My family is ashamed of that job. I don't know what they expect? Just when I'm starting to not feel bad about this stuff.

at some point we have to stop worrying about pleasing others and instead please ourselves TH.
They're not living your life - you are.

If you love animals - this would be a great job for you.

Totally agree with Dee. Petsmart could be a real step forward, try to ignore others disapproval. Families can make us crazy man.

I agree that families can be judgmental & ruin our enthusiasm. I wish I hadn't cared so much about what everyone thought.
Hope the interview goes great. Glad you have the opportunity.
Congrats on your Day 243.

Day 244. This morning I got a job offer at Home Depot for 16 an hour, so the Petsmart thing is moot. I looked it up and Petsmart pays crappy and apparently it isn't a great place to work. All I have to do is pass a drug test. Good thing I decided to not go on a binge earlier this week. Good thing Minneapolis is too dangerous to go to obtain said binging items.

My family still doesn't like it. They want me to wave a magic wand and become an astronaut or something?

That really made me laugh, Thrill.

My family was disappointed too - but they got over it.

Congrats on the job offer and your day 244.

Day 245. A day away from 8 months. Though 8 months isn't "coin-worthy", just like 4, 5, and 7 months. When your as much of a crackhead as me you should get a coin for every day.

Seems somewhat unfair not to get at least a prize for making it to eight months, it's a long schlep. Perhaps the Guy Smiley award for outstanding courage in the face of total bewilderment.

Something went wrong with my post !
