(no subject)
I know I haven't been really updating, and truth be told I've been floating in a sort of emotional limbo. Over Thanksgiving, I went to visit my parents without my sister, and getting away drove home the fact that I need to move out; while I myself havven't had stressful situations, she and her boyfriend have been fighting lately. It certainly doesn't help them that I'm living in their house, and the stress that they're experiencing is transferring to me, and totally draining me.
So basically, I'm once again moving within the next month, and in order to do so, I need to find yet another job. I've only been working three days a week, and I was furious when I realized that I was making more working half as many hours as a tipped employee than I did working thirty-some hours at minimum wage, consdering tipped employees in the United States only get an hourly of $2.50. Injustice in the world and all that. Luckily, the restaurant I'm currently at is apparently a neighborhood staple, so it shouldn't be too bad.
In the meantime, I have to break it to a certain friend that I'm finding an apartment on my own, instead of waiting for her.
On top of this, the screen to my computer broke, and it's totally useless without it. At least I was able to save the files before I sent it off to be repaired for a small fortune. That, and I still have my old laptop, which I'm currently typing on. It's a little slow, but I won't complain. It's still a decent computer.
Basically, every time I think I have all my ducks in a row, and I turn around and one of those fuckers waddles off. But I'll get it right, sooner or later.
P.S. LJ, please stop changing your posting format. It's hard for those of us who want to come back eventually...
