Forever
Friends, I'm sorry that it's been so long since I've posted.
I can't even say that 2006 was a busy year. My computer did go "kaput" though, and so it's hard to get online for anything past checking email lately.
I'm starting the New Year off in style, kinda. I'm house and dog sitting for some friends, and they have me hooked up. Free fast internet, cable, hot tub, free laundry and the MOST comfortable bed. I'm here for another 3 days.
Dana and I met in Dec. 2005, went out for a few weeks then...didn't. I wasn't feeling it. But in August... look out! Sparks flew and we got together again, and we've been together and blissful ever since. I really think I could spend much, much time with her. I can see us together in our 80's. She's incredibly good to me and I love her.
My job is on tenterhooks...I have been late several times and have accrued "points"- in other HD stores you can get positive points but not at my store. Friends who work at other HDs tell me that if "I worked at their store my job would not be in jeopardy at all". Well, I've been there 9 months, and the job is okay. The best thing about it, and the reason I took it is because of the health benefits. I can afford most of my meds now, and I'm even seeing a counselor for the depression. The prospect of not having a job very soon freaks me out since I'm so damn poor, but it is making me get my ass in gear.
I've been thinking about what I want to do for a CAREER not just a job, and have settled on working in hospitality - guest services, concierge type positions. I'm gonna work on my resume and hey, Virginia Beach is a good place to start. So, that's what I'll be working on in the near future, getting a position with benefits at a hotel.
I'm all talked out at the moment. I do want you to know, I do read LJ so keep on writing. Talk to you all!
