    I know exactly what you mean. When I was in high school four of my cronies piled into my friends 4X4 subaru and we headed out to the country in a snow storm to party it up. There was this particular trail road we use to love to go down. It was terraced just right that if you were going down the trail road it would drop down about 2' then it was level for 50 yards then it would drop down again, this went on for about two miles. Now if you drove 80 MPH down this road your tires would only be in contact with the ground about 30% of the time. The rest of the time you were letterally flying down this road.

    So we decided to check out the terraces, but that particular nite we had about a 10" of snow. My buddy who was driveing decided to do a doughnut while he was going 40 MPH down that trail. We went sideways and hit that deep snow broadside, and the car started to tip. Everthing got so quiet, nobody said a thing, as the car slowly tiped toward the drivers side. It seemed like time stood still that car balanced on it's driver side wheels for what seemed an eternity then tipped back over on all fours.

    The car just turned into a loud roar of laughter, and we took off. We just got back into town as the transmisson started slipping bad. As we dropped the last passenger off he had to jump out, because if we stoped that car thats where it was going to stay. But we got the car home with the tranny out but not a scrach on it. I will never forget that night or those people that were there as long as I live.

    Number three starts next week. She has a mediport and a take home pump that infuses FOLFOX for 48 hours.

    As for me, I'm going out to shovel every couple of hours.

    Definitely. I guess it was the irony of it all. Nothing like almost dying 2 hours after you turn 23 I guess.

    Staying busy. Trying to keep my head above the snow. Looking at about 20 inches here. I'm doing better than some, at least I'm still able to get out to work every day.

    Any more troubles with the job hunt?

    Yes on the phone again with the Screening company today. It seem they don't read any of the Paperwork they're sent.

    they have voice mail selections (x4) that goes to messages that say this is not a valid section.

    My favorite is this E-mail they just sent me with the following line in it
    • A signed disclosure and consent form. If you provided us with an email address, you should find a copy of a consent form in your email inbox. If you did not provide us with an email address, please visit .....

    OK if they don't have my email them how did they send me this email and
    of Course there is no Form Sent at all and on top of it all the link they gave is a dead link.

    They have is screening so screwed up it's unreal, and today I was informed they lost some of the information. How I have no idea.

    People they have contacted have called me to say they sent and or spoke with them and sent stuff in as requested on me and than they get contacted again asking for the same information.

    I get a feeling this whole thing is going to fall apart. I'm about to walk away from this Job (Job Offer) out of fear that I stepping into a big mess.

    Sounds like a bad deal.

    If it starts this bad, how bad is it going to get when you need information or materials later on a job?
