Changes happen
I rarely look at this anymore. Lots has changed since the last entry.
I went back to school in 2012. I got a job in 2015 while still going to school.
That job went bankrupt/ was bought out about a year and a half later. I spent 6 months unemployed. Then I started working at Amazon.
Things have changed dramatically for the better in my life. I now can afford to live on my own without roommates. I make all my bills. I have money in savings (not as much as I'd like but still enough to make it through an unexpected expense).
I've been promoted technically 3 times since I started that job. The first was going from seasonal to full time so technically not a real promotion. I'm a manager now, about to launch a new building. My 4 year anniversary with the company is the first week of next month. My building launches 2 weeks later. I'm excited and terrified at the same time.
I've also left Texas for Ohio for this promotion. I have been needing, or feeling I needed, a fresh start for a few years now. The only thing that held me back was a relationship that lasted 3 years and then failed last year. I never hid my impending move, but the ex said he felt blindsided by it when it happened. Not my fault he doesn't pay attention. Not my fault he didn't realize my moving away was a real possibility when I got the promotion. And he said he wanted me in his life still, just not in a relationship. Guess it's his loss not mine.
But that's the gist of things. My kitties and I moved 1000 miles to get a fresh start. My job is great and while I'm sad about the people I left behind it's what I needed to do for me.
