About a month ago, I thought I was having the time of my life. Everything was looking up. I had a job, I a was getting a new computer, my bills were in order, and my friends & I were going to get a house together. Yeah things were looking great until, BAM, I got arrested. It's pretty much gone downhill since then. I got fired from my old job, the money stopped coming in, and I owed more than I could afford. I had to find a new job and luckly I found one quickly. I'm acctually making more money at this job, but I owe money and the kicker is I get paid bi-weekly instead of every week. Yeah, so I'm living from pay check to pay check..
I work for a Merchandise wholesale distribution wharehouse as basic stocker/stock picker. Basically, I ride a standing forklift all day, get things down for assocciates to fill orders, and put things up so they can find them as well. The most frustrating thing about the job is when I'm trying tho stock a shelf about 15 feet in the air and someone below me says "hay, can you get a book down for me." I say sure, just give me one second to finish this here. Then they say, " Hurry up I need this now." Well its part of my job and I have to do it, but I'd like to see on of the order fillers try and drive a standing lift all day. Dangle themselves up, 15 feet of the ground with nothing but concrete on the bottom.
But anyway, my job is ho-hum. And soon I'll be moving out of this apartment that me and my roommate share because I can't afford it anymore. I'll be moving in with my mom soon. Which is cool because, me and my mom don't talk to each other often, and I can use this time to reestablish a relationship with her. I wanted to moveout on my own before, but I was always afraid of not seeing the people that I have met through my roommate. But that doesn't matter know, because all the friends that come around, don't come around anymore. But I have bigger things to worry about besides that.
Eventhough life feels like it has me by the balls and is twisting as hard as hit can to make me scream "uncle". I still have to keep a positive attitude and try not to think as much. I still have my health, which I'm thahkful for. And I glad I have a little support system.
I've only been at Joe User for about a week, and I love reading everyones opinions about the things that are right or wrong in todays society. Expressing yourself. Writing about things for your own benifit, not because it's the cool/hip thing to do. Because you want to.
Ahhhh. Freedom of expression, makes me proud to be an american.
