Wut?
A victim says "MY LIIIFE SUUUCKS!!! I WANNA DIE!!"
I don't consider myself a victim. When shit goes wrong, I fix it. And that is all.
I'd be deluding myself if I tried to tell everybody how awesome my minimum wage job and fat ass are, tho. I don't do that.
I enjoy some things about my life enough to make up for the sucky parts. I hope I live a long long time, fat ass or not.
I'm a work in progress. :)

Right... not a victim... you are blaming your fat ass on genetics and your piss poor job on your environment? And you do not have victim mentality? Xen, I am not saying this to fire you up, make you upset with me, or try and hurt you... live by those words that you are a work in progress, stop blaming shit on others shit (exercise more... work harder or smarter/get educated), and create the reality you want! The only way to do that is to accept your shit as your shit... period.
lol I'm $80 000 in debt for my education and I exercise myself ragged.
But at least I have a job and I don't weigh 400 lbs or have an exploding liver like my mother and sister.
I'm grateful that I can exercise at all. My mom couldn't walk by age 37. My sister can barely walk, either.
If you think you know how to turn a minimum wage job into repayment of an $80 0000 student loan debt, I'm open to suggestions.
I'm actually looking at putting some cheap real estate in my daughter's name in the meantime.
It's a crazy risk, but one I'm willing to take for the potential payoff.

Well.. for starters... stop doing things like this:

You are in no place for a quick payoff at $80,000 debt on a minimum wage job. Better to play the Lotto...
What is the background of your education? Got a degree?
Xena stated: source post
Nope.
I have a college diploma in Nothing Useful and half a degree in anthropology and archaeology.
So... nothing useful.
Then what is your job right now? And what other than playing in dirt do you enjoy doing?
Nice job telling me what not to do. :P
You have a problem with authority and any advice perceived as such becomes ill advice... the facts are you have $80,000 debt and a minimum wage job... someone should tell you not to do some things, wouldn't be a friend otherwise...

Didn’t you say the other week that you couldn’t run more than 150 meters when ‘training’ with your son? Like, one-hundred-fucking-fifty meters??
Are you crippled, or something? ( < genuinely curious question, of course if there’s a disability which prevents you from normal functioning, it’s a diff. matter.)

Another genuine question - what exactly constitutes as “archæology†in Canada / North America? (always been curious about that, just too lazy to google it.) In europe it covers everything between palæontology and the XVII c.; post-1600 it falls under ’history’ (which has implications on excavation permits etc. - although lately ethnoarchæology / industrial archaeology gained legit ‘field’ status); so per definition North American archaeology would consist pretty much solely of Native American stuff, no?
Anthropology - was it actual anthropology, or the so-called “cultural anthropology†(a ‘social science’ = non-science, like ‘gender studies’ & such)?
I don't discuss my job here. It's nothing to be proud of anyway. Trained monkeys could do it, and the pay is crap.
As for the advice.... my sister is considering putting the house in her name, which tells me it's an excellent opportunity. My daughter is only a backup option, in case my sister gets turned down for the mortgage.
Unfortunately, my sister and I would have to work together to make this thing work. UGH. lol
I get along better with my daughter.

That may not be useful but that's fucking cool, I don't care about practicality. Archeology is dope.
Yeah I loved loved loved archaeology :)
I took a year of biz and accounting in college bc I thought I'd learn some useful skillz to help me make money. But I HATED it. I haated the people. I hated the mentality. I hated the constant poorbashing and neocon crap. Imagine spending 8h/ day 5 days/ week with 40 people who are just like Cadaver. Except they actually have the authority to grade you and make you miserable if you tell them what assholes they are. AAAAHH! I wanted to gouge my own brain out like every fucking day.
So people gave me their huggyfluffy granola advice and said shit like "if you do what you love you'll never have to worry about money."
Yeah right. What a load of bs that turned out to be :P
