4th of July is stupid and really sucks.

Now that I got your attention, my life has been improving a lot since I last made a journal because of a lady who got me a volunteer job somewhere in this place called Park Circle. It's kind of a dump and has a cash-only "grocery store", which kinda blows, but it at least has a good few restaurants and even an organic grocery store for hippies. And as I have learned, hippies are awesome.
Of course, I call vegetarianists "hippies," so don't take that statement too seriously. Also there is indeed such a person called a "vegetarianist," look it up.
Anyway, thanks to the lady, who happens to be a vegetarianist, I got to explore my cooking abilities, finally learned the struggles and ethics of a hard day's work in more ways than one, and hopefully things will turn out so great for me in the future that I'll start being paid for data entry or something. Apparently, my alpha speed is 91wpm. Pretty sure that's almost superhuman typing, because the regular threshold is 80 or so. In case you think I'm exaggerating, I tested at least twice. It's a solid 91.
So yeah, I'm no longer at Goodwill, which can go suck a giant cock, and I'm gettin by without them. I'm not going to identify who I do data entry for in the name of preventing internet drama stirring up in the comments section, but I CAN tell you that the people I work for are doing awesome things, I'm being awesome coming in to work so far(a huge improvement), and I'm 100% sure my boss doesn't have a rap sheet and isn't on parole or anything. And before you get too excited, Park Circle is a place near a high school surrounded by suburbs, empty clearings that lead into forestation, and fucking railroad tracks, so I'm not in a cubicle farm slaving away at a computer doing TPS reports having 8 different people up my ass about one little thing I forgot to do.
To be completely honest, though, if I can do something to where nobody can see the awkward boners I sometimes have in my pants, especially when I wear kahkis, I'd probably feel better about being in that kind of environment at all. It's fucking annoying what shenanigans happen down there...
Before you get grossed out at the notion of me worrying about my boner, remind yourself that you're on a fucking art gallery that has an entire mountain range of porn on it.

And I'm in England. But I live a mile down the road from a major RAF base controlled by the US air force. And to make things better, on July 4th, the village school's having a fair and there's a village-wide yard sale. All of which are happening at the same time. ¬_¬
As for your job, congrats!
It's always good to broaden your skills and cooking seems to be a dwindling skill set (and one that comes in amazingly handy, especially when you're desperate for cash*.)
*Kitchen staff is one of the most fillable positions in the world.
Mainly because few people actually enjoy working in kitchens. xD
Anyway, it's good to see you're doing well and still healthy.
