Thanks for the note, OD - I certainly will. I've got affirmations taped up pretty much everywhere.
My father has already proven himself over and over again to have nearly the worst temper I have ever encountered. Yes, these days I certainly do take the high ground. Problem is that he is my biggest client. I have two interviews next week, however, and hopefully I can tell him to find someone else.
I hope we all have a drama free 2011 and that I am successfully able to continue being a nonsmoker. The pins and needles have started. This is worse than kicking tramadol was (which I have been clean from ~6 months or so)! Doing it without the patch or gum or any meds. I promise not to be one of those self-righteous ex-smokers and perhaps in time I'll be able to enjoy one out occasionally.
TAOW, holy fucking crap dude, call if you need anything, alright?
