Ok this thread is designed for everyone to spout off about any good news that has befallen them, or bad news, or both. Its kinda like "The good news is _______, but the bad news is ___________."

But share what you want....if you have good things happening then great! :)
If you have bad things happening, then my thoughts are with you and I wish it better for you.


I'll start:


Good news: I sold my house yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!! w00t!

Bad news: Now I have to rush around packing, selling and shipping stuff across the friggin country. And I have to figure out where we will be living in the short time period between closing on the house and actual "leave Ga" day. Can anyone say Holiday Inn?

good news: i have started to run a 3-5 in the am, which actually is good news to me, since i wasn't sleeping. now i'm getting excercise, in between furious bouts of NS. also, i'm getting closer to making up my mind about the military (thanks Eutrusca). and speaking of Mr. Forrest, i have a new E-Grandpappy! yay!

bad news: well, my girlfriend wants to go on a break for a few weeks so she can figure shit out. personally, i had thought she might come to me with her problems, but no. she'd rather get all reclusive. it's not a nice feeling. ill timed too. i decided maybe three days ago to surprise her, upon my return to chicago, with a diamond heart pendant (on sale). i'm still going to, but i'm gonna feel a little bit like shit when i buy it. but i know she'll come back. i also know this isn't one of those "let's see other people" deals, as the whole idea is for her to get some time to herself, i guess. ah well. i would be angrier about this whole frustrating situation, but the runner's high has yet to wear off.

Good news: I have training tomorrow.
Bad news: I have a cold and it's raining.

Good news: I have a four day weekend this weekend (May Day and Tin Hau - the local God of fishermen Monday and Tuesday respectively).
Bad news: There's lots of races and training this weekend, so I'm stuck in HK and can't go out drinking/partying.

Good news: I get paid this Friday.
Bad news: Because Immigration dicked around so long (I swear, I'm certain they kidnap sloths from South America, shave them, dress them and teach them to stamp applications) I'll only get paid from the 18th, not the 6th, which is when my job actually started. I also won't get the housing allowance until next month because a different Govt bureacracy needs to process that application (and wouldn't until the work visa had been approved). So instead of getting $4000US (approx.), I'm going to only get $1000US. So a tight budgety month coming up. *sigh*.

Good news: I've almost paid off my VISA card. I now owe only $32NZ (about $24US), down from $10000NZ ($7500US) 7 months ago.
Bad news: None really. I owe the bank frig-all! They can suck blood from some other poor sap! Ha! I'm free! Free I tell you!

Ohhh look a shiny pretty thing...must have it... here take my visa card....

Exercise is the best thing when going through crap like that, believe me. The endorphins help immensely.
Good luck btw.

thanky. yeah, last time i sought refuge in a bottle. bad idea. no sleep + immense frustration + beer = nastiness. this is a lot better. it's really hard to stay mad at sharon to begin with, even when she does this kinda crap, but it's even harder when i'm swimming with enorphins.

Take up rugby. After two hours of training the concussion of tackles, mixed with endomorphines, will make you the happiest and nicest guy on earth.

water polo has a similar effect. except you kick, elbow and punch, but you don't tackle so much. oh, and it's in a pool.
