I guess once I stopped writing, it became harder to get myself to start writing again. That is the only excuse I have for missing the last third of 2014. But now that 2015 is new, I’m going to stop looking back, and start looking ahead. Besides, this entry would be way to long if I decided to go back and recap everything.  What I’m about to write ( Read more... )

Miss me?  If you haven't already realized, I haven't written anything in over a month. Why not? There's no short answer for that. It's a cocktail of being busy, stressed out, sad, anxious, and more. On a base level, I'm doing fine, at least physically. Work is going to wrap up in a few weeks, and I haven't been able to arrange my next job yet. I've ( Read more... )

I kind of wrote an entry for this week, but I think it’s junk and I don’t want to post it.  I basically was saying the same thing over and over again.  I’m frustrated at myself because I haven’t made any progress on the job hunt goal despite having ample opportunity to do so over the last few weeks. But whining about how much I suck isn’t going to ( Read more... )

Yeah, I know I’m late with this one.  I’m not sure how late though because I’ve loss all sense of time, and I don’t have any to go back and look it up. I’m trying to write all of this entry in less than 30 minutes, so it’s going to seem a little rushed since it’s mostly just stream of consciousness. So the plan is going, but not as well as I’d like ( Read more... )

These 55+ hour work weeks are causing me to really loose track of time.  I’ve only been at the new job for a couple weeks, but it feels like I’ve been there a month. I think back to things that happened just last week, and it seems like ages ago. But truthfully, a lot has happened since my last update.  Probably the biggest thing is I finally moved ( Read more... )

Well, I’ve completed my first week at the new job. I still can’t tell if I like the job or not.  I can’t say that I’ve had a “good” day yet. Parts of the days have been good, but they are so long eventually something bad happens. The long, long hours are probably the worst part of the job, but this week I have some shorter shifts coming up, so ( Read more... )

The plan I’ve been operating under is in full swing now.  I can’t turn back even if I wanted to. Last time (or the time before), I expressed somewhat my concerns about this plan. But now I’ve had a taste of what the job will be like, so I’d like to reflect upon that for a while.  I’m not quite sure I will ever come to “like” this job as I’ve liked ( Read more... )

Here’s an extremely late update because I’ve been extremely busy lately. There was hunting for an apartment in the cities, buying a used car, and No Brand Con complete with getting sick from that all on top of working more than usually at my current job (figures, now that I put in my 2 weeks, I get a crazy amount of hours). So yeah, I’ve been busy ( Read more... )

As i prepare for the new job, April is going to be pretty busy, with a lot of traveling for me. Late this week, I need to go up to the Cities to do some paper work, and I’m going to use the opportunity to look at apartments too. The week after that I head back north for No Brand Con. The week after, I go back to the cities for training over the ( Read more... )

Last week, I interviewed and successfully obtained summer employment at an amusement park outside of the Twin Cities. I’ll start in May. The pay isn’t great, but it is full time (40-50 a week). I didn’t take the job for the money.  More important to me is that it will give me 3 to 4 months to live in the MSP metropolitan area where I can look for ( Read more... )
