I assure you, I am still alive.
This may come as a disappointment to many, but I am still alive, despite many efforts by my employer to encourage suicidal tendencies.
As an update from my last journal entry a little over 9 months ago... Nothing has really changed. My girlfriend and I are going through a bit of weirdness at the moment, but I think we'll get through things and be better off for it in the long term.
I still work for Wal-Mart, they're still screwing people over, so much so that recently I've made a strong effort to apply to many (any) job postings I can find that are related to the printing industry. I really need a job that involves using my brain, this "retail" thing makes my brain turn to pudding, and after 3.5 years all I've got left is a little bit of butterscotch between my ears.
Yesterday I even found a job posting for a place in Pittsburgh. I'd really like to hear back from them. Although I only lived there for a few months, I fell in love with Pittsburgh and would move back in a second, and this place is actually only a few blocks away from where I used to live.
Of all the places I've applied to across the country the last few weeks, this is the one place I may actually call for a follow up. I don't know how I'd manage to move my ass down there, and with the stuff going on between my girlfriend and I, I don't know if she'd come with me, but we both need a change and this would be a good move for her and is what I've been wanting to do since I left PA 9.5 years ago.
Damn I am getting old. Was it really nine and a half years ago?... It was?... damn it.
