Heh... bet you didn't expect to see me again huh? Yeah... I'm back, not sure for how long though.
Lot of stuff has been going on the past 7 or so months? I rather not get into the lot of it, just say I wish there was at least a shelter -anywhere- around these parts, but those I found had closed down >.< . The job hunt still goes on for me, I was lucky to catch a job with the salvation army as a bell ringer, you know those people who stand out front of stores ringing bells with a red stand and donation pot? Yeah I did that. In direct freaking sunlight, no shade, 10 hour shifts, 6 days a week. I still sport signs of the sunburn I gained from it. It was a short job however, they only do such from thanksgiving to Christmas eve, but I got paid for it, min wage but it was something.
I think it was due to that, and some talking into from mom that made my step dad allow me back. But that may be short lived again as hes given me two months to find a job or... It could have also been due to that he needed to renew my food stamps card, something HE has kept control over.
He uses the salvation army as an excuse, 'See you can find work if you try hard enough' but there was no trying, they hired -everyone- that signed up.. that's just what they do. Finding a real long lasting jobs harder, -no one- is hiring around here. Even a woman support group that also offers job searches has yet to find me anything.
The store I bell rang for isn't even hiring, and I became rather good friends with the manger there and if they had the availability she would offer me something, but they had to lay off some people because they don't have the hours to spread around. A few I know only have like 5 hours a week.
I go out three times a week, riding the bus's, using what money I earned from bell ringing to pay my way, hoping something out there shows up.
So, I am still very much struggling still very much stressed out to no end.
Heh.. I have gray hairs growing in... I'm not even 30 yet and I have gray hairs. Yep, I call that big stress.
I wanted to return to here to maybe relieve some of that, maybe work on my game again in the free time I can find here and there when not being told to do this chore and that chore... yeah I'm there happy little servant or HIS anyway... keep him happy so his temper don't go off or he may take away everything I just 'earned'.
Heh, this is becoming a bit of a pity party, I didn't mean it to sorry.
Looking forward to checking out what everyone has been up to, how is ARC coming along? and the rewrite of the BABS? I need to have a long look around, see what all I've been missing out. Get some motivation to poke my own game again and maybe finally get someone to edit zhud for me to add an image bg behind the bars and level to it ^^;
Can I haz hug?
