wasted degree is my worst fear, and i'm sorry you had to slog through that torment. i haven't been around that long, but i know enough about life that your ultimate choice resonates with me as the right one. i would rather be broke and making grabby hands at necessities than slaving at some j-o-b where i have no future whatsoever

"slightly overweight d/t sedentary work, eating salad out of a tupperware container, vera bradley bag, probably a fireman calendar in her office at work -- you know?"
This is me...without the fireman calendar. Don't get stuck in a job you don't like/isn't rewarding. You've seen what it does to a person.
As is my wont (nearly all of my LJ friends were made over fic), I wandered over here after the discussion over "Let Us In!", which is one of those stories that make you think, make you wonder about the person who wrote it, where did those thoughts and experiences come from. Either that, or I'm just nosey. *shrugs

re: let us in -- every single staff character in that story held some part of me. jensen and jared were two halves of my whole person, two opposites that i struggled with on a daily basis. those licensing events and 90% of the client scenes really happened in some form. in my head, robert's got a face. the real june died of an aortic aneurism that year. it's very autobiographical. i think that's why i was able to put so much effort into the style; the plot and characters came as easy as breathing. that story holds so much for me, so it's especially personal to me when people really enjoy it. it's like they're validating my life's work in some weird way

It shows, definitely, in making the story seem so very real. It's also a large part of what makes it speak to the reader, I think, because there's something we can all relate to there.
those licensing events
Could also relate to that part, in that hospital labs are all about documentation, and they care more about whether it's written down than whether or not it something was actually done, because again, that way you have something to show the inspectors. If you have to pencil-whip it, then so be it.
your funk is overwhelming and makes me realize that, haha -- i do not have problems. when you're 48, and you want to find passion again, and you're not sure about anything anymore? you need the shoulder and the ear.I felt a little bad about dumping all that on someone I don't even know, actually, afterward. But then, that's me--I don't hold much back, so I
