Clarity

Apr 28, 2005 22:33

I think its time i clear a few things up.

Since the beginning of the year i have taken on more responsibilty at work, i have taken on more hours and i have taken 80% of the fun out of what my life use to be.

The past few months i have since this started missed out of group outings, lost things precious to me, and been a complete ass to someone that gave me more joy than i deserved.

However i found out tonight that some things were not as clear as i was under the impression they were. So to clear these things up im going to express the truth here.

Now that im a full time inspector for my firm i average 25+ hours overtime a week. I drive on average 18 hours a week for work. I spend most of my early mornings and nights on the road, between here and Callaway Gardens. My job right now is very important to me, as important as the college is to the group of people i hang out with. This job is the direct link to what my future will hold. So yes i have put it ahead of my life for the past 4 months. The group im speaking of ,and they know who they are, has seen me more since january than my family has. And that includes the fact that my mother has undergone 3 surgeries in the past 2 months, my sister is having complications with her baby and my little sister's fiance broke off the engagement. Out of all that, the times that i wanted nothing more than to be there for my family i couldnt be. And for those in the group you should all know how much family means to me, so hope you understand just from that statement how busy i have been. Also it is a very ruff time of the year for me. So much has happened in the past near the beginning of the year that i have a hard time dealing with it. So yes work gave me a way to forget it. So i wrapped myself in it and welcomed the shelter from life. Also there has been some rumor and i wont lie and say its all false about me going out a lot. I will say this, i did have about a 2 or 3 week period where i went out every night. Now by every night i mean, i would come home and someone rather it by my roommate or my cousin or my uncle would say something about going to grab a beer or a drink at sues.. Normally this would be dinner and a drink.. Since i hadnt eaten all day i would normally go and it turned into a habbit for a while.. then it too like everything else that was fun and enjoyable stopped... I cant help it if i havent been able to hang out with you guys, or that you didnt completly understand why i wasnt able too.. But perhaps we should have adressed it before and sat down and talked about it before people assumed everything.. But hey shit happens.. I just hope this clears it up.
