So, where has my life gone in the past two months since I informed the community of my aspirations of being on Jeopardy? Well, it has had ups and downs.

The highlight of September was me no longer being a teenager and turning 20 as well as the annual anime convention I go to yearly. I learned from that that when you work your hardest and give 120% to the job, being the first one to arrive and last one to leave, most of the time your efforts will go unsung in favor for someone else who has appeal or has won the hearts of the bosses. A simple thank you for your efforts would suffice but that was a hopeless thought as you never do truly get a proper and honest thank you when you go out of your way to do something thoughtful and nice for someone else (Trust me, I have had plenty of experiences similar to this in the past with former employers)

The best part about October? I got laid off. Yes, even lawyers have bad times in this bloated economy with people wondering where all the jobs went and all they need to do is look at the yuppie managers who decided to sell the company to Chinese manufacturers for 70% less money and they reap the benefits while the hard working man has to wait for his food stamps. So, now I have no job and a beautiful opportunity has landed in my lap that can get me out of my sesspool of a home and into a decent college dorm with people I know fairly well. The only issue is that rent will be $500 a month and the guy won't get the apartment until sometime next semester. This gives me roughly two months to find a job and get some pay built up before I can move out of my home. Not to be a cynic, but this is as hopeless as Sean Hannity getting a degree in Political Science (In case you ever wondered, yes people like Sean Hannity do not have a basic education in the field they talk about. It's like when all the morons in your school who have taken a basic Economics class think they know everything about the economy only using the notion of Supply-Demand.)

I also have a laundry list of people I am starting to not like who I once called a friend for other reasons, but I think that may be best left for a future journal entry where I vent about that.
