Hey, Foul! People were talking about how ppl should start new threads, and then you show up... 
How're you doing? Whatcha up to? And I can't remember, are you done with school and working now, or still school?

They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."

I was working for about 9 months in a factory, but decided to make a move and see what else I could do. I left on good terms, gave them 2 weeks notice. That was March 16, so yeah I'm a bit bored.Linna Heartlistener wrote:Hey, Foul! People were talking about how ppl should start new threads, and then you show up...

Otherwise I'm fine, very active in church and hopefully will begin that Master's to become a librarian this fall. Either way I don't feel a whit bad about exiting the factory. There's just so much more I know I can do with this Bachelor's I spent 4 years slaving over.

Awesome news, very glad to hear it!Lord Foul wrote:Otherwise I'm fine, very active in church and hopefully will begin that Master's to become a librarian this fall.
Leaving the factory on good terms sounds good. Hope you find some productive things to do with your time. ...library-related community-service for the resume since summer's coming?
(arrgh, I think I sound slightly like I'm trying to be a mom! "you know, you can use the spare time on stuff that will be good on your resume, Foul - and don't forget to brush your teeth and clean your nose before you leave the house!")
But I'm biased- I've come to the conclusion that I love libraries... my husband describes them as his "natural habitat," and I have to say, that kind of makes sense to me too.
But I do identify with finishing your degree, and then ending up working somewhere random that doesn't really "use the degree."
My first job after college was at a call center ("call centre," actually since it was in Canada) verifying phone service orders- customer service!

The mysterious Juan Valdez has recently returned to the Watch, so you may get some of the wisdom you desire (very artfully expressed
).Worm of Despite (the former Lord Foul) has departed the Watch, but the new Lord Foul (are you keeping up
) will welcome you here if you wish that sort of attention 
u.
P.S. You could also head over to this thread to get a more official and regular welcome.

I have many names... and may play many roles
So that it's clear: I'm not the Lord Foul who was on the Watch before, from 26.10.2002 to 16.06.2012

I see the world through bloodshot eyes, streets filled with blood from distant lies
We are bleeding sins, and our sins are always fading, the dogs of war never compromise
Help me Jesus,help me clean my wounds, He said he cannot heal that kind
A bleeding soul becomes a bitter mind, He said it happens every time
