TERMS OF SERVICE
It’s been forever since I’ve been active on here, I mostly lurk.
Since the last post, I did get my associates. This got me nowhere in the job market so I ended up in essentially retail again. I was working for a medical cannabis dispensary and it was great at first. As recreational legality hit, it became clear what the owners and management had planned all along. They were simply biding their time to get greedy. Velveeta Voldemort stepping up definitely emboldened my employers. We tried to unionize and it was moving forward but it was becoming painfully clear that it wouldn’t be able to help fix the root problem, and was simply stirring management’s hostility towards us even further.
My health suffered as a result, and I finally threw in the towel and quit. I’m so glad that I did. The burnout and the harm to my physical body was more than I’d realized.
I haven’t been able to get another job yet. I was applying for jobs, and Kitra and I got rear ended. It clearly exacerbated my back problems, and while I was (still am) on a trip in FL to help my sister in law post surgery, I experienced excruciating 10/10 pain. After an urgent care visit and an emergency department visit, I have a large disc herniation. Trying to get scheduled with providers has been quite the obstacle course while I hobble through my day like an invalid.
3 days before my back reached critical mass, my grandmother passed away. She hadn’t been great but we and the doctors were expecting more time with her. Sadly, because of my back problem, I was unable to fly to Illinois for services so that’s been a grieving process as well.
And of course this all was the week preceding my 40th birthday. So my birthday was spent recuperating in bed and in a recliner, with a brief painful hobble out to a dinner with my sister in law and wife.
I’m REALLY ready for things to start improving but I’m not holding my breath.
Silver lining, I was able to change my display name here to Amari, since that name is taken by an account that has been untouched for 15 years.
