Current State of the Dragon
7 years ago
I'm not the biggest of Journal writers out there, not even sure how many folks read mine, but I figured I should get another one up that's more recent than a completed and closed growth drive!
State of the Dragon: Been working at my job for roughly 15 years now, been having a lot of changes going on with the store, from one of the worst coworkers I've ever had getting fired back in 2015, to my store opening up a whole new section of the store dedicated to medical equipment, to really, finally, starting to get a better grasp on what I want out of my career. Its been a long journey, with still (hopefully) many many miles ahead of me left to go, and while its had it's fair share of difficulties, I'm fairly satisfied with where I am right now. As with everything, there are things that could be better (making more for example) but that's the same for pretty much everyone, so I'm not discontent about it.
I'll be reaching the age of 35 this year, come the end of May, and I found out somewhat recently that according to some in the furry community, that this makes me a Grey Muzzle... I'm unsure how I feel about that, because 35 isn't that old (never mind the protesting knees!) I mean, just because I have a grey (or white/silver) whisker here or there doesn't mean anything, right? ...Right? Ah whatever, life is what it is, I don't bemoan (that often) being the age I am. It means I've had more experience in life than those younger than me, and gives me an excuse now to go "Back when I was your age..." Which is, honestly, rather fun to do with the high school kids that work at my store. Like... Pogs! I collected the shit out of those when i was younger... never actually played a 'game' with them. Man, I wonder if I have them in the basement somewhere...
I'll have to check in the morning!
I know this isn't a 'complete' State of the Dragon, but it felt good to get this much written down. Now we'll have to see if another year passes before I put up another journal! To those who read this, stay safe and warm (or cool if you're in those climates)!
