So I went to the eye doctor's this week.
The visit had been long overdue, but because of the huge amount of work, and because I constantly kept postponing it just because I didn't fucking feel like it, I was kept from going. I remember that last time I was there, there was a big hoopla about the events that happened in "The Ordeal" [CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO] , which, a few months later, saw the light of day in a mass media pubication when I was given the chance to write an editorial piece about laser eye surgery. They actually had a copy of the article, because they were able to deduct that I was clearly talking about them, even though I didn't mention the company's name anywhere.

I figured he was just talking out of his ass (as he does 90% ...Keep reading.

Today, after months of waiting and mounting expectations, I have finally placed my signature on a genuine employment contract.

I'm In.
I am officially welcome into corporate Hell. And I couldn't be more thrilled.

Now for Phase 2:
OPERATION *SAVE SOME CASH AND GET THE HELL OUT OF THAT HOUSE A.S.A.P.*

It took me completely by surprise, since I was expecting a couple of more interviews, but the wait was totally worth it, especially after the unnecessary mental stress I put myself through yesterday.
It turns out that at the monthly general meeting, they usually give the names of every new employee that is added to the company, and it surprised me greatly that, among the new freelancers and part-timers, my name was nowhere to be heard. This irked me greatly and caused a great deal of paranoia to start building up within me. What if ...Keep reading.
