So....
Things are a little crazy with me lately. Here is a crash course in whats going on.
Latest News
I got a car. There is a lady that I work with, her name is Sandy. When the train got in from my last trip, she kidnapped me and took me with her to Maryland where she lives. I told the situation that I am in lately (needing a car and a better place to stay) and the next day, after going to dealerships and finally to a guy that does "buy here, pay here" financing, I have been able to acquire a 95 Oldsmobile Achieva. Not bad.
But, there is only one little catch. Well, little isnt the right word. I found out that my TX license is revoked. I know that I have been behind in paying off fines, so I called them today to see what I could do. Turns out, there is a law in Texas that requires drivers that have certain violations to pay a surcharge for 3 years. I didnt know that. Well, I started the payment plan with them, and hopefully this will mean that I can keep the car and the insurance. Lets keep our fingers crossed.
Living Situation
Well, as I type, I am in the process of moving in with my coworker Dora. She is only charging $250 a month and I have the internet to keep me entertained. It is a bitch moving all this stuff around, but I am making due. I am happy to be out of my present living situation (not enough room/privacy).
Everything Else
I miss my fiance Brandon. Its good to know that our relationship is still going strong even though we are so far from each other. I miss Job Corps surprisingly enough. This job is not really what I expected. It seems that maybe being a part of a union isnt all it is cracked up to be. It seems that no matter what my skills are, they wont even look at me because I havent been with the company for 20+ years. This seniority shit sucks. I like what I am doing (Train Attendant), dont get me wrong. I just dont like it as much as I thought. Plus, being gone all the time is starting to get to me. I get no rest, and right now im just worn out. Plus, when I want to start my family, I dont really want to be gone all the time. Additionally, I did not just spend a year and a half in job corps getting all these certifications and experience, and the only skill that I am using here in my job that I learned from Job Corps was how to make a bed. I feel like I am being grossly underused. But, you cant beat the money. I am afraid that is why some people just wont leave this job. They hate you and they hate what they are doing, but they wont leave because they like the money too much. It almost feels like a trap. I dont know. These are just some things that are going through my head. Even with all the negative, I know this is how I felt about Job Corps when I first started. So, I am giving it more time before I pass judgment.
Sorry for rambling on so much.
If you would like to make donations to the "Virginia is too damn expensive" fund, contact me and let me know. LOL
Anyways, thats all for now.
