toilet paper and taking a picture of the impressed paper?
Edited to add: Or is it because that cat's the devil, and it can't properly be captured on a phone camera? I bet you Maim digitally inserted another cat into her pictures as a coverup.
