Well, this is it, end of the line
 

my last day at the soul sucking job. Whopee, I made it, survived!
No clue what is next on the horizon, job wise, but in just under 4 weeks, I will be home again and holding an AP! Whee!:snap:

Yay! No more soul suckery! Congrats! :)

Whee! I'm so happy for you, lady!

Please remember to take your soul back from your job when you leave!

Congratulations! :cheers:

Fantastic! Now, to get your boss out of there and into something a bit more fulfilling. I know you'll find something in SF. I can't wait to have you local-ish!

:cheers::snap::cheers::snap::cheers::snap:

Well, he has 3 job offers pending, now all he needs to do is make the leap off the ledge. It's only going to get worse here. He's mega depressed today, he can't even talk to me. Anyway, I will continue to needle him by phone every day until he leaps!

So there's one less bitter-east-coast'er round these parts eh? Sigh, the dark hand of isolated depression tightens it's grip on me just a wee bit more.

I'll try and keep a positive point of view, but I expect the blackness will occasionally seep into my posts as I reflect on how alone I am out here....

Oh and don't forget the help wanted ads on craigslist.org not only can you find pieces to missing board games but is it a VERY VERY VERY good place to find that next job. Especially in it's hometown of SF.

Good Luck!

I love how "Bitter East Coaster" has taken on a life of its own--I think this needs to be added to the Lexicon of Swank. (I'll have to work on the entry.)

"Take this job and shove it....I ain't workin' a-here no mo'....."

If you could make a little Eeyore emoticon to go with it, that would be peachy!

Down With Sucking!

Isn't sucking going down anyway?

But not all of the Bitter East Coasters are depressed like Eeyore.

I think there's two variations:
1. Bitter East-Coaster: someone who is bitter about being on the east coast.
2. Bitter-East Coaster: someone who is on the east coast, but not (necessarily) bitter about it.

Whatever you anal retentive control freak. I have just always been looking for the perfect oppertunity to use "Eeyore" and "peachy" in the same sentance. Now my life is complete.

Guess that would make me #2, bitter and on the east coast. :evil:

If you're bitter (and clearly you are), you're #1. For #1, the person is bitter. For #2, the coast is bitter.

But if you're life is complete, then you're not bitter, so you'd be a #2.

I'd better stop it before I confuse myself further. :confused:

Now wait a second, I demand to be #2! Err, umm wait a second, let me put that another way....

I am bitter dammit. I live on the east coast.

I am not bitter because I live on the east coast.

I'm just bitter.

So that's clearly #2.

So I need definitions 1a and 1b. If you are bitter, you are a #1. So #1a will be bitter because of living on the east coast, and #1b will be bitter and living on the east coast.

Or you could just eliminate the hyphen entirely and be ambiguous about it.

But some days I AM bitter because I live on the East Coast and some days I'm just bitter.

So you're a #1, and you waver between sub-definitions a and b.

What was this thread originally about?

Well then how in the hell do you get to be a #2? Are you saying that I have to be "not bitter" to be a Bitter East Coaster type #2?

I don't know something to do with the weather I think, snow in CA or some such.

Are you guys done yet? ;)

Derailer!

Hey, I was trying to end it and get us back on topic. So :p

I'll stop if he stops first.

Well, I've never considered myself an east-coaster, so I am neither #1 or #2 I'm a presently misplaced west coaster. :)

I do have my soul back, my final paycheck and a very blingy chanel pendant from my boss who is too sweet to me. He's on his interview/offer meeting now, please God, let him make a decision so he can free his soul, too.

Feeling almost free

Plus from what I can see, you don't have a bitter bone in your body. An instant disqualification.

he???

:D

What does this make CoasterMatt?

He's not bitter, he's from the west coast, but he longs to head east again...

What about people who are bitter and not on the east coast? Although technically I was born on the east coast, so perhaps that's my answer.

Please define East Coast, as well.

And congrads on the soul retrieval, Snowflake!

Wow. It's been a while since I've heard that one.

What is it about me?

Today is National Derail Day or something. Must be the day before Sign of the Devil Day.

It's the boobs. Throws 'em every time. :p

Maybe you should just go with the flow and be "one of the guys"
They obviously want you on their team. ;)

Still I agree with Pru.. :evil:

Ed Masry: What makes you think you can just walk in there and take whatever you want?
Erin Brockovich: They're called boobs, Ed.

OK, well now, I've obviously flummoxed this one. So how to proceed from here...

Apologetic: Sorry, it was terrible of me to make such a mistake. It's totally my fault.

Ignore: So how is you first day of freedom going Snowflake?

Aggressive: Well perhaps if you had a less androgynous avatar. Look at me, I have a rocket!

Sexist: You seemed to be making good arguments so I just assumed you were a guy.

Transference: If you had made it to a meet I was at, I'd have known you by now.

Humor: See above.

:D

Matterhorn Fan is NOT a boy (Didn't that used to be her tile way back when?)

And, for the record, Stan4dSteph is also Not a Boy and her name isn't Stan.

God, I love the internet.

You can't blame the avatar. I've only had one for like a week.

Previous explanations have been "I get Matterhorn Fan confused with MonorailMan," and "you and HTHBellcaptain sounded like old college buddies." Neither of those work, since those people aren't posting here.

Sexist or not, I'll take "you seemed to be making good arguments so I just assumed you were a guy" as a compliment.

As for "if you had made it to a meet I was at, I'd have known you by now," announce a trip to WDW and we can set up a meet.

However, you'll never find me if you think I'm a guy.

Ahhhhh!!! Now I get it.

"Matterhorn Fan" + "WDW local" = Frustrated.

Of course you are a girl! ;)
