Wow. Lookie there...
Sep. 15th, 2011 11:41 amYessiree! Boy do I suck at this whole journal thing...
Well, a few things going on with the people in my life. Mom has PTSD but has realized it and is trying to work through it and pull her life back together. Sister still a putz. Dad still dad (I don't really know what to call him...). Cousins in university or school.
Work continues. I still love my job but it is changing and I don't know if I'm going to stay through the changes. We'll see what happens after the remodel, where we will be closed for four to six weeks and they have no obligation to give me hours anyplace else. Oh, did I mention they will be closed for the holidays? Maybe I'll see about doing some traveling then, if I can cram as many work hours into the intervening time as possible...
Friends. Some of my friends are having a hard time. My friend Jewels is getting separated and having to try to find a new place and is applying for a promotion at the library and is majorly stressed out and just about frazzled to the bone. I don't know how much more she can take. My friends Christina and Heathe are gearing up for Baby 2 to come in December, but Christina is hoping for a November baby (I don't know why...). In addition to that, Christina's job sucks ass, and Heathe is getting really sick of his manual labor job but they can't afford for either of them to quit.
And me. I'm just coasting along. Still in that holding pattern. I suffered some major disappointment when I didn't get ANY of the promotions (there were 6 positions, and I was specifically asked to go for one and I still didn't get it WTF?!) which would've allowed me to get out of debt and possibly even move out of the house. I had started making plans, too, which is always a mistake. Jewels and I were going to share the apartment she's got, and have a grand time being single girls. Well, that's out.
So I'm hurt and angry that I didn't get those jobs (I would've kicked ass at one of them, and was less enthusiastic about the other but I still could've done it), and I'm trying not to let it affect my work at the library. But we'll see.
Sirens in October. Then my birthday right after that. Then follows my personal new year, where I will take stock of all that has happened before and see what I want with the next year of my life.
Then, of course, November is NaNo and I am MLing again this year. It's going to be an interesting month.
Phew!
