Twice. They're a bunch of promotin' fools.

London would never promote me, I think it has something to do with me expressing the opinion Heathrow was a great big dump of disorganized chaos and if I never step foot in that airport again, it will be too soon for me. My job promoted me.

BTW, when I go to France next year we are not going through London.

Aces proposed to me this year. In spite of all the other crap, I must say that makes this a pretty good year for me.

It was actually a good year for meeting Planeteers, met a lot at Phil's BBQ, more at the Planet Bash, and I even caught up with Mr. InChiefsHell a couple months ago. But alas, no Rain Man meeting this year for me either.

Charged with Aggravated Child Endangerment and Involuntary Manslaughter. (Finally) Nothing will happen until after the first of the year. Still facing months and months of legal issues. Makes it even harder for my family to start healing; trying to deal with everything.

Mike sorry to hear about your boy. Somehow I missed the original thread.

As far as my 2007 goes...

It started out lame, when the Bolts lost to the Pats I was super pissed, and didn't get over it until about July, I know I am lame.

At the beginning of the year, I was working 6-12 hours a week at $8/hr

At the end of the year I am working 40+ hours a week @ $15.25/hr

Cant really complain. Its been an above average year for me.

Condolonces to all the dudes that have had rough years. Keep your heads up, men.

My 2007 was full of change. I graduated with my MBA, moved away from everything I know to start a new job and proposed to my fiancee.

As to whether or not that stuff is good, I don't really know. Its good to finally be done with college, but I wish I didn't have so damn many student loans. My fiancee is great. As for uprooting and moving to BFE Nebraska, that's still up in the air. It would be nice to be closer to everyone I know, but things appear to be going OK.

ummmm - I'm a die hard Chiefs fan..... :shrug:


Actually, all in all not the worst year (although close), despite a LOT of personal crap. I'm still healthy and still have family that haven't disowned me yet. Got a better job, made some good solid plans for retirement someday.

Rough year here. Besides the fact that the Chiefs sucked and DE jr. had a miserable year, things that actually matter went bad too. I only managed to work about 4 months this year. I got stiffed for about $6000 from the work I did do. But, I am optimistic. While I was out of work, I made a career change. I got my license to sell Health, accident, and life insurance. I plan to start that right after the first of the year. Hopefully, that will do well and I can recover fairly quickly from the financial hole I am in now.

It's been a pretty tough year for me in terms of stress and anxiety at work, but it has had a couple of highlights.

I've lost about 90 pounds or so since December 1, 2006, so at least 75 of those pounds disappeared in 2007, thanks to a lot of exercise and healthy eating. I got my first academic appointment (Asst. Professor in Residence). [The job's very stressful, but at least I'm putting my Ph.D. to use.] And I took my first overseas trip, to Greece.
