I'm at a giant crossroads in my life honestly.
I came back to work today after an extra day in Seattle and a day of travel home. And work... fucking sucks. In the week since I went on vacation management has somehow conspired to add even more extraneous shit for us to do to make THEIR jobs easier but adding responsibility to us. I only make fucking nine dollars an hour, dude. The people working at a burger place in Seattle make fucking sixteen. It's bananas.
And it's a big, head spinningly crazy community out there with my sister and her coven of friends. They tell me I'm welcome to stay and find a job. And honestly Seattle left a mark on me. I can't quite get it out of my mind. I got back on the plane to come home, but then I get to work and I'm like, my God why.

I can't quite get it out of my mind. I got back on the plane to come home, but then I get to work and I'm like, my God why. Oh man, when we got back from our vacation in Cali and Mexico a few months ago, we had 3 weeks before we closed on our house, and between the ouse and work after getting back, it doesn't feel like we went on vacation at all, so I kind of know that feeling. I'm ready for some more PTO for sure! What's the cost of living difference between there and where you currently are? $16/hr at a burger joint still probably doesn't get them much in Seattle? Before I met my wife, I was kind of in the same boat, though, and was thinking of getting out of Kansas, but didn't have the luxury of family in other states to stay with to get my feet on the ground, but I had seriously considered heading west, or up northeast. Whatever decision you make, I'm sure things will end up working out. But if you don't have any attachments where you're at now, and a new area is calling and you have a support system already in place to help you get settled... why not?

Cost of living differences or not, there isn't any job I'd do for $9 an hour. That's just way too low...heh, actually I'm unemployed as of yesterday and STILL wouldn't take a job for under $12, but up here that's the going, starting rate.
Go back to Seattle. Have an adventure. If anything, at least you'll make more money for a little bit.

Well no, sixteen still wouldnt get me very far there either. Cost of living, in the city at least was apparently expensive (can thank Amazon for that, it seems) but my sister has sent me links to jobs starting at 20-25 an hour and that's a hell of a start. It is something I've given a lot of thought about since going back to work. 😐

Well... shit is interesting at the moment to say the least.
So around about 3 weeks ago my contract got terminated. I've been doing odd jobs and freelance stuff since but I am still trying to find a decent job that will take me on full time.
I came out of hospital yesterday after having surgery for a ruptured eardrum. I've had ear infections in both my ears that have completely wrecked me these past few days and, while I'm glad it's done, It has still knocked me for six. I've felt even more sucky than usual today.
And, as I suspected, I've also been diagnosed with depression. I've been prescribed with anti depressants but there is no way in hell I am going to start on those.
Instead, I've taken on a more proactive approach. I went for a run, did some things around the house and genuinely tried to keep myself busy away from the Xbox and Internet in general.
I'll be making a lot of changes to my personal life in the coming days/weeks. I'm not going to give up writing as I find it is a great release. But I'm certainly going to cut down. Not here obviously, but certainly from other feds that I'm in.
Things suck. But things are fine. If that makes sense

Well, I could barely get out of bed this morning, so there's that... and as much as I can say that I'll "never play in another softball tournament that could potentially have me play 5+ games again in 1 day", that's probably not the case. But still, 5 games (could have been 4 more had we not lost) in 1 day was brutal. Yard work yesterday to try and loosen up and stuff only made it worse, and kicked up the allergies on top of it all.
Trying to get my RP done today is going to be interesting, as I kind of just want to sit on the couch while working from home and catch up on TV shows and such.

Figured I'd leave this right here.
So I've been seeing this girl for some time now. She phoned me up at 1.00am in the morning in tears saying that her Mum has been taken I'll and is in Intensive Care with a blood clot on her lung. She asked me to take her into the hospital so she could see her.
I said that it would be unlikely that she would be able to see her Mum at such an early stage of going in to Intensive Care. As it was, I was right, but she still wanted me to stay with her. Of course, I couldn't say no.
Her mum helped me find some bar work after my last contract was terminated and is genuinely a lovely lady. I've been at her side for much of this morning.
I had about 25% of my RP done but it was drive and drabs and would have made no coherent sense. Apologies again to Gerard Angelo and the match writers. No need to make Malone look strong at all. He's something of a joke character anyway.

I'm sorry Dom. I truly hope she'll be on the mend. She sounds like an awesome lady.
I hope that you feel better, man.

That really bums me out. Sorry you're going through that; you've always been genuinely nice to me, even though we barely know each other, so I consider you a friend. All in all, when it comes down to it, you know you really can't feel bad about choosing to spend time with the people you care about rather than put in all your effort into pretendy fun time wrestling. I hope she pulls through.

Thanks guys. Your well wishes mean a lot. I'm back at the hospital now. Still no major improvement but she's been moved out of the high observation area, which is a start!
Jukes, if you're not in Kansas this coming April for a certain wedding Imma be mad!
