layton Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 So I get two weeks off for spring break, but I don't have enough money to go anywhere but around here. Anyway, somehow i wind up putting in around over 30 hours of driving in, ascending over 10,000' of mountain slogging, and getting under 30 goddamn meters of climbing in at a local portland crag. I got snowed out, rained out, and on my last fucking day when I have a chance to at least climb something at smith, I get a really bad cold. After 11 trying weeks of intense school, i get nothing, and now i get 11 more fucking BITTERLY SPENT weeks back in jail...er school, and now it looks like i can't even affort to take the summer off unless someone knows how I can earn $7,000 to cover all of my bills. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you climbing god! Quote
Roscoe_M Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Tread easy when talking to the climbing gods. Karma Karma Karma. Freak climbing accidents aren't that rare Quote
Roscoe_M Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Oh yeah, and the seven large? Ever heard of Duece Bigalow? Quote
layton Posted April 10, 2006 Author Posted April 10, 2006 you're right, the climbing gods are petty fuckers. Quote
layton Posted April 10, 2006 Author Posted April 10, 2006 looking at the bright side, I did get to hang out with my girlfriend a lot. that was very nice. Â $7K is about how much i get for living expenses with my student loans plus a little credit card padding during a normal quarter. so if i take the summer off to climb again, i need that so i don't go bankrupt, which i live on the verge of doing every month. Â Unless anyone has a really great idea (that doesn't involve a full time job) I'm gonna apply for another credit card and get a part time job with a chiro, ortho, or physical therapist in portland or bellingham.

Roscoe_M Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 There just aren't any jobs in this town Lloyd- Â Pshhhh yeah, unless you want to work 40 hours a week. Quote
foraker Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Hell, boy, you call that bitch fest? You aren't even suffering yet. Call us when you have a real grad student suffer-fest and not any of this whinging poofta-sounding nonsense. Quote
Blake Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Mike, you took all of last summer off work/school/responsibilites to play, I don't think you can legitimately complain about not being able to do that once again. Â Too bad about the crap weather on your spring break! Quote

ivan Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 about the worst for me as well - while crying kids'n'wives i've dealt w/ before, the most annoying part was ending up in the e.r. after an accident at the goddam climbing gym of all places (for the man who's survived countless stupid alpine incidents w/o a scratch!) Â the summer must rock though mikhail! Quote
G-spotter Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Mike, think of it this way, even when you're done school people will still tell you that you aren't a real, medical doctor, just a chiropractor or massage therapist or whatever hippydippy shit you are wasting your school money on. Quote
chucK Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Yep, that's two precious weeks of your life you'll never get back. Might as well kill yourself. Â Quote

Off_White Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 The worst thing about Karma is that the transgressed upon never get witness the bastards get what they have coming. For instance, I can count on the thumbs of one hand the number of times I've seen some road-raged reckless asswipe pulled over after their blatant life-threatening malfeasance. NOTE: I'm not making a bid for witnessing any Mtn God's revenge on Mike's poor carcass, just remarking on the general deficiences in the concept of karma. Quote
Off_White Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Oh, and bad spring break? You mean you got a spring break? Quote
kix Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 christ someone lube this thread the whine is intolerable. Quote

Do tell, Ivan! arm in arm bar jam + fall on jam = intense shrieking pain + shoulder dislocation + morphine in the ER = an amusing afternoon Quote
