Big changes are finally coming! After a little hangup (see: soon to be laid off) due to a new policy at work, I’ve got a huge opportunity that I cannot pass up.

Last week, I had an interview and assessment test in Lexington. Found out that I need to get a certification and than I’ll be able to really get a good job. That was just Tuesday. On Wednesday after returning to work, I hear of this new policy at work. The policy essentially says that after 1000 work hours, I cannot work here for six months. That is fine by me. On Thursday, I realized that this is an opportunity because my lease is up next month. The final piece to jell all of this together is that my best friend asked me when or if I would ever be moving to Lexington. That time is NOW!

So, I am very excited. I can have better job opportunities, live closer to my best friend, and, when she gets back to the states, be with the woman that I hve been dreaming about so much! Could anything else make it better?!

Anyway, thats all the news for now. Ciao.

Life seems to have a funny way of working through some things. Just when you think things pull together, they just might. In my case, it’s more unorthodox than usual.

I’ve spent the last several weeks being extremely busy. Within that time, I have gone to Kings Island, Windy Hollow to swim, Lexington to see my best friend an a wonderful woman from Finland that I have met. Actually, I can’t seem to get her off my mind. The friends I am closest to know all about how I can’t stop talking about her. I must be crazy.

Aside from all the travelling, I have been working on my website ideas, and coming up with new and innovative features. Those of which, I shall not talk about yet. They have been keeping me busy.

I would also like to extend my congratulations to Jeff on getting a new job back at home. Now he can return. I have to admit, I am slightly jealous, but I am very happy for him

On the job front: I’ve still got nothing. I’m sending my cards out to everyone to start getting clients, but to no avail. However, I may have a few “nibbles” in Lexington with jobs that pertain to using my degree. I’m praying that I cab finally get on somewhere. It’s sickening, stressful, and disheartening to know that I’m the only CS in my graduating class that does not have a job. That’s ok, though. I’m searching as hard as possible.

Things have been crazier than ever between me trying to find a job and spending time with family and friends. It’s hard to believe that my two youngest nieces are a year old. Well, almost. Alanna will be a year old the day after I turn 24. Crazy.

So I have three nieces that I need to spoil absolutely rotten. That’s another reason I want a good job. I love spoiling my nieces, just because I can. Wouldn’t you?

Yeah, yeah. I’m sure you all are wondering why I’m writing this at work. It’s a little slow right now, and things don’t get busy for me until after out 9 AM break, which is in a short bit. In any case, it’s time for me to find something else to do. I shall end with Paul Harvey’s infamous words, “Good day!”

I just realized it’s been a while since I’ve written in this thing. I’m staying relatively busy trying to find a new job, clean up around here, and work on the website. I’m also working on some new entries for the 1000 Albums project. Life’s keeping me busy, and having its ups and downs. Anyway, g’nite.

Life is just seeming so… distant. I’m beginning to feel drawn out and under-used at my current temporary job. With everything going on, I feel like an absolute waste of life. I’ve worked so hard, studied even harder (despite things that made it emotionally, financially, and almost physically impossible to study) and fought my way all along so I could graduate. Now, all that time and money feels like it was a waste. I lost a good friend to suicide, I lost family that I was exceptionally close to, and I lost friendships because of stupidity on both our parts. Have I not sacrificed enough? I’ve spent so much time and effort to better myself, to try and be more confident, to be a hard worker, to be a great friend, to love and learn and everything else, but it has done nothing but hurt me. I’m patiently waiting, hoping, praying, and begging for something better.

Development on LetMeRant.com is coming along nicely. I keep coming up with some really great ideas. I’m working hard to get them implemented. There are a couple of algorithms I want to apply to it, as well as a few filters I want to put into place. I just keep coming up with great ideas for it.

Alright, I’m off to bed. Goodnight.
