Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

He's hoping he gets at least one lifetime in heaven after death before hebgets banished to hell where they will reside.

Today I am sad because sad. I seem incapable of not moping.

Say it with me now kids, "Don't go to law school!" They called me crazy, but once again I'm right.

When I woke up this morning, I felt really good.
I felt happy. I honestly thought "Maybe, I'll actually be able to accomplish something today."
I was appreciative of the good things in life.

And then, like it was on some kind of cosmic cue, things just had to be fucking destroyed.
I've had to miss 2 days of work because of snow, and I'm going to miss 3 more days, after talking to my employer.
This is, according to my family, my fault.
It's my fault that I don't have the energy to shovel out 40 feet of driveway, because they are not willing to help.
It's also my fault that my wife's hair is tangled, because she refuses to take care of it herself, and expects me to do it for her.
It's my fault that we're running low on food to eat, because I can't get out to a store, even though I did get to a store when this started, by walking, because I couldn't get the car out, and nobody cared that I nearly fainted while doing so from exhaustion.

And then it got into me not being empathetic enough, and that she's so fucking compassionate compared to me.

I really hate it when people think that they can be the judge of their own character, and ignore people who say they don't know themselves as much as they want to think they do.

The greatest icing on the cake was "At least you aren't still living with your parents, trying to force you to shovel a huge driveway while insulting you."

At least there's that, right?

Compassion.

I'm still calling you crazy for not considering a career change yet.

Why the hell is that so expensive, anyway? Teaching law doesn't sound like a large drain on capital to me.

Control of info and potential profit of teachers coupled with the bureaucracy involved.

...That is not compassion.
A 'please help me' there would help. Asking that would nudge the... 'compassion'. :-\

Not everywhere is there or that. :-\
There are many ways to combat the poor attitudes creating a plague for any society--dissuading a possible course which is tied to such efforts...isn't right ._.
Though dear goodness, the lack of thorough thought is a big factor causing these problems.

I've tried.
They say that they're too sick to do it, so I have to do it myself. And me pointing out that I don't have the energy for it means nothing, because it "needs to be done", and clearly, they can't do anything about it, so it's my fault.

Just read in the news, a 3 year old in Toronto got out of his families apartment and died in the cold today. Stories like that just make my gut drop. It's every parents worst nightmare, waking up and your kid is gone.

What about falling with them in your hand and cracking their skull and calling an ambulance while you know it's hopeless.

Like I'm not even a parent but I keep thinking about this scenario.

Ok, yes, that's super terrifying too (but not very likely I think, babys are rather hardy things, and your parental instincts would like cause you to significantly injure yourself before even thinking of risking the baby). I think this situation is worse though because of the unknown element. The build of terror as you scour the house calling their name louder and louder. The sudden drop of the gut as you notice the front door open. The panic when they're nowhere in sight.

Honestly I'm kinda surprised that school wasn't cancelled in my county today. It was -4 degrees outside, without windchill.

They only ever cancel schools up here when the driving is unsafe, cold be damned. However, we're used to the cold, not sure where you're at.
