The crazy pills kicked in...
...so I started to make some major life changes once I regained my sanity.
By the way, without insurance, my sanity costs $400 per month. $398.49 at COSTCO for 30 days of pills. OMG. (ETA: I do still have Mik's insurance though so it was only $25, but still... I need a good job with some damn good bennies I guess!)
Anyway, I kind of rushed back here without a real, concrete plan. I wanted people to think I was doing the right thing, advancing myself, going to school, etc. I've always spent way too much time caring what other people might think of me. School was making me want to rip my hair out and I'm in a ton of financial trouble right now and couldn't find part-time work.
So, I dropped out and am looking for full-time work, because I can make 1.5 times what I was making in Spokane. Which is significant.
I currently am in with 3 staffings companies, one of which is trying to set me up as a temp until I find something permanent. I have applications in with all the major banks and credit unions for management and collections jobs, apps in with all the hospitals for finance/admin/collections jobs, apps in with the big oil companies for office jobs and one really cool reservationist job with Conoco, etc. All in all I probably have over 20 lines out in the water, waiting for a bite, and I keep adding to the list each day. I'm hoping for the best, because I think I deserve it for once.
Everything else is going great. Just need to find a new apartment to move into in January when my lease is up. I kind of hate the one I'm in now and am dreaming of someplace that isn't in the "hood."
Hope you all are doing equally excellent. Sorry I'm still a bad LJer. I've become an awesome Facebooker though!
