For those of you who read this (or don't; it's inconsequential to me), it's time for a good ol' fashioned update. It seems my posts on MySpace aren't as receptive as they were on LiveJournal....but then again LiveJournal is diary based so one can't expect much.
I love my job as a resteraunt manager. After so many years of blood, sweat tears and everything else that goes along with it; I feel as though I'm finally in a good place with things. Since I started working again I have not once complained about my job or wished I could just "take the day off".....and actually done it. Regardless, I work anywhere between 50 and 65 hours a week and it bothers me not one bit. It's good income, benefits, oppourtunity for advancement.....not to mention I've been there less than 6 months and I already got an $.80 raise! It's chill. I take pride in my job. I think I'll ride with this one for a while.
In terms of everything else for the first time in years I feel almost completely at peace in my life. Everything is going so fucking good right now I can't even begin to fathom the whys or hows of it. Even with some hard situations chasing me throughout, (Paternal abandonment, being left to face a rent payment I can't afford, becoming Head of Household and supporting my mother while we try to figure out how to get out of a bind that made official by the Paternal abandonment.....) for some reason it's not worrying me like everything else worry's me. There are no words to even describe how relieving that feels. I'm happy because I have an awsome job and good money coming in to stay alive. I've taken control of my finances and my credit score is happy for it. I'm in the company of a good close circle of friends and a boyfriend who care about me and who have stuck by my side and put up with alot of my shit and temper tantrums over the past few months.
For once I don't feel like complaining about life and what isn't happening or what isn't there. For once in the longest time I feel like everything's going to be alright and I have taken back control over my life! I've developed an awsome friendship with my employees; some of whom I've also friended on MySpace.
Call me a fruitcup or whatever, but I am in such a positive state of mind. My only hope is that it lasts. I look forward to the New Year and the things to come. It is so unbelievably refreshing to be at peace with one's self.
Aaaahhh. Give me a few days and I'll probably be back to my usual, manic-depressive self and looking to piss all of you off. Of course I'm going to hope not.
Yay!
