So many questions...

Music: the hum of my laptop
9a

The waiting game continues. I did my part yesterday as soon as I saw the opportunity. About time they actually let me know something. I'd been waiting for two weeks to get a spot in line, so to speak, so now...I wait. A year ago at my job, I was nearing my 6-month 'probation' period as an unloader, just waiting to get my hands on something, anything, and get out of that God-awful position that very nearly killed me. I had so much doubt that getting out would be so easy, and when I finally saw a hauling position open up, I knew it couldn't be that easy, because I just don't have that kind of luck. My family was on pins and needles, and friends had no doubt I'd get that job. I served my time and paid my dues, and blood, sweat and tears finally paid off. Now, I'm 10 months in, and I couldn't be more proud of myself for going this long. But it hasn't been without struggle; my arm has been bothering me this week. If I have to stay on this path, then I'm going to have to go see my doctor. Not looking forward to that, but it would be nice to have some feeling come back to my hand...

And now, (and I still haven't told anyone else about what I'm doing), I'm trying to branch out and keep all my options open. IF I were to choose to transfer at my current job, I have no steps against me, and I've served my 6 months. So I'm good on that. As far as transferring out of walmart altogether...that's going to be interesting. Whatever happens...I'm ready.

And still so many questions about other things going on in my life. But so much is about to happen:

I turn 30 in 3 months. I'm scared, I'm excited, I'm happy, but most of all...I think I'm going to throw up. 

I'm about to pay off my car...FINALLY! Then I can either decide if I wanna sell it, or coast without the added bill of a car note for a while. Hmmm lemme think about th- I WANT A NEW CAR!  :D

My medical bills are being paid off, and I'm still progressing along. In August I'm going to have the surgery done, then probably have them start the process of straightening my teeth sometime in September, just before my birthday. I'm so excited and I can't wait to get my life back. I'm still so uncomfortable around other people...

The moving out scenario is creeping back into the equation. I'm moving to Baytown, ya'll ready for me?? *everyone gets in their cars and speeds away not looking back* YES! FREE STARBUCKS!

If I remain at the warehouse, peak season will start soon, and can I please PLEASE get some overtime already?? It's not fair! 


I can't believe how fast this week has gone by, it's been fun, frustrating, and productive. I'm taking a much needed break this weekend from the warehouse, and taking advantage of the time while everyone else has to drag themselves in to work at the ass crack of dawn. I'll be laughing, until next Friday morning when I have to go back, annoyed and tired as fucking hell. 

Until then, Happy July 4th everyone, stay safe. I'm drinking at home today.
