It's been a while...
10 years ago
7 Months since my last journal, it appears. Well I guess I should give you guys an update on what is going on in my life, if you are interested.
So two years ago, almost to the day, I got my last paycheque from a company called Zucora. They administer Service Plans that are sold at some furniture and mattress retailers throughout North America. I have been applying for IT jobs and pretty much getting no interviews for the last two years, though for the last year I have also been assisting someone I know create and get off the ground a new product (and company) for the furniture industry. Well technically, many products but the one we launched on November 1st (2015) looks like the final winner.
So it looks like in January, I will start part-time hours with that company and hopefully get back on track, take care of some of the outstanding bills I've had over the last two or more years and eventually get back to some semblance of financial freedom.
Also for the last two years I haven't really been active here and I do not think that'll change in the future, I spend most of my time on twitter, either at cola_katz or deertai (Mostly the second account right now). So if you don't follow me on twitter and you have twitter, you are more than welcome to and say "Hi" too :D.
Now, some positive things have happened, I took steps last year to change how I view the world from a pessimistic point of view to something more positive and I've started taking local classes to just do something other than looking for jobs or helping someone get a company off the ground. And more recently I've started to game on Thursday nights with friends on Team Punchtown (http://twitch.tv/teampunchtown). All of this is fun and besides improving myself improves my life and that definitely is important!
I still need to work on my physical appearance (aka lose weight) but part of where I am stuck should be helped once I have more financial freedom (I'm limited in grocery shopping). The other part is that I separated my AC shoulder joint in one of the courses I've taken (Aikidio), so I have needed to be careful with that as well.
I'm positive that 2016 will be a great year though and I want to get back to some furry stuff and get to cons, which I miss going to, including MWFF (which I had hopes of getting to this year but couldn't figure out the money).
So... *waves at you all* Thanks for stopping by and hopefully we'll talk!
