| Life is good; It really is! |
| Well, this sure will be a change from the normal rant you guys are used to, I have had a great month. Not only financially speaking, but this has been one of those months that everything comes together, everything you worked for has been worth it....Finally you are nearly there where you want to be. The new job is cool, I started about a month ago and through working 70-80 hour weeks I am getting the job done. It's been a Bitch to start with; The company was a mess, the guy that is my counterpart in running the team is utterly useless and they just didn't get it right. But somehow it is getting there now; Management actually listens to what I tell them, they trust my judgement in almost every situation and I have, virtually, all the freedom in the world. I will soon be the new rising star in the company. Financially speaking this has been a great month, I have made about �2000 in wages ($3k for the americans reading this) and the Grand National (the biggest Horse race in the world) has proven, once again, that I can still can not be discarded by anyone in the horseracing business. I didn't bet much this year, should have but decided to be sensible, and still made a VERY easy �1000. (1500$) The month will be even better with the Scottish version of this race coming up this Saturday, I will look into this for about three days and make myself, an estimated, �2000 (Yanks, do the math yourself this time). This is not a prediction, this is statinng a fact. I am not some gambling addict whom thinks he is on a roll. I only bet 3 or 4 times a year and I do it well. And, in the end, I don't care about how much money I have made this month. Life is just that good. Some other company, I won't say whom, has offered me money to write columns on their web-site. They came to me, sure the money is crap but it is good to be recognised for the two-bit crappy column writer that I am. I will not be posting the site here, as they have requested that I use a different name. The rants will be slightly different as well..Just the same tone of voice. I have had this epiphany yesterday, that my life is actually running pretty much as smoothly as can be expected for a 27 year-old. I am looking and feeling absolutely fantastic! (I didn't get self-help tapes in case you are wondering) I am still talking/mailing with all the people from the company I worked previously, only the cool ones of-course, and I thoroughly enjoy it. I have some very cool friends, and have made some cool friends in my previous company (All female believe it or not..and yes..this includes the "should I or not I not hit on her" chick I have been telling you guys about.) Started working out again, after all; If you want to be a success you have to look it. What can I say more?....At this point in time I am a success...and this time next month will be even better. Does this mean the anger is gone? Does this mean the rants are over? No. I am still pissed off about a lot of things, some of the anger has even returned. but for now..untill tommorow probably..Life is good! BTW, I will start to put dates on the rants from now on, I think it will be better for the site (and for any new readers) |
