Hey guys, how has everyone been?

[The Hunter]

Today my boyfriend mentioned in passing the possibility of us eventually moving in together within the next two years and it totally freaked me out. Not because I wouldn't want to, but because I'm a psychotically territorial perfectionist and love having my own space. I can't imagine blending my stuff with his stuff. But it would be nice to not be alone all the time.
Grown-up decisions are tough.

:idea: You should have separate bedrooms and divide the living room down the middle.

Or maybe get Lucy and Ricky beds. But if you like your space, separate room would be the best way to go.

Lol. I don't mind sleeping in the same bed, that's actually the most pleasant part! My main concern is how much of a slob my boyfriend can be when left to his own devices, where I'm more of an "everything in it's place" kind of girl. Also 99% of my stuff is pink. Or Hello Kitty. And I'll be DAMNED if he asks me to get rid of any of it.
My dream is to have my own separate room as a studio space. But in New York APARTMENTS ARE EXPENSIVE.

currently I'm working on a bunch of projects on self improvement. Right now I'm trying to figure our how to balance all the hours together to make it work so I don't .

 

[Mourning Dove]

I just filled out a whole bunch of job applications. Like hell will I work over the holidays at my current job for the 5th straight year, where they don't pay overtime/holiday and just overwork me so the asshole of a CEO can just get richer to buy more private islands and 20-year-old bimbos to fuck.

Yeah I'm going to a job fair tomorrow as well so I can go get outta the restaurant business. I might have to take a 9 week programming boot camp.

Anyways good love dove, hope you get something soon. May we both NOT end up lik opl

I'm thinking of going back to school so I can get some certifications so I don't have to take terrible jobs with people I hate.

Do you work in retail? That "the store is going to open at 6pm on Thanksgiving evening" bullshit stores have been doing recently really angers me. I was ok with the stores opening at 10 or midnight, but opening during the time most people eat dinner? come on.

My day feels decent. Trying to type a ten page research paper but I feel I can only reach seven to maybe 8 pages. I honestly wish I knew more of what I'm typing but somehow I feel like saying screw it since I feel I might just drag my grade down for it. If this is what I have to expect from a university then maybe I should assume fetal position and start crying.

I work in the entertainment industry, specifically a privately owned movie theater company that has become a monopoly in my city. On Thanksgiving and Christmas this movie theater is apparently the only place open in my city, so everyone in town has to go to it. Also on Black Friday everyone likes to drop their grandparents and children off so they can go shopping. And after several years of working at this place I'm still barely paid over minimum wage...

If you don't mind me asking, what's the research on?

I went to one of my favorite restaurants tonight and they placed me in a corner and ignored me after they brought my meal. I didn't get a refill on my drink and I had to go up to the counter when I wanted to pay and leave. I've gotten the feeling they've been increasingly ignoring me. I gave half the tip I usually do.

I'm not going to eat in there anymore, but I'll get carryout.

Other than that downer, I've been pretty good. My goals are to go to the gym, complete the next course in my pharmacy tech training, study Spanish and read. I've been doing pretty well with my goals. I also attend Toastmasters meetings on Thursday and one Saturday a month.

I'm also thinking about learning how to write a novel, or at least short stories, learning how to draw (I bought "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" back in April), and learning how to cook, esp. Mexican and Chinese, so I won't always have to go out and get a meal. There are other things I want to learn, but I don't have the money for them now.

I've been feeling pretty good lately, so no real complaints. And yes, I have a lot of free time.

It's on the political, social, and economic factors concerning the origins of early American expansion from a book called Dangerous Nation by Robert Kagan. The paper is focused on the first chapter with its sub-topics because it is focusing on early imperialist. First sub-topic is on the Puritans.

oh you guys. I could be wrong, and I hope I am, but I think I saw my old boss at the target today in my hometown*. She was on the phone, and the way she dressed and sounded was exactly like her, I didn't see a face though. I dashed around her as she was looking at the makeup.

I was so scared that I was going to run into her again in the store. I mean what if she tried to be nice to me? I think I would have said, "oh, ever since you let me go for bs reasons, and treated me like dirt, I've been unemployed and on the brink of going insane for 2 years. Thanks a lot!" I stayed my butt in grocery for a while.

* there's a big community college nearby, she could've been there for a financial aid tyrants meeting

oh i start my counseling sessions tomorrow.

Good luck with that! I got let go from a job a few months ago for absolute bullshit reasons (I worked at Sears and got canned after only 14 working days--it turns out that Sears is a bit notorious for that sort of thing) and I had already left my previous job. It really fucked with my self-esteem. I'd never been let go from a job before, and I've been consistently employed since I was 15! I actually talked to a therapist because I was that depressed over it. But now I've found a job that I love, and I wish that I had done this three years ago when I first got out from the military. As I posted above, I'm thinking about going back to school specifically for this job so I can--hopefully--leave some of the bullshit behind.

I know that it sounds cheap coming from a stranger on the internet, but hang in there. Go to your counseling. Challenge yourself, but know your limits. Stick with your treatment plan. It gets better.

 

[Mourning Dove]

So I have a job interview tomorrow for a position as a grocery store deli clerk. This is my first real job interview since my older brother helped me get my first and current pitiful job as a movie theater employee. Overall I'm nervous of any possibilities and hardships this job may have if I get it. What if it's somehow worse than my current one?

 

[c-no]

Only had one class today since the other one had been cancelled for the rest of the day. The worst thing that happened was missing the bus home twice within a few seconds. Lucky I caught a third one that came one minute later. I wonder what kept these buses from being on schedule.

 

[Trombonista]

Today my dad taught me how to make his special pasta sauce. I also put some books in a box in the crawlspace.

 

[Da Pickle Monsta]

Had to leave work early due to my back pain.

 

[Bob's Fries]

Had a long day at school. Chilled a bit and saw the new post that held Chris' new video. Pretty good day today.

SIIIIINGGGG PRAISES TO THE LORD GODJESUS! ALLELUIAH!

Same here. Perhaps its a sign from GodJesus that Chris might return or not.
