so, ok. what are you fuckers thankful for?

The NHS. God save the NHS. I can't be thankful for my "health" right now cause it's pretty poor, but I'm thankful for the health service.

Friends that stay loyal (even when I don't deserve it).

my RL friends are either on their way to prison or overly-sensitive muthafuckas going through mid-life crisis.

My meds obviously don't work.

My (first) job barely pays the rent and is sending me to an early grave.

My second job (in a bar) pays fairly well for the time involved yet wants me to cover up my tattoos (IN A FUCKIN' BAR!!)

let's see what else. . .

yeah whatever. . .

I guess I'm thankful for you guys but that's prolly mainly b/c I don't know you that well.

hmph.

chocolate chips

Let's just say Santa doesn't usually make his way 'round to the EDT.

So lemme rephrase things:

-I'm thankful I don't have an old man/woman to fuck me around;
-I'm thankful *she's* his girlfriend an' I was just creepin';
-I'm thankful I'm not dying of anything that I know of;
-I'm thankful I have a second family at Sh1ps (don't make any cracks about this being a bar);
-I'm thankful (?) that every day I face 100+ developing individuals staring back at me rather than 4 cubicle walls
-and I'm thankful that there are still enough young, lil' corners of the 'net like the Bam Margera messageboard to give me transitory, and mean, pleasure.

as an employee or as a 'customer'. i've been one of the former, and it's a total fucking farrago, surely? viz. a post i made on the aaronovitvh thread about a report on monday's c4 news which was basically abt the incompetence of the unit i used to work for. i have boundless respect for the front line because they are getting royally fuxored by the management structure.

Both. But I'm also very thankful that my employment (hopefully) comes to end tomorrow. I've been glad of the money, though!

I'll see how I feel after work, the back still isn't fully healed yet, but I'll give you a ring when I get in.

I am thankful for my beautiful boy & I am indeed one of the luckiest ppl in the world to be spending my life with him.
I am thankful for having a loving supporting family, even if sometimes they bug me.
I am thankful for having the best friends who are there for me no matter what. friends old & new.

mr teeny's dad has built up a reasonably successful insurance business, he has a little office at the bend of a busy road. Saturday morning at noon, he and his staff (which is mr teeny's brother and stepmom) were all supposed to be there.

stepmom and dad came down with the flu and stayed home. Brother decides to meet client at clients home rather than office.

Drunk woman misses bend in the road and crashes her SUV THROUGH the entire office. Enormous hole in brick wall, desks and computers smashed, the whole deal. Brother is in client's home doing the life insurance speech (you never know when something bad can happen) when he gets the phone call about the accident!

Everyone is safe and sound, including (unbelievably) the drunk woman. And of course the office was insured against something like this happening.

My goodness. I'm glad everything played out the way it did.
