Comments on: How IM Can Slowly Kill You http://theratracejournal.com/how-this-business-can-slowly-kill-you One person caught up in the rat-race of life Thu, 08 Apr 2010 07:51:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Joie http://theratracejournal.com/how-this-business-can-slowly-kill-you/comment-page-1#comment-11747 Joie Fri, 15 Jan 2010 06:45:25 +0000 http://theratracejournal.com/?p=289#comment-11747 Wow, It's great to find your site. I'm a bartender, 40 years old. It's the job I've done most of my life and I don't really have a lot of other marketable skills. The problem is it's a young person's job and I'm not that young anymore. My most viable option is restaurant management, but it'd mean a pay cut. Besides it's just not a role I really see myself in. So I did some research on the internet and about three weeks ago I began learning and practicing IM. All I do now is work, one way or another I'm working. At the bar or at the computer. I get about six hours of sleep and I walk the dog a couple times, but that's it. Work. My roommate thinks there's something wrong with me. She's sure I'm chatting online with a homicidal stranger. I've tried to explain, but somehow the whole thing sounds kind of loony when you try to tell someone else. She just can't understand what I'm doing. Hell, I don't understand what I'm doing. So far it's a lot of activity for not return, but I have every intention of succeeding at this. I'm trying not to get discouraged. Every time I see one of my sites move up a notch it gives me a little encouragement. So far that's been enough, and I think it will continue to be enough. Truthfully the whole thing verges on obsession. OK, maybe I've said enough. Anyway thanks for your site, for you words. I find some of your posts very encouraging. I'll be back for more. I have the self-sufficiency dream too. I promised the dog a back yard in the country somewhere. So I just have to remember what this is all for right. Thanks again. Wow, It’s great to find your site.

Yeah, I can see where it might strain your eyes depending on your monitor. I will likely be changing the template as soon as I find something suitable because there are so many great new themes out there now compared to when I started this in 2005. Thanks for the comment.

This article instantly drew me into reading it. So true! I have no bookmarked your site and will visit it again. My only request is you do something with the colors the white text on red background messes with my eyes. Make the text bigger or change the red background to something lighter, I highlighted all the text just to read the article.
