Long Post Warning!!
Alright. I know it's been a while since my last REAL post, but hey, I got places to go and people to do.
^___^
Anyways, here's a quick update on what's been going on in the past couple of months:
Missy and I are still doing fine. Still married (happily) . Having normal money issues, but getting those under control. We actually have BIG NEWS plans, but they are "Top Secret" for the time being. Dont worry though, we'll let everyone know soon hopefully.
Work is still work. I get paid almost $20 an hour to sit on my ass and surf the Internet (in actuallity I am Tier 2 tech support at Comcast, but working overnights there is not much to do). It's decent enough money, but being bored most of the time is getting on my damned nerves. Here in about 3 weeks I am going to try and transfer out of this department. Hopefully into the NOC or someplace.
I got some vacation time approved for July 12th-16th, and 19th-20th (July 10th-11th and 17th-18th are my normal days off). Which leaves me a 11 day vacation. I'm not actually going anywhere though. My folks are going on a cruise to Alaska and wanted someone to watch the house and the animals. So, Missy and I are going to be staying there and instead of spending crazy money to commute from Aurora every day it made more sense to take those days off and just stay there. Mom is hooking us up with a stocked fridge, as well as movie passes and restaraunt passes (plus Ren Fair tickets), so it really is going to be KINDA like a vacation. Who says you have to go to some tropical beach for a vacation? ^__^
Trying to keep my aggression issues under control. It's hard sometimes though. I can feel them under my skin at all times, just waiting for the catalys to set them free. I know I should see a therapist, but one of my greatest fears is getting put on some medications that will make me not me. I know, I probably read too much Orwell when I was younger, but I really am paranoid that people are trying to tear away my individuality. However I do want children eventually, and I would love to be a good role model for them and not be someone who punches the refridgerator (or some other hard metal surface) when stress levels build too high.
A little side note from work: we are doing a potluck here on Sunday night for all of us overnight folks, and I an cooking up some crockpot apple cider pork ribs. My family has already been my guinea pigs and they approve. If you are interested in them just shoot me a message and I'll email you the recipie (it's one of the only creations I have bothered to write down. Mostly I keep the recipies in my head). So this will be the first time I have opened somethign I put together to a general audience. I'm a little nervous, but cant back out now.
So anyways, now we are all caught up to current events. Hopefully it wont be so long between this and my next post.
