Me: "This post is Whack..."
LJ-land: "Wiggity Whack?"
Me: "No, just the regular kind."
I haven't posted a whole lot this month... which is kind of unusual for me. I would like to say it was because I had some sort of life... but that wouldn't be true. I Have been fairly busy here lately... but not in the good way for the most part. Since it would take too long to go in-depth recalling the past couple weeks... I'll just do a quick recap.
1: Bergners has been slow for the most part. Only getting one truck a week in for the past couple weeks. It's made for some sucky paychecks thats for sure. To pour salt into the financial wound... BonTon (the company that bought the Saks division) won't let anyone take Vacations in January any more. I usually took a vacation in January to help offset the almost certain paycheck cuts. Oh well, at least things seem to be picking up again.
2: One job that I wished wouldn't have picked up a lot is taking care of Richard for the DORS program. Earlier this month he was diagnosed with mild diabetes. Which sucks for him, but was his own damn fault since he knew he was borderline for a while and continued to eat crap. So he has been cranky, depressed, and fairly abusive here lately because I am trying to keep him on a diabetic friendly diet (Which he is sticking to for the most part). And now I have to now test his blood once a day to measure his blood sugar and make notes and logs of everything for the dietician that is counciling him. The worst part of all though is that I am now doing about 4 to 6 hours extra work a week now AND NOT GETTING PAID FOR ANY OF IT! I have jokingly referred to it as keeping "Job Security", but it still sucks. Hopefully in a month or so when DORS has it's re-evaluation of his needs, I will get a few more hours and hopefully a bigger paycheck.
3: But that, combined with financial woes, nasty weather, car problems (still), being a bit lonely, COMBINED with seasonal depression have made a recipe for a really bad case of depression (quasi-suicidal bad) that I am now finally getting over.
4: Part of the reason I am feeling a little better is due to getting a little bit of money. Still not enough to pay all the bills and take care of everything that needs fixing, but at least it is better than nothing. And now that I have my W2 forms, and an unexpected check, hopefully I will be doing okay financially soon and will be able to start paying my brother back some of the loan he gave me.
5: I also have been trying to keep my mind occupied and have been working on my role-playing system a lot here lately. I almost got the revision and reformating done on it. So I will feel much better when that is over with.
Well, thats about it... Might go over to my friends Joe and Karens to hang out tomorrow night and maybe have a Superbowl Party there Sunday, but we'll have to see what happens here. I'm not a big fan of football or of either team, but it might be fun.
