Last time on My Life As A Bird:
Well, when we left our heroes (or, y'know, me):
a) I had a shitty ass job that paid shiftily and left me exhausted after working 30 hours a week,
b) I was depressed,
c) I was broke and living with my parents.
I'm still broke and living with my parents, but that's because I haven't gotten my first paycheck from my new job yet. The new checklist looks something like this:
a) I'm an apprentice network engineer for a small tech company. They pay me $14/hour and don't care that I have no qualifications or knowledge whatsoever to start out with'
b) I'm still somewhat depressed, but suspect I've been quietly developing a definite anxiety problem. Intrusive thoughts about all the terrible things that could happen at any moment... don't seem normal,
c) I'm super stressed out and exhausted, partly from trying to Learn All The Things as fast as possible, but also because
d) My car is almost certainly going to the Great Highway In The Sky after getting totaled in my very first non-deer-related accident, but luckily
e) While my car is trashed, I made it out with a slightly sore neck.
