Can't Stop[Maroon 5] |

It's been forever...but hi everybody! /wave Geez...where to begin...
Let's start at my birthday. I had a really good time having dinner with my friends and family. I think I had mentioned that I got a 6x8 Intuos 3 tablet. I haven’t had a chance to play with it though. I got tons of cash and $100 gift card to best buy from Colin. I went to the Roadhouse with my friends for dinner…I got my steak and alcohol ^^ Then we played a little Mario Party. Overall this year was a good birthday, even if I felt really old turning 22.
Since the middle of July I had been working at Wunderland (nickel arcade). I have to thank Kate for help getting that job. It really helped having something in-between so I could make money and look for a fulltime permanent job. I was there for a month and a half, and after that time I would only have to say one thing…I HATE THE GENERAL PUBLIC!!! OMG the stupidity of the masses. And thanks to that job, I want to have kids as soon as I can, so I can prove to the world that the future generations aren’t a total loss. Thumbs up for the parents too *rolls eyes* I seriously wanted to smack some of these people upside the head. *puff* Wunderland was prolly the single most stressing job I’ve had…my skin was even peeling cause of the stress (It’s a weird thing that happens to me). Plus I had no time to do anything. I only worked 6 hours a day on average, but it was always at night and would be so worn out that even the internet was too hard to visit.
Luckily for me I was able to get a new job! I’ve been at the Department of Revenue for 3 weeks now. The best things about this job… I’ll be making a little over $1500 a month. It’s a permanent, fulltime position…so that means 40 hours a week. I will now have the same health benefits my parents do, but under my own policy, so now I don’t have to worry about visiting the doctor. The bad things…I’m BORED OUT OF MY MIND! I work in the files department, and you just imagine what the duties are for that! That’s right! Filling! And pulling files, and looking up files, and making files, and refilling files, and purging files. I understand it’s a slow season right now, but still I’m going crazy with boredom. We can’t “chit chat “for more than 5 mins. Thanks to one stupid intern, no internet. AND everyone have to be happy ALL THE TIME! That was the sole reason I was hired too…because I seemed like a happy, upbeat person. I won’t complain more though, I’m just very happy to have this job…and there always room for advancement. Plus I have my evenings and weekends back and I can be online more too ^^
As for my eyes…I waited the 2 months and saw Dr. Westfall again. Now this whole time I was trying my hardest to keep better track of my blood sugar levels and making sure to take insulin with food. But despite all that, I’m still going to have the eye surgery (Focal photocoagulation). Basically he said that I’m young enough that it could get better, but it’s already a problem that needs to be fixed. I really am dreading it too. It won’t fix my sight so I could see without glasses. And the more I have to have the surgery, more my peripheral vision is destroyed. And the one thing that made me cringe the most…”Okay, so I’m not going to stick a needle in your eye, but I will giving you an injection near it” *shudder* It’s on October 1st in the morning, so I’ll prolly have a report later in the afternoon that day. It’s just going to be my right eye, then after 6 weeks he’ll do my left eye.
As I had mentioned earlier, Colin has desided to join the Airforce. And though I agree with his reasons (school, future) I’m still having having trouble adjusting to the idea. I think it’s wonderful that he finaly wants to go back to school. And through the Airforce, he’ll not only have school paid for, but they will pay him living expenices. But he wants me to go with him. I know that it would a wonderful thing to travel, to meet new people, see new places…but I’m very attached to my family and my friends here. My friends are quite literally part of my family. I would even miss my dad, even though we’ve never really gotten along very well. I would miss everyone dearly. Plus moving around every 3-4 years does not seem fun to me, that would mean I would need to search for another job each new place and once I would get settled, it would be time to move again. He thinks I would be content just being a housewife on a base…I said fuck that. I would NEVER be happy being a housewife…it’s just not me. I love working and earning my own income. Plus, in order for us not to live in the barrecks…we would have to get married…and that’s something we are both not ready for either. I have a lot to think about and he still has 38 pounds to drop before he can actuly sign up.
Well that’s all I can really think of for now, but I leave you with a picture of me that is now famous around the web…
