Back for a visit
Sorry, LJ. It's been forever. I haven't posted here in a long time because Facebook is so EASY and this seems like more of a commitment.
Moved to tacoma, bought a house, got married, Elder kid moved out, younger kid is gay and dating a trans girl, and the cat and dog are still assholes.
Currently working on lots of crochet projects on the bus/train ride to and from work. I made a shitton of dragon gloves and sent them to friends for christmas. I have a long queue so it will probably be after xmas when I finish all of them. In the queue, Hat for Andy (at work), Squid Hat for Tim, Dragon gloves for Tim and Danny's girlfriend Riley.
Here's something meaty:
I drink too much. I should probably stop. I think I will go dry in January and if I'm not able to do it, I am going to seek help. Probably not AA because I don't get into the whole god thing but maybe.
I would really love to be able to drink sometimes, I'm not ready to give it up completely but I might have to. In Finland they have a drug that blocks the dopamine response so it makes drinking less enjoyable, but isn't the stuff that makes you throw up.
Job: It's great, I am usually busy and I have a lot to do. A couple people above me left (Software Dev Manager and Product Manager) so I've been asking for title change since I am effectively scrum master and Software Dev manager and also QA supervisor. I want the MANAGER title. I don't care about the raise. The office would be nice. We'll see if I get it.
Love life: Wonderful as always although I pissed off Tim this morning when I made a hand signal as he was running a red light. I think he forgave me.
I think I need to listen to more music and watch less TV.
