The above question has nothing to do with what I'll be writing here. It was just a topic on SomethingAwful that I happened to hit. Those guys have got to learn, they've fucked around with people to about the extent that Adequacy has, and they're the ones who are constantly getting threatened with lawsuits.

Well, I guess that just goes to show that the written word is mightier than the e-mail bomb...

I just spent a shitload of money on camping gear. Much more than I should have. In fact, this pushes me nearly a thousand dollars higher in credit card debt. I'm pretty much at the point right now (or perhaps I've always been) where I either have to get a badass promotion and make what I'm worth, or else I'll end up digging myself so damn deep into debt that I'll be a working-class schmo my entire life.

At first, it was going to be my graduation from college that was going to take care of it. (I failed out.) Then, it was going my be this job I'm in right now. (It didn't pay enough.) Then, it was going to be me getting a raise. (That didn't cover everything.) Then, it was going to be me getting a promotion. (That might still happen, but there's just a good a chance that it won't.) Now, it seems that college graduation, and a better career after that, is my only hope. I've really got to stop living outside my means (yes, that means that the $800 painting is on hold, indefinantly.)

Sometimes I'm afraid that I'm going to end up a wage slave for the rest of my life. I'm starting to realize that this is less of a frightening possibility and more of a certain consequence, if I don't get my ass in gear and stick to the plan.

Yes, that's right, the plan. Some of you may remember it. Most of you probably haven't seen it. Either way, the plan needs to return. I need to get some serious discipline back in my life. The plan will give me something to follow, and a measure against which I can observe my progress.

The plan will be written here, tomorrow.
