Hello Internet! Remember me?
I've been a bit absent from the internets lately (slight understatement), but I've wanted to come back and remember LJ again because it is my very favorite thing to do on the internet. It's where fandom lives and where all my friends, rl and otherwise, hang out. So here we go with trying (once again) to post more often.
I quit my crap-tastic retail job and I am now working nearly full time at the less crappy car dealership job. I do actually enjoy it most days which is more than I can say about any other job I have ever had.
I would never have thought I would be any good at car sales, but as I am not a real salesperson but more of an assistant it is not so bad. I do feel like I actually help people if you can believe it. People who want to buy cars that the sales-staff are ignoring or too busy for.
Working more hours at this job has been what has kept me away though. I thought my life would get easier with only one job and in someways that is true but in others I feel so much busier. When I have time off I almost always have plans with friends or co-workers. It's not at all a bad thing, but it's left me little time for fannish pursuits. I do want that to change though. I really, really, want to start writing again.
I just realized it's been since October that I even touched fic writing and it used to give me so much satisfaction. I have some free time this week-end and it is my stated goal to write something. I miss the creative outlet, also Rose and the Doctor are the most fun fandom couple ever. I've had a few fics on the back burner for the longest time and the big epic series of epicness that I've been writing for well over a year is never too far from my mind. Time they came to the forefront as priorities of my free time. I can paint my nails when I am retired.
