About a week after I got my Crown Vic I drove it to San Jose to see Foo Fighters with my sister and her boyfriend. Kickass show. Stayed in a cool little cabin in Santa Cruz. Stopped in San Francisco and bought some cool stuff at Amoeba Music. Car is amazing.
Got a spot for the physical fitness test for the Reno Fire Department. Didn't pass, but I'm okay with that. I did better than I thought I would and I have an idea of what to work on. Plus the guy who went after me on the "run up five flights of stairs with full turnout gear and carrying a 50 lb hose pack" test threw up, and I didn't. So I got that going for me.
I've been feeling really shitty and miserable in general for a very long time -- at least a year, maybe more. It's been a lot worse the past few months, though. I stopped playing guitar. Stopped working out. I gained weight. Wasn't having fun with my video games any more. I officially got diagnosed with depression and anxiety on top of my OCD last week. Got new meds prescribed. We'll see if they help.
Work still hasn't fixed most of its problems. Getting really tired of it. Gonna look for a new place to work. It's stressing me out way too much even if the paycheck is decent. To be honest, I'm probably gonna look for a different career path in general. Nothing has gone right with EMS. My certification is going to expire in a few months and I still have almost zero relevant experience despite my efforts. Kinda don't see a point in trying any more since I'd probably have to relearn so much anyway...
