Made a little something up with paint. I think it lost a bit of coolness in the decompression to a smaller size. The cardinal reds are a bit off.

If anyone is bored feel free to post some designs... winner gets the privilege of letting me use their design for my avatar.

almost there, strunk! Bet it feels good to have that one paper out of the way at least.

NW-It is a 1997 Honda Civic Coupe with manual Transmission that has 168,000. The downfall is it has $3,800 worth of damage to it thanks to my little incident last week. If you are mechanically minded and could do the work yourself it would probably be much closer to $1,000 to repair. PM if interested.

Umm...you're not allowed to post about your Civic without mentioning the fart can, aero kit, and chip swap you did.

Nothing like getting a text saying "I'm getting evicted" with no explanation in the middle of the night, and then coming on here for the rest of the story.

It does remind me of the time that my brother and SIL had to move because the house they were renting went into foreclosure. The people renting were just cashing the checks and not bothering to make the house payment.

I really learned the caliber of people and company after leaving today. Accused of lacking professionalism, class, loyalty and integrity. God forbid someone leave the company.
Some people will just be petty. 00 has a good response. I hope this reinforces it.

If anything, this email chain should just help eliminate any doubts you may have about the decision to move.

Also, now you know how Coach Dreamy felt.

haha I actually took the fart can off and the person I bought it from took all the subs and what not he had in there but the wiring is still there if that is your thing.

Oh I put new tires on it last year that probably only have like 3,000 ish miles on them.

Wxman, I'm out I'm pretty sure I'm not that handy. I can do some stuff but there is too much stuff I don't know how to do.

So I'm getting evicted.

Ok, not actually evicted, but my landlord is selling the building.

It's actually probably a good thing. I should have moved long ago, but I'm too lazy. I've already found a potential place on the North Shore, where I've always wanted to live, for almost 500 dollars less and twice the size.

Hopefully the person responds to me. I'll go sign the paperwork tomorrow.

Gonna go live with the turtles?

So I'm torn right now. I want to switch my major from Finance to Accounting, but my co-op was in Finance. If I switched it wouldn't affect my graduation date. I put effort into this work experience and I'm afraid it won't mean much if I switch.

I feel much better now! The group presentation went fairly well. One group member showed up 15 minutes late but the teacher is nice and there's only a total of 5 students in the class, so it's pretty laid back and wasn't a big deal.

I took a peak at my topic of study for my paper and presentation due Friday, and it looks interesting and shouldn't be too hard to write about and talk about. And the paper is only 4-6 pages instead of 5-8!

Would you be happier with accounting as a potential lifelong career?

When in doubt, keep referring to Nickel's question (especially the first 4 words). It'll serve you well.
Listen to these wise people.

When working in accounting, it is more about the process than most other jobs. If you are alright working within a pretty strict set of rules, accounting will work for you.

I wouldn't be worried about this. The work experience shows you can be a functioning member in a business setting.

Agreed with this. Even if you can't say you did specific accounting things, you can relate the experience to team work, functioning on a project, meeting deadlines, etc.

Since I saw the movie, I associate all things North Shore-related to the movie "Forgetting Sarah Marshall". Remember, you can quite wearing a watch when you move out there. Your cell phone has a clock so you won't need it.
