Life is too expensive
I've been really busy, mostly with work. I have two jobs now, I'm still a barista at Starbucks and I'm also working at Staples (which is even worse). If you don't know what Staples is, it's kind of like Office Depot except smaller. I work in the copy center so I do crazy jobs for teachers and businesses, stuff like that. I got really shitty training there so people always come to me with jobs I don't know how to do and I just wing it or pretend we're out of what they need. The customer service there is horrible too, people like bitch at the customers and everything.
I remember when I would go to the store with my mom when I was a little kid, I would see people sitting behind the photo lab and stuff like that, and that would be like the boring adult world that I never wanted to be a part of. The other day this Asian lady was shopping for school supplies with her two little kids and they were playing around with stuff and they looked at me, and I realized that now I'm in that world. What a sad moment to realize how depressing work can be. The police test is less than two months away, I'm sure I'll do well enough on the test, I just hope they hire me after that.
Living here has been very expensive, but also rewarding. I've made pretty good friends out of most of my roommates and have enjoyed the city life, even the really long subway commutes. I'm in love with my girlfriend more than ever, it's great living (sort of) near her.
I should start playing World of Warcraft again, since I am paying for it, but I don't really have time for that. Most of my time off, which is getting more and more rare, is spent hanging out with my girlfriend or just relaxing after working hard all day.
Keep in touch, all of you. I'm still around online quite a bit, mostly at night.
