Well, ... my life pretty much sucks right now... 
LadyofStage has left me, and moved back to SLC ...
We had been together for eight years, come this August.
She left for several reasons:
...she didn't like the work here, we mainly do Tradeshow/Convention work here, and she wanted to go back to the stage, which I also missm but I didn't like SLC for several reasons, the pay sucks, I'm sick of the cold/snow, and I like the 24/7 of LV, .... not to mention, it's only 4-5 hours to LA/the ocean and Six Flags Magic Mountain.
...plus we had a drinking habit, we would go through a half gallon of vodka easily, in two days. So she went to sober up... since she left *which was about 3 weeks ago), I have quit the vodka thing, and now I am trying to quit drinking, or at least keep it in control, since I still like a good beer,or wine. I realize that my drinking made me lazy, I didn't give her much attention, and I think that is one reason why we don't get many calls for work, was that we would still smell of booze, the next day. We never drank at work, but she would wake up and have a shot before work, which I always frowned upon...
...I am in debt, my unemployment has run out, and work is slow( I have only worked two days in the past two months). So, I have taken in a roommate, who also happens to be a stagehand, but he goes out on tours. He is currently back east, with Aerosmith, I believe. He won't be back until about the 20th. So I am alone alot theses days, which doesn't help, for my depression factor... I am considering seeking F/T employment, vs waitng for dispatch to call me...
I don't really blame her, for her wanting to quit drinking, ... but we could have done it together, and worked things out... I wish she would come back, but I don't forsee that ever happening...

Hey, go join up over here. Mostly folks like me who quit altogether, but we're a very non-judgmental bunch. If you just want somewhere to think things over & talk to others who've been there it's the place.

ps, I plan on keeping it up. I want to lose more weight and this time, I'm pretty sure I finally really WANT it so, I'm doing it. Thanks.
