Hello,
I apologise for the amount of ignoring LJ I've done since August. You're all wonderful and I really do want to keep in touch.
Life's been crazy. I don't have much time before I pick up Kat from work and go shopping for Christmas decorations for the house with her, but I will try to get something of an update out.
First, I am once again employed. This is BIG and I'm very excited. I'm going to be working at Grand Floral starting Monday. I'm going to have a set schedule, which is a luxury I haven't had in quite awile. They seem really nice and really busy. I suppose I should mention how it is I ended up unemployed for everyone out of the loop, which is most. I lost my job at La Petite for cleanliness issues and being late after rectifying what attendence issues I previously had. Pretty much there was alot of management changes and the college student that had become my supervisor didn't approve of a mess for the sake of speed, and I'd worked on it, but I had two lovely funeral pieces and a couple other orders one morning and not long to do it all in and I guess that was the final straw. It doesn't matter. It's all over now. No more being broke and scared (my unemployment was denied) and feeling like I was failing at the area of my life I am best at.
Living with five of my closest friends has been interesting. It means I don't get out as much as I did before because the people I usually get out with are here. It also means feeling like living in a soap opera or real world episode from time to time. It's been a little hard. I've battled some depression and frustrated the fuck out of people and am doing better, but am still far from perfect. The biggest difficulty has been old insecurities of not being wanted or needed or appreciated or missed coming back. And of course many people dealt with it by not being around when I was in a bad place, so that compounded the problem. I know everyone acts in the best of intentions and I've been doing much better at remembering that. I've also not been a huge downer lately so that's helped. I'm intending on using this as more of a blog or journal, doing daily updates and the like. People around here get sick of hearing me bitch so I need a better outlet.
Hey roomies . . . what is your opinions on me bitching about things that may include you here? Will it equal drama? Do you want it filtered and to never see it? Is it potentially a good way to get my perspective and deal with it later? What are your concerns/reactions likely to be ect. and what can I do to help keep things smooth? I want to know and comply.
