Hey.
I'm a 45 year old former Records Clerk in the process of trying to get training to be a Medical Laboratory Technician because I'm in dire need of a new career...or rather, A career as opposed to a job. I'm divorced, because the bitch was crazy. Seriously, meds and everything; it's not just a bitter ex-husband thing. I'm apparently a loony magnet; since both my post-marriage girlfriends turned out to be crazy as well. ["I don't really need those anti-depressants." Apparently your doctor disagrees.] So, I'm single with trust issues.
I live in Ottawa, Canada's sorry excuse for a capital city. Don't get me wrong; it's a beautiful city, and I love it here, but when you compare it to other capital cities it falls short. We need to be a Federal District, rather than just another city in Ontario. Then if we need, say, a subway, the rest of the country can bloody well pay for it instead of our mayor, Lex Luthor, whining that we can't afford it, so we'll have to get a sub-standard facsimile of one.
I don't say, 'eh.' except to be ironic, and I don't like hockey...or any sports really. I watch a lot of TV, but d/l it all and burn it to rewriteable DVDs, and watch them on the TV, which is significantly larger than my computer monitor, and in front of a comfier chair. Shows I'm enjoying right now are: Eureka, Warehouse 13, Leverage, Mad Men, Defying Gravity, Saving Grace, and True Blood. During the reg season I watch LOST, Castle, How I Met Your Mother, The Office and Better Off Ted. I love movies of all genres, and have a huge collection of DVDs. I go to the movies a fair bit, and through connections and winning make it to a lot of advance screenings.
I forget how I found TJNR, but I think it was looking for nudie pics of an actress, or somesuch. I do like comics, and only discovered while checking other intros that you've got them here. I'll have to take a look. There seems to be a fair bit of interesting stuff here. I also spend too much time on the Internet; watching trailers, Farcebooking, and surfing for decent-quality free porn.
There you have it. Thanks for your time.

I stopped after I read you are 45 and just now trying to find a career.
Life choices fail.

From records to lab tech is a definite step up. I was a lab tech for 6 years.
That said,
Crazy ex-wife tits or get the fuck out.

You sound exactly like Carrie in Sex and the City when she finally admits that it is her fault for choosing the wrong guys, not them choosing her!

Welcome newbie.
Just ignore Ryan. He's a jobless loser for most of the year and a registered sex offender in about 18 states.
You're never too old to try something new.

Only 18? I gave him more credit than that.

+1 for not being a complete comic tool.
And +1 for a decent intro. So, welcome.
But, fuck you for not liking sports, geek.

We all know the only way I live to be 45 is behind bars, so we differ in that way... and I'd NEVER live in Ottawa!! I don't understand men who don't like sports. Meh?
