    Default I'm gonna get drunk

    Warning. I'm in the mood for a big **** pottymouth swear sess so if you're feeling delicate with language, tune out now.

    It's been a **** horrible time lately in this game, ain't it? We've got programs shafting us, poker exploding in a ****-your-pants-scary way, merchants not paying us, massive tax bills, **** RIDICULOUSLY long working hours that'd be enough to kill an elephant... and y'know what, I'm gonna get drunk. And stoned.

    Sometimes, often even, I think to myself, "y'know what, you've got the best job in the world". I really feel like that sometimes. Wouldn't swap it for anything. But sometimes, it goes the other way. I've done this **** for 12 years now and it gets exhausting.

    **** it. I need a vacation.

    Hang in there FictionNet - I think you have just voiced ( albeit in a rather colourful way ) how we are all feeling.
    It seems that we just get through one knock and then the next one comes along.
    However Gambling Affiliates are quite resillient creatures and always manage to bounce back in the end, so all I can say is try and take it as just another curve ball that needs to be ducked and try and look at all the good points in our industry. Many people are worse off and you have got through other bad stuff before, so you will get through this too!

    Hang in there is all I can say. We all have days like this. Maybe a vacation is exactly what you need, but in this business I realize it isn't always that easy to get the time free from work....

    Doesnt sound so good when you think about how long this is going to last ... this isn't going to be temporary; USA is going to be fuq'd for quite some time.

    After 10-11 years this might be the last straw for me - anyone want to purchase some domains/sites? :P

    Perfect interpratation of the facts of our businesses. Just when you think you see light at the end of the tunnel you realize it is merely an oncoming train. And when you think "It can't get worse" it does.

    Tilt back and pour a few, put on a good movie and relax. We'll be right here when you come around.

    Oh, last thing, have one for me too!

    You've pretty much said what a lot of people in this industry think on a daily basis (from what people tell me).

    Where there are problems/issues, there are opportunities

    Happy Easter Holidays everyone

    LOL what a great way of saying how we all most likely feel. I guess you are lucky that itīs still legal to drink (when will the land of freedom ban that too) , haha. Enjoy your time off getting drunk

    I worked 80 hours this week and yesterday decided to get some various kind of drugs, get high like hell and watch my girlfriend ruin our bathroom.

    Shouldn't blowing off the steam, be related to something like getting a nice few days off in a wonderful place or something, instead of getting an euphoria for 3 hours while under the influence and then feel like sh*t for a day because of a hang over. That's just depressing.

    Horses for courses. You do your thing. I'll do mine without it feeling 'depressing'.

    After being in this industry for so many years I have learned to roll with the punches. Yes there are ****** times, but on the other end we do have some amazing times also. Hang in there and that roller coaster will start to climb again.
