That game we laughed about when we were kids

My experience point totals in that game, Papers and Paychecks, is really getting me down.  Keeping your job is the new Getting a raise, and Not getting kicked out is the new Doing well in Grad School.

I sort of miss the killing floor, because I always used to go home knowing how lucky I was not to be in a plastic bag or a diaper.  Wept that I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.  That kind of thing.  I'm just exhausted.  At least I have work to get me out of bedin the morning, and school to keep me up late.

At the end of this course, I'll be halfway through the program.  Or, well, the coursework anyway.  The research I'd be doing anyway, probably.  At least (some of) it's on the Company's time.
