Finally settled...

Well, my arrival to Jersey wasn't without some shit hitting the fan. I'm not going to get into too much detail (don't bother asking) other than Ashley is back with Steve and working towards a brighter future. I'm truly happy for them and wish them the best. As for me? I'm back on the open dating market!

I'm not going to lie and say that the events that went down didn't leave it's scars, but I'll bounce back and be alright. Ashley, Steve, and I will all still be friends so it's not like I'm utterly alone up here (hopefully).

As for the job-o, I should start training on June 8th. I can't wait! Already met the big-cheese himself, and he seems like a laid back kind of guy. I'll be taking care of patients in what sounds like a mental institution, so at least I'd have something in common with the patients. I'll be sure to share whatever bizarre story I get out of it!

Other than that, I got to go to Atlantic City the day before yesterday, which was like Casino central. Really pretty with flashy lights all over the place. They also have Roman/Greek statues and assortment of Western thingies. Yeah. Weird mix but I like seeing crazy things so I'm happy! I also got to hang out with Ashley's whole family on Memorial Day, which was great, too!

Let's see if I can finally get back on my feet and not go out of my mind any more than I already have.

Moving Again

I'll just go ahead and quote what I posted on the Asylum:

"Yes. Again.

Figured I'd post here. More OoTers sneak in here than Asylumites sneak into the OoT. Who da thunk? Smiley: laugh

Anyway, up until now, I've been living in Charlotte, NC desperately looking for a job to no avail. I should've kept looking into going to college like Nexa recommended (which is still a fantastical idea) but even getting my taxes for financial aide proved to be a real bitch.

Add stress to that from being jobless for about 3 months and it becomes easy to be side tracked.

Just this thursday, though, my GF's mom apparently was able to get quite the connect. Not only do I have a job lined up but instead of living with my best friend's bro, I may even have a studio apartment lined up. Catch 22 is that it's in South Jersey.

At least I'll be 10 minutes away from said GF, so that's all dandy.

Sorry DSD/Tare/Cami/RJ that I couldn't visit and have a drink with y'all. Wanted to get out of bum status but that never happened. Smiley: frown

I'll be leaving by this coming Saturday, just in time for Terminator. Here's hoping (again) that things go my way in yet another new spot. Been going on quite the bad luck run. At least it's already looking brighter. I'll be able to do college from home till I can get my hands on a set of wheels again and make something out of my sad little life.

Till then...

Smiley: drunk"

Yeah, that pretty much sums shit up for me. To add further detail, the job is with me taking care of disabled people and making sure they take their meds and eat. Not tough since I used to help my mom with old people from time to time with the same exact thing.

Matt, on the other hand, is going to try Florida again. It'll be nice for him to be with all his friends again and he even has a job or two lined up. Going to miss the asshole dearly, though. At any rate, the plan is to eventually rendezvous with Alex in GA. Hopefully by the time we've saved the cash for that, Ashley should be done with school and this recession won't be as much of a bitch as it is now.

If you are in NC and looking for work; good luck. I had none.

Here's hoping this new chapter doesn't suck like the last dozen!
