Alrighty. Its been awhile since I've done an update, so figured I'd throw one out for those who are curious what Ive been up to. As some of you have heard, I moved up to Chicago starting in September of this year. I've been enjoying it alot since arriving. I currently live friends who I've known for years. Pamf and Metro (his bf Noodle as well, but we've only been friends a short time). Everyone has been very welcoming/supporting of me moving into town, and have been rather helpful while I get adjusted. To which I'm eternally thankful for.

Quick back story. Each time I've made a big move, I have struggled finding work right off the bat. When moving from my home state of Cali to Ohio, took me almost 3 months to find work. My landlord/roommate Truegrave was completely understanding, and let me slide on rent/bills until I found a job. Every penny was repaid once I landed work. From Ohio to Georgia, took me almost 3 months again to find work. I filled out countless applications, couldn't find squat. I eventually did find something and gained alot of experience over time. I was hoping with the move to Chicago, I'd finally escape that issue and find something right away. Sadly, it was not to be. Took me another month and a half to find work.

That brings me to my current job/opportunity. Its currently with a Chicago based marketing group that sells various products. Right now its currently working with FW1 waterless spray wax for your car/home. The sales job itself is simplistic, but tedious. The other marketers and myself go to various places like gas stations, Sam's Clubs ( like Costco), etc selling the product to people as they meander by. I'm not a HUGE fan of it, but even though I dislike sales, I've always been good at it. 2 weeks in, I've been consistent with my production numbers and money I bring in.

Now to the big opportunity. While what I'm doing now totally sucks and pulling 12-13+ hours with no real scheduled days off (I can ask to take one if I need it), they hired me with the hopes of promoting me to a Manager position and giving me my own office of employees to run. That's their end goal since they're looking to expand more in Chicago and open up more offices starting in April/May time frame. My boss has shown interest in grooming me for such a position, since he's seen the work I've put in and consistency with production. He wants to try and promote me by the end of March/early April as long as i continue to stay consistent, show leadership, help others who are struggling, and essentially act the part of a manager/leader.

That being said, some sacrifices need to be made. As much as I love being social with everyone here in Chicago, I have a very big opportunity that will grant me freedom/stability for the future. Something I've never had before. For years, money and a direction have always plagued me and stressed me out off and on. The ability to finally rid my mind of all of that is in sight. I want to jump at this chance and run with it. While I know it'll be difficult physically/mentally, it'll be for the best. If all things pan out, I have the opportunity to make upwards of 6 figures. On the verge of being 30 (Jan 17th for those who don't know), Its time to start planning/ironing things out for the next stage of my life.

So, I apologize ahead of time for any possible parties, events, birthdays, social stuff I'll miss in the upcoming months. Its not due to disinterest in wanting to attend, but due to making a sacrifice now, so I can have the freedom later. Just hope everyone understands and wont forget I'm still around and such. I'll do what I can to still make social events when available. Please don't forget about me if I seem quiet, unavailable, tired all the time, etc. I'm still here. Just busting ass now so I can relax/have fun later. Love you guys <3
