no more complaining from me!
I started my job today I work for a company called Beautiful Minds Center for Autism, and I'm a Behavioral Therapist. I have 6 clients (all under the age of 5) who I work with and teach them social skills, behavioral training and such. It should be really fun. I got a giant bag of toys today to bring in to my sessions with the kids, so they're automatically gonna love me.

I haven't talked to Paul since Thursday night, I'm very happy to report. I thought I would be upset if he didn't try to contact me, because who doesn't want someone to like them? But I'm actually really relieved, because now I don't have to decide if I'm going to talk to him or not, or be scared that I won't be strong enough. I tried to block his number, but t-mobile said there's no way unless it's harassment and then go to the authorities. I don't think I can count being a douche as harassment.

I'm also thinking about going all the way and doing a Doctorite in Psychology. I'll have more free reign in private practice, and probably more clients and a better income then. The only problem is that it's 4 more years, and who the heck knows how much more money at $900 a credit.

Speaking of private practice, has anyone seen that show on HBO? I really want to, but I don't think I have HBO....that'd require me hooking up the cable into my tv which I'm MUCH too lazy to do.

All in all, things are pretty much on the up slope. Only problem is that all my friends live about 40 miles to the north. That's a lot of gas used, and I feel like it's my duty as an Earthling to use gas sparingly so maybe that'll encourage me to make friends down here.

You could always work on your doctorate while you are working part time after the master's. I am a big fan of being a perpetual student though. You should try to get a fellowship somewhere so you wouldn't have to take out more loans. The HBO show (In Treatment) is free right now on amazon.com/TiVo downloads, so we downloaded the first 6 episodes or something. I'll see if it's still free and we can download them all so you can watch them next time you're here (or perhaps we could burn a DVD...). (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Congratulations on the new job. That's awesome and I'm sure you'll be great. Congratulations on avoiding the biggest douche in California. (Maybe jack fm could hold a competition for that - only the nominator gets the prize money for having to deal with the douche in the first place.) I think you should go for it (the doctorate) if you want. Why not, you only live once. (Reply to this) (Thread)
