Fall is here!

Happy Fall, guys!
Been another month since I've posted anything, so I guess I'll post an update for the one or two of you that actually read these things.
First, my car's fixed. I am so glad it works again. Still has some issues, but putting in a new starter and ripping out the aftermarket security system have solved the problem of it refusing to start. I can drive it dependably once again. I also fixed the remote and I'm currently making some small cosmetic improvements to it to make it more comfortable and look better. As long as nothing else breaks, I'll be happy with it for a while.
It's been kind of a boring month overall, though. Not a whole lot going on.
I'm currently on hiatus from Steam. There are a few reasons, primarily being that I got tired of logging in and doing nothing. None of my games interest me any more and I don't really have anyone to play them with anyway. I hear from a couple of friends now and then, but in general it's just not worth spending the time on any more. I figure if anyone really wants to talk to me, they'll find other ways. That brings me to my other reason: it's basically the only place I've made any friends the past few years. There are a handful of exceptions, but it's pretty depressing to me all the same, especially since most of them inevitably drift away, which happened again recently. So... I guess I'm trying to make a change and re-examine everything. Pursue some interests I've neglected for a while. I've been off it for nearly two weeks now and I can't honestly say I'm missing it.
In better news, I have a real shot at getting to work on an ambulance. I talked to a supervisor at work and let her know I was interested in moving forward, so she told me to talk to HR. After my shift that day I talked to the HR girl and told her I was interested in getting into their next round of temporarily authorized EMT-Intermediates because I felt ready to move up. Turns out I was already on a list of candidates she was going to contact to interview for that very purpose -- a list that was on her desk in front of her when I walked in. So instead of her contacting me, I took the initiative and asked about moving up, so it makes me look like I'm actively interested in improving and moving up the ranks. We set up an interview right then and it happened a few days later. I think it went well, so I'm waiting to see what happens.
Other than that I've been riding my bike a lot. Six or seven miles every time I take it out. Apparently it's improved my physique noticeably and I wasn't even that bad to begin with.
Bought a guitar amp yesterday too. Can't pick it up for a couple of weeks, though; it's secondhand and I guess they have to do a background check to make sure it wasn't stolen or something. Still, I'm looking forward to taking it home.
Guess that's it. Until next time...
