This is for tombstone, who gave me a nudge, but the rest of you monkeybutts can read it too, if you want.
This is what's going on with me: I'm liking work. I'm still a tiny cog in the same medium sized nonprofit, but I recently got a promotion, and now my job is a little more interesting, with a lot more responsibility, a little more money, and decent insurance! Yes, that last is very exciting. It also involves dressing "business casual," and I'm having a hell of a time with that. I don't have the clothes, you know? And I really hate shopping. Also, I really don't have the money. My paychecks have yet to actually reflect my raise, but they should, starting next pay period. (Of course, they were supposed to start a couple of pay periods ago, but I live in hope.)
I can finally see the light at the end of the financial tunnel (or hole, or whatever). I'll be making enough money to pay rent, pay the bills, and start to pay off old debt and personal debt. This is a huge cliche, but it fits: it's like a huge weight has been lifted off my chest. I didn't realize it how heavy it was until it was gone.
Personal stuff is almost always interesting, and even mostly good. I just keep re-learning the same lessons over and over, ya know? But maybe they stick a little bit more each time. Most of the time I know that I'm getting closer to the person I'd like to be, but I can't help wishing that it wasn't such an incremental, two steps forward and one step back kinda thing.
Also, I got a new cell. If you don't have the number yet, and you'd like to, let me know.
Typing in this little text box was kind of fun. Maybe I'll do it again soon.
