I'm trying to be mindful of how negative I am here, these days. I have a pile of notifications to go through, journals and submissions mostly. I just don't have the energy to keep up on this site like I have before, though I am trying. Like I said, I'm trying not to be too negative, but I don't have much in the way of news for all of you so here's what I do have:

I am currently working on my resume and looking for a solid way out of customer service/retail. This type of work just sucks way too much energy from me, to the point where I suffer depression more often than usual (I lose energy and interest in things I usually enjoy, mostly), and it's horribly clear to me that management and upper management don't care about me or anyone else. Yes, I know this is ridiculously stupid to be surprised about, rest assured I am not surprised and I wasn't expecting it, just I've tried and there's only so long you can push through in this kind of crap before you just can't anymore.

Now what's going to be coming up in the coming year? I intend to get a job that I can at least tolerate (I'm getting to a point where I can't tolerate the kind of work I currently do AT ALL). In spite of my difficulties, I am making good strides in my goals otherwise, so I think I'll be able to accomplish this one! It's also going to mean some major changes for me, like moving again and having more bills and shit. But, you know...I mean it can get worse than how I have it now, but it can also be better. I won't know until I try.
