| No time for gaming....No time for nothing.... Between my 40-hour per week job, and 15 hour school schedule, plus homework, I find myself having very little time for doing things such as gaming lately. I wake up, go to school, go straight to work for 9 hours, then go home and do homework till I fall assleep, then start it all over again. How I would love to find the time to play a good MMORPG, but its not gonna happen!

| hey beedub, how's it going? my step daughter both goes to college and works, and it's stressfull, I feel your pain in that regards.
I haven't seen you on AIM lately, so I want to give you a heads up in my situation. I have a contract and a loan all set up for a house. We plan to close on the house in early march. The house is big and fairly new in a nice neighborhood in Raytown, Missouri. I'll tell you more about the whole ordeal if I see you on AIM later.

Atleast with 40 hours a week you can get paid good.
Last few jobs I worked I couldn't ever get above 25 hours |

| I do get paid good, but all my money goes to pay off my accident I had in December. Once I get that paid off, man, I am going to be looking at some computer upgrades.

| Oh well. I could use a job right about now to pay off that $400 LCD I had to get after my little incident. I have been told that I will get a summer job. |

| Kinda sucks though once you get a job, you need one. You get used to the money, and considering I pay for absolutely everything I have I always needed one. What? You want a car? Then you need insurance, gas, repairs, and... A car! And for all that you need a job and money first, so its kinda crappy for a job you need a car, for a car you need a job. I just got a new job workin at a nursing home. But ofc we're already understaffed so I got one day of training instead of 6 and did two hours of OT last night.
Where do you work Beedub? |

| My best friend gets his college paid for....totally.
That is such an awesome deal for him, I wish he would take the time and realize what he has. It really ****es me off when people dont take advantage of what is given to them.
Man, I wish I could get college paid for but I cant. Not only that, I have to most likley find a scholorship or a job or financial aid. Dont get me wrong, I love the fact that my parents worked hard to give me some money to start with and I thank them for that, but this is gonna get rough soon.
Oh boy, anyways beedub I feel your pain too. Im busy with school so much I dont even have time to work. It blows.

Like last night I was about to play a bit of WoW.
But by the time I got home, read/post some forums, send some one a warning PM, cooked and ate dinner, read/post some more forums, IP Banned some one, had a smoke, it was about 11pm all ready....

You know something....
when your Year 12 High School Teacher says "In 6 months time after you finish school, you are going to wish you are back in school."
And the irony of that is.... they were right about that.

| Yea, being a senior in school is crazy. It seems like I'm never home, what with going to sporting events and what not. I almost don't even have time for a job, but -[Wo0t!]- (uh huh, Microsoft better write another article for that) I got an interview for a job on Thursday. If I get this job, I get my Jeep, and gonna get my cell phone back. Yay money!
