Hey y'all!
Been a while, I know. I was sitting here thinking this morning that I have to come back to a certain site that has always been fun to hang out at.
But, why was I gone so long? Well, I'll tell you.
2009 was the start of it. I lost my house and things seemed to start to spiral downward. I started to close off a lot of hobbies that I had and really just do nothing but stew. I moved into a rental and for three years got harassed almost daily by an emotionally unstable landlady. That had t stop. So I moved again, and managed to find a place that seemed solid.
Well, things at work started to deteriorate. I had some issues with a manager who made it his daily goal to find fault with me and publicly humiliate me. Well, I got transferred, and left a few months later. During that time my car blew a head gasket on the way home. So, I was stuck driving my wife's gas hog 80 miles each day.
But the good part? When I left, I was able to raid my 401K and finance my way through school. I start my first IT gig in a few weeks as soon as the security clearance is finished. Yup. I'll be working a help desk at the post office. Add that to the fact that I scored a Jeep for almost nothing to replace my car, and I have to say things are starting to look up. I even get to head to a local grocery store check on a part time job I wanted. 40 hours a week at the post office means I can work about 15-20 hours at the grocery store to have some play around money.
I'm also going to see if my oldest wants to start hanging out here. He's glued to the 360 most days anyway. I'm gonna upgrade to the new one when this one gives up the ghost.
I'm going to lurk around a bit before I really jump back in.
