Where have I been?
9 years ago
I know it's been more than a few months since I last did ANYTHING on here. No posts, no journal entries, nada. Well, that's due in part to what's been going on in my life as of late. So this journal to is to explain that to those that are interested in knowing. But before I start here is my KiK for anyone that wants to get in touch with me at any point.
KiK: ThatchSimon
Back in October of last year I had plans with one of my closest friends to move into a place he was planning on buying as soon as he could while I remained in my home town while things got sorted out. But not long after we started getting those plans at the ready and we thought we'd be moving in to the place towards the end of the month. Also during that month I had gotten very stressed out from work being very lacking in hours, and one day when one of the new hires with the keys to the wood shop didn't show up on time, and wanted to bitch about mine and the foreman's attitude towards her that day due to her over sleeping and her having the only available key. As the day went on she kept wanting to boss us around trying to say that we had to things HER way even though I clearly remembered what the Boss wanted us to do for that current project, and I even made it clear what he wanted and told her that she was incorrect. She didn't like that and told us to do as she said. Needless to say we get to the final parts of the project and lo and behold, several parts were incorrectly drilled for holes they didn't need and too many parts that were too short for what they were intended for. So that topped off with the already existing stress I blew up on her, and told her that after that fuck up we may as well shut down the shop for the day because there wasn't anything we could do without going back to square one and having to start the multiple day process over again. She took this opportunity to try and say that I had no authority to do so even though the foreman agreed with me, and said that we should close up.
After blowing up I went back home to try and relax. That never happened since when I got home I got a group text from her to myself, the foreman, and the Boss whining on about how she was so stressed out about how she was being treated, and how we weren't being considerate of our Boss and the situation at hand. Even though we both knew full well what was going on, and hadn't said anything or made a deal of it out of respect for our boss. She kept on and on in the text about how she felt so disrespected. At that point I had a serious anxiety attack and broke down. To try and calm myself, as lame as it might sound, I was texting my mom and she offered for me to move in with her for as long as I needed, and that's what I did.
That same day I began packing up all of the belongings that were essential, and that I could pack into my car; packing the car essentially like it was a game of Tetris. During getting all of my stuff into the car I was still quite upset and bawling my eyes out my grandmother who I had been staying with to keep her feeling comfortable saw me and began to get upset since I wouldn't explain what was going on at the time, which in turn upset me further. Once my uncle and aunt showed up they saw this as well, my uncle also being my boss mind you, my aunt forced some money into my pocket even though at the time I wanted nothing to do with either of them. Once I had my car packed, and my nerves calmed down enough I texted my girlfriend to see if she'd be willing to stay with me at my mom's for a week to make sure I didn't do anything stupid, and to help comfort me.
Once I hit the road and had picked her up we ended up getting lost due to me not remembering the way to my mom's house several hours away. Not only did I get lost once, or twice, but three times. We had to get in touch with my stepdad to get him to help us figure out where to go to get to my mom's place. Eventually we did get there and got my things unpacked, and that's where I stayed for about two months.
During the two months or so at my mom's I started applying for a job that the friend I was going to move in with had been trying to get for me, which I ultimately got, and still have these several months later. At that time I had internet, but it was very limited and when I was gone it was gone. So I couldn't really stay in contact that much, or post anything; that's why I haven't posted much of anything in all this time.
After some time of having the new job, and keeping up with my friend we finally found out that we could move into his parent's old place while we waited for our real place to become purchasable. Once we knew we could move in I began packing all of my stuff into my car once again, and had my stepdad help out with the furniture that I couldn't manage to pack into my little car. Needless to say I got my stuff off loaded into the temporary place and had my girlfriend over again to keep me company as we cleaned the place up in preparation for my friend and his girlfriend to move in as well.
Now here it is several months down the road, and my job is finally looking like I'll be getting full time hours along with finally having some very important paperwork finally cleared and released to the proper channels for review to allow me to do more with my job. It even looks like we'll be getting our long term home in the new few weeks or so. It'll be some time further down the road before we have any kind of internet connection however so I may not be able to post as often as I'd like to, but I can do as I'm doing now which is sit at the library. I only have a few gigs of phone data, but I would be more than happy to talk to others on KiK so don't be shy, and feel free to chat me up.
Expect more art in the near future every once in awhile. Peace!
