For those who are curious: I’ve simply decided the job I had was impeding me, emotionally. I leave so mad each day, so glad to be leaving, that don’t overcome that feeling until about 6am the next morning . . .I care passionately about only a few things, and my job was interfering with them.
Which is unfortuneate, because while my specific job was not something I was enjoying, I liked the workplace and the coworkers tremendously. I’ll miss them, but if they matter, they’ll persist as fixtures in my life.
I took a new job as the manager of a set of apartments. It will be a hard and thankless job at times, but it will allow me mental freedom most of the time. And access to power tools.
Also, I will be living in one of the units I manage, so there will be no more cross town commute and no more junkfood lunches. . . bring me to another thing I’m eager to speak of tonight:
My 25th birthday is approaching fast (it’s the 24th) . .. And I’ve decided that between this birthday and the next, I’m going to lose a steady 2 pounds or so a week, with the hopes of returning to the world of martial arts, mixed martial arts, and boxing . . .why do I share this? Because I really, really need a cheering section. I haven’t done so well with not being lazy lately, and I need some shit-talk to snap me out of some deeply engrained rotten habits.
I’ve also decided that money matters, and I’m going to get some over the next few months. Even if some rules get bent and hearts get broke.

26 and I’m flat broke, I’ve been down so long I have given up hope.
Shattered nerves anxiety, so much more than I wanted to be.
I often wonder what went wrong, but I can’t remember, it’s been too long.
Think out loud things I want to change
–Zero Down, “Down this Road”
I have pom poms, a tight sweater, flippy skirt and a bouncing pony tail! I’m rootin’ for ya!!!
So . . . dirty . . . send …picture.
Ok, so what do you care about?
Ok, tiger, no more junk food for you. It’s time to *meow meow meow* (circa MST3K) exercise.
BTW … power tools are ultra sexy.
I think you’ll like apt. manager. Plus, staying active outside like that will help keep you away from junk food…
That sounds great, I hope you will enjoy it. Best of luck in your new career and in acheiving your goals.
Can I borrow your cheering section on occasion if I promise to be part of it? I’m having the same problem…
wow dude, i’m so happy for ya! me? i’m goin to work in fifteen minutes. i’m not jealous at all! no seriuosly, good for you. and i wish you shit loads of luck with the weight thing and the boxing and the martial arts. i’d love to get into martial arts. maybe reading about it will give me a kick in the ass. KIVE!
I can ‘pom pom’ with the best of them. I’ll be front row… cheering you on. This time next year I see you as “Ramiel The Tool Man” with a drill on each hip and more ‘sass’ than a 16y/o hip-hopper. Go Man!!!
yep, your own personal cheering squad with aforementioned clo thing, ready to rev the power tools for you to keep the morale up. it could be worse, you know…
Please tell me you have access to an air arc and a plasma welder. If you do I swear I won’t use them on good people. Also i’d be your coolest person on my cool list.
