Today, I started work on a new bit of a story... My boss walked over and said, "Hey Tom...Is this your last week?" I said, yeah. He said, "Is that because I said so or because you won't be able to come in?" I said because he said so a while ago. So he asked me if I wanted to stay longer...Of course, I took it! YES! I don't have to look for a job now! I don't know how long, but any time at all is good! I have a real job! There is no longer a time limit on my employment!
SO FUCKING RELIEVED.
Wonder if I can put on a few more hours now. I gotta figure Kate's gonna be gone, so maybe I could pick up her hours, actually make some money rather than just keeping myself alive.
I'm poised on what might be the hardest semester I've ever had. Thesis and two 300 level English classes. I might get upwards of 70 pages of writing to do this semester. I don't know how I'm gonna handle that, but I have a feeling I will. Thankfully, I've got 5 days a week to relieve that stress. I guess I'll have school Monday and Wednesday, and work Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Off on weekends. Who'da thunk it? This is the way it's supposed to be. The longer I work here, the more I'll be desirable somewhere else.
When we get back to school, I'm taking my resume to career services to get some help on jazzing it up. I'm not gonna send it out right away, but I don't intend to stay here any longer than I have to. Not that it's a horrible job, but I think I'm destined for greater things (just a figure of speech, I don't believe in destiny).
Depending on how I'm doing in a week, I may or may not look into getting back into counseling. I think my life would be much improved if I started taking something for the social anxiety. Maybe I could live without, but just think how much I could improve if I were capable of the networking and politics that could make my life so much more real and vivid.
Also... I survived this Summer. Unbelievable. Seriously, I can't believe I made it through. Everything I needed to work came through just fine, against all odds. Everything, that is, except that one thing that I'm still learning to live without, which really makes quite a difference. But I guess in learning to live without, I have to focus on the positive. I survived, I THRIVED. I basically stopped making money, but I kept my bank account solid. I never ran out of money. I made it to the end and here we are. The fact that I made it through such a rough time, when I felt alone most of the time, when nothing seemed to work, when I felt like I was falling apart, is amazing. This is just another thing in a long line that has taught me that I can survive anything. Anything that happens, I'll live through it. *CUE OZZY'S IRON MAN*

On a completly unrelated topic, Do you watch "Case Closed" on adult swim. I'm so obsessed with that show right now....
