just get laid off! then it'll be impossible to worry about. worry about what's in front of you, do your best. maybe taking a proactive step about layoffs will prevent your worry. hatch a scheme. make a move. secure your job.

If you don't have a developer, you need WordPress or an alternative. The description isn't enough to know if it's something wordpress could handle out of the box. There are places that host and manage WordPress. If you don&#x

Earthlink still exists? Wow. When I was a kid, we would steal "ELN" accounts for dial-up and then hop on to AOL via TCP/IP. Edit: we did that so when we got punted we didn't have to go throigh the whole dial-up sequence.

Sometimes I tell myself I may as well change some bad memories to be better. If I manage to accomplish that, I can change the past. Because the only record of some of these events is in my own brain. I am the arbiter.

At mine, we had Warcraft 3 installed on the macs in my programming class. The greybeard teacher didn't really care, but his TAs would fuck with us because they were upper classmen. So they'd uninstall it. We had admin creds, thoug
