It's a Cruel World and I'm a Lucky Boy
It's been a while, clearly. I can't say that much has happened, but updates are in order, I think.
Work is going splendidly. I was having some trouble in earlier months; it didn't feel as satisfying as I think it should and the good workers were being blamed for bad worker's lack of productivity. It seems that it's taken a turn, though. At least, I think people are stressing about it less now, which, as per usual, equals less stress for Steven.
PS- Got 80 hours of work on tomorrow's paycheck AND holiday pay. Score.
I got to talk to Laura Sanders the other day! We were both online and it was like "I know that screenname..." and next thing I know, there she is ^_^ Apparently, she's in Chicago now and thoroughly enjoying it. I feel like I'll have to try and visit her and Kent down there sometime. Come to think of it, I still have to go see Mommy at some point, too ^_^ I'm thinking my trip downstate will have to consist of a trip to Chicago, too =P
I'm spending less time at Kristie and Danara's. It's sad, but I still try and go when I can. I got my Alin an early Christmas present in the form of an automatic litter cleaner. it was kinda for Kristie and Danara, too, so they won't be worried about it as much. Really, though, it was kind of a pain. It came with a switch that wasn't properly connected, so it didn't ever stop. The good news is that's part of my mom's job description, so she fixed it. Also showed me how to repair it. So, if you ever need a simple switch wire sodered on, I can help =P
Tuesday marks a major financial turn for me. My Kohls card will be completely payed off, which leaves me with two bills to pay for a few months until they're paid off ^_^ Yay! So, saving money should start getting easier and I should start to see the results and have some pride in myself.
And, as per usual, I have a crush. And it's dumb. It really is. Because, once again, he's straight. So I'm doing my damndest to not make it awkward. He's adorable. He's funny. We've got similar interests (gaming, music, etc.) But, he's straight. We're both going to Northern next fall, so we can keep up our rapport, or whatever it is that we have. We go running together and occasionally work together. He's a great guy. But he's straight. Damn. The good news is a great friendship can come of this if I can get over it, lol. And I think that's what I'll have in the end.
All in all, I have a good life. I have a job in the county with the second highest unemployment in the US (second to a county in California), I have friends that care about me, and a family that takes care of me. This chapter of my life is going pretty well. Here's hoping I will be as blessed in the next.
Peace.
