I do wish I could find a desk job with more regular hours, but right now this job is paying the bills and until I can find another one, that's all that matters. *nodsnods*

Yeah, having bills paid is definitely important!

I was working 60+ before we switched locations and cut down on hours. In some ways I miss it because there was almost never any down time and I made a bit more money; having free time is important though I guess. I need to start college and I'll need time for classes.

Yeah, I was thinking about getting a second job, but my primary hours are too varied and I cannot do it without compromising my primary job. *nods*

I live way out in the middle of nowhere and there aren't any other jobs available. In fact, if I start college, it will have to be online.

Well, perhaps you could move to a college, and get a job around there?

I hope to go back to get my masters degree in something useful. Eventually. xP

Usefulness is good. :P What's your bachelor's degree?

Well I would but this restaurant is pretty important to me so I would like to try to do both. There's only three of us running it and it would put quite a bit of pressure on the boys if I moved away.

Ahh, okay. I understand. :)

It's nothing useful, unfortunately. I got my bachelors in history. I'd have to focus on either legal, teaching, or museum work.

Unless I went back to undergrad for another degree. @w@;

Why did you do something that you don't think is useful?

Well, a past boss of my mom's told her (rather defensively) that it doesn't matter what kind of degree you have, so long as you learned from it, and learned critical thinking and all that.


It apparently worked okay for that guy. His degree was "Folklore and Mythology," and he was a high level exec at Disney. (I think he still is...not sure.) Of course, he started out at Disney as something like a horse-poo scooper behind a parade. XD

Well, I enjoyed studying it, and planned to specialize at some point, but I switched majors because I was good at something more useful. Then, when I got into the intermediate classes, I sucked hardcore (not a sciences guy). I switched back in a hurry and had to complete my core to get my degree. I graduated with honors, but didn't get to specialize properly.

That makes sense. It's hard to find a college online that's accredited. I don't see any point in using one that's not.

Well...most online courses tend to suck, so it follows that most online colleges do, too, and are therefore unaccredited.

Do they really? Bummer. Even just the basics?

Well, I've only taken a couple of online courses, but they were quite bad.

...It didn't help that the subject matter was largely needless fluff to fill requirements.

I suppose my opinion could be skewed quite a bit, but, yeah.

Hmmm. That actually doesn't sound too bad. Not that I don't want to learn -- but if it's that easy, the first four years wouldn't be too bad.

:P Keep in mind that I didn't go to an online college. I just had a couple of basic gen-ed courses that were online.

For me, it's the getting up early. I get sick easily when I get up too early. x.x

Ah, I see... Yeah, the whole "getting up" thing is the real problem, I suppose. It's just that I'm getting up because of work!

I do a lot of grumbling and shrugging off my wake-up alarms.

I get up early to make sure the kids get on the bus alright -- I'd rather get up early than drive them to school! lol

Haha, I'm sure. :P

I don't have kids, so I don't have to deal with that type of thing.

I'm enough of a kid myself, with my silly toys and things laying around. XD

I'm only 23 and single. I don't see myself old enough to have children (nor do I want any either).

Well I'm only 21 -- I inherited these from my bf. They're great kids and I've had to grow up quite a bit, but I still do plenty of kid things with them. I have 4 kids from him and co-parent a foster kid with a friend, and the three of us (bf, friend and I) also take care of bf's nephew. So, technically, I have 6 kids and am part of a 9 person family. It gets kinda crazy.

O.o Wow, that's quite something. Good to look after the kids. :)

Yeah and I don't even have any that are biologically mine yet. The 6 I mentioned above range from ages 17 to 6.

hello how are you

17, eh? Totally believable as being a 21 year old's kid, yeah! XD


Hello, Natsu. I'm good. :)

Yeah, I just don't like kids. >_>; And I don't want to be a mother. I want to do stuff for me, I don't want to take care of another person. I can take care of animals, they're perfectly fine, and my parents and I have five together in the house.

Yeah the dynamics of that can be strange. It all comes down to maturity level.

I am very good with kids, but I prefer the kids of others. I like being able to give them back when it's time for me time. I don't see adopting a kid until I'm in my 30s at the very least. I need to live for myself first. *nods*

And I totally do not have the maturity level to take care of kids, considering I still think of my self as one, even though I'm 23.

I liked being a summer camp counselor a lot, but that's not the same thing as having my own kids at all. XD

I'm sure I'll eventually want some, but depending on things, that might be difficult.

ono poor megaman *watches toho-kuns siggy*

Those aren't Megaman. They're goons of Copy-X. Zero's the good guy! :D

oh good ono

they looked like megaman ouo (didn't get to play many of the games.. and can't find the one she's lookin for)

Well, in the game Megaman Zero, the bad guy looks like Megaman X, and his basic goons do, too, except they just have a big red lens on the front of their heads instead of actual faces.

So, yeah, they certainly look like Megaman. :) I came across the gif this morning on Tumblr. It's quite fantastic.

i see =o *didn't get to play that one*
