Its been a strange but lucky couple of weeks for me so I thought i'd share it.
Big luck - landed a history teacher job @ a grammar school (dunno if they have them in the US, but they're schools that are state funded but require an enterance exam)
gaming luck - Have bought 2 pre owned games recently, WWE 12 and UFC 3. Both have had working on line passes even though they're pre owned. woo hoo
now off to buy a lottery ticket
