Not Dead...

...Just having felt any motivation to draw anything recently, but that's changing. Just an update on where ol' Kye is at these days, what he's up to, blah blah.
Once again, I'm unemployed. I was working at Toys R Us again for a second time when one of my buds told me that his boss was looking for someone. This guy ran a construction/carpentry buisness out of his home and only had two others working under him, my friend included. Just doing finishing stuff on houses, things like sanding floors, trim, door jams and all that fun stuff. When I was brought on I was told I'd be getting 20-30 hours a week or potentially full time, with $13.00/hr. That was a better deal than what I was getting at Toys (Asides from working with awesome people and around video games all day. That was pretty sweet, I won't lie), so I left.
I actually ended up getting around 20 hours a week for the first couple of weeks then buisness seemed to drop sharply. There was a period where in two weeks I only got 4 hours, I didn't know if I was working the next day until 9 or ten the night before, and I don't think I'm patient enough for carpentry anyway. I don't know if I want to go back to Toys R Us again, but with my going back to college this fall I might not have a choice.
That's something else too, I'd like to be able to keep a job for more than two months. That's been the pattern for almost a year now. I left the grocery store I'd worked at for 4 years last September. From there I had a security guard position at a hospital which landed a month because someone in the long term care wing died with the granddaughter wondering why Grandpa wasn't waking up, that was pretty damn depressing (Also, night shifts are boring. Good God). From there I got the seasonal position at Toys, seasonal position ended, couple months later get hired back on, leave for construction job and we're all caught up to date. It's frustrating.
I've been going a long time without knowing what it is I want to do in life, but I think things have changed. My Uncle, who's a retired Major in the Canadian Forces and a professor at the Royal Military College came over from Kingston for a visit. The Canadian Forces offer some of the best education you can ask for, all paid (Asides from there being a time commitment of a few years afterwards), the chance to do something that serves your country. It's something I'm seriously considering, because I don't know what else I'm going to do with my life. A 20 year old something that sits at home infront of the computer all the time. I need to change that. I'm blessed to have the kind of parents that I do, down right spoiled. I haven't even gone to see a recruiter yet, but I'm taking solace in the fact that I have a direction again.
Really, the only other thing that's new is my sister is graduating from high school in a week. That kinda makes me feel old. XD. She's got plans to go to a Hair styling school, or something to do with nails. Something in that genre, I'm not sure. I've seen her change a lot in her last couple years of school. She's gone from a person with low self esteem and not too many friends, to a social butterfly. She's got a lot of friends, and goes out even more than I do. She's lost a lot of weight too, Grade 12 has changed her for the better.
Well, that's all I got for ya right now.

Well, sorry things have been rough for ya'. Whatever you decide to do, I hope things work out for you. Any particular branch you were thinking about?

OP
I can't say things have been rough at all because I've been supported by my parents, who I don't know what I'd do without and really am blessed to have. The first thought that comes to mind is to fly, if I can choose it'd be helicopters. Other than that the next thoughts are Combat Engineer or Artillety. Make shit go boom. :D
