I have a two inch stack of paper under my desk that I now use a scrap paper -- the paper is from printing out my resume and cover letters and proofing them over and over for 2.5 months while I was going through the process.

fdba Emory Blaine and BBA or otherwise trying to find the perfect pseudonym.
 

I go through phases of looking at it regularly (more than three times per day--- almost constantly), but then a few weeks will pass when I don't feel I need to. I think the phases are correlated to a number of factors, but probably most significant is that when I've been getting laid more regularly I feel less of a need to look at it and make myself feel good about being better than 99% of other people.

When I'm feeling burned out I like to take it out and feel the prestige of working in PE after graduating from Ivy League school just leap off of the page and wash over me in an awesome wave of relief and satisfaction.

 
StopDropRollI post them up all over my room so I can study them like a detective looking for leads on a cold case.

I have them posted on my wall too! Though, I have them arranged in a collage that, when viewed from afar, depicts me bending the earth over a chair and railing her from behind.

This lets me know that I am always "in charge".

Regards
