Today's the Most Depressing Day of the Year

Coincidence that it's the first full day home for most TAM5 attendees? I think not.

Need "proof":

I heart TAM, I heart the JREF, I can't believe I missed the first four. Never again, I say! I have to defend my victory at the chocolate challenge!

I couldn't agree more! There I was on Friday afternoon thinking: "I can't believe that I missed the first four of these things. If I had only known." Then the news that I will have to wait 18 months for the next full TAM hit me like a punch in the gut. Eighteen Months! Way too long!!! Oh the horror!!!

Yeah yeah. Now you know why the rest of us stuck at home actually mope so much after being to a TAM and then missing the others that come along.

Just you wait, I'll get to go again, and feel the pain even more on the years I don't make it to one again.

Just saying, I know your pain, and know the pain of missing TAMs after being to one.

*mopes*

I got the same story yesterday, but from a different source.

http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/this_britain/article2175075.ece

The Brit paper has some 'great' suggestions at the end:

Make sure you get up, get dressed and try to look good - don't leave off make-up.
Wow - this is going to change some men's lives forever...

Quote:
Visit Australia (it's lighter).
Yeah, that's doable...
