I'm tired.
So very tired.
There is too much to cover since I last posted here, so here is what has been going on lately....
I was laid off of my job at Griffin Technology in June. I was receiving unemployment, but still managed to miss getting the total for my rent, which set up some friction with the current roommate. I managed to get a contract-to-hire position at mid-sized company here in Nashville, but the termed my contract early. I was told it wasn't due to my skillset, but rather I wasn't a good "cultural" fit.
My rommate comes home from her Caribbean cruise to find out I don't have a job AGAIN. She is stressed.
I have been looking for a job, but end of fiscal year is never a good time. My staffers get me leads and submit me for stuff, but the leads go cold. This can become a soul-draining exercise. My mother and sister have helped me out with rent for the past couple of months. Something I'm not happy about, but grateful for.
Roommate tells me today via facebook messenger that my unemployment has her stressed, and that I have some issues she's not comfortable with. She doesn't want to ask me to change them because that wouldn't be fair to me. So, if I don't have a gig by the end of January, she's going to break lease and move out (we're both on the lease). Looks like I need to find a new roommate. Barring that, I may be able to move in with my sis temporarily. BUT...if roomie thinks I'm going to cover half the early term fee for BOTH of us having to leave, she's daft.
There are many more details. I just don't have the energy to put it all in one post.
I have left you, my LJ. More than once. Please forgive me.
But I need to put my thoughts and feelings down somewhere other than fucking Facebook. It's a soulless feed of shit. Recycled memes and outrage. I seek your haven. I need to practice writing long form again. I need to reconnect with all of you.
The Prodigal Son has returned.
Will you have me back?
