Alright. Long time before I shared anything about me. If you can't tell I'm more of a lurker than anything else. I'm going to try and change that.

So much has happened since my last journal...5 years ago! Jeez. What the hell man?

Anyway, after so many jobs and junk to happen I landed one that I think I'm going to be a lifer at, at least until my Full Pension date in 20-ish years. I am currently working in the support staff of my county's jail. So glad to not be an officer and I have seen stuff both to boil your blood and break your heart. I got a supervisor position and am actually enjoying the added responsibility. Not going to lie, the pay increase was absolutely a factor in the decision-making process, lol.

My mate's job is back on track. They got kind of screwed over with the onset of Covid lockdowns and restrictions. Couldn't work in their career field cuz they were shut down! But interviews were done, and they started their new job a few weeks ago! Wahoo!

Also good news: I am in the works of getting my student loans paid off! After ten years of sending money off to "The Man" (my loans were through the Dept. of Education...ughhh) I can finally bask in the feeling of not having that monkey off my back and their hand off my wallet! Not that I have anything against monkeys; just people who want to take money from me.

All-in-all it's looking pretty good so far. Just one more thing and I might be as good as I can realistically get: a D&D group going again. First I need place to actually play but that might just be a detail if I get right down to it.

Here's to all of you who read this! Hope life's going as good as it can for you! Wishing you the best!
