time keeps on ticking
I haven't posted on this in forever. With all the things going on in my life I should get back into writing about things. It was nice to have that release ages ago, and makes sense to get back into writing again.
I still have far more wants than haves in my life. I still have relationship woes, which are only getting more and more complicated. Of course now the relationship woes consisted of another 'Jake' in my life whom things have been going back and forth with for the last 2 years now. The last time I saw him I told him "I love you, but I hate the way you make me feel sometimes." It's true. He says he loves me, but....sometimes I wonder if it's just a ploy at being emotionally manipulative.
On another note, I discovered another reason why my marriage didn't work out...my ex-husband is no longer living life as a 'he' but instead now as a 'she'. Trippy. We talked briefly about it, and while it was an out of left field surprise for me it explains a lot.
School is going well enough. I finished out 2 associates degrees and am looking to try to figure out how to afford the next step in schooling. Going for a bachelors in Computer Engineering I finally decided. If I can afford it, and get into the school that is local that has the degree program I'm starting that path in the fall.
Work wise, things are...confusing at the moment. The job is good, I'm doing great having worked there for not quite 6 months now and having gotten 4 raises since starting. It's the other things going on in the company that are...well, feeling more and more iffy of late. It's a small company and let's just say our founder...not the wisest guy in the world is the mutual feeling. We were supposed to open a second store in Jan for the local market and well, we are still 2 months out at least from opening it because he couldn't make up his mind or was going over budget on the whole thing. Or so we have been told.
In other news, I have been working more and more on my photography. How? Last semester and this semester I took/am taking a photography class. First reason was to learn how to work my Konica Minolta Maxum 5D better, now it's to learn my new Olympus OMD- EM10. Yep, finally made the leap and upgraded my camera. So very happy with the choice, while it's not as advanced in MP rating, it holds its ground fairly well next to the big pro cameras people I know are using. I've got the kit lens, a med zoom lens, and plan on getting a flash and macro adapter next for it. Been doing a ton of event photography of late at the club and getting a ton of great shots. Hell, even made a facebook page for my photography. Hmm, I should link that on my profile on here when I get a chance. But yea, lots of pictures, building a portfolio, and maybe if I am lucky, I can start sneaking in some paid work with the camera during my spare time.
Okay, enough typing for now. In the last year my wrist has become a weather predictor for rain and it's acting up again....yippie. One day I will have money again and be able to get it looked at and possibly find out what is really wrong with it and if I am lucky get it fixed. Until then...I suffer.
