(no subject)
I keep meaning to do a reasonably lengthy post saying what I've been up to and how things are going, but I keep running into the wall of laziness. I have trouble formulating a long passage stating my thoughts when it's so much easier to post them piecemeal on Facebook. Regardless, this won't be lengthy enough to cover everything, but it'll give some ideas.
I can't say my life is shit, but nor can I say that things are going great. The job is fine, though I can't say I enjoy it as much as poker. My favorite days, as usual, are the ones where I get to take thousands of dollars from the high-limit players (it occurs that this might be some latent anger issues, but I doubt it), but even that sucks because it means I don't contribute to the tip pool, which hurts my take-home. Overall, I'm just kind of getting tired of the job. I have no real reason to complain, it's decent money for fairly little work, but it's just not where I want to be right now.
Speaking of jobs, I'm about to do something I really don't want to do - get a second job (and the reason I don't want to isn't even because of having to work more; it's more some philosophical issues with my motivation). I've been submitting some apps, but my schedule at work is about to change, and I don't want to submit anymore apps until I know what it is going to be, which could be a few weeks. I'm not particularly excited about getting another job (it's going to even further kill what meager social life I already have), but I have to. My current job pays well enough to keep up with my bills, but if I'm going to accomplish some of the things I have planned, keeping up isn't an option; I have to get ahead.
And as far as the social front goes, I've been hanging out a bit, but not as much as I'd like. There was a brief, strong interest in a girl, but I was a bit too slow to act, and now that boat has sailed. She's still a cool chick, though, and I hope to become better friends with her. Beyond that, life is life and people are people (so why should it be you and I get along so awfully? Sorry, the line demanded to be completed).
So, that's the generals. Any questions?
Edit: Huh, guess that was a reasonably lengthy post.
